How are people accumulating more bitcoin other than buying it with fiat?

I’m watching videos on Youtube and reading forums and i see a commonality of people saying to accumulate more bitcoin and not to day trade. But how does this work? Or are there other ways to grow your bitcoin portfolio? Can you explain a little bit in detail?

You either:
- mine it
- earn it
- buy it

Since you don't want to trade, you probably don't want to get into mining either then there is only one way other than buying left for it, you earn it from services you provide to other poeple. Of course, that's just a disguised form of exchange also since you can also get paid in $ and then exchange that for bitcoin, but let's count it as a method too.

In the end, bitcoin is money, you're just asking yourself how to get more euros without exchanging $ for it.

It's impossible! If you don't want to buy it or day trade in the crypto market, then you are left with only one choice - mining. But to mine bitcoin, you need expensive mining rig which you need to purchase from your own pocket. So it's quite impossible to accumulate crypto without any investment to be honest.

Personally,  I feel trading is the best way to accumulate bitcoin. You still need to invest money but that will be quite less than buying a mining rig. So I would say, give trading a try!

Totally agree that in order to accumulate BTC is to Buy, trade and mine. Buying directly is too expensive and risky if you don't have any idea when exactly to buy. You might end up withdrawing them when you bought them expensively.
Trading is like buying also, but through trading, you will be continuously doing that. Its a matter of buy and sell. Most of the people rely on trading but needs lot of patience. On the other hand mining needs equipment and would probably be costly.

That's one way to go about it but now isn't a great time to start doing that I don't think. Lots of people trade patterns with altcoins for when the btc dominance fluctuates - a few patterns repeat themselves 3 or 4 times before they're obselete too (don't risk too much on this though either 10% is probably the most you'd put on even if you're confident)...


I've seen people try to do scalping and other things to get more bitcoin but that might be riskier than day trading with it.

There used to be a lot of people who had sizeable amounts of bitcoin that would go around claiming faucets (which might be some way to accumulate). Or find a service to sell or something (especially if you enjoy it already).

I think what you can do now would be to trade services in exchange for bitcoin. You won’t have to buy it if you can earn it. I think stompix answered it precisely. So the only option you can do is to earn it unless you want to beg or make use of faucets. Not sure if there are still sites like that, but that would take a long time.

You can try and earn cryptocurrencies in the forum here by looking for the applicable Jobs for you. That's why it's so crucial with the ranking here.

All you need is some skills to accumulate more bitcoins without having to buy it. The skills can be of any kind though.
If you have trading skills you can accumulate bitcoins from trading. If you have some coding or designing skills you can do freelancing for bitcoins.
If you have good investment then you can invest in mining and get more bitcoins.
There are also options like lending which I won't recommend but is a way to accumulate more bitcoins.
You can earn bitcoins by applying for jobs which pay in bitcoin. You can also promote services and ads which pays out in bitcoin.
There are many possibilities to be honest.

If you don't want to buy Bitcoin, you can either mine it or get as rewards on a staking (lending platform). So if not buying with fiat, assemble a mining farm or find a reliable platform where you can lock your Bitcoin and get APYs for it.
But usually, people just buy Bitcoin and hold it on their cold wallets if they are long-term investors rather than traders.

There are few things you can do for sure :

1. Day trading is super successful for most people, but at the same time the volatility of the market can cause a lot of probelms for the people who are not really consistent with their trading and finance. Therefore you have to be super alert at that point


2. You can always sell your services as well we have a whole section dedicated for it.

3. You can honestly participate in signature campaigns and support the companies you might be working for, it can be really rewarding for the long run

4. You can try and do small jobs, video making, reviews and get paid for it on the forum as well.

There are many things you can do to accumulate bitcoins, but it would all depend on your skills.

The perfect answer was here.

If you have bought 1 Bitcoin and store it in your portfolio, it will always remain 1 Bitcoin, only the value towards the dollar will fluctuate.
Through mining and investing mining rigs for your mining equipment, is one factor that you can accumulate Bitcoin, and second is earn it, which means you need to offer your service in exchange for Bitcoin which are very common here in the forum by joining signature or joining bounty and trade token to Bitcoin.

