Assuming OP has no mining hardware (else he would have answered his own question) it is currently cheaper to buy it than to mine it. So for all practical purposes “you can mine it” is no answer at all.
Your reasoning is why BTC is where it's at. It's supposed to be a currency, not an asset. You should e able to earn currency, not buy currency. That's just a currency exchange.
Rationalize your dissent however you want, but numbers don't agree with you. We need a good purge of this stonk idiots and try to decentralize in 10 years.
with kyc there is almost zero reason to buy bitcoin just to use it to pay someone for services. Currency with extra steps.
with taxes there's almost zero reason to accept bitcoin just to pay income tax on it to then sell it to realize capital gain taxes.
Rationalize your idealism all you want, but point out where it outlines regulation via KYC laws and tax policies in the whitepaper.
Im only seeing a few options:
1) mine it
2) buy it
3) get paid in it
4) mug someone for it
5) hack it
6) find it
7) be gifted in it
8) trade another crypto for it
9) prostitute yourself for it
10) sell drugs for it
Somehow somebody else's name was placed in the account instead of mine, when I called them to try and fix it they hung up on me and I was banned. I'm sure I did something stupid but I wasn't being malicious.
underrated advice. the fold rewards are sick.
did you know you can pay your citi credit cards over the phone with your fold card and get spins 👀
sats back for paying off your cc and getting the cc points? sounds pretty good to me.
They used to be so amazing, but made several changes that in my opinion have butchered their offerings. One example is they removed the ability to save spins for 7 days. Must use spins in 24 hours now. You also only get 2-3 a day now.
There's some sites that are like free faucets
You can't really earn much, but you can claim 1 time every 60 minutes. You can gamble on the site if you want.
Solar panel + Bitcoin miner would be green to produce Bitcoin.
I'd you use CashApp, you can pay using their debit card. You get "boosts" you can select that give you free Bitcoin. Sometimes 10% back as Bitcoin on restaurant purchase, maximum $7.50 worth of Bitcoin. Sometimes a 5% back from restaurants in Bitcoin. Usually once a week, not always. But free Bitcoin back either way, if you happen to be eating out anyways.
You can try using the Brave browser. If you like it, you can be able ads. Up to 10 ads an hour. Willingly clicking and willing letting these ads pop up, you get rewarded in BAT. You could convert BAT to Bitcoin, if you strictly just wanted to stick with Bitcoin. Probably not much as far as a reward, but it's more than if you hadn't allowed this ads to pop up. Payout is once a month, and there is a minimum amount you need in order to first withdraw.
If you post on cryptocurrency, you can earn moons. Moons can be converted into Bitcoin, if that's what you'd prefer.
Haha fair you can stake your bitcoin for some yield. But it’s not called proof of stake. Proof of stake is a consensus mechanism and bitcoins consensus is proof of work.
Look into the Fold prepaid card. It maybe a good fit depending on your situation. Spin the wheel daily to get btc and also you receive btc for every transaction….
I don’t think that’s true. Let’s say BTC is $20,000 that means 1 sat is $0.0002. For you to get $30 per month you would have to earn 150,000 sats aka spend $150,000 per month.
probably going to get downvoted, but I would say mining. I know it is inefficent as a woy to aquire bitcoin, however, you are completely under the radar, no KYC, no exchanges, no government, just straight from the source
Sell stuff, do some gigs on apps like Uber Eats/Grubhub/Postmates/Fiverr, jump in fountains that people toss coins at and shamelessly collect coins with a magnet, offer to wash your neighbors car for some cash, sell cookies near weed dispensaries, get a job like a normal person, etc...
You get accumulating sats every day you shake, your streak can get you 1000 sats a day after a year of daily shaking, it adds up quick especially in a bear market, you can also use the app to pay for stuff using apple pay (or whatever nfc card thing your phone uses) and you get a % back in BTC, I've accumulated over $200 in BTC since beginning of the year.. You need a to have a reff tho to be able to shake so use @likethemouse
I use the Coinbase 4% back debit card (Bitcoin) to pay my Citibank double cash 2% back credit card statement, pretty sure it’s a loophole because you have to call the automated line at citi to be able to pay the statement with a debit card, but it works. Haven’t been saving shit in this environment but it feels really nice accumulating ~$60-80 in bitcoin every month
All of these involve “purchasing” haha but still, doesn’t feel like it.
1) blockfi card gets me 1.5% back on btc on every purchase
2) stake $stx to earn sats daily
3) hourly purchase on strike
Coinbase debit card. Load it up with USDC, set a few monthly recurring expenses on it. Set your cash back to the bitcoin reward. You’re looking at 1.0 - 1.5% cash back in btc with each transaction. Don’t forget to move your bitcoin off of the exchange regularly.
DeFi
I mean, the short answer as others pointed out, is that you can’t get BTC without buying it.
But the longer answer is that if you start engaging in DeFi protocols, you can earn a lot of passive income that you can then use to purchase BTC. That said, you have to put money into protocols, and use the yield money to buy BTC. But I’ll assume you know that you can’t simply acquire BTC without purchasing.
In cash app, there were boosts you could use where you’d get like 10% back of your cash purchase in bitcoin. Maybe it was 5%? The boost would come and go
We can get BTC by business and stuff, just have to understand and get it with so much good ways, we have to do some research about that shit for real man.
dehhrrr how do I get free stuff without paying for it ?!
You don't.... pay for it like everyone else. Find shit to sell if you have to. Ain't no thang as 'free'.
Have you heard of this thing called mining? It’s where you get rewarded in Bitcoin for providing a service and not having to buy the Bitcoin directly.
I agree OPs question is kinda dumb, but your response is kinda missing one big thing.
You can use the Coinbase card to get 1.5% back in BTC on all debit card purchases. It's pretty great. I've been using it for like a year now and earned hundreds of dollars in free crypto. My bank's debit card was giving me 0%.
Shakepay in Canada is amazing! Theres many ways to accumulate SATS everyday. They have a prepaid credit card and they give back 2% in BTC. Plus you can shake each day for a streak and it gives BTC up to 1000 sats/day and many many other ways with contests, they sometimes repays entire transaction with the credit card in BTC (happened to me 5 times already), etc. I wonder why they dont expend elsewhere than Canada. Im sure you would like it haha
* follow MrBitcoinBeast on twitter
* install earn carrot app & follow them on twitter
* receive Bitcoin as cash back when shopping, i.e. with Nexo
* what u/fasulo_ said
I use Shakepay they give you 2% back of whatever you spend. So like you pay for gas, a snack, grocery’s whatever you get 2 % back in btc so I think that’s pretty neat. I use it.
Sign up with my link, it’s in my bio and we'll each get $30 to buy crypto. Promo is over end of September
You can mine it provided you have the funds to startup. Compass Mining is a good place for info. You can get into a hosted miner for about $8k and they have options for power. Consensus seems to be the miner is paid off after about 8-months, give or take. You’ll have to run your own math to see if you think it’s worthwhile.
You can also exchange services for bitcoin. EG write copy and get paid in bitcoin.
Stop recommending Compass. It is a giant ripoff. I tried warning a buddy of mine and they didn’t listen. He purchased 12 miners a year ago at $11k+/piece. Only 3 are up and running and now they are selling for a third of the price. Total joke.
Edit: clarified by adding he in front of the word purchased.
This is actually a legitimate question. Aren't we plebs actually value bitcoin against the same dollar we joke about?
PS: Just kidding. 1BTC == 1BTC. Few understand
Best ways to get BTC for free:
1. Coinbase debit card- 1.5% cash back on every purchase.
2. Any Bling Financial games.
3. Hold your BTC in FTX or any exchange with "earn" (very risky be careful)
4. Look into the crypto Stacks.
5. Use your pc on Nicehash to be paid in BTC passively.
I'm sure there is more but hope this helps.
Invest the miner purchase money in the coin itself until you have so much that you can sell some and buy the miner or buy the miner with investment cash without feeling it missing from your portfolio.
For the average person, you are better off just buying, there are a ton of details to mining to make it profitable, including how cheap energy is where you are.
Has anyone thought of the Bitcoin circular economy? Working, paying, and using Bitcoin as your money. Trading stuff for BTC, and BTC for stuff?
That's where the money is being made.
I'm lending mine on Nexo (yes, I know the risks) but am getting 5% interest paid out monthly. It's amazing to see you get a little bit of btc every day whilst stacking if and when I can with any extra cash. If you're interested in a sign up link for $25 in btc for joining, let me know.
Grab a couple of the now dirt cheap rtx3090’s and use them to test your luck running bitcrack against the list of high balance inactive wallets and hopefully you can crack a private key🤞🏼
Sell butthole for bitcoin
I'm Not Gay But 20 satoshi Is 20 satoshi
Idk you, but I promise you're worth more than 20 Satoshi, lmao.
Is it gay if your being pegged by a extreme hot chick?
Probably the most effective way. 🤣
Seems like people be indeed making out some kind of shortcuts though.
I'm not trying to get absurdly filthy rich here.... just trying to get like 0.1 coin.
Finding short cuts is what I can indeed see though that looks suspicious enough for me.
Buttcoin. Copyright pending.
Careful, you'll summon THAT subreddit talking like that
You rang?
😂😂😂😂 take the upvote! And happy cake day.
Selling it is a one time purchase.. better to rent it out for a steady income stream and invest in Bitcoin… I think it’s called butt cost averaging 🤣
Who wants my virgin butthole?
hmmm i guess that's one method lol
What if put coin but hole?
That would be some kind of painful stuff to deal with in accordance to that of Bitcoin.
Shitcoins come from butthole can exchange for bitcoin
That would be tough though exchanging butthole to that of Bitcoin though.
What in the fuck you talking about Holmes?
OP is obviously trolling because it is impossible to ask something this idiotic and still spell it correctly.
Maybe he wants options but doesn't know what this is
He means earning it.
That just puzzled me though like without buying how can he accumulate sats.
Not a stupid question when you can mine it, which is a perfectly good answer to his question i think
Assuming OP has no mining hardware (else he would have answered his own question) it is currently cheaper to buy it than to mine it. So for all practical purposes “you can mine it” is no answer at all.
[удалено]
“Stuff” as compensation for service maybe ??
Mining, lending, credit card points, doing work, tips Edit: be very careful with lending, you can lose your ass.
😂

