Bitcoin Forum

It took me around 100 days to make my first 1 btc but after that every thing got fast. So how long did it take you to make the first btc? and I would like to know how did you get those. I got mine mostly by selling services and small faucets :)

Edit: Buying doesn't count, So now that's out of the way the results would be interesting to see.

I have never bought a single BTC in my life, when i first found out about the bitcoin network it was pretty hard but after i managed to collect 1 BTC i turned it into 46 BTC the same day.

Wow! That's real nice, were those converted to 46 btc by gambling? Or any method u like to share And Same I have never bought a single btc for my self all earned :)

i sent the fiatmoney to the exchange and it was done. maybe 2-3 days.


 ;)

I got mine by selling a lot of Digital goods and doing services like CS:GO boosting here or on other forums . It took me more then 180 days though but it worth it now I'am making more and planning to hold them ;D

Mine , it took me almost 50 days to earn btc via working and gambling

If you buy from exchangers, it takes only a few minutes.

We are talking about earning here, not buying I think you misread it :), We know that we can buy bitcoins almost instantly from exchanges but this thread is not about that, We are talking about how long did it take you to make your first btc without buying.

I bought my first bitcoin and I think people should do the same. One bitcoin is not a lot of money when you save some money every month. Bitcoin need us and new users buying it to grow.

This is the best and easiest way if you really want to get involved. Just take the sour pill and spend some money to get it instead of wasting ages..

it depend, it took me 2 months for my first bitcoin, but my record was in few seconds with instamine, i still remember it... pandacoin was the shit back then  ;D

It took me 5 days until I didn't learn how to buy it from localbitcoins, my SEPA didn't clear etc..
So I didn't earn it, I bought it! :)

I needed about 6 months to make my first 1 BTC but I had different strategies to achieve that.
I didn't invest my own money here but find a way how to earn this bitcoin slowly, over time, mostly through signature campaigns.
I hope that this 1 BTC now will be worth a lot more later :)

Today it's obvious you can't make 1 btc easily, but if the question is retroactive, aka in the old days, it took me under a minute to
get 5 btc from bitcoin faucet. Now if only we could turn back time..

cheers

When it came to earning BTC it would have taken me a month around the back-end of 2013 to earn 1 BTC. That would have been through a forum signature campaign.

Which when you consider back then Bitcoin was at a high, it was a really generous offering.

When I Was First to Bitcoins it Took me around 120 Days to get 1 BTC. But Now i am Earning 1 BTC in a Month By Providing Social Exchange Services to My Clients and also Web-designing Services to My Clients. Maybe After 3 Months My Bitcoin Earnings will be increased to 1.5 BTC Soon Expecting Bitcoins But Here I Afraid About the Prices Getting Down of Bitcoins.

I think when I started out it took me 6 to 9 months to get my first full BTC... Now it's very different, although there is still one similarity: the fiat to buy Bitcoin isn't really abundant :D

My first BTC I'm earned in May 2011 on Radeon 5850 card. It took about one day.

Ten minutes. I just bought the mofo.

I'm not exactly sure about this. I remember that I've sold 1 BTC to test it out after about 5 months of involvement. However, I had some more so I can't be certain.
I'm going to say anywhere between 2 and 5 months. I'm pretty sure that a few member can remember (and have participated in) the Inputs.io signature campaign as well.

Actually when I joined, I used a Radeon 6770 and mined 0.1 within a week. The times were different, and getting to know Bitcoin took time and experimentation.


OP said that buying doesn't count in this case.

Haven't earned 1btc yet myself :( hopefully I will sometime this year though, been earning lots of fractions however which is great, even though being a millionaire with 1BTC would mean hyperinflation, if you can earn 1btc a day you're going to be very well off.

It was for about 30 minutes. That was the time to bought my first three bitcoins at virwox. It was my first time there and needed some time to understand all the process (and it was a little difficult to buy bitcoin at virwox because must be bought linden dollars first and then bitcoin with those).

If you join a campaign, you can earn 0.1 to 0.2 btc one month, then you may need 5 to 10 month to earn 1 btc.

Did you even read the post that you have quoted?
He clearly stated that buying doesn't count. People really need to stop spamming on the forum and start reading.

The signature campaign will eventually help you get there. Just be patient and do not spend any of those valuable coins. Keep in mind that there will only ever be 21M of them.  :)
I doubt that anyone will ever become a millionaire with 1 or 10 BTC (unless everything is backed by Bitcoin, which is improbable).

That's incorrect. Some participants from Bit-X such as Amph earn much more than that. So the time could be reduced to 2-3 months.

There's no poll for >180days. I collect bitcoin only from signature campaign, maybe i need >1year to collect 1 BTC. It's a long time, but i think it's fun to collect bitcoin ;D

i have started earning bitcoin the same way as everyone else and from faucets, and then switched to earning from signature campaigns. so it took me somewhere around the same 100 days to make 1 bitcoin.

It took me around 10-50 days to earn my first bitcoin. I started with altcoin trading, then ICO investing. I also did some freelance work to earn some bitcoin but I managed to earn a little bit more than 1 btc.

