Topic: Is BitCoin faucets really worth the time? (Read 17473 times)

The digital currency/asset market is gaining wider attention. Even though places to exchange fiat for cryptocurrencies are growing in numbers there are only a few of them that are reliable. A much faster means to reach mass adoption has come from somewhere else. The perfect use cases are “airdrops” and “coins for actions programs”.

“Slipping money into someone’s pocket is a powerful way to get their attention.”
Spencer Bogart, a partner at San Francisco-based Blockchain Capital

Not only these programs give the potential to earn “free” money for the end-users but also gives them the opportunity to test and learn about the underlying ecosystem technology powering the token. Isn’t that the way all this Bitcoin mania began? A small group of people transferring bitcoin to each other, experimenting with the concept of transferring borderless money in few minutes. Let’s remember that not only cryptos fluctuate in value like financial assets, but unlike financial assets, they can be used to enable digital ecosystems in this way they are usable or utile!

We are sharing a list of pioneers that support the idea that mass adoption will come from a combination of education, gamification and rewards. Please share your thoughts and opinions and complete the list with the other initiatives that aren't listed here.

when compared to the time we spend to get through the bitcoin faucet, I think it is not comparable to the bitcoin that we get, if we compare with cloudmining or other types of mining, but if we see a lot of mining who do not pay or scam, I guess faucets is the right choice because it proved to pay, even if just a little bitcoin we earn, hopefully there are faucets that deliver large amounts of bitcoin, making it comparable to the time we spend to see these faucets ... 

There are good faucets that play decent amount of coins per request. You can find more information from our website. It's a subjective question if it's worth the time. If you can make more money with some other method then go for it.

simple answer, nope.... you will get 1000x more bitcoin by begging on street 

can you give me a link to this faucet site?

The best faucet I have tried was the one inside of Win88 website, it gives 2500 satoshi every minute.

bitcoin faucet to me is an opportunity to earn bitcoin without mining.

Well faucet sites were giving out much bigger amount of bitcoin years ago (as high as a few bitcoin in 2009), but the bitcoin price was much lower back then...

And the RDD price is now stable at 15 satoshi. Looks like you have bought and sold both at the perfect timing.

I can agree to this, and what would be so good sites of altcoins, what could be worth to roll ?

Faucets are not good if your goal of to get some really good amount of btc with them. I've been doing them for about 2 months and got around 0.005 btc. that's nothing for a months of work, so I don't recommend them, but I can post what I usually do when smeone asks about faucets:



You can try getting some fair amound like this but still, for the freebitco.in you need to have a fair amount of active referals to get some reasonable amount. So I DON'T recommend doing faucets but if you want to, use this strategy and good luck.

the btc which faucets give is very less and if you have a lot of free time then you can experiment with it.

There are many altcoin faucets and give aways on Cryptocointalk:

What is RDD?

Yeah but for next to nothing. And as soon as they obtain a substantial
value the creators pump out their pre mined coins to make a profit.

You can sell altcoins.

Not really. Atleast bitcoins you KNOW has a value. Altcoins are 99% pump and dump shit schemes, you won't get anything.
Bitcoin faucets aren't there to give you more than a dollar a day, and it's no way to make an income.

They are useless now. Give out too little. Withdrawal limits too high. Altcoin faucets are much better.

I don't think so. It is true that you will get some free bitcoin from Bitcoin faucets but the amount is too small. I think it's just waste of your time.

They were really really worth the time, years ago.
