It started harmless. Click the faucet while waiting for a file to export. Click again after lunch. I didn’t care about ETH. It was the pause I cared about. But then I started timing things around it. Coffee breaks, messages I delayed just so I could “sync the faucet.”
Now I don’t just collect ETH — I collect rhythm. The faucet has become a breathing cycle in my day. Strange how something that gives you cents can change how you move through time. Curious: how do you time your clicks? Or has anyone here never broken a faucet streak?
Honestly... I lost a 19-day streak because I passed out after a flight delay. I actually felt grief. Like I missed a meeting with myself. After that, I automated it. But it doesn’t feel the same. The ritual is gone. Now it’s just a timestamp.
I click manually too. Not because I think it matters much yield-wise — but because of exactly what you’re saying. The act has become its own shape. Like brushing teeth. I even do it before I check my portfolio.
I forgot mine for two days last week and genuinely felt like I'd dropped out of orbit. Not because of the lost ETH. Because of the silence where that little ping used to live.
I don’t do the faucet at all anymore. Not since I started staking seriously. But reading this thread… now I’m wondering if I’ve cut out a part of the experience. May restart today. Just for the habit, not the ETH.