What is the difference between providing a service, getting paid in fiat and buying bitcoin with that fiat and providing a service and getting paid in bitcoin?

Bit short sighted to exclude buying bitcoin..

Yeah it's crazy how things have changed. 5 BTC from a faucet today would be like digging gold out of the ground which is not lying deeper than 1 meter.

The main thing I want to see here is after how much time do people start to sell out services for btc, So on average it takes 100 days(so far) for a person to make 1 btc by providing services etc. What bitcoin is lacking is this, That is why I did not include the buying because buying is not like accepting the bitcoins for something.

the price fluctuation maybe, if we are facing a very strong swings play between manipulators, the pric can fluctuate a lot and by the time you buy your bitcoin with fiat, there is the possibility of a small-medium loss

When I started mining, with my rig, it took about 30 days. Then I got one of those Avalon puppies (giant metal oceanliner anchor nowadays) and was cranking out 2 BTC a day for about a month. Life was good.

It took me around 1 entire year after trading, some gambling, some alt mining.. good ol hustling. Take into account tho that back then BTC was 700 per coin so it was harder to get some satoshis. Thank god that now it's cheaper so you can make 1 BTC in less time, good times to be a pioneer.

Well I spent around 4 months to make 1 btc from most of sig campaign and gambling. It took long time, but yeah atleast I have made it  :)  Maybe I have to learn other ways like trading or make any service to get much more.

I am in a similar position, my main source of bitcoins is signature campaign income. I gamble just for peanuts so I earn very little from it.
It take me couple months to earn 1 BTC but it is fine as I treat it like a hobby and wait for bitcoin to be more known and widely used.
Maybe I will buy some bitcoin before halving next year to sell it later as price goes up, who knows :)

It shouldn't be that difficult to earn 1bitcoin in a month for you as a Legendary member. I don't think many people will earn 1bitcoin a day though unless they run a bitcoin business or are miners.

If you mean through signature campaign, it takes time. It doesn't pay that much, and you need to spend way too much time, to the point a normal job it's better, you could put some of the money in Bitcoin. Also, Legendary members here are underpaid, they get the same rates as Hero even tho Legendary it's much harder to reach, sometimes the same Sr Members.

For me, it's around 100-100 if I could do the best on Signature Campaign.
Especially for Hero Member, they'll just need around 70 days. [CMIIW]

I need 50-100days im beginner from faucetr + giveaway
i see more giveraway come at 2014, stellar, fiber , pelecoin and more

Back around the early stages of bitcoin, I got mine when a friend sent it on my wallet. I don't know what to do with it though. I still believe in other payment processors like liberty reserve then. Until it got to the stage where it hit $1000 and that's where I realize I made the biggest mistake of dumping those coins.

As I'm a new member, so it will take around a year to get one Bitcoin.
But I think of investing my weekly signature campaign income in trading so as to get 1btc really quick.

Hope that comes out to be lucky to me.

I wish that fortune favors you on that particular day when you trade with the bitcoins and wish it would be your day as risk is involved when it comes to trading on bitcoins.

As for me it took exactly 100 days to earn my 1 BTC and that was through the signature campaigns, I haven't been into trading as I love to play safe and keeping safe my coins but surely one day I would trade with a small amount of bitcoin.

Ha ha I wish I knew about Bitcoin then. This is honestly my biggest regret! 5 BTCs from the faucet!! Man, this sounds unreal! :)

it took me a month, i bought a certain amount of bitcoin each week and still doing so. will continue it as long as the price allows it.

Still in progress to make my first bitcoin i have just few mBtc so it will take much long to reach this destiny. :o

the first one took over a month to make this but after this i got many bitcoin through trading via altcoins and convert all my money into this real crypto currency.

It is a nice bonus you get for doing your regular posts. I don't see it as a job and I don't try to maximize my posts because of it. It does pay quite well, between 10-20 euro a week for doing what you already did ;)

it took me around 150 days for earning my first btc because i only earn btc from faucet and signature campaign

really you made 1 BTC with Gambling ? lucky you

dit did not took much for me i was new to bitcoins i wanted to play with it i had a domain i miss that domain still i sold that for 0.70 BTC and after few days i had 1 BTC so untill 1 BTC everything was quick but i still have not got to manage 2 BTC at a time

yup, I know that trading isn't safe.
That's why I will just be trading in btc/usd market cuz the value fluctuates on a daily basis and there is a good amount of money to be earned from it.

I am mining for 1 month and still haven't earned 1 BTC  ;D

Do you mean you took 100 days to get 1 btc? I think its short time for full member  :D

How do you get your btc then? I'm just curious, since you dont have any signature campaign and your rank is member  :)

what service you are selling for btc?

What year was this?  Was it just a matter of solving a captcha to receive 5 bitcoin, similar to faucets these days giving a few hundred satoshi?

before i know how to earn btc from signature campaign i only use a faucet to earn btc and it took me around 1 year to make 1 btc

never until now.
still to try. i dont know why i cant get btc. still o,ooooo BTC in my own wallet. what else...
i still to try to mould the bitcoin.

it took me nearly a year to do it, as i did not scam any people to sending me free money or doing something like that, also i dont have it in my wallet right now as i made 1 bitcoin all in all

sometimes a few hours, when I bet heavy on some tennis players, but that happened rarely cause I only bet lots of btc in Grand Slam.

