I'll send 2 free bitcents each to the next 5 people who post an address. As long as you promise to use them for good, not evil.

Or any generous soul is welcome to send me some BTC at 18i8sD4CBRENyhv2R1kNSQc8cvz6YRur9t

Please, 1Hxc4YPoA8G37n1LNFmHSmyFnJd6Fs5wXE, my kids need to eat, my grandma is dying on cancer, I need to get to Chicago to buy her medicine, my neighbour stole my money... just joking  Tongue But if you are generous you can sent me a even a satoshi to that address and I promise that I will save all of that for my two kids.

would have sent if u didn't say joking

In that case, why RICH people give out thousands dollars to charity?

They don't unless it makes them look good.

Because its exceptional?

I have a theory why people give away coins so easily--- because bitcoin doesn't feel like real money to most people.

yes it's true

And yet despite us doing the work a lot of the time we get hack attempts, (I have noticed 4 on my site). Or people who farm from proxies (That is what sinks most of the faucet sites)

I think people are so kind giving away lots of coins free, why don't they just keep then and use them?

Do you mean the sites that give away 0.0001 BTC? That is only worth 1/10 of a cent and they get paid when people click on the ads.

It feels fake still because never in the history of mankind could "money" be spent so easily and so quickly. That's a feature AND a bug, a bug for people who are ignorant and toss their money around on credit cards thinking they can chargeback later.

Bottom line, 10,000BTC was bet for an opinion. That doesn't happen in USD.

hi, as a beginner who start today the adventure with Bitcoin have question, how it works? Is there any notification if you receive some BTC? If yes is it baloon or popup?
You get a notification from your client almost instantly if you have downloaded all blocks and your client is running. A balloon.

Give away free coin
-> More ppl would be interested in bitcoin
-> They eventually buy and spread about Bitcoin
-> More "Need" is created as more ppl is in Bitcoin community
-> Bitcoin value increases

People who are into bitcoins what the system to thrive. I've never even owned a single whole bitcoin, but I still give back to the faucet sites that helped me out. And.....a "bitcoin future" would be breathtaking to see unfold.

Yes, I think I'd agree, it really would be breathtaking to see bitcoin become mainstream - just imagine waking up one morning to find all the banks have failed because Bitcoin took off so much! I think the human race would be very happy (at least for the day!)