Trading is very risky, there wasn't a guarantee that you will earn from it.  If you don't have knowledge of it, I discourage you from this activity.

Anyway, if there's someone offering you to double your Bitcoin as an investment in just a matter of a day, weeks, or months, just stay away from it, because that's a Ponzi scheme that usually turns out into a scam.

Have you watched until the end of the video you watched?
maybe it's a form of the program from some exchange platform. such as staking or farming.
I also saw videos of some such YouTubers. they need assets as the first capital. I think the way it works is very simple. lock assets on the platform and we will get benefits for a certain amount and a certain time.
it seems that this is almost the same as the deposit system in banking. we use our fiat to be locked in the bank for a certain time. and we will benefit from the specified percentage.
In my opinion, a system like this (staking) is long enough to increase our portfolio. I would probably be happier with day trading.

Bitcoin is money. There's nothing magical about it.  You accumulate it EXACTLY the same ways that you accumulate ANY other money.

• You provide a product or service and accept Bitcoin as payment
• You exchange some other form of money for it (such as your local currency)
• You scam or steal and hope not to be caught

That's it. Same as every other form of money in the world.

Depending on where you are in the world there are also credit cards with BTC cashback:
https://foldapp.com/
https://blockfi.com/credit-card/
Kind of like buying with fiat, but if you are going to be charging stuff anyway...

There are also a few games that pay in crypro but once again, availability is based on location.
https://coinhunt.world/

In the end if you are serious about accumulating you are going to either have to mine or buy.

How real is Bitcoin Mining by an end user? Like I see it as a waste of time when I see links that offers it.

If you really want to mine Bitcoin, that what you are referring to as Bitcoin mining by those online mining is not it. Bitcoin mining is really expensive with all the equipment that you need to do that, and with regards to the OP, it will really take you some time to accumulate a good amount of Bitcoin if you are not willing to trade Fiat for it cos even with the bounties in here that offer Bitcoin payment, the Rank requirement and allocation are really tight.

I think you accumulate BTC just like you accumulate cash.
Your work and get paid with BTC in countries where it is acceptable.
People can also run airdrop and bounty task, when they get paid they can convert it to BTC. The next very ugly means of acquiring is through Fraud.

It's just like any other business, you see what money you have to invest, what are your costs and you plan accordingly, if it were a waste of time then nobody would be mining and we wouldn't have 170exahash of gear currently running.
Besides, mining also has advantages, you can still make money even if the price is flat or the price drops, and if you plan carefully the risks are way less than in trading. One flash crash can wipe all your money and also let you without any capital to continue.

That aside I'm really curious about those links, hope it's not some cloud mining or god knows what other "invention".

Ways on how to accumulate bitcoin.

1. Buy it with fiat
2. Earn through bounties and tasks
3. Accumulation via Trade

Sounds simple but this wont really be because you would really need various skills and of course knowledge on
dealing with multiple jobs or tasks if you are really serious with accumulation.
So this would deal out with someones capability.

The only way to "accumulate" bitcoin is by buying, earning or mining it. This is what those youtube videos probably meant. The risk with day trading is high, hence they didn't recommend you to do it. Don't go around "accumulating" free coins. You will probably end up collecting dusts. Would be a waste of time. You would rather want to do something more productive that will help you accumulate more bitcoin (like selling your skills for bitcoin).

Definitely there are other ways in which you can accumulate more bitcon without buying it. Firstly you can work for it in this forum there are some bounties which is run by some managers which pays with bitcon you can participate and after getting your reward then you hold it, secondly you can mine it which I believe requires much capital before you can start mining because you have to acquire mining machine and bitcoin minning is also ristricted in some countries.

One thing I would caution you of is trading of any type.  For the vast majority of people trading, whether that means trading bitcoin or any investments for that matter, is something that is only suited for a very small percentage of people.  I think there are some small things you can do like with Coinbase they have you take quizzes to earn crypto, some coins have "air-drops" etc.

