(Disclaimer) I am not a financial advisor these are just my opinions & thoughts on the crypto-currency business space after doing my own research 4. ways of earning with crypto-currency that is different levels of time-frame for return on your investment put in.
N.o.1**(Holding) **
Holding a crypto currency for a period of time just like you would happily give your money to a banking establishment, in which they themselves will make investments & just quite often give you back your initial money or even may charge you for them holding it for you .
The most well known crypto is indeed Bitcoin
21ST Jan 2017 the value of Bitcoin was $ 917:00
20th Jan 2018 the value of Bitcoin is now $ 11,605:94 (may be different on various exchanges
N.o2 (Trading)
This may be in differing time-frames minute –trading, hourly trading, Day trading This in fact just a another format for the impatient person who does not like waiting with the N.o. 1 method mentioned earlier. There are in fact companies that offer a service with software to trade in seconds or milli-seconds if it is estimated that that will pay a winning trade .Obviously these software machines have been programmed by humans so it will lose as well as win.
N.o.3 (Arbitrage )
This is a method of buying a crypto coin at one exchange & then going to another exchange where the market value at that one is less than the first & selling it for a profit. Although I know of this one a little less from what I have read & researched many different countries have different laws & regulations on trading / exchanges so in different regions of the world the fluidity of a particular crypto coin is different from somewhere else.
N.o.4 (Steemit)
Here we have blogging platform that pays the writer of the blog/post in crypto coin, there is also other payments made if you comment on someone’s post or Resteem (like retweet) There can be certain conditions that need to be met in a ranking structure but that is only designed to encourage us to post more,or even making a more meaty comment than just “great post” or just a 1 ,2 or three word interaction. This is free to get started there is a wait time of around 1 to 2 days it can be a little tricky by yourself with all the things you need to learn to be better .
Along with a group of friends we are forming a help group to advise anyone who is interested in this one how better to use this platform so it gets the desired results .
