According to Cointelegraph, early Bitcoin entrepreneur Charlie Shrem is developing a new Bitcoin faucet site 21million.com that mimics the first Bitcoin CAPTCHA page created by early Bitcoin innovator Gavin Andresen in 2010.
Users can earn bitcoin rewards by completing the captcha task. At present, the website shows that the number of bitcoins available for collection is 0, and the captcha task and bitcoin receiving address text box are not yet open for use. Shrem said he is developing the project through AI-assisted programming (vibe coding).
The Bitcoin faucet was instrumental in the promotion and adoption of Bitcoin in the early 2010s. Andresen's Bitcoin faucet site issued a total of 19,700 bitcoins (now worth about $1.86 billion), with users receiving up to 5 bitcoins per day. As Bitcoin prices and transaction fees rose, this model eventually became unsustainable.
