In the end, it's all about stacking sats. Even back then faucet rewards were a waste of time for many people, faucets give around $0.002 (I took freebitcoin prize at the moment, but I guess there are better and worst ones)... but now that is 9 sats, and before it was around 1000 sats per claim (when I joined freebitcoin). So who started claiming faucets and having fun on the site long ago (in the best possible case withoeut or with some small losses, I am not in that category) now have a decent amount in BTC.
Faucets are waste of time if you are trying to make money with them... and I am sure we all know how many people try to abuse that, but it's not the point. I click that claim when I remember or when I am checking the site (for playing or FUN price, free WoF), while I am there why not? And like I explained above, with some careful playing and bankroll management (unlike me...) anyone can have fun and make a nice amount of sats.
Yes I agree. Don't see faucets as your main source of income but just a nice little extra. The base reward is pretty low, but imagine that the price of bitcoin goes x10, than all the small amounts you claimed also add up. My highest base reward I saw was around 130 -140 satoshis per claim.
I agree that if you keep claiming and let the amount there without using it when the next bull run will come you maybe surprised at the level of income you have accumulated during this time.I know it is difficult to do as we tend to buy lottery tickets or gamble them away when bonus day for rewards points are active but if you are patient and do this from a long time because the next bull run will most likely not come before 2025 despite things looking good for Bitcoin in this first month of the year we are in 2023 and until 2025 the balance should have gone substantially up for us to enjoy some decent amounts of money,as all good things in life this needs a lot of patience too.
