Actually yes at Jay. We can see how many people are trying to be smart in their investment for their own Good and sometimes they overamart themselves by looking for a place to earn free bitcoin. But I can tell you that there is no place to earn free bitcoin apart from this forum.
You are wrong. I want you to understand that there is no place you can earn free bitcoin, even in this forum. This forum was developed by Satoshi so that people who are interested in bitcoin can gain good knowledge about bitcoin and not earn free bitcoin. As time goes on with the traffic this forum is generating, people notice if they advertise their brand or product here; they will attract people who can make use of their brand or product, and they decide to launch a signature campaign with some reputable members of this forum who have positioned themselves to become managers, which will allow any member of this forum that is accepted into any signature campaign to get paid in bitcoin while posting in the forum, and if you don't meet up with your weekly quote, no manager will pay you for that week.
You are right, the initial purpose of Satoshi on the forum was not to distribute free Bitcoins but rather create a medium where discussion of Bitcoins can influence the decision of members towards directing them to ways in which they can earn passive income through the opportunities that come with Bitcoin. So, indirectly the forum creates wider opportunities, and every intention has been fulfilled. All thanks to Theymos who initiated other things in the forum that have kept the forum running to date.
Permit me to say sorry for using the word "
free" even though I have explained myself but I see many people are still repeating it.
but if there where no campaign in this forum do you know many people would not have taken this forum seriously? Even myself. People would have go to a random site and asked how to invest in bitcoin and learn that without have been participating regular here. This avenue created another opportunity to Earn bitcoin which can be invested at ease, making DCA investment easy for those that has side husslle. that is the aspect I call it free but don't mean it to be totally free.
Because even if the forum where just to learn and contribute just like Satoshi dream, you would have as well posted quality without being paid. But thanks to theymos for introduced alot of thing that made here a benefit for all.
Just to clarify you that signature campaigns made the forum become more interesting but that doesn't mean that if there were no signature campaign that there wouldn't have been much participation in the forum. If you make out time to take a look at the forum thoroughly you will know that there are active users who do not care about signature campaigns but their activity in the forum is even way higher than those in signature campaigns, JJG is a typical example of the users am talking about.
I think signature campaigns also helped forum members to be able to acquire and earn bitcoins without necessarily using Fiats to purchase it because there are countries that converting the value of their currency to bitcoin, it cost them a lot. Using signature campaign earnings to DCA is a very easy and convenient way to HODL bitcoins but we should not depend so much on signature campaign earnings to DCA because since they are not guaranteed to last forever, if it ends that means your accumulation using the DCA ends as well, that is why it is important to have a major source of income in real life so that it can help assist you in your accumulation stage such that even if signature campaign ends, you have a backup plan to continue your DCA with. For someone earning from signature campaign, you can even practice using part of it for DCA combined with your discretionary income.
