I didn't start with faucets. I bought my first Bitcoins in very early 2013. I have for fun tested some faucets in 2014 to try to get as much as possible for my efforts. It was a waste of time. Nearly 2 days of fully trying to get as many satoshi's as possible, just made me $0.28!!

The weird thing is that most people consider it a waste of time, but still these faucets attract huge loads of visitors every day.
