Well, I start with the following question, Do you believe in ways to earn Bitcoin with simple activities, which I took as part of an article written by Juan Ríos for the Infobae portal, where he explains how to earn five Bitcoins just by watching ads, solving captchas or playing games.
According to Ríos, "One of the most emblematic and pioneering cases of faucets was the one created by Gavin Andresen in 2010, which gave away up to five bitcoins for solving a captcha. A time when this technology was just becoming popular and that today would give a lot of money to those who try it."
Namely, "The term faucet literally means tap or faucet, alluding to how these systems drip small amounts of cryptocurrencies, similar to a faucet dripping water."
Now, "To keep the faucet running and continue handing out Bitcoins, Andresen began receiving donations from other miners and large cryptocurrency holders, known as whales."
The truth is, "As Bitcoin's popularity grew, so did the number of faucets available online. These systems began to offer different cryptocurrencies and established themselves as an educational method for inexperienced users."
