Title: How to earn BTC
Post by: bziubek on September 12, 2012, 06:35:06 AM
Except for mining (which is getting more and more specialized and risky) and investing on GLBSE are there other ways of earning btc? And I'm not talking about trading on silk road, only online stuff :)

Start a good Bitcoin project. Create something useful for the community. Offer a useful (bitcoin) service, or a product. Use your imagination!  
Or start a ponzi  8)

Also if you have programming or web design skills you can likely earn BTC by doing some freelance work.

You can do in-person trading.

You set the price.  Have the person meet you.

This is because for some people even going to 7-11 and picking up the red phone is too much work / too complicated / too risky / etc.  and meeting up with the seller and doing a trade face-to-face is worth it to them, and they are willing to pay a little extra.

Hey, mining is still legit  ???,

Everyone has marketable skills, offer services in exchange for bitcoin e.g. computer building, coding (web or program based), design, a bitcoin mixer and charge a small fee once you're set up.

I'd happily pay a small business/individual with BTC  :)

It depends what your skills are OP. What are you good at? If you have trading skills or are willing to learn you could consider buying and selling on the exchanges, or arbitraging between them.

Quote from: Capital One Corporation

I have been observing and investing in bitcoin for a long time,while I have been running a high yield program with my partner for several months. I'm going to raise bitcoin from the community. Wish my endeavor will help the bitcoin economy.

Basically yes, seems so.

The same way you earn USD. Take something you have, or a service you can offer, and sell it for BTC.

Well, most posters here seem to reply to get rid of their newbie restrictions. That would be on reason.

If you are concerned about the risks with mining, invest your BTC with pyramining and let someone else buy and maintain the hardware for you:

Benefit of offering services in BTC: BTC owners highly-motivated to buy from you, as the competition space is small.

Disadvantage of offering services in BTC: customer space is small.
