If you mean to say the least risky method in making money out of crypto, then I should say that's from participating in a signature campaign.
No method of earning comes without prior investment. In signature campaigns which this forum has proudly allowed, the investment is your forum account and its current running status to join in and the gradual growth of that. Indeed it is a low risk method but with that as a start more options are needed which includes investing in casino bankrolls, buying bitcoin if possible with fiat by cost averaging or buying every dip.

Also it is always a good option to look into traditional assets too, members of this forum might disagree but they make up a minority of this entire world and that is run by traditional assets.

Staking is never something I recommend.

If you mean to say the least risky method in making money out of crypto, then I should say that's from participating in a signature campaign. You earned what you worked for, and as long as you follow the rules and stay as relevant as you are, you will always be safe. Unlike trading, there's no certainty if you'll end up profitable, that's why I always see it as a high risky method of making money. I prefer long term hodling instead.

Investing + sig campaign is a great choice, in my opinion.
You can either use the funds from the campaigns for the investment or just accumulate them for the future.
Many possibilities are out there, you just need to grab them and follow the rules.

Talking about risky investments in crypto assets is very difficult unless you invest in stable coins then it will be suitable. So basically crypto is high risk even with a small amount you invest in fact price fluctuations cannot be avoided. If you are serious about managing spot trading and farming airdrops alone, it is good enough. Plus if you want a long-term investment then you know where to put your money. Now it's never too late to continue accumulating bitcoin if your finances are stable then it will be very helpful.
You will not get any profit in holding stablecoin, stablecoin only to secure assets from agility because the value will remain 1: 1 with USD and stablecoin the same as Fiat centralized so that the risk remains high.
If you want to invest even though the risk is high, then Bitcoin is the best choice for now, but how much profit gained will depend on patience to hold it the longer you hold it, the greater the benefits that might be achieved
Farming airdrops is the best even you can get zero but the risk almost zero too.
Stable coins offer no upside and offer the possibility of losing everything, as in theory a stable coin cannot go above the dollar parity but it can go all the way to zero, an unfortunate scenario we have seen several times before, so it is way better to avoid them as a long term investment option, and instead invest in bitcoin which is the most solid coin on the market, still we must be careful as even if the price has a tendency to go up, if an investor makes a bad move they can still lose their money.

Trading should be limited to spot trading and that too only bitcoin and maybe the top few altcoins. Trading is always a long term game, do your homework on the coins and only buy at the low and sell at the high. Theses are basics.

Next you can invest in casino bankroll, very few options nowadays but it is a long term investment.

Do not invest in staking, it is loss in the long term and often scams are masquerading in it.

Beyond this, there are few options. Be sure to invest in traditional markets too if you cannot convert fiat to BTC easily, they are also not bad and goo enough alters until bitcoin can pick up new things.

Trading can sometimes feel isolating, and while it’s not always difficult, there are frustrating moments. For example, I bought Rune at $5, and it's been retracing for months with no sign of returning to my entry point anytime soon. I guess I’ll just have to hold.

This brings me to the purpose of this thread. To stay active, I’ve got stables in my portfolio and I’m looking for advice. Between launchpools and other low-risk investment options, which is better for retail traders, and what risks are involved?
The best way to make money will always be long term holding of course, because if you are long term holding then you are going to benefit a lot. People here saying holding are not lying and this is why so many people are saying it, if you are looking at making good money from trading then we are going to end up with a good result and shouldn't be worried about it and if we do that then we are going to be fine but at the end of the day if we are looking at just the long term holding and DCA type of methods then we are going to end up with making a good amount of trouble without much issues.

It should be clear that we are going to see this getting a bigger problem without much issues. So this is going to be something that will get a good result as long as we trust what we are dealing with.

I don't think trading is a "less risky method", trading require a strong mental since you need to be brave to sell your coins when you think it's possible to earn more and at the same time dare to cut loss.

Less risky method is get a job and learn a high salary skill, you're only risking your time, effort and some capitals (but not as high as trading).

Airdrop farming do count as less risky method, but launchpools isn't because you're risking all of your money in centralized exchange.
Trading is indeed a high risky method that will make you earn quick and huge profits but will also lose your funds in just a blink of an eye if you are not cautious while risking your funds.

