You understood that Bitcoin was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A game-changer that will have incredible importance in the world of the future. After realizing this, you want to buy Bitcoin to protect the fruits of your labor in the world's most secure decentralized network.
That's only natural. However, there's a problem. You don't have an initial investment to buy Bitcoin. Sure, you can start buying $10 to $20 worth of BTC each week by adopting the same DCA buying strategy followed by Michael J. Saylor since August 2020, but you want more BTC.
You'll find yourself in the same situation as everyone else who understands the importance of Bitcoin for the future. You want to accumulate more and more BTC for the future. Contrary to what you might think, there is a way to accumulate more BTC without an initial investment. And I'm not talking about some kind of scam, but something completely legal.
4 ways to acquire Bitcoin
Before we get to that in detail, I think it's important to remember how you can acquire BTC:
By exchanging fiat money for BTC.
Becoming a miner on the Bitcoin network, so that you can get a share of the reward allocated to miners finding the next block.
Selling goods for BTC.
Asking to be paid in BTC for your work.
Of the four ways to get Bitcoin, the first three require an initial investment. To exchange fiat money for BTC, you need to have some initial capital. To become a miner on the Bitcoin network, you need to have equipment available. This mining equipment is worth a lot of money. To sell goods for BTC, you must already have some that you can dispose of and that are valuable.
In short, your best bet for getting Bitcoin without an initial investment is to ask to be paid in BTC for your work.
Asking to be paid in Bitcoin for your work is the best option
As we are in 2022, more and more employers are willing to pay you in Bitcoin. It's even going to become a differentiating argument that more and more employers will put forward in the future to attract workers. In any case, you don't risk anything by asking for it at least when the question of compensation is going to come up with your clients or your boss. At worst, you will get a “no” answer. It will then be up to you to decide whether you want to look for another opportunity or accept to be paid in fiat currency and use it to buy BTC.
By getting paid in Bitcoin for a service today, you are making a winning bet on the future. In the future, Bitcoin price is bound to rise sharply.
Let's imagine that you charged $1,000 to a customer on March 10, 2013. With that money in your bank account today, you would only have the equivalent of $788:
Your $1,000 earned in March 2013 would have lost 21.2% of its value in just 9 years.
Now let's imagine that you have found a client willing to pay you in Bitcoin at that time. I am well aware that not many customers knew about Bitcoin on March 10, 2013. But for my demonstration, I ask you to imagine it. On March 10, 2013, Bitcoin's price was around $50. The customer would have sent you 20 BTC as payment for your service.
As I write this, the price of Bitcoin is $39K. The 20 BTC paid by your customer on March 10, 2013, therefore represents $780K. Of course, you would have had to resist the urge to sell in December 2013 when the price of Bitcoin reached $1,000 for the first time. But if you had already understood the reason for Bitcoin at the time, you might have been able to resist the temptation.
This example shows you why getting paid in Bitcoin for your work is a great idea. You're making a winning bet on the future since Bitcoin is bound to rise sharply. I'll let you imagine what could happen to the fruits of your labor if you decide to do this in 2022 and remain a Bitcoin HODLer until at least 2030.
Final Thoughts
If very few people were aware of the incredible opportunity that Bitcoin represented for the future in 2013, you are aware of it in 2022. So it's up to you to adopt this strategy that will allow you to accumulate Bitcoin without any initial investment. This will require some work on your part, but you can imagine that getting Bitcoin for nothing in return is not realistic.
Only hard work and effort pay off in life, so it's up to you to make the right choice. The advantage of Bitcoin is that it will protect your hard work and effort over time so you can live your life on your own terms.