Participating in bounty campaigns with Bitcoin payment cannot be followed by everyone, only members with high rankings can participate.
Maybe newbies or members with low ranks can start participating in bounty campaigns with altcoins paid, after that the altcoins that we get
we can buy Bitcoin. Actually around 2017 there are a lot of faucets, where we can get Bitcoins for free, but nowadays it is very difficult to find
legit faucets. Then related to mining, I do not recommend it, because mining Bitcoin requires very large capital. So indeed for now it is not easy
to collect Bitcoin without buying it, I prefer to buy Bitcoin regularly, according to our respective financial capabilities. It's the easiest and safest thing
to do for now, especially now that there are many online jobs that we can do, later the income that we get part of we can buy Bitcoin.

Yes that's true and you are very correct not everybody can participate in bounty that pays in bitcoin because is not really easy to get and most of those bounties don't really accept newbies and low rank members but I believe lot's of people can participate In bounties that pay with altcoins which is very easy to get on this forum and after getting your reward you can decide to sell it and buy bitcoin and hold.

Yes. There are still some quite number of signature campaigns who are paying bitcoin but since only high rank position are allowed to participate so you should still have to rank your position OP so you will be qualified. Other than that, there are also crypto jobs that require certain skills so you can give great services to the people and some are really paying in bitcoin. Bitcoin mining is also one way but it needs more capital rather than your effort. Maybe you can try digging up more in the internet so you will learn what are other ways to earn bitcoin aside from buying it.

This gets asked often, but Bitcoin is a currency, and therefore whatever you can do with fiat, you can do with Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin does have some additions which offering more earning opportunities like bounties. To some extent you could also say signature campaigns, but there are other forums which pay for advertisement through signature, but with fiat so not exactly accurate. Although, I'm not really aware of anything like bounties in the fiat industry.

Most people will either offer a service or purchase it directly as an investment. There's no way of magically acquiring it. It's very much like how you would acquire fiat. 

But since the OP is still a newbie, maybe he can join those bounty programs via social media channels,  paying tokens or other coins. And once he received it, he can trade with bitcoin. And so he can acquire btc by joining these bounty programs that really do pay. However, if he is not into participating these bounty programs, he can always check the services section and see if his skills are needed. Because sometimes people are looking for individuals with specific skills like in programming and they will pay crypto. Getting coins from faucets is not advisable because you can get very small amount and spending much of your time collecting those free coins.

If it is not about buying Bitcoin with fiat, the most activity done is by mining.
But mining is considered not really worthy again right now. But you can analyze it by yourslef and try it.
For me, Yes I so far only few times buying Bitcoin with fiat.
Mostly, I get Bitcoin from the signature campaign reward that I am using right now.
This is very worthy to me because I can invest Bitcoin from the reward. Thanks for RollBit and other campaigns so far I have ever joined.  :)

And are you doing trading right now?
You can also use the profits of your altcoins trading to buy some Bitcoin. We can use it even small by small amount.

me? i accumulate mine by joining signature campaign and offering service in real life
and receiving payments in bitcoin.
there are more ways but first learn here in forum to be safe.
you have already have explanation above , all you have to do is to be consistent and make sure that you are ready and has a guts to extend learning.

If you don't have the skills to grow your bitcoin holdings, you have no choice but to buy it and do it incrementally at the right time using Cold money without having to force it and do it within your means. it seems that many people do it that way and do well, and most importantly do it seriously and with discipline.

and if you want to learn and find out to get it for free or want to have the skills to develop it, fourum is the best place to search and learn what you need as mentioned here and also many sites or videos that provide solutions to increase your bitcoin and it all depends on your effort and hard work.

There are only two ways to accumulate bitcoin, you either buy bitcoin with your fiat or work and get paid with bitcoin.

I'm not sure if you are aware of bounty campaigns or signature campaigns, but these are some ways to earn bitcoin here in the forum.
For bounty campaigns, it usually gives you altcoins as your salary or we call it to reward, but you can always trade it with bitcoin as long as it's listed in an exchange.

Explore more, I'm sure you'll learn more and see more opportunities.

here are the sections where you can check some opportunities to earn.

Bounties (Altcoins)  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0)

Lastly, always remember to read  the forum rules.  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0)

Mining is not advisable due to electric bills that may cost you after awhile, before mining bitcoin is easy but now due to number of users who mined bitcoins it's quite hard to compete with. I prefer looking for services that can paid you in bitcoin or in their coins then after trade it with bitcoin. There are jobs now in services here in forum or some crypto group chats that ask for your skills and can be paid depending on your work. Many started here in forum thru bounties.

