My friend introduced me to the world of Bitcoin, so when I knew about it I was so excited earn much. She bragged about earning 1BTC in a month and 1 week, so I was like saying to myself if she could do it then so could I. So I claimed on faucets she referred me but weeks had gone; then a month had passed I was still not close to that 1BTC so she earned. So I decided to do a research on bitcoin and registered here at bitcointalk and read a lot about bitcoins and altcoins. Then decided to do trading and profited rather than those claim faucets which took so long.
Actually if you are just a newbie it is best for you to start in faucets I think she introduce to you faucets because it is easy to earn a little amount of bitcoin there, and I think that is natural for us seniors to do that, but you can not earn much with faucets these days, It is good that you have research here in the forum for more information and have encountered trading, but my opinion is for you to join on signature campaigns first if there are still available position for you because campaigns have much higher payment than faucets was, I think you need to save up as much bitcoin when doing trading!
Faucets are worthless because they just have a small rates in payments and they can't help you to earn at least a money to buy a food for everyday. Faucet sites are just part of the history of bitcoin and if you do faucets then you already wasting your time.
Based on his rank, a newbie will not get enough rate too just like in faucet, i think it is better to rank his account first or deposit his real money and buy bitcoin and use it as a capital in doing trades or investment to grow his money fast rather than waiting and wasting his time in faucets or low rate signature campaigns.