Mostly a few days, I can earn money from translation service and signature campaign so I can make 1 btc in a few days or months.

If salary is included, my salary can buy 7 bitcoins per month. It means that in a few days I can make 1 btc.

it did not take me too long as i bought it so it was nearly instant, also i dont do gambling and faucets so i dont earn too much and i never earned bitcoins by working or something like that

1-10 Days

if you start from 0 like me for example it take lot of time ( at least in my case ), you know, playing with faucets are SOOOOO slow.

After you get some satoshis you can start playing with more ways to increased your bitcoins and the time needed is low ( if you play well ofc ), but for the first time it take to me lot of months to make the first BTC.

It took me 60 days(2 months) to earn a full Bitcoin. it's difficult to make a full Bitcoin now in 2 months!!

I thought it would take me like 6 months at max..but looking back to my bitcoin wallet and the current balance in it. It seems it might take forever. ??? ??? >:( :-\ :'( :'(

Different people have different time span. It takes me usually one week or two.

It took me almost half a year... because I wasn't buying any, so I was stuck with faucets, and with signature campaigns, which is a very slow process to reach 1 BTC this way. Then when I got a job I started buying BTC monthly, this way is quicker, but you get to enjoy less part of your salary, so pick your poison.

I still remember when i finally reached 1 bitcoin..
It was in the year 2013..I spent countless hours earning here and there on different sites and looking for little work..I also betted on sports..my main earning came from sports betting and i took my 6.5 months to reach that 1 bitcoin..i know its long time but it was my first time when i reached 1 bitcoin ;D

It took me about 60 days to make my first 1 BTC by participating in signature campaign,faucet also played little part to add some there and by selling some free coins which I received from free distribution that time.

Took me 1 month to make my first BTC.

I mined it.

I decided this was too slow and the ROI was negligible so took on trading with a much larger capital base.

Lost 25 btc in the first year, then made it back and more the second year.

I think that maybe it took me less than a year.
At that time i haven't heard about bitcoin and i started to earn from faucets.
Until i learned about new altcoins and trading them for bitcoins for almost a year.

Earning 1 BTC within 60 days through signature campaign seems impressive. Could you tells us the rates you were being paid ?

When I first started BTC back in 2010 I have 50+ BTC at all times, and then I lost my wallets because I'm an idiot.
These days,  I just began messing around with BTC again and I have been around for about 2-weeks.. Just about to hit the 1BTC Mark.
So we'll call it 3 weeks from scratch with no fiat investment.

I use a faucet and purse.io

I have made over .2, with .18 in my wallet/investments/bets.


I suppose Purse.io is sort of buying, as you are just converting amazon to BTC, but meh

I host giveaways, and I hope if I can do enough, I may get some revenue help from nice people so I can continue to do these things for the community :)

I have hosted one today, @https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1200457.0 , I have given out .03 in total, and that was .009 :)
Doing another one later @ 7 PM EST :)
check in the gambling section, then games + rounds sub :)

I hope to get donators to help me out someday.
I think it is nice to do.

so yeah, Purse.io and faucet for the moment :)

anyone else a purse.io fan?

 Could you tell us how exactly  you used purse.io in order to earn bitcoin ?

You use amazon giftcards and your prime accounts, you purchase people's wish list, and you receive BTC after their package arrives.

They get discounts, so you do this for 290/300$ per BTC, a bit expensive for you, but it means you don't have to use your credit/bank :)

got a ref link if you want :) pm me

With current rate of my income per week, I guess that I can make 1BTC in about 1 year. Not a short period because my income is passive income. I don't play gambling so it's a bit hard for me to earn 1BTC only from signature campaign, also I don't have much time to open this forum because I'm a student right now.

unfortunately I never got into mining, and at this point I would just lose money. I may try just to experience it

I don't have 1 BTC in my wallet as of this moment and I don't think that will happen since every time someone deposits coins to my wallet, I either spend it or convert to fiat but total money received from selling, trading and signature campaigns is already 1.3BTC and I did it for more than 180 days.  

if its taking you 6months-a year to make under $300.. then you need a new job

as of now I dont have 1 btc but  I challenge may self to earn 1 btc until January next yr using 1 account and faucet if I can earn 1 btc ;D

You have 88 days until January 1, 2016 to reach your goal of 1BTC
That means every month you need to earn at least 0.35BTC
You can reach your goal and your goal is doable  ;)

far easier to get a temping job for just 1 week and buy bitcoin. then there is no need to spend hours per night raiding faucets

In the beginning it is very difficult, because you make some Bitcoin and then there are so many services and sites you want to try, and you give out just as much as you receive. I invested some of my first BTC into banner advertisement and spread my referral code with these banners. My passive income from gambling and faucet referrals at one stage averaged about 0.6 BTC per month, but it came down considerably.

