I’d like to join the network, pursue my interest and be able to pay my bills thanks to bitcoin

Bitcoin is not magic money, you will have to invest in it in order to profit, or offer your services in exchange for bitcoin that you can then sell.

My Mac is too old, not eligible for updates so that I could run bitcoin as well as sluggish with music and my finance situation is not going well for various reasons at this particular time.

Why do you even need to "run bitcoin" in order to use it? That just doesn't make any sense at all.
I don't want to sound too harsh, but what you are doing just doesn't make any sense at all, asking total strangers for money, and especially not for such a bad reason.

Hello, my name is Wojtek, I am 24

I am an amateur artist and musician from Poland and I have recently discovered bitcoin through Mr Antonopoulos.
I’d like to join the network, pursue my interest and be able to pay my bills thanks to bitcoin

Welcome to the forum, but Mr Antonopoulos should have explained better to you that by joining bitcoin doesn’t mean you are financially free and can be able to pay your bills at anytime you wish to. In order to achieve that, you must have learnt how to invest and also wait for a long term for your investment to be profitable before you can take them out and settle your bills. It isn’t that hard, but not knowing the basics and how bitcoin functions will make you think it is a place you can come and make money and become rich overnight. You have to learn the process and develop yourself here before you can reap from bitcoin investment.

He must have meant something else by saying he wants to “run bitcoin”, maybe a way of saying I want to be a part of bitcoin enthusiasts and own some for myself. With his statement, you know he isn’t yet familiar with bitcoin and needs to be introduced to it properly so that he can have a rethink of the mindset he came with when he heard about bitcoin and decided to join this forum.

Asking total strangers for money is something I see people do and are okay with it. For some people, there lucky and get someone that will help them without them knowing each other before. Just by their stories, they feel sorry and compelled to help them get what they want. Actually he might get people to help him, but he just didn’t know that this forum is not a place for that. It is necessary he goes through the Beginners and Help board pin threads for guidance.

Thank you all for the replies. Now as the thread has unfolded a bit and I see some of my errors, I have a chance to address more clearly what is going on.
I am not really looking forward to become a miner but I'd be happy to try the thing out.

More important for me is the inability to get bitcoincore installed on Mac OS Yosemite.
I have a MacBook Air 2015 and it had a mojave installed, I started to use terminal as I became involved with bitcoin but something went wrong and i had to reinstall the whole software. I couldnt get back to newer versions of software nonetheless, I am not sure whether that might be an Apple policy for older Macs to push people to get newer ones. I can't get on with music software I've been using too.

I am not exactly looking just for investment or short term kick of money, I am curious of the technology and development and how it would play out with me pursuing music too. It's a combination of a technical need and a life variable that got me short in time so I decided to reach out to a large community around that.

Here's picture of my Mac just for the info
