It's not the fastest way, it's not the most effective way, and it's not the most fun way.
But faucets exist cause people use them, and at least getting a tiny bit of "free"
(captcha-filling in required) bitcoins was what got me hooked on this. I'm not investing
real money into this, and while faucets might only give you a few hundredths of a dollar
per day bitcoins will (hopefully,most likely) grow in price a lot this coming year, and
those fractions will in the end become -some- money.
