Google the phrase “free bitcoin” and you won’t be disappointed with the number of results. What you will be disappointed with however is the nature of the sites claiming to offer “free” bitcoins. As the old saying goes: “Nothing in life is free.”

What these sites actually do is require you to perform time consuming tasks for a few measly satoshi (0.00000001 Bitcoin) which you will probably never see in any useable form as the sites have payout minimums that are impossible to reach. I decided to trawl through some of the top results for this search in an attempt to actually use them.

I read the article but I didn't see any sites mentioning that ypou had to download or instal anything. Just look like crappy faucet sites. Of course they're a waste of time, though. Newbs wont realize this sadly.

They work and you get free money, but just about 0.005 of a cent, so it's never going to be worth your time, but newbs find this out the hard way.
