Fill Your Barrel with Bitcoins!

I don't understand why earning and employment are different options, as if you're employed, you get coins by earning them. Still, interesting to see buyers and earners at the same level in terms of votes so far. I thought buying would be a clear winner, but that's not the case.
Some are also not actively obtaining BTC but holding from a long time ago, when they earned/bought/mined/won/used faucets.

Employment would be an actual job at a Company that pays you salary in Crypto.

Earning is more like Faucets, Pay-to-click, Gigs, signature campaigns, trading, micro-earning type sites, etc.

I'm interested in how most forum members receive their Bitcoins. We have got most of ours over the years with faucets, earning sites and also payments for various gigs.

What about you?

Most have said they have bought with a very very small percentage being the miners which doesn’t surprise me. I really like these new auction style sites that let you bid for Bitcoin but one thing that isn’t displayed on here I didn’t think was P2P item for bitcoin exchange or vice versa

I got my bitcoin through investment. And I think my first purchase was the first of January 2023. And I was like wow! "I have finally gotten bitcoin" and since then I have been investing on bitcoin and accumulating more. But we all know that many forum users only rely on signature campaigns.

I'm already confused by all the ways I get Bitcoins to my wallet. It all started with a bounty, here on the forum. We shared links on Facebook, Twitter. We saved up stakes and then they exchanged them for campaign tokens. I remember that the campaign signature was not always for Bitcoins, more often for tokens, which we immediately sold for Bitcoin. I also received Bitcoins for participating in contests and giveaways. And now this is mainly the signature campaigns.

There are so many ways people on the forum here do get their bitcoin and one of it is through payments from signature campaigns and bounty, some times you could participate in a contest here on the forum and you get rewarded in bitcoin and some persons can gift you bitcoin, while you can further earn bitcoin doing other jobs outside the forum.

My first ever bitcoin was a gift from a friend who was really eager to see me grow in the world of crypto. Maybe "gift" option should have been added to the poll because people can actually give and receive bitcoins as gifts. I bought my next bitcoins through an exchange after I became convinced that I was in the right place. The bitcoins bought then appreciated, leaving me with something really reasonable. Aside receiving bitcoin as a gift and buying some too, I also earn bitcoins from working for some freelancing companies who pay in bitcoins. This is how I receive bitcoins, I believe many other people receive bitcoins this way too.

There are many ways to get bitcoins without buying from exchanges. I usually participate in different bounty campaigns from where i get USDT, Altcoins (Tokens) and sometimes bitcoin. Faucets just waste your time the amount you get from faucets is very little. Nowadays mostly people buy bitcoins, only few people earning or paid in bitcoins in this forum.

Yeah, most likely in the beginning, majority might have earn their first BTC thru signature campaigns. And then they ventured into trading and gambling and evolved into buying then becoming a HODLer.

I think in the early times signature campaigns were still less or not well known and I think faucet sites were more popular than them. It can be because we were receiving a generous amount of coins, as their value was still low. It is like it was giving us an illusion.

Another good thing about the faucet before, is that payments on them are made straight to our desired crypto wallets. It was only sad that things have changed through the years and many faucet sites have now closed down. Signature campaigns on the other hand, are now the ones which are booming. I guess this is because cryptos are now popular, so a lot of start-up projects in this field are also opening up and they see a potential in signature campaigns to promote their brands.

Really? Do they even exist anymore? How much satoshis are we talking about here? I'm curious because from the day I started (back in 2014) and price was like $400, when I tried faucets the only conclusion was that they are a waste of time. All I've made is something like 50k satoshis at best.

I was also once surprised that there are faucets; moreover, they pay. But yes, they still exist.

Another question is that some want a few cents for regularly entering Captcha. I guess I'm too picky, and many want to get at least a little from Bitcoin, but doing faucets in our time is simply wasting not only time but also eyesight if you listen to the advice of doctors about the harm of sitting in front of monitors for a long time. Now it is not a problem to buy bitcoin than to do faucets. Is it so hard to deprive yourself of 3–5 bucks a week (although I think you won't even get that amount) than to regularly poke the captcha? However, if you check the recent boom in tapping phones, then for some this is no longer a problem.

Around 2019, when I started my crypto journey, the first bitcoin I had was bought from an exchange. Fast forward to 2022, when I started on this forum, and then I started earning free bitcoin from the signature campaign in which I participated. Later that year, I also started to accept Bitcoin payments in my furniture shop.

