Soon or later it will its good that you do it on this way because the fact is that earning bitcoins on this way is safe and without any risks.
I think most likely the bitcoin will rise to a higher amount so its good to earn them free, 100% profit.
I think buying is the best and also the quickest way without risks, also a signature campaign is of course possible it its without risks and pretty easy the only downside is that it will take a long time to gain a whole bitcoin.
Since he is a newbie, what if he can't afford to buy an account that can get into high paying signature campaigns? Even it is non risk method.
But still we need to consider if he can afford it.
If you do not have any money to buy bitcoin, you can earn bitcoin directly in this forum by taking part in signature campaign.
