What is surprising(or not) is that you didn't mention "trading" in your poll or even "lending" or "investments". LOL does it mean you don't think people could make susbstantial profits in cryptos by trading on exchanges, investing them in ICO or in lending products? Well, it's true that we don't hear about this kind of guys very often to be honest, but I'm sure they exist somewhere.

That is a good one, I suppose investments/trading could fall under Earn them

The two possible ways to likely HODL bitcoin currently, is either you buy it or you earn it. ...

For new people yes, there have been other ways too that worked out well in the past. Of course "mining" is also earning via proof of work.

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?

Perhaps you are among the early users of Bitcoin who benefitted from faucets and the others. I doubt there are free Bitcoin now again so all Bitcoin have to be earned from work done or bought... this is how I get my Bitcoin. The service section of this forum have companies running their promotions here and they pay in Bitcoin. Apart from this, majority of my Bitcoin were bought from CEX and transferred to my private wallet.

I have tried getting bitcoin through services on the forum like the campaigns, gambling (before), faucet and buying. I haven't forgotten when I received uni from uniswap before and sold it so I can have eth to bitcoin. When I joined the forum, I didn't even earn bitcoin because before I am only joining icos that many of it are scams or a failed icos until I stop joining icos and learn more. I clearly remember when I receive bitcoin (tip) when I am gambling when I helped someone.

Unless you’re giving a service on the forum, signature campaigns, gambling and contests are the only way to earn bitcoin on the forum. So far I have not had any luck with any of the contests organized on bitcointalk. Hoping to change that soon.

I don't know how this may sound but I earn Bitcoin from Bitcoin. What I mean is by holding Bitcoin when the price increases I earn Bitcoin from holding Bitcoin as a result of it.

You are not really earning bitcoin by hodling for long term Unless you’re selling at a high and buying more bitcoins when the market dips. The value of your bitcoin hodlings may increase in USD but 1 bitcoin is 1 bitcoin, if that makes sense.

This seems interesting. So during the initial days when Bitcoins were cheap, I used to buy them from exchanges to gamble in casinos. Later on, I started accepting payments through Bitcoins for some of my freelance work. I hold majority of the coins, and when the price increased, my total holdings also increased. So yes the majority of the Bitcoins that I currently hold are from clients making me payments in Bitcoins. I also have traded some of the other alts with Bitcoins and made good profits from it.

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.

In any case to answer your question, I earn my bitcoins as I earn any other form of money I earn!

Yes faucets still exist, and while the claims appear small... they add up. Plus there are ways to maximize your earnings as well as lotteries, bonuses, referral commissions, etc.

the first I ever had was certainly doing a gig online and was paid in BTC. After when, it took a long span of time before I eventually bought some fraction that's eve less than $50. it wasn't even for the sake of HODling it at the time but just needed to send it accross to someone who wasn't near by and had to figure out how to go about it. I guess that's my first time of actually using Bitcoin to solve my needs. With signature campaign as a majir source of getting BTC from my end, I've had to buy only occasionally when the need arise but for the most part of it, my most surest source of BTC stack have been those I got from doing one or two gig.

Buying's a great start, sure, but its just the first step. Trust me; there are a lot of chances right now. The actual power move is earning Bitcoin straight-forwardly. You are building your portfolio while gaining practical knowledge. Its like hitting two birds with one stone, folks. You also belong to the gig economy, the future, the whole dispersed movement. Real development is occurring in that area.

Signature campaigns are really interesting. You may interact with the community, pick a lot of knowledge, and get rewarded in Bitcoin. I would term that a win-win-win.

Anyone else have any unique ways they've received Crypto that's not mentioned? A gift perhaps or something else?

The unique way I have earned Bitcoin in the past was by participating in an online quiz show called Captain Bitcoin. You earned the Captain Bitcoin tokens by watching videos and giving the correct answers to the videos watched. At the end of the week, there are raffle draws for all participants, to be rewarded in Bitcoin. If you are lucky enough you can win for yourself $10 worth of Bitcoin. That was how I first won for myself Bitcoin before the ATH in 2021 when Bitcoin was around $10k. Although I sold my first Bitcoin as of then because it was a free offer given, out of less knowledge of Bitcoin to soar in the future if you can hodl for long, I sold mine for a small money(sobs).

maybe some of the people here get their bitcoin from signature campaign, or buy it personally and hold it. and for me personally i prefer to buy it myself using the money that i have allocated before. even though some time ago i got paid bitcoin for signature campaign, but i don't really hold it, i use it for some of my needs, and for investment i usually buy it using money from my business.

Accepting Bitcoin as payment in a business can be another means of earning Bitcoin. People who have the intention to hold will keep payments in Bitcoin while they use fiat to support their business. That is, these businesses have budgeted funds that have been set aside to restock their businesses with sold goods while they hold every payment that comes in the form of Bitcoin.

There was a thread by a member where he gave his wife Bitcoin as a gift (Bitcoin gift to wife). So people can own Bitcoin through gifts from family and friends or even as an inheritance.

I have been on this forum for many years and have received bitcoin payments from various campaigns on this forum. And at the same time work with some clients outside the forum who pay me with Bitcoin. In this way, I get money through Bitcoin in exchange for work from different places. But I was interested in doing bitcoin mining but I didn't have a powerful computer with which I can mine bitcoins. And currently I don't mine even though I have a powerful computer because the mining rate is very low now

This is a good question because it will further open the consciousness of some people so that they can do more to get more Bitcoin. But I have to fault this poll as well, it should have the opportunity of voting for more than one option. For instance, if I am allowed to vote for more than one option, I will definitely choose at least 3 of those options. But still, the majority of my Bitcoins were bought, that was in 2022, so I am still a baby in Bitcoin investment. But certainly not a baby in its earnings because I've been trading it and using it for sending and receiving money before I decide to invest in 2022.

Usually I buy them since if we really only on the income we can get from any gigs we do online then I think acquiring lots of volume will became so slow.

Those what we gain online is just a bonus and I think I can use for other risky things which can possibly gain more bitcoin. I sometimes trade but didn't get much of this that's why majority of comes from buying then hodl it for long time.

Its interesting to read people post regarding on where they get their bitcoins since we can see multiple ways on how to earn it.

Get my Bitcoin from Signature campaign earnings, my business profit converted to Bitcoin via P2P and gambling.

But my main source of Bitcoin is from my early investment that I keep holding long term in my hardware wallet. I just occasionally trade it when the price near peak then accumulate slowly through DCA every 10K price dump.

So far this makes me profitable in Bitcoin long term.

Currently with the way Bitcoin is being cherished and increase in price lot of people earn Bitcoin through buying, trading or even involving themselves in some signature campaigns that happens to pay in BTC so those who wish to hodl would hodl and those who wish to convert to usdt can do that or even sell to their local fiat. Nowadays lot of project I mean campaign or bounty's does not really pay in Bitcoin as it was back then 2016 and 2017 or even 2019, currently apart from signature campaign most of the projects pays in their native tokens and it could be hard to hold or wait till when listed on exchange to sell and hold back bitcoin. So mostly DCA at times when the market seems not too favorable.

I, myself personally earn most of my Bitcoin from signature campaign and I earn money from real job to buy Bitcoin, that's.

Knowing there's a way to earn Bitcoin for free which is signature campaign, is really a blessing for me because it improve my financial and at the same time I learn about Bitcoin. So, I got two things from this forum, while I learn about Bitcoin, I get paid for it, there's no better than that.

There are other ways, some people get Bitcoin from scamming, lending and trade P2P with higher rates.