So, the bitcoin I am holding in my custody has come from three different sources: first, it was bought; second, it was earned through signatures; and third, it came from payments I receive from customers. It is not so easy to earn free bitcoin this time around, unlike in the past, when it was very easy to earn a lot of bitcoin from a faucet and just participate in a small task on the internet.

From my total holdings, a major percentage was bought from my monthly salary.

There is no more easy way to have bitcoin except buying them, earn them for some task, or even get paid through bitcoin. perhaps I have eared bitcoin through signature campaign, I have also bought bitcoin and I have also got paid through bitcoin for a freelancing job... although not all are left in bitcoin just some because I usually exchange some for cash to facilitate my daily life while the once I hold till date are most from my school monthly/weekly allowance because it took me alot to get them so I don't sell till I see a good price in bitcoin.

Apart from this few mentioned above it's literally had to see people who have bitcoin through any other means outside the above mentioned and I think people who where early in bitcoin are more favour to have earn BTC through some simple tasks.

The first Bitcoin I acquired was between 2014 and 2015, through faucets; I managed to earn a decent amount in terms of Bitcoin. Nowadays, most of my Bitcoin is derived from signature campaigns, gambling, and some I have left since 2015 from the faucets I mentioned earlier. I'm not actively purchasing Bitcoin, even though I could have set up a budgeting plan, but I preferred not to mess with my monthly salary since I'm already earning some through signature campaigns.

I believe most forum members have similar stories and are dependent on campaigns and gambling.

I got most of my bitcoins (through earnings) by working on signature campaigns on this forum. Also I took some extra money from family and invested it by buying p2p bitcoins. But I haven't been able to invest bitcoins with any money I made from gambling until now. Because the amount of money I have taken in the gambling section has been spent by losing and cashing out so I have not been able to buy bitcoins from the gambling platform so far which is why I will never reveal it.

Buying Bitcoin and holding is what I'm doing, I'm using the DCA strategy and I'm very much comfortable with it, I will be consistent and then keeping holding for a very long time in other to be able to accumulate enough Bitcoin, if I don't hold for a very long time I can't accumulate enough using the DCA strategy.

When I first entered the cryptocurrencies landscape back in 2017, I used to buy Bitcoin from exchanges such as Binance and Kucoin. for few months I also joined a cloud mining firm who paying me Bitcoin as reward of my contract, however soon I realized that their rewards are minimal, so I stopped buying cloud mining contract after that.

For the last several years I have been participating in Bountry campaign on Bitcointalk form where bounty manager usually make payment in Bitcoin.

It started with faucets, then i tried to mine bitcoin, but thought that i was not getting enough, even though compared to current prices it would be considered plenty.
So i moved to mining altcoins and tried to convert them to bitcoin, as btc is was the main pair for every altcoin, and sometimes that was worth it. Most of the time not.

If i had just kept my wins in btc and not tried to trade it, i would have done way better then with any trading and be a millionaire now, i don't want even to do the math on how much was it. But that's how it goes, no need to dwell in the past.

Later on i found the possibility to do bounties, and some of legit ones paid in btc.

Many people find their bitcoin holding address by using many tricks, many people buy bitcoins with money and some people accumulate their money by freelancing. And he should have a plan to sustain this money or bitcoins for a long time.
Holding is usually maximum in Bitcoin which is a unique case but the possibility of loss is high, but in Bitcoin it is possible to have some guarantee of maximum leverage and benefit.

I personally get bitcoins by buying them, because I only got to know bitcoins a few years ago, so I don't really understand about faucets or anything related to getting bitcoins (not through purchasing). Maybe when I found out about the existence of bitcoin, at that time (2022) it seemed like bitcoin could no longer be obtained through faucets. So the only way to get it is to buy it directly. However, after I entered this forum, and tried to discuss positive things related to bitcoin or other things in this forum, I was able to move up in rank and was able to take part in the signature campaign. From here I can also get bitcoin every week until now. So in addition to continuing to do DCA using the cash I have, I also earn weekly income from signature campaigns. Maybe people who can get bitcoins through faucets can be said to be very lucky people. Because they can own bitcoin with only a cellphone or computer and an internet network. But even so, I am still proud of my current achievements. Because basically people who know and invest in bitcoin are extraordinary people, in essence I am proud to be part of the bitcoin investors.

As for the faucets, no I wasn't able to join as this kind of methods to earn could only been on some old members as I remember that there were faucets in the early years that gives 5 BTC by Gavin Andresen.
