"The bitcoin faucet is back on April 6, 2026, with a link to btc.day. Dorsey's shared URL currently displays only the bold headline promoting free BTC on 'Bitcoin Day,' with a countdown timer."
"In 2010, a site known as the Bitcoin Faucet gave visitors 5 BTC after they completed a simple captcha challenge. This was done to help spread awareness and use of BTC, which at the time was a new digital currency with almost no market value."
"Over the past six months, BTC has experienced one of its weakest performance periods in years, with the price declining sharply from late 2025 highs."
"BTC's value is down roughly 50% over the last half-year, reflecting a significant drawdown from levels above $120,000 in November 2025 to around the mid-$60,000s today."
Jack Dorsey announced 'Bitcoin Day' on April 6, 2026, promoting free Bitcoin through a revived faucet concept. The original Bitcoin Faucet, created in 2010 by Gavin Andresen, distributed 5 BTC to users completing a captcha, totaling about 19,700 BTC over time. Currently, Bitcoin's price has declined approximately 50% in the last six months, marking its worst performance since 2018. Despite this, the price appears to have stabilized in the high $60,000s, with market participants monitoring key technical levels for future movements.
