I used to run several faucets. I earned more Bitcoin doing that than anyone else I know.
I think working part time in crypto is doable. Some people who were early adopters have been able to leverage that experience and enter the corporate side of crypto, or signpost crypto for newer adopters. There is still a lot of opportunity in emerging technologies within crypto, Bitcoin may be a little less easy to get into now, but I still try my best to evangelize Bitcoin whenever possible.
True, the earlier ones that have set a foundation for this industry are able to capitalize on their experience and earliness. More opportunities are on them because they know the foundations where they can maximize what they know. Speaking of running several faucets, are you still running those?
And as someone who runs faucets up to this time, is it still a good source of income and how many visits do you get from daily to monthly? I'm interested to know more about it.
