Many who have been in the crypto industry for a long time started with faucets. That's why freebitcoin had such a large audience. At that time, users really had the opportunity to collect quite a lot of sats (0.2, 0.5, or even 1 BTC if there were referrals) but the problem is that only a few continued to keep sats from faucets until now.
That also happened with those who bought bitcoin early or mined them, not just those who got on faucets like FBI. Most sold when they got a little return, others even in a market downturn, and only the few who holded for a long time were the ones who really got rich.
Correct. We used to mine BTC on our laptops. You go out for lunch, come back in 30 mins, you'd mine like 20 BTC.
Sadly, i sold a big chunk of MY BTC in the $600-$1000 glory days. I made good money, but in hindsight, i could have owned a small island now

I regret nothing tho
