I started way back in 2013 or 2014. Back then, I also earned by first coins from faucets. But then earning BTC from faucets was not that hard. It was easy to earn a few mBTCs, if you visit the site continuously for a month or so.
Yeah. It was much easier to earn Bitcoin from faucets in the past, but nowadays it is not worth it. While it serves as a great start for those who are new into Bitcoin, it will never be ideal to generate a nice income out of it.
One thing for sure is that you will earn good profits over the long term, if you've managed to hold most of your faucet earnings since you've started. As for me, I've saved up most of my faucet earnings since 2014, and now as a result of Bitcoin's price increase, they are worth more than what they used to, making me a small profit.
Nevertheless, faucets are a great way to earn experience using Bitcoin as it will encourage you to claim your reward and experiment with the pioneer cryptocurrency. With this, and many other happenings, I've been able to become experienced and stronger than ever making good use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Just sharing my thoughts
