Offcourse, there are number of ways and sites are available for earning Bitcoins. When i am 16 yr old, by normally searching in google... i knew about Bitcoin ( 1 Bitcoins is equals to $320, now $416.53) i wondered and searched some sites for earning bitcoin and i earned some coins, but i faced number of fake sites that offers us bitcoin for doing some works........
So friends, first analyze particular site and use it for earning......

Obviously holding coins is more than the investments at this moment as the price seems sky rocketing ! The HYIPS are never a good idea to invest ! In my opinion it is better to start trading with sites like bitfinex and yobit, also you can do micro loans too for some profits but can be risky though !
