I was reading through forum posts as usual and then I saw a post in Bitcoin discussion thread that the person was asking about the biggest Bitcoin giveaway in history and NotATether replied him that it was Gavin's faucet I quickly clicked it and saw he was giving out 5 Bitcoin for free and this thing happened in 2010 when Bitcoin had no value now just imagine how much that 5 Bitcoin is now, you have calculators you can calculate it using the current Bitcoin price, right now no one can give that number of Bitcoin for free to just a random person it's very difficult for such things to happen now.
Then there where people that got the 5 free Bitcoin distributed by Gavin's faucet and some may have just decided to hold and now is something very valuable.
Again pooya87 said in 2009 people could mine bitcoin blocks using only your CPU and get the 50 bitcoin reward for each block you'd have found and that is true.
I'm just trying to show you all how long Bitcoin has come and that there was a time getting Bitcoin was much more easier than it is now and then also telling everyone here that a time will come when Bitcoin will more difficult to get than it is now Because of it's high price and wider adoption so be consistent and accumulate as much as you can and then hold.

As much as I agree with every thing you have said, it's still very important for us all to know that those days when bitcoin seemed easy to get can not be compared to this present days we are currently, bitcoin have become way more easier to get this days compared to those days, but minus all of this exchanges we have today, do you know that getting bitcoin in the past would be more than x1000 easier than it is to get bitcoin today?, now imagine that the only way to get bitcoin was to mine it, how many of us can afford to the machinary and other tools required to mine bitcoin?

And in the future, so will this difficulty continue to increase but with the help of exchanges which are already present, getting access to bitcoin would be even easier than it is now, but only thing is that it will be expensive and those with money can always buy the amount their money can afford.

There are moments when we forget that anything that makes our lives easier today was not easy to come by and it did not come borne overnight. Technically it is available to many people more than ever, I agree, however, we should not overlook the fact that its price and exclusivity have grown tremendously. People could only mine in limited quantity in the past since they did not have lots of equipment but money has become the problem because now it is not an issue where people lack equipment, but people only lack money to buy it. We have to understand that now both information and strategy are required by any person willing to play some role in the crypto world. We have left the exploration phase and entered the selection one. And when you continue to believe that this is the first chance you have, you can be lagging behind. However, we can not leave out of the experience as long as we understand how to ride in this tsunami.
