Neither bought nor mined. I only got my first bitcoins from faucets because that was the only way I knew of getting bitcoins, I got my first coins back in late 2013 when it was about to reach life time high of $1200 a coin. Also I had some faucets with 10 satoshi payout per day  Shocked

Same here i first get it on faucets bevause at that time i tought that i can only earn bitcoin through mining but my pc is not capable og doing so i search for other method and thats the time that i learned faucet

Where is my ring of blades...
I did some trading in 2014 (I think it was) when the price was high at 400-500 ish and made some profit but I was investing a very small amount of money back then because I was a newbie and I had no idea about anything so I was gathering experience so to speak.

but my main investment was last year when the price wen down to $220 and it was almost stable at that range. I bought as much as I could with the money that I could spare to invest  and continued holding and also did more trades in the meanwhile an I am ahead so far.

I get bitcoin the first time in 2014. I got it for free at the giveaway event. The current rates are at the bitcoin price 400 USD.
I am happy when getting bitcoin for the first time.

Well, I actually never mine or buy my own Bitcoin because I always earn it online. But I want to try to do a Bitcoin mining, I know it requires a lot of money to start it from now, but if I do have enough money then I will do it and I would probably just keep my mined Bitcoin in 1 wallet that I won't spend it at all.


Same goes with me, I never bought bitcoins as at that time I was not having enough money to invest in it, so I started to earn it and mining is an costly affair to me so never tried it.

When I first entered bitcoin world at that time bitcoin price was 22000 INR but when I actually bought bitcoin It's almost double. It was 41000 INR. So damn unlucky guy I am. If I had bought in first time then i could have another 20k in my pocket which would be enough to buy a superphone.

I bought my first bitcoin for $500 just this year.Actually the actual price is around $450+ but the site is selling it for $500 so I just bought it because I really wanted to have bitcoin so that I can invest it in a site which promises high return only to find out that it disappear after a few months in which I was able to get back only about half of my investment. I use the amount I got back for trading and slowly getting back the amount that I lost. I am not aware yet before of the scam going on that's why I immediately joined without any doubt and then later learned my lesson.

I get my first bitcoin after the bubble in 2014, though the price of bitcoin is declining, it is still a higher that what it is now.  I got bitcoin when it was around 850 usd - 900 usd.   Then it started to decline down to sub 300 at 2015, though i can say i might be at a loss when i sold my bitcoin but the trading of altcoin saves me  and even got a profit from my initial capital.

I bought 3 @ $12 each, and when the price rose to $70, I sold whatever I had left.

Then I started mining with the Jalepenos. Good times.

During my early days of knowing bitcoin, the price was at $200. Honestly, I didn't buy bitcoin with fiat that time and earn it rather. I did earn through PTC sites, claim on faucets (well, that time faucet earnings were higher than today) and earn from referrals too. After a couple of months, what I did was withdrew half of my coins and kept the other half on my wallet. I never withdraw my earnings again since then and just keep it until now (I don't have big amount though).

I remember, someone paid for me on a gambling site where I actually won so I got my first BTC from his money. Since he didn't want a share from the reward, he said "It's your prize, keep it!" and so I just had my first BTC.

I joined bitcoin world only on May of 2016 so I'm here only few months. That time bitcoin costed something like 400 and something dollars. Today it is a bit higher, but I expect bitcoin will grow more. And then I will cash out all my savings Grin

Earned at the +$200 level...and hodl, hodl, hodl!

Definitely ahead of the game. I love the poll, great idea. Having 100 BTC is a crazy idea, and I know there are so many with 100s or 1000s. Good luck to you all that do!

Late 2014, bought my first bitcoin around $200. Bitcoin was easy to make then, spent most of my time in trading.

By 2015 I joined this forum, started gambling and earning in campaigns.

I have long since sold and bought at higher prices. Highest sell for me was around $1000, Highest buy at $450-$550 range.

An estimate shows I'm still ahead. I don't buy much except on the early days but have sold/used more. (wins/earnings put together)

I'm still crying coz I missed the $20 or less bitcoin price, If I was a year earlier I'd have made a lot more for sure, too bad I was overseas. sigh
