When BTC started, nobody had any and it was worthless, so it was right to give away thousands of BTC to make it popular. All that has changed. Now that BTC's worth something, now that companies are building on BTC, now that serious business transactions are made with bitcoin, it's about time for faucets to adapt.
BTC is real. It's money, and you've got to work to earn some. I hope all faucets will disappear in 2015. Faucets are hurting bitcoin by making some people believing you can get it while doing nothing sitting in your home. No, BTC isn't like that, and it shouldn't be any easier to get than any fiat currency. Even for small amounts.
Good post. For bitcoin to BE money, people need to treat it as money. The best way to "Join the Bitcoin Revolution" so to speak. Is to get a job, earn money, putyour paycheck into Bitcoin, and learn how to spend it in bitcoin. And I can almost guarantee that those pioneers will have bigger "bitcoin estates" than the late comers.
When bitcoin starts really moving, and technically it has begun the slow march up, then people CAN make money sitting on their butts and while they sleep - but only if they have Bitcoin already. You don't get Bitcoin, money or anything without working, a job, a plan, a dream, something productive.
I am going full bore earning everything I can and learning the bitcoin system, and getting the bitcoins. I can guarantee everyone here that this is one of the rarest moments in the history of human civilization..... where anyone with a will, even if they are poor, can get in on something and change their stars, their financial future.
WORK.... EARN MONEY..... TRANSFER IT TO BITCOIN...... LEARN TO LIVE IN BITCOIN...... BE ONE OF THE FIRST, A PIONEER.
... and it will just happen naturally.
