3) If you want to get your hands on as many bitcoins as you can you should...

Not visit faucets, not look for giveaways, not beg, not mine, but...

Get a regular job, don't buy unnecessary shit and save in bitcoins. Sorry, but the "easy solutions" lead nowhere like always in life. Register on an exchange and buy BTC for fiat. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

I can certainly support that one. I've been playing with bitcoins since when they were 10$ each, and the only time i got anything worth mentioning from faucets was the time i reported a serious bug found in one of them.

Faucets only exist because it's obvious anyone can afford giving away a tenth of a cent without thinking too much, even if they don't get five to ten times as much via advertising.

You want to get paid? Go and do something useful for others. That's how the economy works, after all.