It's nice when you dealing with new sites and loads of people click on your banner, but it quickly dry up. The quickest I have accumulated 1 BTC was with 3 gambling referrals and 6 faucets = 1 month 11 days. {You just get lucky, if you bag a whale gambler}

Yes I still have 88days I try may best to earn that hopefully I can reach it, but if not I cant extend to February ;D

0.35BTC a month is doable, divide that in 4 weeks that's 0.0875BTC a week.
Don't stick to signature campaign and faucets, you can also try trading to add more income to you and you'll have a Merry Christmas by December  :)

It took me at least around 40 days to complete my fisrt btc, its all thanks to
Gambling im a bit lucky when it comes to gambling spacially dice games.
But right now im having trouble completing my 3rd btc.

The first Bitcoin I made from online activities was fairly quickly, but I have to say the price per Bitcoin was much lower than what it is today. I sold some spare digital goods to someone at a bargain price, and

everything grew from there. The forum income was even slower than that, but I saw that as a added bonus to pay for my coffee. I also messed around with Ponzi schemes, because I knew how they worked and

quickly received some more BTC. {Those was eventually given to charity, because it was part of some research I was doing on the subject for myself}

I get My first 1BTC when my account has reached the rank of senior members and I made from the signature campaign around 2-3 months

Sad to say I dont have knowledge in trading. So its difficult to me  if I trade with out knowledge it can lost may btc.

1 week. When I bought my first bitcoin, the price was almost at the highest which is almost equivalent to my 1 week salary! Sigh...

The poll does not have an option for "a few hours (back in the day)". I remember clearly that my first $99 video card made around 3 BTC a day when I first started pool mining, which meant that it took approximately 8 hours for the first BTC. That pool was deepbit.net, which has gone defunct a long time ago. Over the next few weeks I bought more $99 cards and pointed them at BTC Mine, BTC Guild and Slush. All the pools were using the proportional payment method back then, and people were just learning to game the system using pool-hopping strategies. I also remember that those $99 Sapphire HD5830 cards quickly sold out on Newegg after somebody mentioned about them on this forum and people found out that they were as cost-effective as the already sold out HD5870 or HD5970 cards. I only managed to snag 8 of those cards :P.

The first time when I get 1BTC of giveaway stellar and I get it for 3-4 days. I supposed be able to get faster in one day :-\

if I was excited I would get 1 BTC for 40 days. Most of the trading results.

There is already a signature campaign that has no maximum or minimum limit.
It is bit-x which has 0.0012BTC for hero and 0.001BTC for senior.
1BTC/60days = 0.0167BTC daily = If you are hero it means that you should post around 14posts daily and you can reach 1BTC for 2months.

I bought my first 2 bitcoins from virwox but I had those two days after. Because they, when you are new registered make controls and hold all the bitcoins you buy in hold for or until two days. Exactly after two days from the moment I bought those, the bitcoins was sent from them in my bitcoin wallet.

I guess mine took only a month with offering computer related services. A client of mine introduced me to bitcoins and started paying me with bitcoins. From then on, I continued using BTC as a payment and as an investment .

wow 1 week ???
reaallllyyyy ? can you share your way to make 1bitcoin at 1week :)
are you buy at exchanger ?  :D

10-50 Days

If buying doesn't count then yes it took me a few months to get 1 BTC from "earning".  Buying should count though i think, in which case i bought as soon as i could.

About 15 minutes.

https://i.imgur.com/8IeoA.jpg

Depends how you get them and the quantity you start with.

I would have voted for 'A couple of minutes' option, only if the (back in old days) wasn't included. So in earning, it took me almost a month to gain one bitcoin, mostly from signature campaigns and services I provided to others. Nowadays, I think it only takes me two weeks to gain a full bitcoin, only to be kept in a stash which keeps on growing and growing.



Lol at those GPUs. How long have they been in operation? Have you sold all of them or are they still kicking by mining other altcoins?

I don't remember the exact time how long I earned my first BTC but I guess it was approximately 2-3 months with working & raping faucets ;D , joining giveaways and earning referral commissions from various bitcoin services. I think it was quite fast cuz I was a beginner that time ;D

It was fast, you are a real expert in that field, because I was doing almost same things and earned only 0.1 in 2-3 months. :)

But I was only working faucets then, I still don't know how to rape them.  :)

Signature campaign is the best way to make BTC.

But, no, I have never earned 1 btc, but I hope to some day in the future!

I started on the 1st July 2013. The first time I had 1 full Bitcoin in my wallet was yesterday, the 5th October 2015. I'm not the fastest.

No I'm not an expert ;D as I said I was just a beginner that time. Maybe it was fast cuz there once a newly launched local bitcoin service that offers 0.004 BTC for every user that will sign up under your referral link and I made roughly 0.6 BTC with it ;D And that's a good startup for me.

If you were active all the time for full more than 2 years than it is a bit slow.


Depends on what time did you mine, because now it is hard to earn 1BTC within 15 minutes.
I think that it is more worthy to buy miners (S7) with all these money invested in GPUs.

I was mostly, though for a long time it was all just dust. That might explain some of it.

