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?

When I first learned about Bitcoin, I wasn't aware of this forum. Someone introduced me to it in early 2021, and I bought about $100 worth of BTC. Although it was a small amount, BTC had a significant price drop that year, which almost made me lose hope in investing more on it. However, I trusted what I had read about its past market trends and held on longer.

After some research, I discovered this forum on YouTube and was surprised to learn that the real founders of BTC created BitcoinTalk. I decided to register and was even more surprised to find that membership was free. I've been a member for a year now, and BitcoinTalk has become my main source of earning BTC. I hold onto my signature campaign rewards and buy the bears when I have extra cash.

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

I first got into Bitcoin through those free faucets and earning sites too. They let you get your feet wet without having to risk much money. I made some extra scratch with freelancing and online odd jobs as well. But if I'm being real, most of my Bitcoin has come from trading and investments. Yeah it's riskier, but the potential profits make it worthwhile and

there's also people whove gotten lucky and had Bitcoin gifted to them by family or friends. That's always a nice surprise! I've even given some Bitcoin as gifts myself to buddies who wanted to learn about it. It's a cool way to get them set up with their first fraction of a coin.

On the majorly through the campaign signature and gambling. Occasionally I get few gigs where they client is willing to pay in Bitcoin. I never knew the faucet era until I signed up on the forum. I didn't even meet the earning sites era. 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.

I think when it comes to this forum, the major way through 70% of people here get there Bitcoin is by earning (i.e through Signature campaign), while 20% people here get there Bitcoin here by gambling and the remaining 10% get there's through Bitcoin Mining. So those are the major ways through which people on this forum get there. However, when it comes to people off this forum, I think majority get there through buying from a p2p marketplace.

That's a good assessment I think. At least for nowadays. In the beginning it was probably skewed more towards mining.

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

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

This is not quite true. Here we can add another way to get bitcoin - to receive it as an inheritance. Bitcoin has already existed for more than fifteen years and at the time of the emergence of this cryptocurrency, people who were carried away by this technology were quite mature (techies) and by now, many already have quite mature children ready to start getting acquainted with this type of assets.

Also, the reason for the emergence of bitcoin inheritances can be illnesses and early death of bitcoiners (many early users left the forum). Remember Hal Finney and o_e_l_e_o.

For natural reasons, the number of people who receive bitcoin in this way will increase over time.

We can also consider illegal ways of obtaining bitcoin, such as theft, robbery, fraud, etc. So it turns out that there are slightly more than two ways to get bitcoin that you are talking about.

The two possible ways to likely HODL bitcoin currently, is either you buy it or you earn it. As for the buying, it's quite simple since all you need to do is just swap some fiat for an equivalent amount of bitcoin. On the other hand some people render services like freelancing and other gig like you mentioned and depending on their agreement with the client , some get paid in crypto currency which includes bitcoin.

The only one I really don't think it would be easy to HODL is selling goods for bitcoin. This is because the seller is would likely have to restock sooner and that won't be long term holding except the profit of course is nice enough to HODL.

Your profile says you recently woke up. Well welcome back to the forum
