Here’s another way that digital currency Bitcoin could have a big impact, according to startup BitWall: it could give online publishers a real alternative to putting up paywalls or relying solely on ads for revenue.

The argument for micropayments is probably familiar to most of you: You may not want to pay a big subscription fee but might be willing to shell out a little bit of money to read an article that interests you. Yet the idea has never really taken off with online publishers.

Bitcoin is not intended for micro payment due to fees.

What about the free faucets then  :)

These giving hundreds of satoshi, but adding balance until payment can be send to you

This is a waste of time, like people watching ads on TV for free for hours.
