Help to secure bitcoin blockchain or altcoin blockchains
Every cryptocurrency that use blockchain technology have some kind of consensus mechanism in place to make it more secure and to prevent problems such as double spend and so on. Common protocols are POW aka Proof Of Work, or in short mining and POS aka Proof Of Stake.
With mining as a miner your job is to secure transactions and you will receive block reward every time that you mine a block. However, because of difficulty being high for any coin you will need to join a pool of miners. Mining Pool is essentially group of miners that united in order to mine blocks and usually reward is split between participants depending of the hash power that they provide. For mining you will need to have a hardware and you will need to cover electricity costs and maybe even cover the costs of maintenance, repair of your miners. So it certainly doesn’t come without a cost.
With Proof Of Stake you Stake you coins, you don’t actually mine them. To do so you will need to run a node 24/7 and depending on the cryptocurrency that you chose you will get fixed return in percentage yearly for holding some amount in your wallet and for keeping it open. Proof of Stake is easier in a sense that you won’t need to deal with much hardware and do maintence when needed. As you only need some computer to run a node, such as single board computer (Raspberry Pi, Parallella, PixelPro etc.).
Trading
This is one with the highest risk. But we can’t deny the fact that there are people who are making money by trading. This is not an easy job for sure as with it can bring a lot of stress.

Practice makes it perfect not just in trading but with any new skill that you want to learn. You want to practice and write down things you learn to know how to organize future trades based upon your past experiences.