I think Mining is one answer that is good enough to earn bitcoins without using your fiat, other than that you can trade and maybe for the last chance you can work in this forum.
This is the most possible thing especially by being on this forum, apart from us being able to add more knowledge than reading every latest uptodate information and news, you can also get paid even though the main goal of some people is not that but there is a payment made.

There other option too, like offering your own NFT to others. Since this field is going boom in this time period you stand a good chance if you just come up with “what peeps loving these days”. What could be best than offering your arts, stuff or may be something that you can create physically or virtually. Either way just create something, look for the best platform to offer your NFT and world is already awaiting at the door to see some million dollar arts.

However, this option is only valid if you are skilled enough in the field of arts or imagination I would say.

But with more challenges comes huge rewards. Get the money either in Fiat or simply get paid in bitcoin.

Agreed, and I would advise you to put your time into learning new skills because newbies are notoriously impatient and eager to earn money as quickly as possible without exerting any effort on their part. It's great to hear that you're providing services physically and accepting bitcoin as payment, which means that more and more physical stores are accepting bitcoin as a payment method, which is a good sign because the majority of transactions are now taking place online. Hopeful that businesses in my area will begin accepting bitcoin as a method of payment.

if you have skills and other knowledge? so of course you can make bitcoin than Buying .
If you can Mine? then it is best as well as long as your can afford a cheap energy consumption because Mining is really high on that.

next offering your skills inside the forum as there are tons of people here looking for assistance in exchange for Bitcoin.

and also bounty hunting but since you are a newbie it is limited for you.

There are some ways by which people are not spending anything to buy Bitcoin and still accumulating btc at some point like :

1)You could ask your employer to pay you in bitcoin directly some portion if he agrees to do so and it's not banned in your country.

2)Provide some freelance service and ask the client beforehand to pay in bitcoin to your wallet

3) Try some faucets or games that pay in btc(but it's waste of time)

4) Mining Bitcoin but it would require you to spend heavily on building up the setup and then extra cost of maintenance and electricity.

So you could try some mentioned by members also if you could manage to make btc out of any of them it would be best for you.

It's not viable 99% of the time. That thing is processed in batches by the HR payroll and there are lots of hoops to go through just to payout.

And also the price volatility.

Following bounties and doing airdrops is one way to be able to collect bitcoins without having to buy with fiat, because later when the airdrop and bounty we do are finished usually they will give us a reward in the form of coins then we can exchange the coins for bitcoin, but if you really If you really want to collect bitcoins that way, you need a lot of faith and patience to be successful.

Honestly there are lots of opportunities to get crypto for free on twitter, like airdrops, quickdraw with light tasks. And ever since memes and NFT coins became hype, there's been meme and other art design competitions every day with tradeable coin prizes. In addition, Twitter is the first social media used by crypto companies to announce the holding of prize events on their respective platforms such as AMA, voting and others.

As a freelancer, and to add some advice to all those who say "try to earn Bitcoin", I can give you one huge tip that worked for me when I first started out trying to bill clients in crypto: offer them a discount on your rates if they're willing to pay in Bitcoin. Make it a savings for them in terms of cost, and they'll be more likely to do it.

Then be prepared to teach them how to do it. For me, a simple Localbitcoins or local exchange was a good solution for them.


Which is why you talk to your HR about using a payroll solution like Bitwage (unfortunately I don't think they serve every country now but HR talking to them could make things work if you've got good relations with them -- which, as a side note, is really important in any job haha).

Buy it is the easiest way to get bitcoin, or work with the skills you have by paying with bitcoin, and mining which of course requires a lot of capital to buy hardware and pay for electricity. You can also trade but of course there are big risks. There are various ways depending on how comfortable we are doing it

Well at least you can clearly read the Topic? mentioning about "Other Than BUYING"?



even if not paying in Bitcoin but at least paying in altcoins because you can easily convert the altcoins into bitcoin (As long as the altcoin has a value and trading volume)

I know some ways to accumulate more bitcoin and not by day trade or trading. That way will be mining, staking, and lending.

Mining, you mine bitcoin from your home or other places using hardware or GPU. You can search for more explanations from other resources.

