Running Faucets

Tweet

Would this be considered clickbait or a misleading title of sorts? No, no, no. Not the sink faucet. I have been very clear that I am weary of the viability of cryptocurrency. At the same time, it still exists, and there are a lot of people who still believe it still has at least some value. Cathie Woods, who is a crypto "go-to" seems to think Bitcoin might still be worth $1 million by 2030. Who knows? That's my stance. And that is why while I continue to be a naysayer, I also continue to be involved. I am just not really investing anymore. I am running faucets. That is, sites that offer free cryptocurrency just for hitting a "roll" button every hour and getting a little here and little there. I am out nothing but a few seconds to hit the "button." Bitcoin, Shiba Inu, Polygon, Ethereum, USDCoin, among others, I hit the button each hour and on some things, like my Bitcoin, I earn interest and get even more free crypto. It may not be "valuable," but it still has "value," and I can still convert what I want to fiat if I so choose. So far I have not converted a dime to cash. But I may. Sometime in the future. Maybe. Depending on what it does and where it goes. My thought process is simple. I have no idea what the future of crypto is. But I do know that Bitcoin is right now sitting at about $17,000 per coin and at its peak was at $65,000 per coin. While I think the writing may be on the wall, I don't know that it is on the wall, and running these faucets costs me nothing. Either what I am doing with these today will have great value tomorrow or it won't. But because I am out nothing, I figure...why not just do it? Money is money no matter what it looks like or what we call it, and if I can turn crypto into real money (and I can), I am going to take whatever I can from the till and just see what happens while I pursue my real money.
