Hello all !

To begin, sorry for my bad english I'm a french and young guy...

Wanting to start in the bitcoin bitcoin sustem but not having much money, born of a very modest family.

I always wondered if it was possible to start in bitcoins without be a richman..

What do you recommend? Wait for ASICs out or I can invest in GPU .. ?

If you want to help me ... Look at my signature: D

Bitcoin isn't only about mining.  It would be like saying "I would like to get started in gold but I don't have an excavator".   

Honestly mining is a zero sum game and the network is well protected.  With low barriers to entry and an unlimited number of new miners willing to accept lower and lower returns it isn't that interesting.

Make a service that supports the Bitcoin community and you will do something interest and maybe very profitable.

So... For you.. it's not interesting to start mining now.. ? And for LTC ?

I can't create a service  that supports the BTC community.. i'm a big noob in codage etc. And I've no much money to spent.. :/

I'm from a family of modest means, as well. We ate boiled water for dinner most nights. Can I succeed in bitcoin? (And that's post #5. This rule CREATES trolls.)

Mine for other crypto currencies if bitcoins are out of your starting range. I am broke and am still having fun mining other types.

All the big players in mining are using expensive, complicated ASCIs... the rest of us will have to make do trying to play the market, he he he.

You like to lose the little bit of money you still have?

If you want to make money, learn to program the computer or some valuable skill and go get a job or start a business.

Bitcoin is very risky, both as a miner and investor. Not suitable for someone who does not have money to lose.

There are plenty of sites out there that let you earn some bitcoins by visiting web sites, watching videos, or completing small tasks/offers. The amount is not much, but there's no risk involved. See my signature for one such site.

If you're looking to make substantial money, nothing beats learning new skills and getting a real job or starting a business. I personally wouldn't bother mining if you can't afford it.