GPU mining was very feasible sometime from 2010 up to late 2012. Since the beginning of ASICs, GPUs have been pretty much a waste when it comes to mining bitcoins. But still after you profit from it, you can still insta mine other altcoins and dump for bitcoins or sell those cards after. :)

It took really to much time to earn 1BTC for more than 2 years (27 months).
But by your rank now you can reach that amount much sooner joining signature campaign and even with avatar campaigns.
Btw has your signature been ended? i checked in the overview of all signature campaigns and it is removed.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1119780.msg12609894#msg12609894

It took me about 3 months. And I was blessed as I got into a high yield investment that turned out to produce more than 1 BTC investing about 0.40 ... the 0.40 was earned through faucet, selling amazon gift cards, and publishing ads on my blog.

i think it took me like a half of year mainly because i used to gamble a lot a few years ago now i earn bitcoins much more faster when i avoid playing games

Dude that is awesome :)

Wish I could get into having a blog/advertising.

Can I see what your blog is about?

I made two today, I bought 2BTC on btc-e.  ;D

dude that fast with out to much effort  :D but for us it takes weeks or month to have 1btc using signature campaign and faucet.

Wow. Great contribution to bitcoin community. Hold them tight.
I guess you will keep them for some big price hike. My recommendation would be holding it for years. Then you will feel prod of buying a bitcoin.
Follow and the best available and suitable measurements to secure your bitcoins in cold storage and strong encryption password.

Buying and using bitcoin is a contribution to bitcoin community?
I do it for myself. what is the benefit to other bitcoiners?

I joined this forum in early 2011 as user CornedBeefHash. I started mining a little before that, around the time of the Slashdot and Galker articles. My miners, mostly HD5970s, were on 24/7 for a little over two years. Those little dual Cypress puppies made me almost 2200 btc before I stopped mining. A lot of what I made was by using reaper to mine litecoin on those cards shortly after litecoin was released and trading it for btc. At one point my garage was a mining farm. Not as big as gigavps had back then but not far off either.

Two days.

took a little less than a year, but i didn't buy any of it, earned all through selling stuff online.  :D. i think it'll be much faster for the next btc now

1-10 Days

Ah, allright, so don't know either how to rape the faucets?  :) Because I thought it has something to do with hacking them or something like that.  :)

But you did well with those referral links, Grats!

I think when I reached my first btc milestone it was like minutes that I got it. After waiting for so long to earn some decent amount providing services, I thought I would just buy it and it's done. Never regretted though although I could just wait and watch my earning grow, but still it would be faster if I just pay money to get it.

Around a week.

Nah its not that I mean, its also not a form of hacking or whatsoever. Its kinda abusing the faucet by opening it on TOR browser multiple times, it does work before but right now its not working anymore on most of the faucets.

Not really. If I did well on it, I guess should have made 1 btc in no time ;D Thanks anyway

If I won't be greedy and play like 5-10 mins a day I think I can make it in less than 10 days with 3M-5M satoshi investment. That's the only playing time that I set coz' playing prolong will end you up busted. So yeah I can do it in primedice i think.

I can assure you that you think wrong. If you are convinced that you will be able to win that amount gambling only 5-10 minutes in a day in less than 10 days I'm convinced that you won't be able to won 1 bitcoin with gambling using much, much more satoshi, playing much, much more time in a day, and then playing much, much more days than your 10 days.

Don't try. You will lose all your money. And never will have your desired bitcoin.

Well today If I will answered this I don't know. My saved coins are I think in 40% of becoming a whole bitcoin.

Spend time in doing btc earning method as of today : 4 months

With signature campaigns it can take some time(weeks -months) depending on how much you write, how much you earn and what your position is.
Working and using fiat money to convert a portion into Bitcoin can be done really fast(hours-weeks).Of course here it depends on your salary and how much you're willing to put into Bitcoin.

Kinda a bad idea man cuz you really need a lot of luck to make 1 BTC with gambling. You may just end up losing if you pursue that goal. But who am I to stop you? It's your life and you can do anything you want as you wish ;D Still you should be careful on gambling, I'll just wish you the best of luck to your journey ;)

Much better man and that's a wise move. I also do that, waiting for gambling sites giveaways, promotions or bonuses then play with it and try to multiply it as high as possible but I don't hope for 1 btc ;D It's kinda impossible for me with the small bonuses that they wil give. Still it's possible to some or maybe to you. I'm contented and enough to make a 0.001 btc bonus into 0.01 btc :D

LOL. You thought that I am wrong then why I manage to turn my 3M satoshi into .5btc in only 8 days playing 5-10mins a day. I have my own method. I'm not just posting anything. That's base on my experience last week. And i didnt use my fiat to buy bitcoin. All bitcoins that i have now comes from sig campaign.

Lol dude. Don't be too confident with your "method" in gambling on primedice. There are no guarantees on gambling even with strategies, methods or whatsoever ( except exploiting of course). Yes your goal is not impossible but remember house always wins and you may end up losing what you can't afford to lose. One day you'll see and you'll probably eat your words ;)

Lol dude. I know that house always win thats why that is only my playing time. Continous playing will end you up losing. Playing time is part of my method. I won't eat my words.

