Building bitcoin with gitian-builder

00README.md

This is obsolete, since Bitcoin Core has moved to a more modern build system.

    # First run:
    apt-get install apt-cacher python-vm-builder
    vi /etc/default/apt-cacher # ensure autostart is enabled
    sudo service apt-cacher start

    git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git

    cd gitian-builder

I think Bitcoin Core moved to Guix based builds

I believe so too, but found this gist linked from https://gitian.org/.

Oh, my dream is to fly to Miami. Now I am only at the initial stage of my acquaintance with investments and trade. By the way, I found a good article https://tabtrader.com/articles/top-10-bitcoin-scams therefore, for newcomers, I recommend reading it. I hope I find out how it works and save enough money for life.
