Your first bitcoins came from.. (faucets aside)

[randchingo]

I bought around 0.4 BTC when it was around $40 per BTC, These were my first coins. Did not buy more though :/

My first bitcoins came from Primedice signature campaign way back September 2014. From then on, I started to buy a little amount of btc every month and I have never failed to do so for the past 10 months.

How'd you get your first bitcoins (faucets aside) and what did you do to them?

i believe that many people get their first bitcoin are from faucet,its the most simple way to get it,but of course it just small amount,and i get my first bitcoin lso from faucet,but i dont play faucet too long,becuse i found PTC website that pay us with bitcoin,its more interesting.

I actually began accepting bitcoin for a wide range of services a while back after PayPal permanently banned me from using their services and the only other alternative was the shady Liberty Reserve, if only I knew how much bitcoin would peak at.

why did paypal ban you?

paypal will not freeze your account if you do not make big mistakes, such as fraud or the like. paypal will not freeze your account
perhaps it is also a shortage of centralization.

Taobao.com - the largest Chinese online marketplace run by Alibaba.
The site later banned sale of bitcoin and related items - sad.

That's great that you won at the initial stage, I bought my first bitcoin online and then I started working on signature campaigns and started earning my bitcoins, as I feel that signature campaign is the safest way to earn bitcoins at this stage.

[tommygunyeah]

I bought my first bitcoins (actually only a small fraction of it) in an exchange called MercadoBitcoin (that I later found out is a terrible exchange and have already scammed a lot of people) 

[Mitchow]

My friend gave me a part of bitcoin and then I made it to 1 btc by gambling, And once i had one btc in my wallet I returned the value that my friend gave me at initial stage, and then I started to earn bitcoins from campaigns.

Bought them, I bought from CoinBase. it was easy enough. I also tried to bought from Mt GOx, only to find out I have to do verification (about 1 week) and wire money, that is too much trouble and I decided not do it. At that time, bitcoin was below 100 bucks.

Still remember my first payment too, I was worried they would fly off into nowhere. I have this feeling too.

My first Bitcoins came from a forum member. There was a contest and i won:D Shortly after that, i had also purchased some bitcoins with cash, through Bitstamp.

First bitcoin?
From mining! I was on slush and eligius for one year and a half, nice old times. Then BTC mining became a too big business for small players like me.

[bearexin]

My first bitcoins came from mining doge around 1 year before when it was almost brand new, it was easier to mine with CPU than Bitcoin since it was possible to mine weak CPU criteria. also the first original BTC came from a giveaway in an exchange before.

Yeah even my first bitcoin came from signature campaign as I am not that active on faucets sites, as I feel that faucets are waste of time, so I invest my all time in working on signature campaigns to earn bitcoins.
