 Hey Brits, what's a good link I could give to a future-coiner living in the UK, who was just asked by a freelancer in Ghana to pay invoices in BTC, but who has no idea how bitcoin works at all? No knowledge, no wallet, no coins. Where do I send them?

 Just help them buy Bitcoin.

 That's a big "just", when you have to explain everything to them and then see to it that they don't do anything wrong. They're not a friend of mine, and I don't have time to do free bitcoin support for them.

 It's still true.

 1. https://www.currensea.com/

This enables a UK based person to buy in non-GBP with low fx fees

2.
https://azte.co/buy/online-stores?country=GBR

This enables purchase of Bitcoin

3.

https://bluewallet.io/

This enables receiving the satoshis bought under 2. before onward transfer to the freelancer

There’s probably a better solution but this is fairly non-technical albeit expensive.

 If he’s close to London, then perhaps a visit to Cyphermunk House would be useful.
