On this day in 2010, a developer started giving away Bitcoin for free ๐ฑ. Nearly 20,000 BTC followed.
Today, that Bitcoin would be worth billions.
> In June 2010, Bitcoin was barely worth anything.
> A few cents per coin. Almost nobody cared.
> Most people had never even heard of it.
Then, a software developer named Gavin Andresen had an idea.
> If nobody owned Bitcoin, how could it ever spread?
So he built the world's first Bitcoin Faucet.
A simple website.
> Solve a CAPTCHA.
> Get 5 BTC.
> Completely free.
No signup.
No payment.
No catch.
Just free Bitcoin.
Gavin funded it himself with 1,100 BTC.
Back then, that was only worth around $50.
News spread across Bitcointalk.
Thousands of people showed up.
The faucet kept running.
With help from community donations, nearly 20,000 BTC was eventually given away.
Bitcoin was being handed out like free candy.
At the time, 5 BTC felt almost worthless.
Today, those same 5 BTC would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The faucet did something far more important than giving away coins.
It turned curious visitors into Bitcoin holders.
It gave people a reason to care.
It helped grow one of the first real crypto communities.
Years later, Gavin became one of Bitcoin's most important developers and worked directly with Satoshi Nakamoto.
He never became the face of Bitcoin.
He never chased fame.
He simply helped people get their first coins.
One website.
One CAPTCHA.
Thousands of free Bitcoin.
A tiny experiment that helped kickstart a trillion-dollar revolution.
Were you one of the lucky ones, and do you still have your 5 Bitcoin?
What do you have to say to Gavin?
@_Shadow36 Everyone is saying this. Seeing it everywhere is boosting my belief system. Trusting for liquidity before then and a proper positioning in the absolutely right runner.
@MemeRetire@johnsoncooks101@narracanz@_fox09 The ANSEMs that's pumped and dumped is just too much. At points like this, the world turns to the OG and run it insanely wild... My thoughts...
I tested MiniMax-M3 through 0G Private Computer and attached the resulting inference receipt to a memory artifact inside Verifiable Agent Memory Vault.
The screenshot shows the model used, TEE verification status, provider information, and the anchored memory record.
Built with @0G_labs and @MiniMax_AI ๐
LIke we prompt @GROK for answers from posts on X, can't we prompt @Imagine as well for pictures and videos under posts, or just by making posts tagging @imagine?
We want that feature live already. We tag @Imagine with a problem, and it responds in the comment with what was asked. Gracias, sir.
