Faucet will take your time and in return you won't earn much. Faucets are waste of time.
You won't be able to use collected money to "play it on exchange"  for next year because amount will be too small(you will be able but it will be waste of time too).
No, you won't, you won't earn even 50K satoshi per day, and you will find solving captchas for peanuts is not really "doing nothing".

You can join signature campaigns in order for you to earn bitcoin. You can do it anytime and anywhere, all you need is internet ad time. Trading is also an option but you need to earn first to start trading. Profit in trading depends on the deal, also if the deal is assured , and the assurance of the profit that you'll gain from it. You can also do freelancing, web developing and designing. Find an online job that'll suit your skills and expectations.

BTC You want to earn bitcoin there is an lots of genuine ways.In these way definately earn bitcoin.there is an lot of trade and company who accept btc.

I usually teach people about bitcoin without any payment, I just ask them to use refflink from my account that I use in exchanges market so that their deposit will give a percentage of profit to my account, the more that follow then I will get passive income which is never exhausted. No need to follow hyip/ponzi and even just need experience in teaching them.

since I am just starting in this field and finding a work for my need and do not have to invest, I prefer to rank up before joining any signature campaign because higher the rank higher salary you have.

I find investment in ico projects risky and I trade altcoins to earn bitcoin. This is the best way to earn bitcoins because the market is very nice place to make money. The price moves very frequently for altcoins.

Bittrex is a good place to start trading, you can also try poloniex too.

invest is very profitable than the faucet, the faucet is very drained energy and very small payment.

I am not like the faucet because I was once deceived by the faucet, It's really painful and annoying.

Indeed. This is where I started also, though I was also doing faucet way back then but I realize that I'm just wasting my time on it, that is why I'm only focusing on the Signature Campaign right now, and to the social media bounties just like what you have mentioned. Signature Campaigns that pays weekly is a good start, but Altcoin Signature Campaign is still the best one for me, the distribution of token might take some time but it is worth to wait.

And after you earned bitcoin and keep earning on bitcoin, you could start this investment by holding it on your wallet to have profits in the long run or do anything where you could get something in return.