Whatever. Remember its still gambling and you're really sticking to your method despite of the warnings you've received anyway it's your life ;D Just a good luck to you :P

Well if his strategy* makes him make an easy 1BTC for less than a month then good to him :). Congrats then kabayan. You can become a millionaire in less than a year. Keep it up. Bragging rights here in these forum are welcome anyways and no rules about that. :P Hope you can always repeat your winning strategy.

i took 50 - 70 days to make 1 bitcoins , its need long time cause im still a newbie , though im working really hard  :D

Working on good signature campaigns (like mine below in my signature) and having a good rank (like mine or even one under mine) can be earned not few bitcoins. Important is to be professional: what means to make good posts (constructive and qualitative) and to not to spam. I hope to have about or more than 1 bitcoin in a month (if everything go well) and this is not an indifferent amount.

1-10 days for 1 BTC is something between 30 and 3 BTC. Much more that can be earned with signature programs and other common ways of earning BTC.

Do you have a hidden BTC business that has big variation in income depending of the season, or something

I got my first bitcoin after 1 day because i bought this for altcoin trading and that time i was lucky so much pump happened last year and i got nice profit so i have more bitcoins.

It was much hard for me to understand about this revolutionary crypto currency and how to use it in the beginning so that i got my first coin after 2 months from a gambling from expecting big won.

I do not own that magical 1 full BTC. May achieve that milestone very soon.

I'm also curious to know how to you turn 1 BTC into 46 BTC in one day.  That's pretty insane.  Gotta be some form of gambling or leveraged trading.

He probably means he turned it into 46 testnet Bitcoins  :D Can't think of anything that will give him that much return on just 1 Bitcoin.

According to my calculation, it'll take 27.75 months/2.3 years for me.
Even if I do so with earnest, it'll still take more than 1 year.

My first btc took like half year, the others 30 minutes. And then like altcoin exchanges and all...

i only do faucetting, it may take years though.
can u send me links to your signature campaigne sites?

Even it is possible to make 1BTC a year by relying only through faucets, it will takes much of your time and effort. For the meantime, I don't like to suggest you to join a signature campaign for now. Used your time for a while to take a time to explore in this forum. When you reached Junior Member or should I say, Member rank, you may join some decent campaign now.

Here is the overview of all signature campaign : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

I took 6 months to earn 1 BTC. I did not invest in any website nor gamble the money and whatever I earned was from signature campaigns and completing few tasks which paid me in bitcoins as well as by selling my gift cards for bitcoins. I am quite happy with my earnings and wish to make my next BTC in less than 3 months by completing more tasks in bitcoins.

Bought through ATM. Less than a day.

well the fastest way for me to get to 1BTC was in fact buying it.
but i have tried all other ways to make bitcoin too. at first like many other bitcoin users i have started gathering bitcoin from faucets but all i have gathered was less than 0.01BTC all in all. then i started with signature campaigns and also trading altcoins.
and i think it took me nearly 2-3 months to gather 1 whole bitcoin which was around $500 by that time but it is so much faster now.

first time i know about bitcoin and how to earn it is only from a faucet site and it took me around 100-180 Days to make my first 1 btc

i still don't have a btc, i'm looking to collect it. Where i live bitcoin is not so mainstream, for the moment i have only few satoshis

It took me a lot longer, about 1 year to make my first, maybe a little less.  I did mine by using faucets, gambling(even some HYIP) I have made about 6 BTC so far.  But I have also lost a lot on HYIP(pbmining), which I didn't know was HYIP at the time.  Anyway its been a fun ride.

with your question you can add also people that use btc for their work?
for example I do a job you pay me with btc...Or I sell something to you and you pay btc...
In this case it's much different in time... Because "free btc" need time and risk... signature are bucks...
or it's like a work....

around 3 months

I make 1 btc in 2  month.I make this amount only on Internet.
I use signature campaign,faucets and different promotion to make 1 BTC.
With a job you can make 3-4 btc month or more.

can you please explain us a while how you make 1 Btc in this period ?
I think with rank Full member it's not possible to make this amount in just 2 months, so you used faucets as noticed, but it's micro earnings as known, what's the type of "different promotion" you make ?
That's have to be interesting.

I am calling total BS.  No way you are earning 1BTC in 2 months from a signature campaign.  No campaigns pay out .5BTC per month at the moment.  What other promotions are you trying to use to earn that, I'll say you can make about .3 from Signature campaign in 2 months, maybe a little more, so how are you earning the other .6 coins?

Most of the people I know, use my giveaways to get a bit of coin every few days or so :)

I post giveaways, for free, to give back to the community.
In total, I have given away .05 BTC.

List of winners, leaderboard placers and games!

Also used for people to give feedback/ideas :)

I do this for free, but I am always happy if I can get some BTC donations so I can do these giveaways easier :)

So far, I have gotten no such donations, so it has all been out of pocket.

This isn't a scam, as it involves no risk for you, and it is fun, answering trivia/questions about your views, in exchange for a little bit of mBTC if you can place it :)

I have screenshots, and happy customers, so if you are interested in participating, just make sure to watch for more giveaways!

