With all this talk of pump and dumps, bitconnect, hacking, and shady ICO's it seems like many have forgotten about something that seems to still be there under everyone's radar: faucets. The title of this article says bitcoin faucets but I'm generally talking about any faucets. It just seems like bitcoin faucets are the most widely known.
!
The problem I have with faucets is that they make absolutely no sense to me. Unlike many of these other shady things in crypto like Chaincoin which at least promise people huge returns on their investment the faucets promise almost nothing and some of them can't even deliver on that. So why do I see faucets still pop up from time to time? Let's take a famous faucet for example: FreeBitco.in. Currently their base reward is .00000061 BTC. That's a wopping 2/10 of a cent.
You can claim on this site once every hour. So if you never went to sleep and you got all 24 clicks a day you would be racking in .00001464 BTC a day or 4.8 cents a day. I don't care how dire your situation is, there's a billion other ways to make more money in the world. There's a billion other fucking ways to make more money on the internet.
"But wait Stallahassee, your criticizing sites that give you FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEYYYYYY". To that, my answer is: Bitch, ain't yo momma eva tell you dat nothn in life is free.
In all seriousness, faucets are seriously not free. In fact, they are incredibly expensive. Instead of wasting your life clicking on some site for a fraction of a cent, you could be learning a skill, making a hell of a lot more money, having fun, or maybe even get a girlfriend. Yes even YOU the the virgin who has nothing better in their life except waiting for a timer to run out to claim their next fraction of a cent can get a girlfriend if you spent your time more productively doing literally anything else.
However, there is one silver lining to faucets, and that is there referral system. Many of these sites give you up to 50% on every referral click's earnings. So if you really want to want to make some money on these sites get an army of virgins to sign up using your referral link and then maybe you can start making a respectable salary for a sweat shop worker. It might even go up to a solid $5 a day.
In that vain I myself have signed up to many of the most well known faucets. So if you want to disregard everything I'm saying here you go and try to make me a cent: https://freebitco.in/?r=5999145 http://freedoge.co.in/?r=1079111 http://bonusbitcoin.co/faucet http://moondoge.co.in/ http://moonliteco.in/ http://moonbit.co.in/
TL;DR: Faucets are dumb but if you really think they aren't prove me wrong and use my referral links ;).
