I am doing market research for a potential project.
If there was a website you could go to daily where you would earn anywhere from 1 cent - 10 cents worth of bitcoin just for clicking a button, would you do it?
No strings attached, no deposit required. You go to the website, push a button and 5 cents is deposited into your wallet. Would you go every day and do it, or is it not worth your time?
You are talking about a Bitcoin faucet here. When I first started with cryptocurrency in 2012, there were quite a few of them around. And I earned my first Satoshis from these faucets. Back then, the amounts looked very minuscule. However, when the exchange rates rose from $10 to $1,000 in 2013, I found that the rewards have increased greatly in value. By then the faucets were long gone, but thanks to them I had a good amount of coins in my wallet.
The situation may have changed. But back then faucets were the easiest option to get your hands on some cryptocurrency, if you are a noob. But the problem was that people soon started squeezing these faucets dry using bots and codes. Even having IP limitation was of little use, as the scammers got more innovative by the day.
