After the faucet...
So you've had some coins dripped into your wallets... now what?
Do you simply stare at it and wait for the coins themselves to be more valuable? Well, I guess so... it has worked for some people and does require literally zero effort. But why not make some simple decisions and see if you can turn your tiny pie of coins into a slightly larger pile of coins.
Bear in mind, this is now investing... and investments always carry risk. I implore you to always do your own research before any investment, and especially do NOT take my word for things, I am NOT a professional in any capacity.
What I am, however, is persistent, adventuresome and an excellent reader.
That being said I present you with this: BTCPOP.

This site is a fantastic example of people banding together to fix something and make it awesome.
The old owner was... how we say... a bit of a scam artist I believe. For the record, I don't know exactly what happened but I know it was bad and the descriptions all come across as... well... scammy. Regardless he is gone now.
Then a former user stepped up and purchased the site and turned everything around. Now the site is bustling with a news feed full of new signups and P2P loans and bonds being funded. Lively and intelligent chatbox discussions and a dedicated group of "Poppers" who are ever vigilant against scammers and delinquents.
There are stocks to trade, loans to fund and a huge list of altcoins to trade. There are even investment and savings accounts for each member to park their bitcoin in if there are no other tasty investments. Don't have enough satoshi to invest? Well, take out a loan against the shares you've bought already or verify your identity and present your needs to the community.
IPOs are still rather infrequent but have been very interesting to participate in. The options are endless honestly and as long as your intentions are genuine, you will make money. Go there to scam and you will likely fail and be called out publicly.
All in all, a fantastic addition to the Bitcoin landscape.
