Yes, you have probably read such a comment many times so far. Especially some high forum ranked users are posting comments similar to that. Although i can not agree with it i, respect others opinion. Simply, some of us are faucet user and some are not. I personally met with bitcoin through faucets, and i still use them often since i am running a Xapo faucet list, therefore i am very active at this particular part of the forum. But why one would spend time reading topics here when they think it is a real waste of time? Is it possible that they are faucet owners but not active users, then why would someone shit where they eat?
I like faucets and i use them daily. I truly believe they are introducing a lot of new users to Bitcoin every single day.
faucets brought me a total of 0.1 btc for sure in this 5 years im doing it. Claiming! not ownling a faucet thats different. a good faucet will start to make money after 4/5 months but then you need to get your traffic stable so in the beginning its working with losses and hope you get them back in the end.. most faucets just dont live that long cause they dont know what they are doing
You are talking about past times, sure, whoever claimed from faucet 5 years ago made profit for sure and whoever bought bitcoin in 2009 for 100$ is now sitting on 200 million dollars. But it is wrong way of thinking!
The past time can repeat itself again. As you said, who bought Bitcoins in 2009 for $100 is now sitting on 200 million dollars. And who is using faucets now and accumulating their earnings can sit on a big fortune in some years. For who doesn't have money to buy Bitcoins or is too young to worry about earning real money to survive I think it's a good deal...
