I am not surprised at his confidence in freebitco though, we all know that this is one of the longest running bitcoin faucet, which also have turned into a casino, and I have no doubt that the platform will continue to run for a very long time from now as well, I just think that 0.97 bitcoin(and still counting up) is an expensive free money.
Freebitco.in tells you exactly how they make their money, and they are still standing 9 years after they launched, through bull and bear market alike. Meanwhile, more "trusted" institutions, like Blockfi, Gemini Earn, Voyager, Celcius, gambled away their users funds and have closed their doors and disappointed those who trusted them.
Well, no doubt freebitco is the only reliable faucet left in the market as rest have all vanished since the bitcoin price have been on a high price point. Secondly, its faucet has been running for years and have never dried up.
However, you could not compare with other intuitions mentioned above, as most of the are lending institutions wo contain a lot of users fund. I don't think at point point freebitco hold that much amount of capital as those firms. However, i really appreciate that they are still there and honestly providing their services.
