Is getting one Bitcoin impossible now
Not impossible generally but depending on your financial situation it could
or could not be.
Think about how you can come up with $120,000 and how quickly you can get it.
Personally I believe for the majority of people its out of reach and as the value
increases it increases quicker than people can
aquire acquire BTC1
Is there a way to get it for free like in the past?
Nope, all those hundreds of BTC giveaways have dried up many years ago.
It was possible to throw thousands of Bitcoin out to whoever wanted them when
the value was only cents.
