Today I've started this little adventure, I have a few questions:
1. I've gone on the free sites to gain minute amounts of BTC, what's the best way to gain a sufficient amount, is it just mining?
2. Little debate here, obviously the BTC has grown massively, but, do you think something else could come up to match this virtual currency? Increase competition and bring the price of the BTC down?

I've opened a wallet, still haven't reached the ten thousandth decimal yet, one day! haha
