Topic: The term and word (free coins) is completely wrong - page 2. (Read 330 times)

Okay let's say you're right (I am not familiar on how faucets get their revenue lol) but actually everything makes sense for me. That's why I understand if those sites used the term "free" because you can really get free satoshis without putting money out from your own pocket. Few clicks never bothered them anyway hahaha. Besides, "free satoshis" is more effective and convincing slogan compare to "Get satoshi for clicking" etc. — that's how advertising works.

I have noticed this long time ago, but this write up explained it more, I registered on a site to solve captcha and be paid, I had to research about how faucets are generating their income because I solved captcha on faucets too, I later realized people thinking they are getting free coins are actually the one working for faucets or any other site proving to give free coins by solving captcha. 20 satoshi for individual per hour after solving captcha is not profitabe at all but the sites if true generating 80 satoshi per millions of visitors/user makes them rich, people only working for them thinking it is free coins but not.

Aside from oxygen. Kidding aside

But this is really true. In fact, even illegals need to work just to have money. Coin in cryptocurrency is not free at all since we have to make a task/s just to get the airdrops or free coins. And each coin that we received is useless because only few cryptocurrencies are paying worthy in giving free coins. Most of them are just a waste of time. It is just good to see at first because it has a large pool, but when it comes to your wallet it goes a dollar only (worst scenario if you got cents).

I wish you can stress this again. Have had several argument else where on the qualification of free for tokens here especially bounty, it mostly come from high rank members that have made so much money from the space and forum, and want to disregard the activities and worth of the reward. It is dispointing to see what ICOs had done to startup but as bounty hunter in the forum I made as much investment in startup as the reward earn, which gives me the position as investors. We all see how difficult to earn the ranks, keep a good post on the thread and earn any reward here.

Well, I smell that you are pointing out the gambling site that has to offer a faucet, it is named ^{[Freebitco.in]}. This gambling site you can able to collect 20 satoshis per hour through the faucet. But I disagree with this, you can still earn free coin but not worth it. Perhaps you are trying to say there is no free money on the internet and that right as of now. But collecting free coin is possible but you can't able to withdraw, the intention of this site is to test their product service through the free coin they gave. Indeed, there are too many factors of getting coin for free but I don't know if there is value. ^{[airdrop, faucet & giveaways]}

"Nothing is free on the world". When a person will ask himself, why somebody will give me free money where we don't know each other? There is must some hidden reason why they are paying you even single satoshi. If you say some airdrops just required ETH address and there is no any other task. But you don't know why they are giving it free. Indirectly you are selling your ETH address although it's not harm for you. Because the team will show to exchange how many address holding their tokens. Perhaps exchange would list them and you will forced to sell your token on that listed exchange. So ICO could get listed on exchange and exchange get a probably new trader. That's how no one giving you money totally free. Anyway nothing new on your topic since everyone know this strategy.

You can get "free" coins without doing any task, but those coins may not have a monetary value.

If I create an ERC20 token for fun, not backed by anything tangible, the coins will have a value of 0 and will always.
I could  send you some.  They are free but have a value of 0.


I guess, what you say is that no one will give you "money" for free.... well, internet is the same as real life, you gotta work for your bread and butter.

You could always try to "beg" for free stuff, but even begging is a "task" so they don't become free.

Truly faucets aren't worth anyone's time. At least nobody's time in the western world. And for those in other countries, the ads don't pay the website owner most of the time for such territories so they are probably blocked from accessing the site. The coins are neither free nor worth it. In the vast majority of cases it would be more worth it to try and develop a skill, learn something or simply have fun... I could see more value being derived in even playing a game. Enjoying yourself can make you productive in real work...

These faucets continue to lure in new users by claiming their are giving "free coins" but the word used should be the least of anybody's concerns. Such activities are just never are a good time investment.

Fortunately really, if any commodity was generated and distributed for free the value drops overtime and if it goes on for long enough it will eventually lose all value.
Time, effort, money and ideas (maybe) are all related and can pass as forms of investments which you would get a ROI from, if invested wisely of course. The only distinction is the quality being offered; we have low and high skilled labor, the latter can put a premium on their effort and time.
In the example you cited, the web designer would certainly earn more than those who are paid to build traffic on the site as it's a higher skilled labor.
~ so, the higher the skill, the more valuable your time is

Hello friends, today I want to discuss a very important topic for everyone, especially for beginners, and what I want to discuss today, we hear about it on a daily basis, and frankly, this topic is completely wrong.
The topic is related to the word (free currencies) and this word is wrong and is not correct and we must stay away and stop using it as we see daily posts that include a way to get free currencies
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as free coins at all, and there are no sites or apps that pay free coins to users
All the currencies we get require some tasks, it is impossible to pay money without charge
For example, free bitcoin is one of the most famous taps sites that pay members a few of the Satoshi. Everyone says that this site is free, but frankly, this site is not free, because we can get some satellites, we need to bypass the captcha, so I want to say that the site gets profits from this CAPTCHA. That we solve and skip For example, a person bypasses one CAPTCHA and through this CAPTCHA the site gets 100 Satoshi, the site pays 20 Satoshi to the user and he still has 80 Satoshi profits in addition to that the site gets the profits also from the ads inside it that we watch Therefore, all sites depend on the same method or the method of publishing the referral link to bring and bring new users Therefore, we hope to stop saying this totally incorrect term

I hope to hear everyone's opinions on this topic
