I am working on making my first purchase of Bitcoin (via Coinbase), but don't currently possess any at the moment.
According to one book I have read, a few websites would essentially give away bitcoins to help those new to the Bitcoin world. Unfortunately, the two sites given are no longer active.
Am I too late to the Bitcoin party to get any Bitcoin from anywhere? Before I make my purchase via Coinbase(planning on buying 1BTC), I'd like to experience receiving, sending, spending, etc... a little bit and get familiar with how my wallet program (Electrum) functions.
If there are no websites that provide this service, would anyone be willing to send a Satoshi, or two? Or, would those get eaten up as fees by miners?
Thanks for any help/advice,
Faj
Trust me. Even though bitcoin is alot higher now in price, Bitcoin and other crypto are still VERY VERY young. For now, I suggest trying out faucets (you can google that on your own); and while you're at it, stay active here in this forum. After a while you will be eligible to join ad campaigns wheread you can earn a bit more bitcoin. You get knowledge, you get bitcoin. Win-win.