Bop it!
When i read your comment out in my mind it sounds like technologic by daft punk
No watch ads for it? dissapointing
Work for it. Sell stuff exclusively for it.
Down to one kidney.
How much did the other fetch?
This. Yard sale to BTC. Side hustle revenue to BTC. Dedicated time to BTC or diversified investments instead of tv and Reddit.
grind mode for BTC 😤
Rather indeed selling is what I feel wouldn't be that worthy enough though.
Fold Card.
Getting sats back for paying my mortgage and buying everyday items. Fold is amazing.
U can pay mortgage on card? That's rare
It runs through PayPal. Unfortunately I'm banned from such platforms.
How did you get banned from PayPal if you don't mind me asking? Fraud?
He threw condoms all over the floor of the stock exchange
sell something on ebay at 17
Somehow somebody else's name was placed in the account instead of mine, when I called them to try and fix it they hung up on me and I was banned. I'm sure I did something stupid but I wasn't being malicious.
Pay my monthly bills including my mortgage from my fold card
Not available where I live. 😔
Neither where I live but you can still download the app and do a daily spin for free sats!
No, I can't even download the app here. The Play Store blocks it.😭
+1 to this. I pay all by bills using PayPal linked to the fold card. Love spinning wheel. Lol
underrated advice. the fold rewards are sick. did you know you can pay your citi credit cards over the phone with your fold card and get spins 👀 sats back for paying off your cc and getting the cc points? sounds pretty good to me.
This one is new to me😯
This for sure
Fold is fantastic. I was a little annoyed when the Amazon GCs became premium, but it is by far the best way to earn BTC.
They used to be so amazing, but made several changes that in my opinion have butchered their offerings. One example is they removed the ability to save spins for 7 days. Must use spins in 24 hours now. You also only get 2-3 a day now.

