the thing is, at that moment nobody even knew bitcoin can be worth >$2000! you may have said bitcoin is awesome and can rise up a lot but it certainly didn't look possible when price was practically nothing. after some point when the little adoption occurred and the community grew, the number of nodes and miners (with their PC) grew then it became clear that bitcoin has a real potential. I think somewhere around $100 it was certain. I wasn't around back then but I certainly know it now and I will never repeat the mistake of selling my coins cheap at $3000 that would be throwing it away. nothing below 10K for me. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Well, times are a changing and things that would have been worth a ton now didn't seem like it back then. To be fair, it probably did help to spread Bitcoin during the initial phases and if everyone knew how valuable Bitcoin would end up being they likely would have completely skipped on the growth portion and just held their investment, turning it into just a series of bubbles.

Yeah , I agreed with you , Here I myself made 6000$ in the 8 months hardwork of the signature campaign and bulk trading but in the last day I made 12000$ in btc just in 24 hours ( or less ) . I think this is like a miracle that I made this much amount of the Bitcoin earning profit , because in the starting I was weeping with my hardwork for the 1-2$ but in present I made this huge amount of profit just by the wait and do nothing . Well here I Cames to know about the Bitcoin fully that wait for one year and I don't need to do hardwork more and just make money by the wait and wait with patience . Here I am again thinking that the condition of the ETH is like Bitcoin , so here it would be more better to have eth also for the future , because ETH and dash are only two which can be comparable in the future against Bitcoin .

I really feel sorry that I only know bitcoin when it's at $ 900, BITCOIN is too strong, if I invested in it since it was born, maybe, now I'm very rich. And now, it's still a good place to invest, take advantage of it.

I can relate to these newbies running to exchanges and buying a few bucks or a hundred of every single shitcoin out there just in case if few years from now they could become millionaires.
Don't forget if you are paying 0.0009 as a fee for 225 bytes of data ten years from now that amount could potentially worth $50 or even more who knows.
Many believed they could successfully clone and repeat Bitcoin but as you can see they're just some sad sorry coins sitting around exchanges
Waiting for new blood to suck it dry out of life, and if you try to think about these things then I could say I wish I thought about facebook idea myself now I would be rich.

And now, it's still a good place to invest, take advantage of it. Exactly, it's never too late to invest in it because the same 5 BTC could be worth 6k$ each by next month and that will be another $15,000 increase in just a month and not 7 years so I will urge all newbies who can to invest something into it and watch your profits grow I no time.

I was not around at the time and always thought Gavin only gave away his own bitcoins. Now I see someone posted that they donated 500BTC towards Gavin's faucet back then. What would be nice is if Gavin could reveal the total amount of bitcoins that they distributed to faucet users back then. It should show the Blockchain evidence, so that we can check how many of those coins have been used over the years and how many are still unused in cold storage. ^smile^
Damn, this can make some good stories, if people are just willing to share.
The day when Freebitco.in FREE ROLLS reach 1 or 2 Satoshi per hour, we will kick our ass that we did not use it more. I guess the price will be between $4000 to $5000 per bitcoin when it reach those levels. ^smile^

I think it's not too late to get the profit 7 years again, the price of the bitcoin 7 years will reach $20.000 or more, so we will benefit more than 800%, I recommend to buy bitcoin now.

This is sort of possible to do. The wallet address for the faucet is: 15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC If we look on blockchain at that address: https://blockchain.info/address/15VjRaDX9zpbA8LVnbrCAFzrVzN7ixHNsC we see a total of 19,750BTC. That is a current valuation of $47,830,550.50 and the current balance is $2.81. Without knowing what percentage of coins (if any) Gavin kept, I think we could assume that over 19k Bitcoins were distributed to users. Of course, some people abused it and I do remember seeing threads from Gavin with different ways to prevent people from double dipping into the faucet.

I remember that site I used to collect from that faucet on the later months of 2010. I have earned 5 btc at that site but I was not so keen about bitcoin before since I thought it was useless. There are no exchange which I can sell my bitcoins and the value is very low. Last 2013 I reformatted my computer and along with I lost my 5 bitcoins. How I wish I can still recover my files and withdraw my 5 btc and sell it today.

Struggling to get 1000 satoshi, it's too early to talk about such things. No one can predict anything for the future. We can count on the development of bitcoin, but do not judge it wrong. Even professionals make mistakes, so you should not assert it.

It's always nice to see this kind of stuff. But you have to realize that most people that were around back then probably did not hold on to most of their coins as they already had 10x price increases back than that were considered to be insane.
Holding all this time is really difficult for anyone not fully behind the disruptive capabilities of this tech.

Don't work anymore.... ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) You expect that it would work still as of now? If it does then op wouldnt mind to share at all and spoil all the btc on that site.. Its really somehow regretful that we didnt jump in the boat on the earlier days of bitcoin and yes life is funny which bitcoin is almost free on those days and now earning a little satoshi is already hard but well theres no need to think off so hard about the past better to focus on present and into the future.

Around 2 years ago or so, it wasn't that hard to get around 0.01 or 0.02 BTC per day from using multiple faucets and getting paid through Faucetbox (RIP). People would still say they weren't really worth the effort, well at the time it wasn't, but with these prices you would have a really nice amount if you just saved it.
I wonder if todays faucet claims could be worth a lot in another few years? Are faucets still a thing now with these high fees?

So don't think too much about regret, because if we just a time traveler or even a fortune teller tell us what to be done. Lucky to those preserve their bitcoin long time ago, the most important thing now is your knowledge about the potential of bitcoin and the future of it.

People are always saying that faucets are waste of time and they say same thing today,but they do not take into consideration that value of coins can be changed in the future.In time when BTC price was around 200-250$ we can make nice amount of satoshi every day,and today they are worth ten times more,not bad for 2 year time. There is time when faucets pay 5 BTC,today is in the range from 10 to 100 satoshi,and with price increase rewards will go even less.Regarding fees,there is few microwallets like FaucetBox where we can accumulate coins and withdraw at desired treshold.
