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://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.63989690
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.

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'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 Cheesy

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.

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.

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.

It seems it was a lot of members that missed that opportunity, I don't expect that an old member like yourself would have missed such opportunity of earning huge amount of Bitcoin back in the time that faucets was rewarding so badly. I have missed the opportunity too but I look forward to other opportunity that may come in the future. Earning free Bitcoin now is not so super easy like before.

To be honest, the bitcoin from faucets had started to become worthless around 10 years ago. It was back when BTC had almost no value that people were giving away large (in today's prices) amounts of it. Once BTC hit around the hundreds or maybe thousands, then the rewards had become peanuts by then, according to what I've seen around the internet.

Speaking of the Bitcoin faucet, for me, it is "good ol' days" and it will never happen in the Bitcoin network anymore.
The essence of faucet is will never happen again especially now that we already have a lot of people using Bitcoin and transaction fees already high, it is not convenient anymore.

Nothing that I can say, forget the past about the Bitcoin faucet.

Yes, we still have a website that offers faucets but it requires it large amount that you can able to withdraw.
So, IMO, it's useless or wasting of time if you're still looking for a good faucet right now, it's different than before.

But instead, you can invest in Bitcoin through DCA way so that you can manage the risk.

Most of us missed that opportunity to earn some free money through faucet, alot have changed with bitcoin and bitcoin have become more valuable to gift just for doing nothing.

Now days, you either work to earn bitcoin or you buy bitcoin, aside from the two mentioned, there is no more bitcoin airdrops any where, bitcoin mainstream status have brought with it so much activities and opportunities for bitcoin that have increased the value.

Yes that's true but there are also people who are late where they know about bitcoin after the faucet is no longer a trend. I know about bitcoin on 2018 which faucets is not the same as before where it will take you years before you can withdraw the amount. Anyway, if OP wanted to earn Satoshi then there are legitimate faucets that are still running although as I explained that it will take a long time to accumulate the required amount before you can withdraw the amount you accumulated in faucet.

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.

Maybe in 2010 before or after can't remember for sure but it becomes profitable if the claimant can keep it well and keep it more than a decade, because as far as I know you can get around a thousand or hundreds of satoshi every hour even less than an hour with quite a lot of faucet websites available.
I once read on a local forum a claimer who could get 0.1 Bitcoin in one month if he was diligent in claiming, but again it was only profitable if he could patiently hold and store it with a high level of security because at that time there was not so much information on how to store Bitcoin safely and many used online wallets such as coinbase or other online wallets that provided many addresses because often claimers used multiple accounts.

You are wrong, currently there are still faucets in one of the casinos that have existed for a long time but the number is small unless you are very active in playing there, because the activity and price movements of Bitcoin affect the amount obtained by each claim.

Profitable they are in the sense that they give you one thing for free but as to make it worthwhile at the time they never have been because when they gave more bitcoin in the past it was because bitcoin was worth less, or had less purchasing power, if you like.

However bitcoin then was near worthless so nobody really bothered doing that. Later faucets in casinos were popular, especially dice sites.

You could get like 1000 sats and if you rolled the right numbers, you could make 100000 sats which was the min withdraw.

You say that by looking at the current price of Bitcoin.
try again when you play the faucet with the current bitcoin price rate. Of course you feel like you are just wasting your time playing faucets because at that time the results if converted to $ are very small.

Goold old times

I think a huge chunk of us have started our adventure with crypto by claiming faucets and giveaways. I know I have. My very first posts on this forum were in giveaway threads, some for altcoins that are long dead.
To me it wasn't even about getting "money" for free as much as it was about the novelty of experiencing something new and exciting. It was really fun to see the first sats coming into your wallet.

There are still some faucets around, the biggest one is freebitco.in, operating uninterrupted since 2013. Of course, due to transaction fees, they don't send it straight to user wallets.

Some faucets still working, a good example is the freebitcoins faucet:

https://freebitcoins.com/faucet/

If you want to claim BTC you will only get 2 satoshis, but you can claim other coins like Monero (500 sats), ETH (25 sats), and even Bitcoin testnet (0.001 tBTC). The coins go directly to your wallet in the exchange and you can trade them for other coins.

But what we all miss is those days when faucets used to pay huge amounts.
