Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years then you’ll know that crypto has taken off in a big way. But how do you get into crypto without spending loads of money on crypto mining equipment or investing?
You don’t have to spend anything!
Below are 3 ways to get into crypto without spending anything but please note that there are affiliate links used below.
1. Watch videos, earn crypto
Odysee (powered by LBRY and pronounced Library) is a video site where you can earn crypto just by watching content.
You probably already watch YouTube and the best part is, many of your favourite content creators are probably on Odysee already.
Simply sign up for an Odysee account and watch your favourite content creators on Odysee instead. Simple!
As you watch content everyday you will earn LBRY credits (or part credits).
If you want to cash these out you will need to setup an account at global.Bittrex.com (this is an affiliate link).
A simple way to get into crypto for free and a chance to earn some money!
2. Change your browser, earn crypto
Brave browser has actually been around for a number of years but many seem to ignore it because it isn’t Google Chrome, Edge or Firefox. This is a real shame, because it’s actually built on Chromium, which Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome are as well, and can run any plugin that you have installed on Google Chrome.
Not only will it do everything that Google Chrome will do, it’s also got a built in privacy shield that blocks adverts and creepy cookies and pays you in BAT tokens for showing you a few adverts.
It’s my go to browser now and I’m not going back!
Simply download the browser, export your bookmarks from your other browser then opt in to Brave rewards.
Will you will inundated with adverts by signing up to Brave rewards? No! All you get is a few pop up adverts in the bottom right of the screen (about 5 a day) which look like the one below. Very unobtrusive and you barely notice them.
The final step is to sign up to Uphold which is where you can cash out your BAT tokens.
Uphold is a great wallet and features 0% deposit and 0% withdrawal fees. If you sign up for Blockreward (details below) the wallet can also be used for this as well.
3. Do things, earn crypto
Blockreward is a website that allows you to earn crypto and features loads of different things that you can do to earn it.
You can shop via their links, complete offers from their partners, try new apps and games, watch videos, complete surveys, complete quests and even earn some points for free every Friday via their social media feeds, phew!
Blockreward works by giving you points and once you get up to 1000 points you can swap these for $1 of your favourite crypto currency.
Currently they support cash out to the the following currencies – Bitcoin, Wrapped Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Bitcoin Cash, Chainlink, The Graph, Compound, Uniswap, Synthetix, Litecoin, Dash, 0x, BAT, Dai, USD Coin, Tether and TrueUSD. More than you can shake a stick at!
To cash out you will need to link your trusty Uphold account and whichever crypto you choose can be transferred into your Uphold account in no time at all.
Now it may take you a while to build up the points to cash out, but this is an excellent way to build yourself a little portfolio of crypto for free and if you already use the Uphold wallet there isn’t much more setup that you need to do.
So there you have it, 3 great sites to start your crypto portfolio and all that you can earn for free without investment and without building a crypto mining rig!
