Hey guys,
I thought I would explain how I've made some money in cryptocurrencies. It's nothing scammy, and it's not some shady investment to a Nigerian crypto-prince.
1. Get Paid To Browse Steemit
So since you're already on Steemit, you do likely know about Steemit. However, I'll run you through the basics just in case. Basically, every post and comment you make will pay you a value depending on how many upvotes it gets. Not all users upvotes are equal, older users with more Steem Power are worth the most. If you vote on something, you will get a portion of that posts value if it does well.
If you click on "Wallet" under my account, you will see that the crypto-currency currently in my account is valued at a little over $128 at the moment. Withdrawing currency and converting it into Bitcoin or USD (or any other currency) is a pretty painless process; I've taken money out on several occasions without any issue.
Several users of this website have actually made $1,000,000 +. This is the exception, not the rule. But making $100+ is very attainable without any real special effort. And the potential for more is definitely there.
If you have any questions or anything about how Steemit works, let me know and I'll try my best to answer.
2. Earn Daily Interest On Your Bitcoin
Now, if from any of this you get some Bitcoin that you decide you want to earn more on, I have an option for you: you can earn 4.08% per annum interest at this website here. It is paid out daily. You can also get free Bitcoin through their faucet on the front page as well.
Now, I'll put a small disclaimer right here so everyone knows what they are getting in for: this is not a bank, your funds are not government insured. It is possible to lose whatever funds you keep there if the owners decided to screw off with it. If you do anything here, it's at your own risk; don't come blame me.
With that being said, I have ~$1,000 of my own money there at the moment. FreeBitcoin is one of the oldest and most trusted websites in the crypto-world, and they have been paying out reliably for years.
Because someone will ask (for good reason, you should know), they fund the interest payments through the gambling portion of their website as well as through their massive Bitcoin mining operation (which can be verified through the information available on their site).
3. Bitcoin Surveys/Offers
This is the same old, same old - except it pays out in Bitcoin. I've done it some myself and got some okay amounts from it. I use BitcoinGet, found right here. I think it's worth some time to try out.
4. Crypto-Faucets
Normally, I don't recommend these, payouts are low and they can be really annoying. And for most of them, I would stay away. However, there are a few I find are worth the time for one simple reason: all of these faucets increase the payout the longer you go without claiming, so you don't have to use them very often. Between the regular payouts along with the Mystery Bonus, extra tokens, and the Loyalty Bonus, daily payouts can actually be pretty good. So here is the list of faucets I would suggest:
My routine is usually just to stop in once or twice per day and make a claim to keep my loyalty bonus alive.
All of these faucets collect their currency in CoinPot. CoinPot will let you convert between them, so you don't have to keep your currency in whatever you get. I convert all mine to Bitcoin before withdrawing them.
So there it is! In my opinion, most other ways to earn crypto are either high risk, or a waste of time. If you need to create a Bitcoin wallet for your holdings, I suggest Exeunt, it's kind of built for beginners.
If anyone has questions or anything, I'll do my best to help!
