How did you get your first bitcoin?

[Chaplin]

Bitcoin Faucet, like so many others. And then I mined and mined for about a month until I had maybe BTC0.50 tops... 'cause I was on a Radeon 4550. lol Maybe once you could turn a profit with that much, but I think I wound up donating it all to the EFF before I got out of mining.

[Fuckbuddies]

I got my willy out on cam4btc and now I'm fascinated by the whole concept of bitcoin. Stay classy.

My first came from the bitfaucet in 2011.

[VelvetLeaf]

Got it first from mining at Slush's pool. I think I got 0.2 / day and after several days passed I got my first full 1.0 bitcoin.

My first coin came from mining with a very cheap GPU. Since then got some better GPU's but I still only consider myself a part time miner.

[RodeoX]

Why I stole it from Mt.Gox of course.

j/k - My real answer is on like page 2.

[Winterfrost]

My first partial bitcoin was from the faucet. As for a whole one, I got my first one from an exchange.

I was given two by someone when i made an enquiry about where to get them  Good times!

[mikebob]

I mined my first coin   

[northlake]

mined my first ~.2, got my first full coin with some audio work for BTC on forbitcoin.com

[GetFreeCoins]

The first Bitcoin I got was from a guy at another forum, he was giving a very small amount of Bitcoins to people who completed some offers for him.

[Nyr]

I bought 43 BTC two weeks ago, just before the prices started to go up.

I mined my first Bitcoin! It was a great feeling, I only have one good graphics card, I'm going to wait for the ASIC's so I get about .1 BTC a day from mining

[Stardust]

Solo mined my first bitcoins, and 'em an enthusiast bordering fanaticism.

[zorgberg]

The zorgberg is an enthusiast and wannabe miner/trader.  Still working to achieve some bitcoins and waiting for a better graphics card.

[bitvientiane]

I mined it back when you could still mine bitcoins with lousy hardware. Too bad I lost interest shortly after.

[Mafroulis]

Yeah like many others here I mined my first one.

[Timbert33]

mtgox via bitinstant anon cash deposit

[KniteWulf]

I still haven't gotten my first coin. I'm hoping to get some via person-to-person trade, since buying them via Dwolla -> other service now takes 30 days; I don't have 30 days!

I might just start mining them with a computer lab 

[TRUERELIGION]

mtgox via aurumxchange, deposited 130$ via Wire. Like their service...
