Topic: How I Started getting BTC while poor (Read 1674 times)
When I first heard about Bitcoin I had no idea what it is. With little background in computer science most of it was over my head for a long time. I was very interested though I felt like it could turn into something big! My situation at the time limited my options. I had just recently got divorced and was having legal troubles and generally broke. So I did what most people do, I hit the faucets! After a few months of spending almost all my free time I had enough to deposit into an exchange and start trading! I of course decided on the ill fated cryptsy 😂! After many hours of hitting all types of faucets and making micro trades I was able to build my account to around $50 from a mere $.26. I than discovered Poloinex and migrated most of the major coins there. Shortly after cryptsy was hacked and I lost everything that was on there. I'm still going strong on Poloinex and have slowly been building my BTC as my situation has allowed. In short I hope this inspires anyone to pursue this if they are interested! Don't let anything stand in your way! All it takes is some time and willing to learn new things.
its a good short story bro, and i really appreciated and i pray the best for your life. and now you has start your new life. my advice is don't give up, there is still a second change for us to change, all we have to do is continue what we do, don't give up.
this story will be on my mind and i can take some lesson from this, and its really give inspired to me and i hope i can stay for what i wants to reach my dream and continue my life.
After many hours of hitting all types of faucets and making micro trades I was able to build my account to around $50 from a mere $.26.
I did a test before and i made a couple cents in 1 month worth of BTC with faucets..And i also had referrers with it too.
$50 ? uhhh fuck no.. i call bullshit on that.
Lets see if he will prove it LOL
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't think he's saying he made the whole $50 from faucets, I've highlighted the part where he talks about "micro trades". It's extremely hard but not impossible to turn 26c into $50 through trading.
I totally understand the attitude of people on here, there are so many fake/alt accounts and scammers around that we've reached a point where a lot of people scream scam/fake as soon as a newbie posts something they feel isn't right. That's understandable. However we need to keep in mind that not all newbies are scammers. Imagine if you're a genuine Bitcoin newbie, you come here and get called a liar on your first post. We could end up scaring away genuine newbies from the forum.

How much time did you spend on faucets to make $50? I'm not too inspired yet.
How many sites that were advertised on those faucet sites did you go to? How many advertised products did you actually purchase? Do you even remember ONE advertiser?
I feel that faucet sites are merely a mechanism for laundering money stolen from advertisers. The new faucet business model is shady and while I would like to see bitcoin being utilized by more people, I personally hope your post doesn't inspire anyone to pursue income from faucets.

I also don't buy this noob accounts bs here.
He says when he heard of Bitcoin ? What 5 minutes ago when he regged his account here ?
@OP
Bitcoin is money.. so if you want money then get a job.
Bitcoin is alternative money.
What is happening is a transfer from FIAT to another currency.. BTC
So you will need FIAT to go and get BTC most likely.
This is why banks are resistant to the process.. they are losing ground to BTC and want to hinder it.
Me ?
Well unlike retard greedy kidiot profiteers that took money from their bank accounts..
i started with 0 cents invested and turned it into 12 grand in cash and spent it.
Faucets and coin giveaways etc were a key part of my process.. back in 2013.
I took what ever coin "dust" i could get and put it on Cryptsy and traded coins for profit.
I learned to trade and got better at it and made thousands.. with NOTHING invested.
I also supplemented all that with some mining on a Core 2 Duo CPU E7500 and a GPU Nvidia 550
I refused to take real money from my bank account to play with shitcoins.
I also have little respect for people that do.
What i did was the proper way and the harder way.
I had to make mistakes and learn from them.
But because i started out small most of my mistakes wee not a big loss and i rebounded quickly.
I learned when others taking money out of their bank account will not.. until later.
See the higher risk level of ding it that way ?
if you join a signature campaign you can really start earning bitcoin without any investment.
just work a bit
and then buy btc from your sallary
it will be your started to the crypto world

That's pretty awesome man, an inspiring story indeed 
Not sure people will be able to replicate your mindset but that you were able to do it at least proves that it is possible.
You did receive a little helping hand from fate though, if you hadn't move some of your coins to Polo, you would've likely lost everything. Anyways wish you continued success with your trading!

I'm not poor but I'm not rich either. I'm just between them, and Bitcoin signature campaigns are a great opportunity for me at least. I can earn dozens of bucks a month which is great as a saving option.
Wrong impression is not created against faucets,it seems to be profitable to certain extent to the beginners but when they gain knowledge about digital currency as well bitcoin earning through faucets seems to be a waste of time, because the earning is not that good for the time spend upon faucets. So as few quoted trying for a day job is better.
It all depends on what country your in, here at my place, the current daily minimum wage is $6.35 per day, for 8-5 job. so getting extra daily $$ from faucets daily is a good addition on top of the daily wage.
I agree with your reply, everything depends on which place or country you are living, in the poor country where the fiat conversion of bitcoin is high where even daily 2$ earning is also very good by doing side work on bitcoin apart from daily job is much more enough.
I started the same way with faucets and was happy that time till i came to know about this forum and its uses and now i am earning much more then my daily job pay.

those 50$ must've taken a lot of time on faucets... I;d suggest you to stay out of faucets and not to invest into anything if you can't cover that loss in case of hacking, ponzi,etc.. I'd suggest you to rank up you account here and join a signature campaign. Also, you can head over to the marketplace>service section and check out the offers or you can offer your services if you've got to offer any in the first place.
it is easy to say when you have a starting capital or some skills,or even if your are just a native english speaker
when you are as poor as a mice (or OP) and have to start from scratch,faucets could be a viable start
BUT only if one has a clear plan what to do next,for example: I make 2$ from faucets,buy 1 month of shared hosting,create an affiliate marketing website with links,promote it using free methods such as this forum =profit
or any other scheme for that matter,what I like about OP post,he had a plan and enough patience to follow through
well done him and good luck

For the most part faucets are a beginner's step to get yourself going.
In all honesty you take that money and put it somewhere to then wait for it to grow.
I wouldn't advise doing faucets forever, but as you said it's better to put it to work. As you claim from faucets there will be newer BTC opportunities over time resulting in a fresh way to get even more.

it was supposed to be an inspirational story and you guys spoiling it with your faucet good or bad discussions
the main idea is- do not sit on your hands,even if the odds are against you and you are poor
so happened that OP used bitcoins to get started,he earned 50$ starting from 0.26$,well done you
no sarcasm meant
there are some countries where 50$ is a relatively big sum of money,give man a break

$50 from faucet alone is a big achievement, considering the amount of time needed to reach that amount. 2 years back, when i was starting learning about bitcoins, also started doing some faucets spends 10-12 hours claiming, and promoting different faucets. and getting around 500,000 Sats per day from referral comm alone from many faucets. but now less people are doing faucets because some people are creating a false impression that faucets are not profitable anymore

Op, I can't figure you out. Do you realize the amount of time you wasted sucking faucets and trading with peanuts? Instead you could just find a job.
Even the most useless job will bring you much more than faucet level of income, then - if you are really keen of cryptocurrency trading you could do it more efficiently.
Do your math and stop wasting time. Also I heard that Bitfinex will be returning stolen money to its customers in the future. You still might receive your coins back.

1: He said he worked THREE jobs, your advice: "faucetz is dumb, should have FOUND a job" WHEN did he have the time between his other THREE jobs?
2: WHEN did he EVER say anything about Bitfnex?

edit: I misread that you lose your money in Bitfinex hack but it was actually Cryptsy. So I guess you won't see your money ever again...
Plus, your jobs must had been pretty much a disaster since you still preferred to earn bitcoin via faucets.
