Yea, i guess they are free bitcoins, but they are fking little ammounts
If the price goes us like many enthusiasts think they will... those fking little amounts are going to be fking big amounts
Back in the latter part of 2011 some sites and people would think nothing of giving away 1 or 2 BTC.
Some sites had prizes and jackpots at 5 and even as much as 10 BTC at times.
Coinbase was giving away 0.10 BTC in their promotional referral program.
If many people used your referral link you could get a fair amount of BTC. There are many other examples...
and people would complain back then about the small amounts given out here and there.
Those amounts are not quite as small now, and that was less than 2 years ago.
When people complain about the small amounts that are given away for free I just smile.

Of course it isn't about making lots of money from free sites:
What good is it if one only gets very very small amounts?
