Can I get in bitcoins even though I'm really broke?

I tried going to all the free bitcoin sites and took forever to many in coin.

I finally went and bought $40 worth of bitcoin.

Much like any investment I would say to simply not put in any money yourself unless you know you can do without it in the next couple of months.

Now whilst many have mentioned faucets, you will quickly find out by yourself that it takes days before you can cash out from most of those and the quantity you gain is often too low to be significant.

If however you have a bit of cash and are willing to take some risks, there are some alternative cheap crypto currencies which fluctuate wildy (Often due to groups of people manipulating the market in short bursts) so if you know who to talk to you can benefit from this (Again this is really risky). Those can then be exchanged against BTC.
