Did you know that in 2010, a website called "Bitcoin Faucet" gave away 5 bitcoins for simply solving a captcha? At the time, bitcoin was a new and largely unknown digital currency, and this was one way to introduce it to early adopters. Fast forward to 2024, and the value of those 5 bitcoins has skyrocketed to around $300,000.

This example shows how early adoption of technology can have massive payoffs. Bitcoin's journey from giveaways to becoming a major financial asset illustrates the potential power of digital currencies. image
