I got my first Bitcoin when I was working with a Brazilian man by online. I managed a blockchain and cryptocurrency media website at the end of 2013 with a salary at that time of 0.4 BTC per month. At that time I was still studying Chemical Engineering, in 1 week I learned in full what blockchain and Bitcoin and Mining were with guidance from that person. We communicate anonymously via Facebook. I don't know why we just know each other and do our respective jobs according to the job description and then receive a salary from him. For 9 years I worked with him, then in 2014 I started to enter the crypto community in the area I live and got to know the Bitcoin talk forum in 2016-2017 and was active in crypto campaign projects that paid for altcoins. And only in 2022 did I start to enter paid Bitcoin signature campaigns until now. I feel helped by the existence of this forum where we are also required to continue to learn and contribute positively here so that we can survive and envolve in every condition.

Congratulations for you.
I also got my first Bitcoin from this forum by participating in several old campaigns.

This forum can generate income that can help you earn money and it's not wrong to hope for income from the forum, but it feels like our reach is too narrow if we only hope for income from here.
Don't convert the Bitcoin you get from here into fiat, but keep it in your wallet as long as you are still active. If the bitcoins earned in the campaign can be saved up to 1BTC, that would be extraordinary.

I bought my Bitcoin using a centralized platform Coins.PH is like a digital banking like others we have and those can be used to buy cryptocurrency at first im fan of XRP because of having low transaction fees, sooner or later I converted most of my coins into BTC when the market came in bull run but its not big as you expect its just a weekly investment with 20$ just small but keeps making a good run those times, now im earning BTC through using services, included with the Signature campaign right now I joined with. But now my goal for the next year is to have at least 1 BTC hoping but its far but not impossible.

What I mean with "first Bitcoin" is that regardless of the amount I got from faucets, trading or Bitcoin payment from services offered online sent to my wallet. 😁

Way back in 2016 I was not that active right after I created my account maybe I was addicted to online games that time or have other priorities. 2017 was for me the best year of being here on this forum. I earned tens of thousands of dollars with signature bounty on the last quarter of the year which is the peak of Bitcoin. Unfortunately for me, I have no idea about trading those tokens since I was a newbie to bounty campaign. In 2018 things started to turn against the tide when prices continuously went down and I can do nothing about my plummeting funds.

This was the time I created a thread to help other members of the forum to find the services they needed and it actually worked out. I received a lot of merits but yeah this was also my busiest and stressful year of my life. I managed my cousins small business during the day and at the same time I went with my friends hunting for agarwood at night in the forest. 😁 I need to divert the stress I have but yeah I still manage to post often on this forum.

Pandemic came and then a supertyphoon hit us hard 6-7 months without electricity and stable data connection, we need to travel more than 55 kilometers just to have a good signal. My Cellphone was damaged after the devastation of the typhoon it was still working but with ghost touch. Unfortunately my laptop get flooded as well and was dead together with my NFT games. I even posted here for help but it didn't work.

I wish that those misfortune I got from my previous years won't come back again. Because I was once almost had to lose hope. But because of my family I am still here to fill what I was missing. I am so sorry to those who are expecting better updates about my Overview of Services thread way back in 2018 as it was closed by mods for inactivity and for being outdated.

So you don't mean your first whole Bitcoin so much as your first satoshis or fractions of Bitcoin. I see a confusion of these terms in the whole thread conversation, because you seem to be referring to a whole Bitcoin, when colloquially you can say "I have Bitcoin" without having a whole Bitcoin but fractions of it or satoshis.

In any case signature campaigns are a good way to get Bitcoin (or fractions of Bitcoin, or satoshis). You get them for an entertaining activity and without KYC.

You have many ways to get bitcoin. Through signature campaign, through works like coding, designing avatars, BBcode signature in Bitcointalk and some cryptocurrency free lance platforms. Generally, you can use part of your income to buy bitcoin or can work to get bitcoin directly as your salary.

I would advice you to stop doing bounties because you don't know how much you will receive with them. You also will spend your time for low quality tasks and also by joining bounties, you will have less reasons to make quality posts. It will not help you to earn merit and is barrier for you to join good signature campaign.

Focus on your posts and their quality, don't join bounties, after a few months, you can be chosen in good signature campaigns.

Getting Bitcoin through the signature campaign is very easy, once you are accepted as a campaign participant, you only need to follow all the rules contained in the campaign to be eligible to receive weekly payments. However, not all members who join the Bitcointalk forum have the same fate, there are members who have big names in the forum for their contributions to the forum, they are more easily accepted into the signature campaign because their contributions to the forum are very large.
There are also members at the level who subscribe to the signature campaign, those who contribute through quality posts that meet the minimum requirements obtained during the last 120 days more than other members. Meanwhile, members who are lazy about being creative to produce quality posts or those who choose to walk in place will experience difficulties because their chances of being accepted into the signature campaign are very small.

I was paid in Altcoins when I was a Bounty Hunter, but I got a different feeling when I first received payment in Bitcoin, holding Bitcoin felt more prestigious, especially when I first got it.

No matter how you get your first bitcoin, the most important thing is that you know that it is truly a worthy long-term investment asset. You are certainly lucky to have the opportunity to take part in a bitcoin paid signature campaign, because of your skills in posting, you managed to get enough merit to climb the rankings.

I don't have the exact same experience as you, that's because I bought from my own hard work. In the end the goal seems to be the same, the bitcoin that I have had is my investment for the long term.

Of course someone's experience in investing in bitcoin will not be the same, the goal remains the same for the long term. and what you say is true, I am very lucky to know this forum so I can invest in bitcoin. It's true, I'm not as lucky as you. When you first learn about Bitcoin, you can immediately buy Bitcoin from the results of your hard work, because you already have free money to invest in Bitcoin. Well, if I don't have a stable income, I can't buy bitcoin, because in this forum we learn how to invest in bitcoin wisely by using money that is ready to be lost and not using borrowed money.

Sometimes I also feel sorry for the rich people around me, they have quite stable finances but don't invest in bitcoin. I don't know if they are still afraid or what, but what is clear is that they will regret it if they know the benefits of bitcoin but don't invest in bitcoin.

Lack of information and knowledge is certainly the main cause - but how sure are you that they are not investing in other assets?
I am 100% sure that rich people definitely have investments in several instruments. They don't have to and are obliged to invest in something they don't know about like bitcoin - so you don't need to worry about them because I think they are already richer than some beginner bitcoin investors.

If you care about them and still want to enrich them with bitcoin investment opportunities - open their eyes and teach them about bitcoin. You can set yourself up as a mentor to them - but many rich people will be skeptical of bitcoin when it's first introduced.
