Despite all the problems that freebitco is going through, I would like to ask if the faucet is still working? I remember one of the members mentioned freebitco as one of the reliable faucets in the old days. Of course, it will not give much, but the idea is still active and it certainly generates some profit for its owners. I also read about the existence of other faucets in other currencies.

Bitcoin faucets in its early years were an important way to spread awareness about Bitcoin and how to use it. Aside from mining activities and trading deals, there were no ways available to the public to get some Bitcoin, because even freelance work on the Internet did not yet use Bitcoin payments. It is true that the faucet sites were nothing but pages displaying different products and services within advertising banners, but Bitcoin helped bring traffic to make them profitable sites par excellence and able to attract advertisers. Crypto and Bitcoin in particular owe a great deal to these faucets.
