Today there are several methods to get any of the large number of cryptocurrencies available, one of the most recurring methods is, obtain through the faucets, different altcoins or tokens in an apparently free way. Repeating once again the story that if we had bought Bitcoin for pennies at the time today we would be rich, adding to this that they give us free cryptocurrencies which could be the new Bitcoin already have all our attention earned. But is it really free? I am afraid it is not entirely free. To begin with, by registering in these faucets and blinded by the free word, we accept the conditions of use and that is where our first payment resides since sometimes we accept that in the future those conditions change without us being able to refuse, or because our data is passed third parties exempting themselves from liability. To get those "free" coins in return, we will have to do tasks, give our data and invest our time. At that point is where "free" currency in exchange for homework doesn't sound logical to me at all. Really give personal data, download applications and use them or spend your time in exchange for crypto whose value is pennies, is it profitable? And if privacy is sought, does it make sense to sell it for it? Personally I think it is more effective to buy cryptocurrencies or tokens directly, operate through a wallet or exchange where it is not necessary to sell your privacy to obtain coins since many have very low prices on the rise. Even staking coins can give you a bigger profit and without spending your time so "free".
