We talk about passive and semi-passive ways to get money using cryptocurrency.
When we are told about the possibility of making money using cryptocurrency, we usually represent round-the-clock trading on the stock exchange or the regular purchase of tokens on ICO.
However, there are other ways that do not require our active participation and time: they can be semi-passive (take a little time) or completely passive (take no time at all). You can choose your method - depending on the available capital and willingness to try a new one.
Passive earning methods
Stacking Blockchains on the algorithm Proof-of-Stake (PoS, proof of stake) allow you to earn more coins by storing existing ones. In exchange for helping protect your network and reserving your capital, you get an amount proportional to coin inflation. There are many PoS coins that differ in the methods of sale and reward - here you can view a list of them and links to characteristics. A specific case of PoS is delegated stakeholder confirmation (DPoS) when people vote for delegates rather than stacking as individuals. The reward is usually slightly higher in DPoS coins such as Ark and Lisk.
The initial bet varies depending on the coin. In addition, in some cases it is required that your node (node) be constantly online, while in others, for example, in Ark, only a one-time activation through the wallet is needed. Earnings on the nodes often shows a better result than simpler methods, due to the fact that it takes more time and requires a higher rate. If you consider that you prefer the method as passive as possible, stacking on Ark can provide approximately 10% of income without much preparation, apart from the possession of coins and the choice of delegate.
Earn Money on the Stock Exchange. Some exchanges, such as Kucoin and COSS, contain tokens that allow you to receive a share of the fee charged by the exchange. As a rule, a certain percentage of the commission collected by the exchange is returned to the holders of tokens, and this percentage provides you with dividends that are proportional to the number of your tokens.
This method cannot be called stable, since it depends on the current reserves of the exchange. However, if you buy a coin on the stock exchange before its popularity grows, then when its rate rises, you can get very high profits due to the initially low price. Please note that the reverse scheme also works - if the trading volumes decrease, you can lose both in the price of tokens and in dividends. It is also necessary to take into account that dividends can come in the form of coins sold only on the stock exchange, and not universal coins. This means that if you own only a small amount of coins on the exchange, then the earnings for each individual coin will be too small for the actual sale.
Coins with dividends. By owning certain coins, you can receive dividends in the form of other coins simply for keeping the original ones. For example, NEO generates Gas, and Vechain generates THOR. As a rule, each unit of the original coin produces a certain amount of new coins. These new coins are often associated with the payment of network fees, while the original coins can be equated to the network capital. The level of profitability here is quite low (~ 3% for Gas from NEO), but investments will not require anything from you, except to own the original coin, so this method can be considered extremely passive and low-risk.
Semi passive methods
AirdropAirdrop is a type of marketing strategy that involves sending multiple tokens or coins to crypto wallet addresses in exchange for completing small tasks, such as posting a message on social media. This is usually done to raise awareness... - This is a free analogue of cryptocurrency. By registering on new projects, users can get a certain number of free tokens. As a rule, this is done for promotion. New projects give out free tokens upon registration of community members or standard registration with provision of minimal personal information. Usually, the amount issued in the form of airdrop in terms of fiat currency will be small, but if you keep the tokens long enough, provided you choose a good project, they can increase in price, which will turn your digital savings into a significant amount.
In addition, airdrop coins, as a rule, can be mined on several resources, so in a short period of time you can get a considerable amount.
Earn [.] Com. With the Earn platform, monetizing time becomes extremely easy. After registration (you will need e-mail of a working company or educational institution) you create a profile on the site. Then you will start receiving money for receiving messages, providing answers and other tasks from other users of the platform. Currently, payment is made in bitcoins. The exact amount depends on you, but usually it comes down to your “importance.”
In addition, Earn also contains lists that you can subscribe to to receive messages from people from a particular demographic category or interest group. For example, there are lists of people from certain universities or professions. There is also a popular airdrop recipient list, which allows users to receive free tokens from projects in development.
Affiliate links... Many sites, for example, popular exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, offer referral programs where you get paid to acquire new customers.
This method probably will not bring a large income to the average person. However, if you have, for example, a popular blog or YouTube channel, which means a large audience, referral links can be quite lucrative. These programs are usually paid by tokens from the stock list. Coinbase pays a fixed amount in bitcoins, while Binance charges a certain percentage of fees to your account that are charged to the people you hire - in the form in which the collection itself was made (either the coin itself or BNB).