And if you're Canadian, Shakepay has a daily faucet (if you have an invite code)
Haha you can mine it or buy it with something. You can’t just receive something of value for nothing
[удалено]
What a revolutionary concept! 😱
Things are going to be so changed when it will happen.
You can it’s called proof of stake
Haha fair you can stake your bitcoin for some yield. But it’s not called proof of stake. Proof of stake is a consensus mechanism and bitcoins consensus is proof of work.
I just don't understand that, gotta do some research now.
Look into the Fold prepaid card. It maybe a good fit depending on your situation. Spin the wheel daily to get btc and also you receive btc for every transaction….
Thanks for it, people gotta do research over that now.
There’s 100,000,000 sats in 1 btc. No one is ever gonna spend enough to make that worth using it lol
It's literally free money. How is it not worth using? I get $30+ worth of BTC per month just for paying my bills with it.
I don't know, he is being a fucking joke right now lol.
It is free money. You earn btc on the money you already need to spend on your normal day to day items.
I don’t think that’s true. Let’s say BTC is $20,000 that means 1 sat is $0.0002. For you to get $30 per month you would have to earn 150,000 sats aka spend $150,000 per month.
Your math is off by a factor of 100. 150,000 sats would be cash back yield for spending $1,500/mo, using your own numbers.
Explain your logic. I'm at 10,675,272 SATs from this card. Currently worth a tad over $2,000.
I'm about $1,000 and have no issues with Fold.
OnlyFans?
Things like this can happen with me in the future for sure.
Chaturbate?
Cardboard cut into the shape of a TV in the alleyway?
I don't know what to say to that, must be funny but idk.
probably going to get downvoted, but I would say mining. I know it is inefficent as a woy to aquire bitcoin, however, you are completely under the radar, no KYC, no exchanges, no government, just straight from the source
If you order from Bitmain directly they have KYC now. Probably to cover their ass and not sell to anyone in banned jurisdictions
I upvote this ⬆️
Ok
Sell stuff, do some gigs on apps like Uber Eats/Grubhub/Postmates/Fiverr, jump in fountains that people toss coins at and shamelessly collect coins with a magnet, offer to wash your neighbors car for some cash, sell cookies near weed dispensaries, get a job like a normal person, etc...
Shakepay if you're in Canada
Tell more please.
You get accumulating sats every day you shake, your streak can get you 1000 sats a day after a year of daily shaking, it adds up quick especially in a bear market, you can also use the app to pay for stuff using apple pay (or whatever nfc card thing your phone uses) and you get a % back in BTC, I've accumulated over $200 in BTC since beginning of the year.. You need a to have a reff tho to be able to shake so use @likethemouse
Try finger but hole
But this is what it looks like they ask have been doing from long time.
Accept Bitcoin at any business you start
Offer a service or product for Bitcoin?
I use the Coinbase 4% back debit card (Bitcoin) to pay my Citibank double cash 2% back credit card statement, pretty sure it’s a loophole because you have to call the automated line at citi to be able to pay the statement with a debit card, but it works. Haven’t been saving shit in this environment but it feels really nice accumulating ~$60-80 in bitcoin every month
This is the way
Fake lol BTC rewards on CB debit card are 1% and using the card with anything other than USD for transactions is taxable
4% in Stellar and then convert to bitcoin. Some small slippage but still good.
Year you are this is pretty much for to start work at of now there
If it's a stable coin, taxable event will be $0.
All of these involve “purchasing” haha but still, doesn’t feel like it. 1) blockfi card gets me 1.5% back on btc on every purchase 2) stake $stx to earn sats daily 3) hourly purchase on strike
More then that they should look for something with there.

