I started the discussion about the faucets in the section for the beginner because this is something what beginners usually do if they are not born as miners and let us be fair, not everybody is born for mining. Facets help to understand how it work with the wallet. They are not worthless for about one week or two, if you are new to the topic BTC. After one or two weeks everybody know they are boring and worthless. But in my logic facets owner should be interested in people visiting faucets and not trying to annoy them. Apparently facet owners don't care about the visitors because the visitors number will never end. Every day new people discover BTC and the faucets and then they go away and so on.
If the amount of the websites which is annoying and not trustworthy is bigger than the amount of the site which are trustworthy, than we may have a problem. The con artist of this world who had specialised of the Internet are doing well, that is for sure and no one can stop them. Everything you can do in $, you can do in BTC now and even easier and faster with an anonymous payment.
Bitcoin faucets are trying to punish me for visiting them with a tremendous amount of Ads, most of them jumping out of the blue. My eyes don't want ot visit any more. It is not just annoying, it seems very unhealthy for the eyes. I seem to be one of the less visitor and still, they want me out or not?
The whole problem is that he was acting in bad faith as he turned assets into BTC. Even is the law is not the same, the judges all over the world do not like this kind of behaviour. At the end it does not matter if he was buying gold or BTC.
