Today marks my 1-year journey with Bitcoin and assorted other crypto-currencies. It also marks the day that my wallet amount finally has hit .1 BTC.

While it doesn't sound like much, I got there without spending a dime of my own money. How did I get there?

A friend referred me to a BTC faucet (now defunct) which gave me my first 25000 satoshi. I then proceeded to make some (very fortunate) early trades (GRC / DOGE) that took my total well over 100k satoshi within the two weeks. I then proceeded to utilize the lending feature on my exchange with any funds that I wasn't currently trading with.

Buy low, sell high. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hopefully by this time next year I'll be one of 21 million. Any questions?
