Re: Earning BTC in a 3rd world country

Hello everyone!
i am new to BTC. I am from Pakistan and finding it hard to start with the BTC. Any useful information how to start from scratch if i am from a 3rd world county? Thanks a lot in advance.

You can try to start with faucet, once you have earn good, maybe gamble ..

Faucets are cent's per hour at most. Why suggest a person go into faucet? I don't see it making any money.

Can you show a faucet that gained even 3rd world earnings? And if it did.... how is gambling going to help?

Hmm, I'm from a third world country and I am a witness of newbie bitcoiners that were addicted to faucets. They seems like dedicated to it and post their respective (micro) "earnings" on Facebook (on a bitcoin related group). I once saw there's a proud faucet user that he earned 0.001 BTC in a week (and he seems happy with it) Grin

When they already earned something like 0.001 btc or above, they start posting on what "investment" site they can invest and grow their precious satoshis. Some also do gambling on casinos, but mostly they want investing on HYIPs/ponzis.

Faucets were gold to them.

That's because their hourly wages are so small that even that 0.001 BTC matters. Most westerners don't understand that in some countries 1USD per hour is a decent wage.

Its either their wage was so small or they no have job at all. There are a lot of unemployed people here on our country and I find most faucet users have no job in real life and they choose to play faucets than browsing Facebook and YouTube all day Cheesy

Some were also students looking to get extra money online in their spare time.

I don't know if I agree with students. If your talking about getting pennies per hour... that is small for most students. Even in third world countries I would think students have things better to do then get a few pennies a hour at most.

No matter how you justify it faucets do not pay enough for amount of time. Unless you can live on a very few cents a day.
