So what is your opinion on faucets?

Depends how you value your time. It might be fun for short time, but you wont get even 1 BTC no matter how long you work on this

No. Although, if you think bitcoins will be worth $1 million or something at some point, tucking away 10,000 satoshis here and there could turn out to be wise.  Cheesy

It really depends on where you are in the bitcoin stage.  When I first started I was like free money awesome! And then I realized how little it was worth and kicked myself in the shins.

Yes if you have a lot of time.
No if you have less than 1 hour a day to enter codes, addresses and captchas

The best I can do is BTC0.05 but that's still decent compared to today.

I'd say no too, but i do it in my freetime as i've already started doing it in some sites i'd like to cashout my labor. After I cashout in most of the sites i'll stop.

How about collecting bottles, is it worthwhile? If you think you haven't time to go searching for bottles than probably faucets aren't worthwhile, as you can make more from doing that.

Just about any other way to spend your time can give better returns than the faucets. More profitable would be mowing your neighbors lawn, or something of that sort.

The question is dependent upon whether you have anything else more important to do with your life than solve captchas all day long. Honestly I would think your time is much more valuable than like 3 satoshi so I would say no, don't bother.

I was just wondering if faucets are actually worth the time and effort of typing in all those CAPTCHAS...

So what is your opinion on faucets?

Yes if you use blockchain.info because it helps pay off the fees, but if you use coinbase like me, there is no reason to waste your time...
