💰 Former CEO of one of the first exchanges BitInstant Charlie Shrem launched a site with a bitcoin faucet in an attempt to revive a long-standing tool.
In the early stages of the bitcoin network, faucets gave users the opportunity to earn coins for solving tasks. For example, the site launched by Gavin Andresen in 2010 with a CAPTCHA input distributed a total of 19,700 BTC worth $1.86 billion at current prices. From 2011 to 2013, bitcoin faucets encouraged the creation of wallets and transactions, which contributed to the network's popularization.
Shrem's site, visually resembling a CAPTCHA, was launched thanks to AI prompts. It tells about the first cryptocurrency and gives the opportunity to "get a little coin to start the journey"#FreeBtc $BTC
