This is real, because BTC was originally invented by Satoshi Nakamoto, and was only traded in a very small community of technology engineers.

🤔However, geniuses quickly realized that if they continued to be so conservative, Bitcoin would quickly die like many other decentralized currencies (in fact, BTC was not the first digital currency on the Internet).

👉Therefore, they have found ways to make BTC more accessible to the community, including a plan to encourage people to do tasks to receive coins =>> The ancestor of the airdrop programs that people often plow today 😅😅

I will explain more about the first airdrop program in Bitcoin history below!

---------


The Bitcoin White Paper was published by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. However, by 2010, Bitcoin was still very new to many people. The majority of the Bitcoin community at that time was programmers active on the Bitcointalk forum.

Gavin Andresen, an American software developer and a legend who has been with Satoshi since the early days of the blockchain industry, believes that the popularity of Bitcoin is too slow. Therefore, he came up with a way to airdrop free Bitcoin to users around the world. 😍

💥Specifically, Gavin Andresen built a website with a fairly simple interface and used his own money to buy the domain name "freebitcoins.appspot.com".

💵💵Anyone who visits the site gets free Bitcoins 👉all they have to do is enter a captcha code to confirm they are not a robot. Notably, each person gets to “harvest” Bitcoin once a day, meaning the amount of cryptocurrency they earn can be huge as long as Gavin continues to add Bitcoins to the site.

“5 Bitcoin per visitor, first come first served. I have already injected 1,100 Bitcoin to get the site up and running. If things go well, I will add more,” Gavin said.

😎At Bitcoin's all-time high (around $70,000), the 5 Bitcoins Gavin gave customers per visit were worth $350,000.

It only took a few minutes a day to have the opportunity to earn a huge fortune, however, at that time, many investors thought this job was meaningless and a waste of time. Some even thought Gavin Andresen was crazy. 😅😅😅

“I know it sounds silly, but I want the Bitcoin project to succeed. I think it will be more successful if everyone gets a little Bitcoin to try it out. Waiting for a miner to mine a Bitcoin is annoying. Buying Bitcoin from other people is even more annoying,” Gavin Andresen shared.

👉The 1,100 Bitcoins Gavin initially added were not enough, so to continue maintaining the website, he called on other individuals and organizations around the world to contribute. In 2 years of existence, a total of 19,700 Bitcoins were distributed for free through this airdrop program.

-----------------------

💥Gavin's approach achieved some initial success, as Bitcoin reached a larger audience of internet users. However, it also left many undesirable consequences, bringing disrepute to Bitcoin in general and the crypto investment community in particular. >>>> I will explain the reason why in the next part. 😎

Bitcoin and crypto attract investors not only because of the opportunity to get rich, but also because of its history of development, creating a unique form of "culture", making people continue to pursue it.

👉I think that if there was no Bitcoin, the creators would have created some other digital asset to replace it, but it would be very difficult to achieve the same level of enthusiasm as Bitcoin.
