Freebitcoinz changed their dispense amount (again)

One of the most generous Bircoin faucets that I have ever found, Freebitcoinz, was not long ago giving away 4000 Satoshi every 24 hrs. It was supposed to only take 25 days to cashout, meaning you have reached the amount of 0.001 BTC.

The faucet gave 1000 Satoshi for a daily visit and another 3000, just because they can, and we were all very happy. Then, due to a "sudden surge in popularity of this website and the increasing value of bitcoin", the amount of Satoshi from the Extra page a.k.a. Just-because-they -can page, was reduced to a 2000 Satoshi, making a daily dispense of 3000 Satoshi.

Then, couple of days ago, when I visited for my daily share, I noticed that they once again have reduced the amount of satoshi giveaway from the extra page, this time to 1000 Satoshi, making a daily dispense of 2000. On the plus side they have removed the "not interested" pop-up, which is actually no plus at all imho.

I can't blame everyone for wanting a piece of the pie, after all, Freebitcoinz is one of the best faucets out there. I love them, and I hope they continue to rise and still take care of the people joining in. I mean, if the dispense keeps dropping so should the cooldown period and the minimum payout to keep us happy and coming back.

Have a different opinion?
Feel free to share it, I'd love to chat with y'all

What is Bitcoin, anyway?

Freedom - Justice - Truth
You've probably heard about Fitcoin, saw it on the news, read it in the paper, your friends are talking about it. An you may wonder, what exactly is Bitcoin? Where does it come from? What is mining? Can I buy stuff with it, is it legit?

Well, Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic currency, actually it is the first implementation of a concept called "crypto-currency". It was first described in 1998, but the first specification and proof of concept was published in one year later, in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto (a Japanese name that roughly translates as "Thinking clearly inside the foundation"). To this day, no one knows who he is, if he is one person or a group of people.

Bitcoin is decentralized, which means no bank, organization or government is controlling it. Currently, here are 12 million coins in circulation and the number of Bitcoins that will ever exist is 21 million. New 25 coins are generated with each block and this will be halved every four years.

So what does it mean the coins are in a block and how do people get them out of it? Well this video explains it very well:



Besides mining, you can obtain Bitcoins by purchasing them in one of the cryptocurrency exchanges by paying with fiat currencies such as USD and EUR.

Another way is to visit sites that are giving you Bitcoins for free, they can be either paid-to-click sites, faucets or even games.

So why does Bitcoin has value? Well, Bitcoins have value because they are useful as a form of money.  As with all currency, bitcoin's value comes only and directly from people willing to accept them as payment. The price of a bitcoin is determined by supply and demand. When demand for bitcoins increases, the price increases, and when demand falls, the price falls.

Nonetheless, there is a possibility that Bitcoin will lose its value, similar to what can happen to fiat currencies. There is always potential for technical failures, competing currencies, political issues and so on. Bitcoin has proven reliable for years since its inception and there is a lot of potential for Bitcoin to continue to grow. However, no one is in a position to predict what the future will be for Bitcoin.

So you may still wonder, is Bitcoin legal? Well, the answer to this question is yes, it is legal, as long as don't you use it for illegal activities, doing shady business and buy/sell black market stuff.
