Back in 2010, Bitcoin was still in its infancy, and Gavin Andresen introduced an innovative experiment: a Bitcoin "faucet" that distributed 5 BTC to anyone willing to solve a simple Captcha. This quirky initiative became a memorable chapter in early crypto history, representing an era when Bitcoin was abundant yet largely unknown. For many newcomers at the time, these faucets were their first hands-on encounter with digital currency—a gateway that felt almost too good to be true. Today, that 5 BTC would be worth a fortune, making those early faucet participants early believers in the industry's potential.
