I just found out that Charlie Shrem is reviving the Bitcoin Faucet, that legendary site from 2010 where Gavin Andresen gave away 5 BTC to anyone who solved a captcha. I mean, at that time it was worth nothing, but today each of those transfers would be almost half a million dollars. It's like... people who used it without thinking probably have no idea what fortunes they were giving away.
The original idea was pretty smart: when Bitcoin was hard to obtain, the faucet helped people get in without mining or buying. It worked so well that thousands of users had their first contact with BTC there. Andresen put in 1,100 BTC out of his own pocket to make it work. Imagine that now in terms of price.
The new site has already been announced but is not active yet and has no funds. Still, it's interesting to see how someone wants to bring back that vibe of free BTC from the early days. Bitcoin is currently around $74.67k. Do you think reviving something like that will work, or has that era already passed?