Staking, you can stake on an exchange such as Binance which will reward you. But I do not know how many the rewards.

Lending, you lend your bitcoin to traders at the exchanges. You can find this info at Poloniex which I already used until now. The rate is not much but if that is about bitcoin, it is worth doing, at least, for me.

You can select what you want and can do because not many people will have the same ways as me.

Accumulating Bitcoin isn’t easy. You either earn through bounties which isn’t as easy as it sounds or you buy through fiat, which you need skills to know when to enter, or you mine it. Mining is also expensive. There is no easy way out

Bitcoin payments that are based on our skills are dwindling due to bitcoin's global effect, demand and way of owning it has taken a huge fee and sometimes we have bought it, we also need to calculate the spending properly, can't pay like many people have done normally in the past, just a sketchy skill framework is enough to get rejected by many managers who pay in bitcoin. The most time saving is still trying to own a bit of bitcoin to have more advanced evolutions by investing, except for this method, airdrop and bounty can also be the basis but to get work and get paid is difficult

There are lots of ways that people can get bitcoins without having to pay for it with fiat. Although a lot of people prefers to just buy it with fiat, because that way it is more easy and they can store it and wait for it to increase in value while they continue to make profits from it. Other ways that people have been generating bitcoins is by mining it, but this method is not as easy as it used to be before when bitcoin was still new. Before you can easily mine it at home, but now it’s not that easy.

Now you have join a platform or you can even go for cloud mining. Another way you can get it is by working and getting paid in Bitcoin. You can tell your employer or contractor to be sending you payments through bitcoin.

Buy is a real choice for current conditions. The reason is simple if you mine, of course, you know how responsible mining will only be a thing in time to combine finished supply. Unless you are ready with all Alt Combat in terms of mining. Of course the big cost must be served. What about scalping trade? For Bitcoin itself, I do not recommend the DEMAGANAGN, because this is far more at risk. Bitcoin is suitable for bought and detained in the long run.

You don't need to have a lot of Fiat a lot to buy 1 bitcoin. On exchanges you can beat them just by utilizing a correction, set aside a minimum of $ 10 in each correction. Little by little the number of your Bitcoin increases and in the future it will only be very valuable.

Other way is mining but i think it's too much expert to do since you are asking this question.
So i think you could "buy" it from the money you earn from doing some task and get paid by cryptocurrency then you trade your "reward" to bitcoin, that's the easiest i think as a beginner.
Many ways to earn it in this forum there are many of project owner wanna paid us and doing some task for them. Just keep exploring.

In my country, I've yet to know one that actually pays in crypto :p

Besides, the adoption remains extremely low as well so not a chance. Still, doesn't stop me from investing with fiat haha

you can get bitcoins by doing Airdrops or participating in a bounty program where the prizes are in the form of Bitcoin, if the prize is in the form of other coins then you have to exchange it first so you can have it in Bitcoin form. Another way is mining Bitcoin, mining Bitcoin usually requires quite a lot of capital but after that you will enjoy a very large amount of profit every month.

Freelance, my man. Freelance;) Work as an independent contractor, get a few clients, and they'll get hooked. I know a couple already who sidelined into blockchain and now even NFT, and it all started with getting them to pay with Bitcoin. You'll be really surprised to find out how many entrepreneurs are ready to go crypto, at least online, even without the numbers to back the business up at first. Especially the tech generation and "silicon valley" mirrors. Sure, they end up going altcoin route sometimes but hey, it's a win in the end.

I have found, from personal experience, is that, for me at least, earning it works best. I never feel like I really invested anything as I still have a primary job, but I am still constantly investing through earning because I just sit on it. It's just a mental thing for me because it kinda seems like I haven't spent anything on it (but I know I did, again, works for me). Also, with earning I feel like I am at least giving some of my time an effort back, if that makes any sense.

First of you are at the very right place to grab detailed information about Bitcoin activities, such as Earning Bitcoins, Mining, Trading, and many other activities.
Day by day crypto universe is becoming bigger than ever think. Due to exponential growth in crypto in the last few years, major users from all over the world are intentionally looking towards Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as vehicles to become richer. But it's actually not.

