Therefore, one of the ways to acquire bitcoins is to have individuals give them to you.
However, even if you want to get bitcoins from someone, you must first meet someone who has bitcoins.
Off-line meetings and meetups are effective places to get to know people who have bitcoins.
One of the most popular meetups is the Tokyo Bitcoin Conference.

Obtaining Bitcoins by Mining
The fifth and final way to acquire bitcoins is through mining.
Bitcoin and other virtual currencies use a technology called blockchain.
The blockchain is made up of blocks of information about all past transactions, which are written and shared in a ledger.
The process of approving and writing the transaction records is called mining.
Mining requires the use of a hash function to turn the transaction records into hash values and then write them into blocks.
By doing this work, you get bitcoins for it.
This process is called mining, as it is analogous to digging up bitcoins from the ground.
There is an article on how to mine easily, so please refer to it.

If you are a beginner and are unsure of which method is best for you, try using the most orthodox exchanges.
