When I first heard about Bitcoin I had no idea what it is. With little background in computer science most of it was over my head for a long time. I was very interested though I felt like it could turn into something big! My situation at the time limited my options. I had just recently got divorced and was having legal troubles and generally broke. So I did what most people do, I hit the faucets! After a few months of spending almost all my free time I had enough to deposit into an exchange and start trading! I of course decided on the ill fated cryptsy 😂! After many hours of hitting all types of faucets and making micro trades I was able to build my account to around $50 from a mere $.26. I than discovered Poloinex and migrated most of the major coins there. Shortly after cryptsy was hacked and I lost everything that was on there. I'm still going strong on Poloinex and have slowly been building my BTC as my situation has allowed. In short I hope this inspires anyone to pursue this if they are interested! Don't let anything stand in your way! All it takes is some time and willing to learn new things.

 How much time did you spend on faucets to make $50?  I'm not too inspired yet.
How many sites that were advertised on those faucet sites did you go to?  How many advertised products did you actually purchase?  Do you even remember ONE advertiser?
I feel that faucet sites are merely a mechanism for laundering money stolen from advertisers.  The new faucet business model is shady and while I would like to see bitcoin being utilized by more people, I personally hope your post doesn't inspire anyone to pursue income from faucets.

The ads content on faucets are of user interest, relatively to what he searchs over the internet. It's the same ads you see when you access a news site, a online shop site, etc... And if you have interest on that ads you will click. I don't believe it's stolen money from advertisers. It's just a site advertising stuff and giving small rewards in BTC.

In a sense, the saying " Money makes Money " is very true for many people. It takes a very innovative mind and a hard working person

to fight against all odds to get to the top. Using faucets to get there, is only one step, albeit the worst step to take to get there. I would

have gone out and get a second job to buy my starter bitcoins, and then work from there. The faucet method is VERY slow and not very

effective. { Faucets are not FREE money }  Roll Eyes

I spent a few months of hitting different faucets and figuring everything out. I was working three jobs at the time so the only resources I had were my phone and some time. I would have rather just bought the BTC and gone straight to trading. This method is appropriate for people with no start up money or technical knowledge to mine etc. It could introduce it to the poor  that are able to have an internet connection through a phone or cafe etc.

 So you haven't seen the myriad of poor already here farming accounts for sig campaigns and looking for faucets to pump?  Some of them cut and paste because their English is so bad.  Honestly, you don't need to promote your method.

It would be interesting if you could share how you have been slowly building from that 50 usd on poloniex. This is what may help others to do the same.

It is always nice to see some stories of building something out of nothing. It helps others to stay motivated in doing so!

Interesting story,and i appreciate your effort reaching 50USD through faucets can take a huge lot of time and effort,because when i was a starter spent alot of time faucting and collecting even 1USD was really difficult.But i will say you have still along way to go,sorry but this is nothing that special,i think as a computer science student you should provide some of your skills online like programming to increase your earning oportunities online.

If you have a hard work you can get your goal if you are just lazy you can not get any amount.. being a hardworker can give you a good result in the future.. the more you save or make profit after you build i hope that you can scale up so that you can not stay long in the computer once you get your goal.. always target your goal.. honestly if you are first timer collecting bitcoin that you earning it can push more your self  that you want to earn more.. but depends if what country you live.. i think for some poor countries those people are looking for extra income are willing to earn even a small amount from the start until they discover to earn more online that they can save for their future..

I'm going to have to ask you to clarify your statement... Do you mean to say your account was hacked on Cryptopia? As the owner of Cryptopia I can assure you that we have not been hacked and any claim otherwise is an outright lie.

Im a  little bit touched on your  story hence i was  a newbie  before  and do really have  a hard time   on achieving  and earning  bitcoin. Faucets would really give  us only small amounts  and  also  it would really take  time and effort  to earn with it and  im amazed  that you  able to grow your faucet earning  on some exchanges  which is  somehow a good way on inspiring some   people  with these kind  of situation.

My sincere apologies I ment Cryptsy. I also frequent your site and have a lot of admiration for what you have built. I heavily partook in some herbal recreation today so that's what I'm blaming the error on 😂

Op, I can't figure you out. Do you realize the amount of time you wasted sucking faucets and trading with peanuts? Instead you could just find a job.

Even the most useless job will bring you much more than faucet level of income, then - if you are really keen of cryptocurrency trading you could do it more efficiently.

edit: I misread that you lose your money in Bitfinex hack but it was actually Cryptsy. So I guess you won't see your money ever again...

Plus, your jobs must had been pretty much a disaster since you still preferred to earn bitcoin via faucets.

Do your math and stop wasting time. Also I heard that Bitfinex will be returning stolen money to its customers in the future. You still might receive your coins back.


i cant figure YOU out... o wait, your just sig whoring...

OP, THESE are the people you will encounter here, people that dont even READ what you say, but just respond BS to get paid for their sig :/

1: He said he worked THREE jobs, your advice: "faucetz is dumb, should have FOUND a job"  WHEN did he have the time between his other THREE jobs?
2: WHEN did he EVER say anything about Bitfnex?

bah, you sig whores are KILLING this forum...

$50 from faucet alone is a big achievement, considering the amount of time needed to reach that amount. 2 years back, when i was starting learning about bitcoins, also started doing some faucets spends 10-12 hours claiming, and promoting different faucets. and getting around 500,000 Sats per day from referral comm alone from many faucets. but now less people are doing faucets because some people are creating a false impression that faucets are not profitable anymore

Wrong impression is not created against faucets,it seems to be profitable to certain extent to the beginners but when they gain knowledge about digital currency as well bitcoin earning through faucets seems to be a waste of time, because the earning is not that good for the time spend upon faucets. So as few quoted trying for a day job is better.
