It is difficult to get into but you have to be willing to buy Bitcoins rather than getting them for free. Spend a little each month and you can get a nice balance going.

Which country do you live in and what problems do you have buying Bitcoins?

EDITED: Sorry, just realized his username has USA in it. Should be easy for him to buy BTC.

There is no such thing as free money. You could buy bitcoins or mine for it. Don't expect to fall from the sky (especially since it's virtual money :))

Not really, all it takes is about $126

or sell something for $126 on bitmit or coingig :D

You can of course always buy the equivalent of €20 in bitcoins, no matter the current rate.

Well, at the mean income of about a Dollar per hour in Pakistan that's about 3 weeks of work.

Mmmm.. he's gone...  ::)

I am near to reach and you need to be white hairs very strange   ;D ;D

For anyone struggling to get into the Bitcoin world. Then think how would you make money in fiat? It's the same principle as Bitcoin. You are highly unlikely to receive any donations as this is the real world and people in Bitcoin are trying to earn as much as they can.

Most people tend to offer a certain service or sell a few things they own for Bitcoin. There are places which hire people for Bitcoin. However, if you have a job which pays in fiat you can always buy Bitcoin with fiat at a exchange. It all depends on the circumstances in which you live in of course. Some countries pay less than others etc.


If you are totally new to Bitcoin and don't understand the concept then you should take a look at the official website & this thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7269.0

thanks useful link and too much information about this

Dont bother with faucets just buy 1 BTC :D

Just noticed he has a dodgy trust rating (OP).

It is a useful link. There is a lot of information, for good and bad reasons. But, it's always useful to find out something which you are unsure about.


Basically, by doing legit business and not spamming the forum with useless posts. There is some information on how the trust system works in the "Meta" sub-forum. Search the forum on how to gain good reputation. There's a few threads which has many people discussing different ways. But, the best way is to be polite and genuinely be a nice person to deal with. Also, contributing to the forums can also help you gain trust within the community. A lot of people leave trust when someone has helped them.

:D That's the problem if nicks are written without spaces (or internal capitalization).
His name is Usama Khalid (Usama and Osama are two transliterations of the same arabic name).
It is still possible that he resides in the USA, but he might as well be in a middle east country where getting bitcoins is much more difficult.

As in real life, it is tough to get trust back. So do not scam in first place if you dont want to have negative trust rating

I agree, it's very hard to get your trust back. But, this guy hasn't scammed as of yet. He has only spammed the forums with his website. Which is not great but at least he hasn't scammed anyone that we know of. R3wt the user actually scammed and paid back everyone and publicly admitted and was accepted back into the community by certain members. But, I'm always cautious whoever I deal with so trust rating just indicates too me they have the capability of scamming. Doesn't mean I ignore or avoid them. Sometimes they are looking to get their reputation back.

Excuse my ignorance but in what way do you trade with other members on the forums? Are you selling currency to each other? I don't think I would do that without a proper service with escrow system in place.

Well, when dealing with anything I always advise a escrow. Escrow is definitely needed no matter the circumstances. There are a number of ways to trade on the forums. You can offer a service, sell goods, get into the domain selling business or you can sell/buy Bitcoin for fiat money via bank transfers etc.

But remember try to steer clear of Paypal as it has huge risks. I personally sell things on Bitmit & offer services here and there.

Turns out he is just a nob who edited his posting to do advertisements. Will watch that trust rating in future.

It doesn't look good for the op. He obviously hasn't read any of the forums rules or peoples warnings. I'm assuming this account will go inactive and they will just open another up with a clean trust rating. If not I think this trust rating will have a few negatives.

good advice we have to do some better then going in to negative its give us very bad mindset also

LOL OP...

regarding the sentiment, though, faucets are a waste of time, unless you're waiting for 7 figure $ BTC...  ;)
