acquiring bitcoin

okay so i see a lot of people on here have a shit ton of bitcoins but i can't even get myself $1 worth.. for example i saw a thread where a guy lost 41 bitcoins...THATS $20K+!!!

I was wondering if anybody could help me out with mining, earning bitcoins?
Uhm that's basically asking for money.. But how about search around the giveaway services or how about sell things and convert them from paypal to BTC or something. Search around buddy nobody will just give you money..

Do you just want to buy some? If so go to www.coinbase.com if your in the US.

You CAN NOT mine bitcoins these days due to the difficulty unless you have custom hardware which I know you don't because you wouldn't be asking these questions if you did.

If you have a decent graphics card I suggest you mine an alt coin such a vertcoin (VTC) for example and then trade your vertcoins into bitcoins on an exchange such as www.cryptsy.com.

any other good ways besides mining, for example like high paying faucets, bugs, etc?
I wouldn't recommend mining, and buying a rig until you actually know all about crypto.
Do your research.

You may wanna start off by earning some via odd jobs, or faucets.
Then move onto gambling, and testing your luck.

You can earn BTC by selling your stuff in Marketplace.

faucets earn you pennies.

But seriously. You're essentially just asking how to make money easily. There is no easy way, plain and simple

You can sign up to: www.cryptothrift.com and sell stuff there for BTC & LTC

The best way to earn using bitcoins is, just start mining an alternate cryptocurrency and trade for bitcoins in cryptsy, and you can start making money easily.
