Yes I still use faucets. Specifically, I only use called FaucetCrypto, and the reason is simple.
These faucet micro-earnings go in the same pot that everything I do in crypto goes - excluding staking.
What do I include? Airdrops, challenges (like the ones that used to be popular on Coinbase), faucets, Publish0x, micro-earnings from apps (Nodle, step apps etc).
What's excluded? Staking and earning.
Excluding staking and earning, I've been making enough to pay for several cups of coffe every month, in exchange for not doing much of anything all.
Some things have been fruitful (Solana Seeker airdrops especially) others not so much.
But I did the math, and here's how much I made with FaucetCrypto.
Here's how much I made - Part I
I've been using this website since June 2022 and so far I've completed 290 withdrawals, using mostly lesser known cryptos like Dash, Ravencoin, Komodo, etc.
These earnings were sent to Binance, where they were immediately converted into BNB or USDC.
Because there were so many, I've decided to split this into more parts. Part I is from June 2022 - March 2023.
Number of individual transactions: 27
29.23126838 RVN
0.01258622 BCH
0.00787309 Dash
0.65114577 KMD
0.00237809 ZEC
Grand total at peak value: $18.78
Current value: $4.60
But, like I said, I sold everything as soon as it reached my Binance account because I didn't trust those coins, so the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
There are two things I should point.
First, this is a faucet where your earnings are multiplied as you earn 'experience points', and second, I've been accruing referral earnings as well, so the number above will continue to go up.
Stay tuned for Part II: 1 April 2023 - 31 August 2023
