I first found out about Bitcoin reading a blog post about it online if I remember right. I was not interested in mining or trading crypto currencies so I focused on using it as a means of digital money and of course for investment because I had heard its value would keep increasing.
I am interested in bitcoin and try to get it, it was very difficult. I tried to get just from faucet. I even difficult to get 0.001 within a week. until at last there was a giveaway of stellar. I get a result that is high enough. I used to be very confused with how transactions were confirmed, and was always confused between miners and those who ran nodes. Over time I started learning most of it from Bitcoin wiki's and on reddit.
Yes apart from faucet it is nearly impossible to earn bitcoins now a days, when I first came into bitcoins I bought them for real money and that time the price was cheap and till date today i regret why I sold them at a lower price. Hope the buyers now don't sell this asset at a cheap price.
