Start in the cryptocurrency world can be frightening, specially when you have to put your own money into it without any guarantee that you will get it back at some point in the future.
Fortunately, there is ways to get some cryptocurrencies for free, including the "King of cryptos", Bitcoin.
You won't become a millionaire by using the methods below, but it can help you start dip your toes on this rising financial movement with almost no risks.
Below is a list of methods aviable to acquire/grow cryptocurrencies that have i already tested and used, and that i was able to withdraw some value to my private wallets.
They are divided by sections:
- Faucets - Sites where you can claim a small amount of cryptocurrency from time to time. Usually there is ads on these sites. It is recommended that you don't click on any suspicious ad, nor download anything from them.
- Rewards - These are some blockchain projects that just to use their platform/app/program. Usually they have their own criptocurrency, that can also be used to pay for services provided by the project.
- Stake/Invest - For these options, you will need to have some cryptocoins already. Here you will find some options to make your coins grow. Keep in mind there is always a risk associated with these options. Be sure to understand what they are before putting your money in any on these options.
And as always, remember the most important rule of cryptocurrencies:
Not your private keys, not your wallet
