\u201cfree\u201d Bitcoin in exchange for watching ads, completing captchas, playing games, or doing other actions that favor the vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re essentially a way of hogging internet traffic by promising free money when, in most cases, you\u2019ll only get tiny portions of Bitcoin equating to cents of traditional currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A faucet can present itself in
