hi. what ia sa faucet or a wallet? are they the same? can i have more than one of them or bought? what do i need for entering into BITCOIN world?

A faucet pays you few satoshis as a reward for you to solve some captchas and this varies with different websites.

Whereas a wallet is completely different, it is same as your personal locker where you store and save and keep your money, the wallet contains your private key as well and they store and save your bitcoins, there are number of wallets to choose from according to which it is more convenient for you to use https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Faucets sucks..they just hold ur satosis and let you wait for a predermined value as threshold and in the mean time they run off bits..they eventually scam you..

There are hundreds of faucets out there. Some are valuable the time you spend, some are not.
Many of them are already empty.
I recommend to use a faucet rotater like http://www.btcfaucetlist.net/rotator.php to start.

faucet is a site pay your very very less bitcoin and show the ads, it is a something waste your time, you will spend lots of time but can't even cover the mini fee of transaction

Faucet is a good start for someone who new on bitcoin. WHen I'm new on bitcoin, and I received my first faucet, I was very happy.
So it keep attract me to stick on bitcoin till now....

Coinbase and Circle I believe are more based on US.  You will want to find one for your region.  I'm sure someone will post a good on for Europe.

But most likely you will need to use a checking account to link to the exchange. Yes they will know who you are.   

There are some options such as localbitcoin's for those that for some reason don't want to be known, but it has higher fee's and risks.

There are many of them.

If you want USD for your BTC then use somewhere like Coinbase or Circle if you're in the US.

Thousands of merchants take it for payment from one man bands to Microsoft. Check coinmap.org to see if there's anywhere local to you.

Thank you for telling me of coinmap.org. As far it is looking trusted. Thanks again.[/size][/b][/color]

In general, you are wrong. There are several great faucet sites[1] which have pretty low withdrawal thereshold. I haven't heard of any faucet running off though. True that they pay pretty low but they are a great way for newbies to learn about how Bitcoin functions without investing or posting on the forum.

[1] freebitco.in is my favourite.
