On a long term trajectory (>10 years), I'm as bullish as they come, but even then I can't see current faucet payouts being worth your time.

Even if the price of bitcoin goes up another 100 times to $6 million per coin (which is obviously an incredibly optimistic scenario), you are still only talking six cents per satoshi. I don't spend a lot of time solving captchas in less than 3 minutes on non-Tor browsers, but even if you are abusing multiple faucets and solving captchas endlessly, you aren't going to earn more than the equivalent of a few bucks an hour, and that's with the scenario of bitcoin making 100x gains. With more realistic gains, you are maybe making 10-20 cents an hour, equivalent. Even if you got a job only paying a few bucks an hour today, putting an hour's wages in to bitcoin would net you several thousand sats and much greater future returns.

Yeah, the old faucets which paid out 5 BTC per IP address seem crazy now, but anyone who had a minimum wage job in 2010 and put one hour's wages in to bitcoin would have been able to buy over a thousand BTC, so it's all relative.
