my first bitcoin came from here, i have ask around for a little bitcoin just to get started and know how it works but not even one give anything so i decided to join some graphic design contest and i received some tips from it.

you should check out subreddits like reddit.com/r/Jobs4bitcoins  I am sure you can find a lot more similar work to do and get paid in bitcoin.

Even I purchased it from localbitcoins as that was the only way for me to hold bitcoins, as I wanted to join signature campaign and for that I had to buy accounts So my friend recommended me to buy it from localbitcoins and than I joined signature campaigns and started earning bitcoins, but buying bitcoins was worth it and really enjoying the journey with bitcoins.

It was a great giveaway last year but Stellar price was high yesterday it was more than +17% just in a day. And today you can see the graph -17.53% It is a huge difference.

Depends. 

If you mean the 1st Bitcoin I *allegedly* had, that came from Gox.

If you mean the 1st Bitcoin I really had, that came from my CPU, or - if you really mean Bitcoin and not fractions thereof - it came from a KnC Jupiter.

Well, to be even more precise it came from Slush.