More info is on the link above.

donations are appreciated!
any questions you don't have answered on the link, ask there or pm me!

happy to answer!
molotov!

It took me about 50 days to make 1 Bitcoin from different things like signature campaign,participation in free coins distributions and from some giveaway to play, no deposit bonus where I won by gambling, which was from some gamble site.I was not easy to do but I successfully did like others.

i dont have that much i own only 0.02 bitcoins

Tell me where it is cheaper to buy 1 BTC and how can I earn?

I heard, in 2013, PrimeDice campaign used to pay 1 BTC per user per week.

Well, in his case it would be total BS.. but in my case and other people's cases with a Hero member account, that is totally true.  I know with MagicalDice I get .5 btc per month. Technically .48 btc, but with the avatar I get the extra .02 every month...

That is, if you meet the required 100 qualified, "non spam" posts per week.  I think there are maybe 1 or 2 other campaigns that pay out this well, but I know MagicalDice is one of the bests.

i exchange my first 0.5 btc from perfect money start of year...investing in some hyip on mmg and mmgpru i have made some good money.
if you have knowledge you can make good money from your skills!

The only skill you need there is to spot scam sites. Most HYIPs are scams, if they are not you can definitely make money, but 99% of them is so your need to filter out that factor above anything else.

Might earn 1-2 btc from them sure.

In this moment 1 bitcoin has as value 243.9 us dollar. You can follow in real time the price of bitcoin in some currencies here: http://preev.com/btc/usd (http://preev.com/btc/usd).

As for the earnings needed faith. It is the hope that bitcoin will arrive an high price in the future. Theoretically this can happen with high probability. But probability is not a science. For this I wrote above that needed faith to earn. If you will have faith you may earn. But with only one bitcoin maybe there is not meaning to speak for big profits in medium or short term. In long term maybe.

Only one thing can be told for sure about it. From bitcoin can be expected everything.

2200BTC within 2 yearsr seems a very good profit.
I wonder know are you still mining with any advanced mining rigs.
It took me almost a year to have my first bitcoin in my wallet.

began with mining wayback, managed to get some with the help of my graphics card

About 10 days

took me around 3 months, i didn't buy any btc though. earnt all of it online. now i have around 2btc and its going up  8)

The mining of Bitcoin didn't make all my profit. I was a semi-early adopter so it was still pretty easy to pool mine Bitcoin. I got really lucky that I listened to a few people about litecoin. I was a litecoin early adopter and was lucky enough to trade a shit ton of ltc for btc when ltc was above $20. I stopped mining when video cards were no longer profitable. I also didn't want to burn out any more cards before I could sell them all.

i never got 1 bitcoin on 1 week or one mounth  ???
on my wallet also never have transcation amount in 1 BTC

Unfortunatley I don't have 1BTC at the moment. Im on my 1 month now in my current signature campaign and my progress I think to make 1BTC is 40%. Still finding some good opportunity in making Bitcoin.

it is somewhat hard for me to say how long it took me to reach 1BTC because I am not sure if I even have 1BTC right now. I have to gather up all my dusts in different addresses to add and see how much I own :D

the reason for that is I usually spend my coins or invest them in altcoins or they are sitting in my exchangers.

Well in my case I think I make my first 1BTC in 5 months after joining here in this forum last February this year. Quiet long but not bad for bitcoin beginner like me that time. I achieved that by doing some signature campaign, gambling, affiliate programs and some giveaway and promotions.

1-10 Days   

I never try to have 1btc in just 1month.
Maybe after 3months.

I mined my first coin and at the time it took a little over a month..

Good for you! I know, it would take a lot of time and effort doing campaigns for low ranked members... plus adding up giveaways and promotions might be worth a couple 100K satoshi, but I would assume that couldn't be much.  But that's interesting you made a good profit from gambling, what kind of gambler are you? 

Also, doesn't it make you want to try to earn more and more every day?... you know.. "gotta catch 'em all"? ;)

If me i can take 10 week,
but the main questions is by the way how you can get 1 btc with that much time ?

Made 1 BTC in 60 Days with advertising from a couple of websites. Gamble from time to time, but have never dipped less than 1 BTC.

I'm still trying to get my first 1 BTC. I've bought my humble amount at $230, I expect to reach 1 BTC by next year unless the price drops a lot (hopefully not) then I'll seize the opportunity and get the rest cheap.

it took me around 8-9 months to make 1 BTC ... i never bought BTC for investment or growing purpose ...i went through Bitcoin casinos went up and made my strategies and slowly and gradually made up 1 BTC playing on bitcoin casinos

humm.. I'm still trying to get my First BTC since this year jan only from sig campaigns. ;D and i never bought or tried to buy bitcoins ;)

To get your dream one full bitcoin, please do not expect the price fall to enter into. All the prices are good price to buy and you can get a better average price if you get a chance to buy again at a lower price which seems impossible with current trend. So, act fast and get your first 1 full bitcoin. You can convert your effort also to a one BTC but beside buying is good for bitcoin system.

