The cryptocurrency market is inextricably linked to speculation, which in itself shows that it is not a space for the faint of heart. Trading Bitcoin and altcoins can not only make you rich, but also completely gray your hair, and sometimes even make you go bald.
Fortunately, as active participants in the cryptocurrency market, we are not limited to trading. In the latest episode of "I heard it at Bitcoin ATM, Bitcoin ATMI present five ways to earn money from crypto without actively trading digital assets. 🧘♂️
Assuming that we have a certain amount of cryptocurrency, we have several options for managing our portfolio in such a way that the accumulated funds continue to work for us.
The blockchain ecosystem offers a wide range of decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions that allow you to generate profits simply by participating in the system—without having to track charts every day and make stressful investment decisions.
The most well-known option for passive income in crypto is staking, which involves earning interest in exchange for locking your tokens in a specific pool. For many investors, this is a much better alternative than keeping their funds in a bank deposit, where the real profit—after taking inflation into account—often turns out to be negligible.
In the case of staking, the situation is different—our cryptocurrencies can regularly generate additional tokens without the need for active trading.
Another alternative is to provide liquidity to decentralized DeFi protocols, for which we receive rewards in the form of tokens. This process, known as yield farming, can be very profitable, but it comes with increased risk.
The volatility of trading pairs can lead to what is known as impermanent loss, which occurs when the value of deposited assets falls below the level at the time they were locked in.
It is often said that by possessing the private key to your cryptocurrencies, you become your own bank. This comparison makes even more sense in the context of cryptocurrency loans.
In the world of crypto, we can make our funds available in lending pools and earn regular interest on them, just like traditional financial institutions.
All of the methods described above assume that we already have a certain amount of cryptocurrency that can generate passive income. But what if we are starting from scratch and do not have any capital that could "work" for itself?
The answer is airdrops, i.e., free token drops awarded to the most active users of a given project. Sometimes it is enough to be in the right place at the right time—other times, real activity in the ecosystem is rewarded.
Airdrops are free tokens received for fulfilling simple conditions, such as registration, using a wallet, participating in testnets, or being active on the project's social media.
You probably heard more than once in school that in adulthood no one will pay you to wander around and do various activities, such as playing. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Today, there are a plethora of apps on the market that reward their users for playing various games(play to earn) or performing activities such as... walking.
Yes, there are platforms that award you a certain pool of tokens depending on the number of steps or exercises you perform. You have probably heard many times that in adult life, no one will pay you for playing or "loafing around." The cryptocurrency market effectively debunks this myth.
