Well as a newbie I was almost given up in the search on how to get a bitcoin, initially when I started I was really disappointed by the small amount of satoshis I was getting from faucets but with determination I was able to get this site which enlighten me more on how to get Bitcoins.
I think not easily discouraged is the key.. a few years ago I also found it difficult to get a lot of bitcoin but I continued to work hard and learn so that at least I could get some mbtc per day
Getting bitcoin is definitely not for earning only because if all of us are earing there will not people that will be spending which would not be realistic IMO. In general people will not get bitcoin because they feel it's not simple to learn, without a reputable person that will explain to them, they will not believe on it and if they will not believe they will not use it.
Our chance is to see the recognition of the government, the ETF application which was recently disapprove is suppose to be a good thing to increase awareness of the people if it was approved, but unfortunately seems like it's not the right time yet.
