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 received a nice tip of a whole Bitcoin, back when the price was close to $4/btc for the first time.
Trading BTC/USD was very exciting back then, and I made more than 5x profit over the next several months. Later, I spent them not expecting the eventual huge rallies above $32.
My first bitcoin was when I starting playing minecraft back in 2012; there was a server issuing out $10 in bitcoins to every player who reached the block placing/mining limit. The server is still up and running till today but the bitcoin funds are about to run out soon.
