Earn FREE LTC from an App? Yes! But It's Pennies!

Earn FREE LTC from an App? Yes! But It's Pennies!

Yesterday I downloaded an LTC faucet app after seeing a front page article on Publish0x claiming that they’ve paid out 11100 USD to users in February.

The app allows me to spin for LTC every hour, in addition to there being other bonuses by watching advertisements.

Is there FREE LTC? Yes. You really do earn LTC, or BCH and BTC if you want those as well.

The catch?

Faucet apps earn money by selling user data to private companies.

They admit this at the beginning, where you agree to give an email address (which they sell) and user data from your phone (you must allow the app to access your phone’s data).

They also make money from advertising.

The LTC comes from the App company selling your data and eyesight to marketing companies and advertisers. They are upfront about this, if you bother to read the terms and conditions in the app.

In a single day, I earned about 0.00006000LTC. Or, about $0.001.

If I earned the same amount each day, after a single year of using the app, I would only earn $0.365.

Ask yourself if your time is worth that much. For me, it’s not. But maybe you enjoy the experience of gambling.

And that’s exactly what the app is. Gambling. It’s designed to mimic the feel of a slot machine, with your possible rewards laid out in front of you, giving you a sense of possibility and chance that is clearly intended to motivate the lizard parts of our brains. It is flashy, with smooth colors and the sole purpose is to gamify your patience into watching ads.

If you want to try your luck, well, go for it. There's also BTC and BCH versions.
