Before I start on bitcoin way back 6 months ago I am very interested with bitcoin but It was very to get about the information about it and I was very confused how can I earn bitcoin and how can I make money from it by using and claiming on faucets I don't even know why and can a website which called faucet gives a free coin with just solving a captcha images . And I was really trying to earn it .

Most of bitcoin users started with the same situation, it was very interesting for me at the begining. And it's also interesting for me nowdays.

Well I started bitcoin just months ago on april. Well it gone pretty good since after registering a web wallet I found out about these forum and this forum helped me to get ideas how to earn bitcoin for free. I started using bitcoin at first just to pay for bills but later I have used it to earn some extra money.

there was a time when my mom said to me that using inyernet is just a waste it will only waste my time and money but will not pay money in return so i searched the internet and after a lot of search i saw a interview at discovery channel about bitcoin and after that i know about this system

My mother doesn't really believe in me for using bitcoins because I don't really cash out my money. She told me she'd only believe if I would cash out my money and show it to her myself but I don't want to cash it out since I'm most definitely waiting and hoping for a price increase since the halving is REALLY near.

Even my friend forced me to join the community last year, I was really not interested in joining bitcoin, but as time passed I started to enjoy each and every moment of it.

That's fine, I too came through the help of my friend before an year ago. Initially I too hesitated and within a short understood the real nature of bitcoin and started using and earning as much possible.

With a lot of things, mouth to mouth is the best kind of marketing. I too was told by a friend to start checkout out bitcoin.
When I did a whole new world opened op for me.

Hi, littlebeetly, I started using bitcoins just last year. I think it was June 2015 when my cousin invite me to join a multilevel marketing and bitcoin is the currency required to make an investment in the company. So she shared me a link, the blockchain and introduce me on how to register on it, up to the process of Depositing money in it, and also withdrawing, transferring money to someone, receiving money from them and till now I am so glad that I discovered bitcoins.

Really 2013? ow that was almost 3 years ago? And what was the  current price of bitcoin that time?  Did you like it the first time? How did you feel the first time using bitcoins in transacting money and have you already earned in it? I was also not interested before but after sometime it makes me so much interested in the industry specially when I started earning and when I started to discover the use of bitcoins in our daily lives.

I started using Bitcoin back in 2012 when i bought a game called minecraft. I had join this server that provided bitcoins for how much you build and breakk blocks. Then i learnt about faucets; i didnt think it was anything important and its only this year when i realised that Bitcoin is actually a currency i can use for my online transactions; so i decided to join a signature campaign to increase my gains.

Even my friend  recommended me to use bitcoin and showed me how he was earning from signature campaign and trading, I found trading difficult as bitcoin was totally new concept for me so I decided to start with joining signature campaign.

I start using bitcoin last year because i want to earn more money and also get money for buying the things that i need. I also start using bitcoin because i believe that it will be my back up if ever i will not get a job and also i'm hoping that bitcoin will keep rising so it can continue to support me .

I was searching on google to earn money online and then I show that there is a way to earn money with bitcoin, then I came to this forum and started to learn how to earn from this forum.

[michietn94]

At least 1 year ago, at the first time , I'm not interest bitcoin at all but there are many local forum mentioned that bitcoin is unique and can be use as investation like a gold. So I prove it by searching more advance about bitcoin.

And here I'm ... with bitcoin , it easier me to made some transaction and provide lowest fee compare I'm using fiat !

I started way back 1st quarter of 2014,  I was redirected to some faucet site, actually it is not a bitcoin faucet but an altcoin faucet that rewards Doge.  Then further redirected to their Ann thread, where I happen to know lots of Altcoins and then eventually convert these altcoin to bitcoin.  Way back 2014, staying here in Bitcointalk.org is like waitiing for free money since there are lots of giveaways (airdrop) in altcoin section.  So I start using Bitcoin because of ease that i don't need to go out to pay my bills or load up my mobile number.

I knew it at 2013 but didnt interresting at that time. Then suddently a lot of my friends talk about it from time to time thats why I curious to involve in it. January 2014 was the first time I started to get bitcoin from faucet and did it for almost six months before I decided to buy some of it from my local exchanger. Nowadays I prefer to collect btc and other crypto currency for free. I participated on a bunch of contest that being held by some gambling sites and exchanger sites. I do this from time to time when I got spare time!
