⚡The Definitive Bitcoin Acquisition Tier List (From Sovereign Stackers to Fiat Clowns)
A+ — Earn it.
Sell goods or services for #bitcoin. Pure, sovereign, uncut sats straight from people who actually value your time.
A — P2P Cash Trades.
Handshakes over handshakes. Just pray your new “freedom-loving friend” isn’t wearing a wire.
A- — nostr:npub1gdfr0r0an32jalqryqlvpn3gsef2hu832wv6kp5p2gt2aqa2n8yqd42ffw / nostr:npub1sqn6rpml88nq8khuvvneuqztfmvalpsarr8grkwy837hzdw63ajs6t5net
Anonymous trades online. Like Tinder for Bitcoin - except when it works, it actually feels good.
B+ — Mining at Home.
Turn electricity into freedom. Sounds like a jet engine, feels like victory.
B — Getting Paid in BTC.
Your boss thinks it’s edgy. You know it’s monetary evolution.
B- — No-KYC Exchanges (HodlHodl, etc.)
Solid privacy play. Just don’t cry if the site disappears mid-trade.
C+ — Buying from Friends/Family.
Trust-based, but holidays get weird when you’re the only one who sold the top.
C — Bitcoin ATMs.
Like a vending machine that hates you. 15% fee for the privilege of convenience.
C- — Gift Cards → BTC.
Feels like laundering your own allowance. 10/10 for creativity though.
D+ — “No-KYC” CEXs.
If it sounds too good to be true, it’s probably run by a guy named Vlad.
D — Mining Pools.
You’re “helping the network” but mostly just donating hash to a corporation with better lawyers.
D- — Bitcoin ETFs.
You don’t own Bitcoin. You own a picture of someone else’s Bitcoin.
F+ — Gambling Sites.
Win big or lose everything. Either way, you’ll have a story (and no sats).
F — Begging for Sats.
“Plz zap me.” Bold strategy, Cotton.
F- — Coinbase / Binance.
Hand over your ID, privacy, and dignity. You now officially own government-approved Bitcoin. Congrats, stacker.
