🚰 Sixteen years ago, a website was giving away 5 Bitcoin to every visitor for free…
In 2010, Gavin Andresen himself bought 10,000 BTC for about $50 and launched the now-famous Bitcoin Faucet, a website designed to introduce Bitcoin to the general public.
All it took was solving a captcha to receive 5 BTC for free.
In total, nearly 19,700 BTC were distributed through the faucet before it shut down in 2012.