Learning basic things can only produce some sort of cryptocurrencies for anyone by doing general activities in exchange for time and hours spent on it. But this is not a great deal, rather understanding industry updates and tech innovations can bring more revenue in crypto.

Nowadays many new trends such as Defi, Yield Farming, Liquidity Pool Mining, Staking, Swapping, and Minting including NFT are becoming more famous. Even having huge potential in the coming future.

Just like you said there's a lot of ways to legitly accumulate more Bitcoin without buying with fiat currency but most the airdrop and quick task of these days only give some Satoshi which didn't worth the time and stress used to execute the process.

Having said that, the best that would ways generate legit Bitcoin for anybody is knowledge that's having some crypto tech knowledge.

There are some ways which I believe most have been mentioned by some people here. Mining is quite expensive and unless you have that kind of fund, that will be the least option. Doing Bitcoin paying bounty is another way but that too is mainly for top ranking accounts with extra requirements which are also out of your level. Doing faucets might be the easiest for this will take years for you to get to a meaningful amount of Bitcoin.

Although newbie and low rank members can participate in bounty campaigns that pay with altcoins, but the risk is very high. Because based on
my experience, participate in bounty campaigns with altcoins paid most of the altcoins earned are shitcoins. So selling it was very difficult and
also the price fell very cheap, there are even those who have earned altcoins for years that have not been listed on any exchanges. And a very
small percentage of bounty campaigns pay with good altcoins. So as I said before, it is indeed more effective to collect Bitcoins by buying with fiat.
We can make USD from various online jobs, so the income we get can be bought Bitcoin.
 

Well, its not only through bounties you can earn bitcoin, there are still other ways to do it. If you have special skills in crypto, then you can work for a certain job which requires it and have paid in bitcoin. If you have some alts that you think some are already not in high value, then you can sell it and buy bitcoin. And lastly, get involved in mining bitcoin. Although this needs more funds but if you want to have more bitcoin, then this will be a big help.

Well that right --even now airdrop still exists, just open an account of Freebitco.in and they have still given sats per hour. At least you have bitcoin for free but I don't think what is the minimum amount before you can withdraw. It could be the contest too or any promotion that given bitcoin, you may accumulate once you will win the contest and I did it in Roobet before, I won some bitcoin by joining their contest and it is totally free that you will get in exchange for your art.

Yes exactly selling your skills about crypto like crypto marketing to those project seeking for a skilled person that can do that thing for them you can also earn bitcoin (if this is what the employer or your client agree to pay your services) then it's another way to earn bitcoin. Also, of course one of the most consideration to earn bitcoin is through joining bounty and airdrops but not all of the projects paid their bounty hunters by btc, some are using their own tokenomics or some uses other altcoins but as long as it has a value in the market you can exchange it and buy bitcoin. But if you are looking to have bitcoin on your own without dealing with the above mention then buying is what you really have to do.

After the recently adjustments, the rates are quite low, way lower if you don't wager.

Minimum amount is at 30,000 (~USD 17) Sats so without active referrals, that would take painstakingly long.

You can look for online jobs that pay in the form of bitcoin. There are several online games that pay the reward of winning in the form of bitcoin. You can play those games if you are a gamer.

Unfortunately not many people have special skills in crypto, which is why most people prefer to participate in bounty campaigns.
Your suggestion is correct, if we have altcoins that don't have the potential to have a great future, it's best to sell it immediately
if it still has demand. It's okay to just be priced cheaply than end up being deadcoins in our wallets. Regarding mining, it does require
large capital, but if we study it properly, mining Bitcoin can indeed help generate Bitcoin. But for now I'm still not interested in mining Bitcoin,
apart from requiring large capital, I also still don't have enough knowledge about Bitcoin mining.

Mining bitcoin with GPU will not get you bitcoins, it will get you a lot of debt from the electric company.


What would "staking" bitcoin achieve? Binance is offering interest on lending your coins, it's not staking, at it's 3% APY.
But! you have to have coins in the first place!


What is the difference between getting paid in $ and exchanging those for BTC?
If you bake your own cakes it doesn't mean they are free if you still have paid for the ingredients, same here, you've worked and you get paid for something, it's not a specific way to get bitcoins.

