You must be one of the people who has been in the world of cryptocurrency for quite a long time, because at that time freebitcoin was better known as a faucet and I remember being able to earn hundreds of satoshis per hour so that every week I would receive Bitcoin because of automatic withdrawals.
Unfortunately at that time not many people, including me, predicted that the price of Bitcoin would be like it is today, which if we are patient enough to save it will now provide very high value for our assets.
Freebitcoin also has a sister site which is also known as a faucet where we can get the oldest memecoin that still exists today, but unfortunately the faucet has closed and the management is returning each member's balance.
Faucet abuse has become a massive thing, that's why many faucets have died because they don't get the appropriate return to maintain their website, but amazingly, freebitcoin is still surviving well until now.
Yeah I remember those days, in fact I remember making thousands per hour, with every faucet that I used, the combined was tens of thousands per hour. I had a bookmark folder with about 20 of them, and I was making tens of satoshis per hour, daily hundreds of thousands of satoshis as well. I did manage to withdraw from most of them, like half of them at least. The other half turned out to be a scam, or basically failed to have a proper business and closed shop.
All in all, I would say that freebitco.in has been around for a quite long time, it was a website that barely got any visitors back in the day when it first started and I was here when that happened. In the end, they did manage the website well enough that it is one of the most visited websites in the world now.
