I miss Faucets

[lovesmayfamilis]

Profitable faucets? All faucets are profitable because you don't spend money for faucets. If you have time, claim faucets. However if you spend too much time with faucets, and don't have time to do other things which can help you to gain knowledge, get a job, receive salary, it's not good.

Even then, I had a similar feeling. Waste time entering a captcha and receiving incomprehensible amounts with several zeros in front. Yes, there were a lot of faucets, and people used a lot of software to automatically enter captchas. But I wonder how many of those inventors who tried so hard to get a freebie kept their bitcoins. For some reason, it seems to me that there are none at all. Since, logically speaking, people needed pennies, they were unlikely to leave them for many years.

I'm glad Bitcoin has become so main stream, but I do miss the days of being able to type your BTC address into a random website and then *POOF* some BTC pops into your wallet.  I should have listened and kept my coins off the exchange but here we are.  Just happy to be back in the space again    

Just click here , enter your bitcoin address (at the very bottom, on the left) and "*POOF* some BTC pops into your wallet" so you don’t miss the good old days.

You can read more about this faucet here.

In general, check the Micro Earnings section more often, where new faucets sometimes appear.

Faucets are still available till to date.

But I agree, good old days, the time when you can receive a lot of satoshis. I still remember the days the first time I was introduced to crypto, faucets is one of the activities I learned. I really give my time and effort doing faucets in the past until I end up getting bored as I feel like doing useless thing. But if I also kept my earned satoshis in the past, who knows what would be its value by now.

Welcome back, that's been a long time ago but there's still have some website that offers faucet but you need to watch a lot of ads first before you'll reach at least $1 and if I am not mistaken the threshold to withdraw it will ridiculously high due to the current tx fee.

Well, I do also miss the old school faucets but if you are mostly playing in online gambling sites, most of them offers faucet or users sending rains to other users (which is more like a faucet too) you'll mostly experience this so for me I think it doesn't really go away.

I remember hearing about a website that gave you an entire bitcoin and all you had to do was just solve a captcha and it was sent to the wallet.

Someone shared link about here on this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5494110.msg63989690#msg63989690
This was the first ever bitcoin faucet and was created by Gavin Andresen

There are many free airdrops and altcoins worth less than $100, yet no one wants to invest in them.
If you go back to the past, you will definitely not buy Bitcoin. Therefore, forget the past and focus on what is coming, as Bitcoin may reach the price of $400,000.

There are still free airdrops for altcoins but majority has already given up on bounties and Airdrop since majority are just scam projects or paying little or nothing on task completed. Being paid in bitcoin or investing in bitcoin seems more like the easiest way of accumulating more bitcoin now.

It's just like how getting Gold was much more easier in the 90s and way back than now.

Yeah, I miss the faucet too. Back when Bitcoin prices were still very low, I played the faucet to get free satoshis. At that time, it was very easy to earn 100k satoshi and collect it in our wallet. And when we had collected a lot, we could sell it at the price we wanted.

It was a very pleasant past experience that allowed many people to accumulate a lot of satoshis. The faucet allows them to learn about crypto in more depth and collect other coins. This allows them to continue seeking profits from crypto because the coins they previously earned can be sold, and they can start trading.

We can only remember those memories as memories from the past. But we should keep trying to have more Bitcoins. Make it a memory that we can remember forever.

I do remember the faucet days and how much I have read that it's not so worth to do it continuously. With the price of BTC being so high, I think it's still worth it you know? I think that's how it can be but we cannot change anything now. It's best that we move forward and buy BTC continuously now.

Do you kept your Bitcoin on exchange and something bad happened? Your Bitcoin is safer in your Bitcoin wallet than the crypto exchanges, they can get hacked at any time or the team can decide to do some very bad things behind your back like FTX did.

Bitcoin faucets lasted very long, it's been years since I last claimed some free Bitcoin through faucets and I don't even care to hold, I normally sold after few weeks to subscribe for data plan and this always keep me online for a month at least.

There was a faucet that gives 0.3-05 BTC every 4hrs after solving it's captcha, those were great early days of Bitcoin, and it happened because Bitcoin value was very low, to claim Bitcoin faucet today isn't going to get you anywhere and I even doubt if there is any Bitcoin faucets running till now.

What year is the BTC faucer profitable? Maybe when the price is still low the fees are not that high? I didn't experience any memorable faucets when it came to getting sats.

With faucets, people almost don't have to do anything too heavily so what they spend is only their time.

Profitable faucets? All faucets are profitable because you don't spend money for faucets. If you have time, claim faucets. However if you spend too much time with faucets, and don't have time to do other things which can help you to gain knowledge, get a job, receive salary, it's not good.

What I know from a person only needs to roll once every hour, if you are diligent, the sats from the faucet will increase a lot.

It's just a one click claim so it doesn't take much time so anyone can still gain knowledge with other jobs, unless there is a heavy task to do in claiming the faucet but I don't think it's heavy that I know.

Let this be the past for those who feel it.

Hmm, it was a pretty good day. 
I remember pretty well that there are many faucet sites that give some Satoshi per capita. This is really one of the best memories for me, My crypto journey also started on these Capta Or and Facut sites. But time is a matter of time, at that time we used to be happy by selling even at a low price. But today it is not like that, every small amount of satoshi also gives you high value. 
 
But anyway, there is no use in taking it now that it would be good if Bitcoin was at a low price. My brothers who were going to buy Bitcion at that time, that is, those who were serious, grabbed Bitcoin, and even those who believed, did not hesitate to grab Bitcion. Buying Bitcoin depends on the user's desire to buy it. In the previous bear market, the weak hearted people, when the price of bitcoin reached $15,782, those who were opportunity grabbers filled up their bags and those who used to make lame excuses started making excuses. So it depends on you that if you are serious about Bitcion, then you will definitely grab the opportunity and if not, then your job is only to regrate.

Faucet things are now " Good old days" type of thing now. At that time BTC was in early stage and have less users. So faucets offered new users some free sats and encourage them to use the network. Now you can see it came mainstream making it no need to promote plus high fee thing in transaction make faucet almost unconvenient.
