Cool robot!!It can profit? No offense to the developers, but I really don't feel comfortable to buy the bots when there is only 1 review from a newbie account.

I would recommend that you use a client that doesn't need blockchain. Much easier and no disadvantage.
Bitcoin Core does have some advantages. The most important one IMO is the easy-to-use coin control feature introduced in 0.9.0. Yes I concede there are some disadvantages but to the majority of users, particularly if they are asking these kinds of questions it tends to be easy to use an spv client. That's true. Different wallet clients have different advantages and disadvantages (or no one would use it and the project would be long dead ) IMO, SPV like Electrum is pretty user-friendly (easy backup of the seed, no need to store the whole blockchain, etc) and is a great choice for all newbies.

Buy and hold bitcoins.
Can you tell me how you make bitcoins if you buy and hold them? If you hold 1 BTC for ten yers it is still 1 BTClol, buy btc using your local currency, and if the price of btc goes up, sell it Yeah, that how you make $ but OP asked how to make BTC then i should add "then you cay buy more bitcoin with the money" before "buy btc using your local currency, and if the price of btc goes up, sell it" You meant "after" right? You won't be able to buy more bitcoin, as the btc price goes up already when you get the $ profit. It will be a different case if there is leverage though.

You can try https://cex.io. If you don't have any funds you can try to invite some friends and persuade them to invest in, then you'll get some "free" hash power It is not a good idea to buy hashrate on cex as the hashrate is very pricey and the maintenance fee is terrible.

Read this. Just out of reference - faucets are actually bad if you reuse the address with large inputs later on. If you don't have coin control in your client (only Qt has it) then you won't be able to specify which inputs are going into your transaction meaning that in all likelihood you may be choosing those dust inputs. The problem here is that dust inputs take up space without really adding to the value of the tx so you may have a crap ton of dust inputs meaning you get a nonstandard transaction that either requires a larger fee (usually more than all your dust combined) or you take a long time to get confirmations as some miners don't accept non standard txs.
If you are determined to use a faucet then I would advise you have a single address with the sole purpose of getting faucet payments - that way you can combine them all into a single output if you get enough to be usable without compromising the other coins in your wallet. You may use a deposit address on exchange or casino to collect the faucet payments, and send the bitcoin to your personal wallet whenever the balance reaches 0.01 or any amount you consider significant. But still, it is better to simply ignore those faucets.

The bootstrap.dat file seems pretty up-to-date. I mean, not a lot of blocks missing.
IIRC, the file will be updated everytime we get a new version in bitcoin qt.