Really? You haven't earned 1 BTC yet with sig campaigns starting from january? Well I think you can easily reach that now since you are on the best sig campaign (not biased, it's really the best so far) ;) You'll just need to put more time and effort, good luck to your 1 BTC journey man!

Approximately 1 month, I programmed the part of the game for the Android phone, and they paid me with BTC.

One month is very much shortest period compared to many people here. I still do not have one full bitcoin. But now a days I can make some decent amount of posts here to make some bitcoins towards my race of one complete bitcoin in my wallet. I eagerly awaiting to see that magical number in my bitcoin wallet.

One sure thing is my 3m satoshis came from faucet :D I think 20% came from promotions. One example is the flutterclub second promotion. I hit a decent amount there in their slot. 30% Gambling thru sports betting in our local basketball league,NBA and WNBA + first deposit bonus.

Around 50% in signature campaign. There was a campaign back then that accepting newbie rank other than 777 campaign that's why I have a quite an average amount there every week which is gambled in sports betting. Then I transferred to Coinomat campaign after hitting FM rank. That campaign really pays me well a decent amount. :)

I really long when getting 1 BTC, so just imagine I used to just play the faucet. I probably get 1BTC about 100-200 days.
but after I know this forum and join the signature campaign I can get 1btc faster :)

It doesn't really take too long to make 200 USD. It does take time to make millions though.

Mined my first 1 BTC on a AMD HD6950 back in the summer of 2011 =P
Took bout 1 day.

I wasnt sure if BTC was gonna make it half a decade since then ... we're almost there =)

Man I wish I had been around in the space already at this time.
Cheap coins and Bitcoin almost not known except some nerds, software geeks and anarchists.

Ha! I hear ya, I wish I heard of it before its first bubble in 2011 =/, they were fractions of a penny and u could cpu mine thousands of them easily =(

I started when the bubble just took off.  It took me roughly about 3 months to get 1 BTC without purchasing anything.  Not the fastest method but I am still trying to find new ways to earn coins everyday.

I think it must have took me 50-100 days to make 1 BTC and I had to buy it to reach there, when I started my Bitcoin journey, I struggled a lot with faucets, work, gambling etc. but was not able to make a whole Bitcoin but then the price dropped and I had some money and buying it seemed the easiest way and since then I have bought more than 5 and it's easier to earn fiat and buy from it rather than trying to earn it directly unless ofcourse you own a website or you're a developer etc.

you used the artfroz first miner for gpu? i've heard he was holding quite a big % of the network, he must have built a nice pile of coins

Can you please share with us your methods to earn 1 BTC in 3months without purchasing anything ?
This sounds great and interesting

Maybe he's investing to HYIP.

Yes. I'm also very much keen on learning any possible new methods to make most of bitcoin in shorter periods. But many people are experts in different programming skills and easiy making good amount of bitcoins from their technical projects.

It has taken me all most about 150 days to earn a full bitcoin. I really wish I would have learn about bitcoin sooner. I would be so further down the rabbit hole. Do I still have it no. Only because everything I have earned I have put back into earning more.

I started out with faucets and signature camps, and bought my first s1. and with that I  mined and fauceted till I was able get my first s3. Which now has turned into 3 s3's 1 s1 and soon to be a Bitcrane 110T. I still faucet and even made out playing in some HYIP's but so far I am up to about .05 per day as long as my pool hits a block.

So not to bad only starting out with faucets and not spending a penny of my own money, I gotta say.

i vote from the most vote. 50-100 days  ;D

He said he didn't purchased anything, probably there's no investment involved on that method :D I'm also curious to know how he had managed to make 1 BTC for 3 months ( though I already know a way how make 1 btc in even less than 3 months).

I like gambling, have had some success making more BTC.

A long time.

That's the real situations for any non technical people to crack one full bitcoin. One bitcoin now costs almost $280+ So wit would be a half month salary as per my country wages. But we can not find a full time opportunities to make $280 in bitcoin within a short period of time.

well that's average time , especially people who gaining btc from signature campaign,but i wonder there's another way to easily earn bitcoin except signature campaign?

its more than 100 days and still i'm not having my first bitcoin.

I think i have to stop betting in online casinos and start some trading.

Well I didn't got my first bitcoin too in my first 100 days upon entering bitcoin world.

And yes you must to stop to do gamble if your not feel lucky on it. Trading is nice too but have a research before doing that. Trading can lead to loss of coins too if not properly organized.

Don't think of it, just stop from gambling if you feel you are just losing cuz that won't help reach your goal to get 1 BTC. Yes you can earn an instant 1 BTC on gambling but it needs a massive luck and a decent amount of bankroll. If you are really eager to earn 1 BTC, don't depend it on your luck, work for it ;)

Both casino and trading may give you some profits some days and losses some days. It's too hard to make yourself in the profit side after all. So, believe in slow and steady. Make bitcoin in the ways where you at least not loosing your bitcoins but only time. Convert your time into bitcoin.

You should, as it is one way of indulging you to bet more and risk more in hopes of winning big. It's better to go on and do some work for a steady income rather than expecting that you will hit it big. Trading, I don't think so without the proper knowledge. You might end up losing all rather than gaining some without the knowledge in trading.
