The sky is falling and we are all going to parish in the aftermath of the great collapse of 2018!!! Well that might be a bit over board but the blood of the investors that bought in on the hype when crypto was at ridiculous levels is still staining exchanges as people are dumping everything they have. I am not an expert on crypto, I only play one on TV, but this is a time of great value. Maybe not in the short term, but if you believe that these are investments that will accrue in value over the long term, then these are the salad days. A bargain hunters delight.
Saying that, I am cheap and I want stuff for free, so this a wonderful time to diversify and grow our portfolios with the many faucets that are available. Faucets basically exchange coins for the user visiting their site. They earn earn revenue through Ads or running a mining software in your javascript sandbox. For the most part, and I have done about zero research to back this up, faucets pay the equivalent of about $0.002 per claim, give or take. Now that isn't much, but we can't look at this in dollars and cents but in the terms of crypto. I am going to give one example of how the crash of Bitcoin is good for faucets. I use a site called Bonus Bitcoin with uses the Coin Pot Microwallet. Now during the boom, claims to the site were averaging about 15 satoshi. Now that Bitcoin has fallen, my per claim average has grown to about 37 satoshi. The conversion to the dollar is roughly the same, but if I believe that this asset will grow in value then the future value of these claims could be significant.
I know it is not sexy to claim faucets, but while the market is bleeding a little bit, take this opportunity to grab a little extra while it is out there. I have included links to my favorite faucets. Full disclosure, they are referral links, just delete the referral information if you want to. Not going to hurt my feelings if you do.

Not a faucet, but claims are way up for completed tasks (earned 200 doge for completing a couple surveys) Earncrypto.com
Happy collecting and as a wise person once said "Always Hodl"
