7. The first Faucets actually gave 5 BTC ! *5* to each visitor ( why did I not know of this before 😭)

The 5 Bitcoins were only worth a few cents at that time and the faucet was created because the interest was very limited at that time. One must also take into account the situation was much different. If you had got the 5 Bitcoins back then, you very likely would not have kept them until 2020 (unless you forgot them). Most people have already dumped many Bitcoins from the early days at the first highs of $50-60.