Why is everyone focusing on working for BTC?
What would you choose between a job that pays you 10$ an hour and one that pays 0.0001 BTC?

Anyhow OP, you've had your answers, lock the topic, it's not only getting useless but also misleading with all these answers.

Maybe the most logic to explain it if not mining, then earning from airdrop or bounties. Because trading and gambling means we must deposit our fiat or buy bitcoin / other crypto with fiat first. If mining, fiat must used to buy mining rig first and if earning, means we not use any capital to do it.

There are various of ways to earn BTC without purchasing it via fiat.

First, you may offer your services and skills for a consideration of BTC under the marketplace. Dozens of people have already created threads where they offered to do something in particular to an individual and the payment is through bitcoin. Another thing, you may also participate in campaign signatures where the payment is usually paid in BTC weekly.

In my opinion, I consider the 2nd method to be the most convenient way of earning but the only hindrance would be your forum rank.

Here's what I've learnt so far about accumulating bitcoin or any other asset for that matter. If you stake it, you could actually generate some APY for yourself. But what I do mostly is save it in my AuBit Freeway network. Whenever anyone makes a bitcoin transaction in the network, 80% of the what AuBit gains from the transaction is sent to the liquidity pool, basically shared amongst the bitcoin holders. This way, I get over 40% APY from just saving my coins in the network.

Right. As you can’t participate in most of the signature campaigns that are paid in bitcoin once your position is still in newbie, member or full member. You still have to level up your position so you will be qualified. In addition to your various ways, if you have some other potential coins in your portfolio, you can sell it and convert into bitcoin. In this way, there’s no need to pay for it. You can consider too mining for bitcoin if you are aiming for huge number of bitcoin but that may somehow require a capital to make it possible. But i believe the best way to accumulate bitcoin is through purchasing it with fiat. The more you spend, the higher chances for you to make bigger profits.

Well, the fastet way to accumulate more bitcoin is to either buy it using fiat or do trading. But since it's not on the question, there are still some way more ways to accumulate or earn bitcoins for FREE.
• You can mine it if you have the proper materials needed for it, sure it's costly but it's nothing when you eventually mined something about it.
• You can also do Lend/Loan bitcoins to other who needs it and give it some interests to make some profits depending on how long or how much is it.
• Play online games and be paid in cryptocurrency such as bitcoin.
• Lastly, you may know it but I will still say it, apply to signature campaigns in this forum to accumulate bitcoins.

If it's still not for you, try to search in the internet on how to earn or accumlate bitcoins. Cheer up mate!

if without fiat to get bitcoin you can mine it but to mine you also need capital to buy a mining machine which in essence you will get bitcoin with a mining machine so you don't issue fiat to buy bitcoin.

Airdrops, bounties, or maybe offer service that paid in crypto. Because earning in crypto we can do anything that we want, from gambling to trading or if not want to use capital just work for other people or company and you can increase your portofolio with it.

many ways to get bitcoin without buying it with FIAT,
For example, in this forum there is a bounty where there are various campaigns such as social media, articles, signatures and much more.
You can exchange your income from the bounty with bitcoin, my friend
besides that you can also trade daily, weekly, so your usual profits buy bitcoins or you trade in BTC pairs

For you to trade it requires you have money that you will first invest, which eliminates his whole idea of earning Bitcoin without having to buy it with FIAT.

And of course I do know that earning bitcoin these days without fiat is a very difficult thing to do, it isn’t like in the old days when bitcoin was being giving out for free, and there are lots of ways to get it online just like faucets (I knew a lot of faucets back then that were really paying well, and one of them I knew back then was even paying up to 700 satoshi every fives minutes, while others were paying 50, 100, or so.). Well, I think his best bet would be through campaigns.

The first Bitcoin I had acquired was through faucets, but that was back in 2013-14, so that's out of the question. However, the most I acquired mainly derived from signature campaigns here, mining (through Nicehash) and occasional trading.

Your best bet would be a signature campaign, doing tasks that pay in Bitcoin, or if you're up for a challenge, short trading.

Well, there are various ways to earn Bitcoin without having to buy with fiat money, you can join signature campaigns and bounties that pay you in Bitcoin or you trade Bitcoin on the exchange. You will need to work on your account to rank up before you can join signature campaigns that pay with Bitcoin, if you have a skill that someone can hire you and pay you in Bitcoin.

