in the beginning I got bitcoin starting from the existence of a faucet and several other paid events using bitcoin a few years ago, because it was also people who started from bitcoin without capital at all and I was able to get many benefits from bitcoin
Yes, faucets was used to be a good source of free bitcoin, specially in the early years up to early 2017. I have taken advantage of that situation as well and together with signature campaigns, its a good way to start your trading journey. Faucets->Sig Campaigns->Trading and you're all set to start making money.
there are many other things besides the faucet, like airdrop and bounty. if you are able to take advantage of these things, of course you can produce bitcoin for free. well, many people start it like that, because of that many believe in bitcoin
faucet is very typical way to earn a coin for a newbie. bounty is the best thing to do but you really need to risk your time and effort for the project that might be a scam in the end,.