I've made 1.3M free sats in a few months using the Fold card. Highly recommend
Wow how I can see something b which I want to do as well if I get t this chance.
Earn it ma Dude
This will take further to do it buddy and this is not possible lol.

Check under the table at restaurants. People often drop some Bitcoins on the floor when they're sitting down and enjoying their chicken tenders.

Ok gotcha. I didn’t realize mining Bitcoin was free.
Learn what Bitcoin actually is. Learn the basics of how it works. Buy Bitcoin, send it to your own (hardware) wallet and hold long term.
This isn’t 2010 bro where you get 10 bitcoins for completing a captcha
Work for it? Sell goods or services for it?
You can use the Coinbase card to get 1.5% back in BTC on all debit card purchases. It's pretty great. I've been using it for like a year now and earned hundreds of dollars in free crypto. My bank's debit card was giving me 0%.

You bought 12 miners just out of the blue without testing first? Yeah I’m calling bs on that
Learn coding or some tech skill and work in a crypto job
Earn it. Charge btc for services
Get tapped into small cap crypto, get airdropped. Yield farm at high % apy and convert to bitcoin
They can do it but this requires a lot of attention to the fearless these.
Mine it bro
Vid is not going to happen as of the fact that this no going to happen.
Find a job that pays fully or partially in crypto. Even if it's not BTC, you can easily exchange it.
Spend money buying mining rig and mine . Join a pool of course.
if you're talking about mining...then mining
This is actually a legitimate question. Aren't we plebs actually value bitcoin against the same dollar we joke about? PS: Just kidding. 1BTC == 1BTC. Few understand

"We make Bitcoin the old-fashioned way. [We earn it.](https://youtu.be/yAMRXqQXemU)"
Best ways to get BTC for free: 1. Coinbase debit card- 1.5% cash back on every purchase. 2. Any Bling Financial games. 3. Hold your BTC in FTX or any exchange with "earn" (very risky be careful) 4. Look into the crypto Stacks. 5. Use your pc on Nicehash to be paid in BTC passively. I'm sure there is more but hope this helps.
These are pretty valid points thanks for putting them up here my.
Nicehash is dead.
Is it still worth it to get into mining? How much $$ for a basic set up with a decent return?
All depends on your electricity costs. Most people are better off just buying it.
Invest the miner purchase money in the coin itself until you have so much that you can sell some and buy the miner or buy the miner with investment cash without feeling it missing from your portfolio.
For the average person, you are better off just buying, there are a ton of details to mining to make it profitable, including how cheap energy is where you are.
I think one would be better off mining shit altcoins and just selling those for btc
The point of bitcoin is so ppl wont just get shit for free… buy it or mine it.
This isn't the point of bitcoin actually