^ You mean that in return for your service you will earn BTC right?
That is definitely right, through your service you will earn BTC, through faucet you can earn BTC, through an affiliate, through a contest, swapping your valuable stuff in exchange for BTC and etc. There are a lot of them that you can earn BTC without having money, but I don't know how much the time will take before you can accumulate a big amount because, in faucets, they only give a tiny fraction of BTC that it could take years before you can withdraw.

there are several ways to accumulate more bitcoin online. Let me mention you a few below:

1. freelancing job for bitcoin
2. selling digital products for bitcoin
3. cryptocurrency exchange referrals for bitcoin
4. crypto yield farming and staking for more crypto
5. joining crypto airdrops and bounties

Back in the day there was a faucet where you could solve a captcha and earn up to 5 Bitcoins per day.  Wish those days still existed lol

Those are days when bitcoin is given to people as free giveaway. Such scenario have changed with the increasing adoption resulting in price increase. The price increase made more such bitcoin faucet sites go shut. Everyone wish for such old days, but it is quite impossible. For now the best way is provide services in exchange for bitcoin.

Mining it is an option, which isn't really feasible depending on your environment and resources but it's one of the ways you can earn it.

Trading is another option but it takes intellectualism to get this done in a very good manner and earn profits to purchase bitcoin

Rendering your services also and getting paid in bitcoin is another option to consider

I'm going to be really honest with you, the most common way to accumulate Bitcoin is through buying it with Fiat, either you have a job in real life that pays you, and thus you use a fraction of your salary to buy/accumulate Bitcoin, it does not mean that it's the only way, but it's somewhat the most assured and popular way of acquiring Bitcoin. Having said that, some people may tell you to try faucets or airdrops, but I'm afraid, you'll earn little or nothing from them, coupled with the fact that majority of them are scams, and instead of you earning, you could end up losing, you can also earn some Bitcoin if you have one skill or the other, and when you offer your services to people, they could pay you in Bitcoin, another means is if you're working in establishments that offer payment of salary in Bitcoin, you can also request to be paid in Bitcoin.

No one knew that Bitcoin could reach 4, let alone 5 figures.

Now we see faucets dispensing similar amounts for their own coins but I doubt they would reach the same level.

As far as I know the only worthful faucet platform right now is Cointiply. You can earn there by doing tasks, surveys and running apps on your mobile device. The good news is that every countries have access to at least few surveys daily there, different from most platforms I've seen which don't give any chances for third world countries citizens to earn by doing surveys.
Cointiply also pays daily interest over users' balances and run different bonuses and promotions from times to times. Without referrals nobody is going to make a lot of money from this site, but it's still a lot better than anything else disponible right now. As OP is looking for a way to accumulate btc without buying it, that is an alternative.

The op would have make it generally as cryptocurrency without being specific to one coin as bitcoin, you can generate cryptocurrency of any kind depends when it will be about to launch, i know people earn a coin through mining which is the shortest way to earn bitcoin instead of buying with fiat currency.

Well there can only be 3 ways to acquire bitcoin, 1) By trading, 2) by mining& 3) by gift. The best and easy way is by trading, but you are required to put your focus on the market and the trend of people towards bitcoin, the second one is by mining, but it's very expensive, you would have to purchase a mining rig for this purpose, the third one is very rare, which is to acquire by gift. But we don't have any such friends, who would ever be willing to gift bitcoin. Any such friendship is always welcome. lol

Mining isn't an option, you'll need specific miners in order to mine, using your own computer won't just do it. On top of that, you'll need to do a cost to benefit analysis, due to high electricity costs.

While I remember the early days of Bitcoin (2013-2014), you could potentially earn a decent amount of BTC, I believe that the amount you're claiming is an exaggeration. Faucets were my first experience with Bitcoin and accumulated a decent amount for today's standards.

How is bout trading?
We can trade Bitcoin and get again Bitcoin from the profits.
So far, I ma not mining so that I cannot tell about this.
But trading is really profitable for me although it is very risky also. Well, maybe if you can see some platforms, there are also some that provide any staking or other yield farming to get rewards on BTC.
