I'm glad Bitcoin has become so main stream, but I do miss the days of being able to type your BTC address into a random website and then *POOF* some BTC pops into your wallet. I should have listened and kept my coins off the exchange but here we are. Just happy to be back in the space again

Do you kept your Bitcoin on exchange and something bad happened? Your Bitcoin is safer in your Bitcoin wallet than the crypto exchanges, they can get hacked at any time or the team can decide to do some very bad things behind your back like FTX did.
Bitcoin faucets lasted very long, it's been years since I last claimed some free Bitcoin through faucets and I don't even care to hold, I normally sold after few weeks to subscribe for data plan and this always keep me online for a month at least.
There was a faucet that gives 0.3-05 BTC every 4hrs after solving it's captcha, those were great early days of Bitcoin, and it happened because Bitcoin value was very low, to claim Bitcoin faucet today isn't going to get you anywhere and I even doubt if there is any Bitcoin faucets running till now.
