Jack Dorsey's Block Launches Bitcoin 'Faucet' for Free Access

Jack Dorsey-led Block announced that it will launch a Bitcoin 'faucet' on Monday, offering users a way to access and use the cryptocurrency without an upfront cost. The service is based on an old model used in Bitcoin's early days.

The launch fits a consistent theme in Dorsey's public positioning towards Bitcoin. He has long argued that Bitcoin's primary purpose is to function as money, a peer-to-peer payment system accessible to anyone, and not merely as a store of value.