Instead, I'll go for DCA. The risk is less if you are doing it regularly with your spare money, but if you are borrowing your capital just to accumulate bitcoin, it's even a high risky attempt that you will only regret in the end. DCA is good if you have a sustainable flow of income, if not, it's still as risky as trading.

If you can bear the risk of staking your coins on a third party exchange, without minding the implications, then it's also one way you can earn in crypto without becoming a trader. Staking gives you the chance to earn a certain APY on your coins but the challenge is that you are not in complete control of your assets and if any issue should arise with the exchange, you might lose your asset. Another means to earn is through lending, you lend your crypto to your friends with the agreement for a certain repayment amounts.
That means risk is involved in everywhere if we talking about trade and also staking in the exchanges, but staking is less risky and it's depend on exchanges issue, if exchanges is hacked then our staking fund will be lose, there are no other big risk like trading or invest in high volatile coins, i think staking is better to lend my money through my friends.

There's no investment that doesn't have risk attached, remember the saying, "anything that has advantage, also has disadvantage."  The difference is that some investment has a low risk, while some have a high instant risk that can liquidate your asset as fast a possible. The aspect of lending your crypto to a friend can still be risky because if they don't pay back, you will be at lose.

I think the best option you can stick to as a newbie trader or retail trader as is this case, is to join and participate in mining hamster_kombat coins which is a model of one of the tap-to-earn games launched in March 2024.
One only has to tap to mine #hamster coins of which offers new code word and card combinations that is certain to reward players with up to 6 million redeemable tokens.
other popular projects like Tapswap, Notcoin, Blum, and Dotcoin are similar web3 clicker games which share same model of operation and profit per Hour (PPH) earnings with maximum benefit.
It looks to be easy way to make money but I am against this idea because people mostly fail in control of their greed. If they participate in these easy-money-making games, they will love these games and forget about risk. When they start to think all things are rosy, no risk existence in games they are participating in, they will start to engage in risky games.

Many people lost money because they believed in Play-to-Earn projects, games and tokens but ignored facts on risk of these tokens that are very inflationary. Play to earn, the name says it, you play, you earn, so who pay and where is resource of payment.

The same risk exists with Tap To Earn and other Earn models.
As long as you don't use the money to buy those tokens on the exchange, if you just join their game and earn rewards by quests, I don't see any risk at all. I have also joined tap to earn projects on telegram like notcoin, cati, hamster and Blum...I don't see any risk and have also earned some valuable tokens, so far.

I do not deny that these projects will sooner or later collapse and disappear like P2E projects in the 2021 bull market but if we join for free and do not invest in any form. I think we will be fine.

The risk only comes to us when we use money and invest in these projects without any prior research.

Pretty sure anything in trading involves some level of risk and I can't exactly say any of them is low in level. I'd guess the lowest you can get is either investing in Bitcoin (or any coin you think is going to last long) which yields better rewards in the long run imo, as well as mining coins yourself. There are still some level of risks but they're a lot more manageable compared to investing god knows how much in altcoins who are going to die in the next few weeks after release, or at least most of them anyway. You can try shorting them but that's not exactly low risk.

Hi everyone, good day. I noticed BTC is seeing some good price action today, though I’m not sure how sustainable it will be—let’s hope for the best. I’m not really into futures trading as I don’t have the patience for it. I stick to spot trading and airdrop farming.

Trading is the only potential way to make profits with crypto currency than other schemes for example staking, investing on casino bankroll which all produce very low return like 7% on an average I guess.

That leaves back you to trading again but there are multiple options for you in the trading itself from short term, long term, leverage, futures but apart from long term trading everything has high risks so better stuck with your fundamental analysis and pick better coins than random shitcoins.

AsidesTrading, What Are Less Risky Methods of making money in crypto
Bug, there are not many options you can do in the crypto world.
1. Mining options.
2. Trading options.
3. Investment options.

These three options are commonly used by many crypto users, these three features make money, depending on how you do it, the point is that everything has risk, there is no part of crypto that has no risk, especially in trading.

So whatever you want to do, the main thing you have to apply is study so that you master all the knowledge you want to do, even though it has risks, at least you can overcome that, my advice is don't do anything in the crypto world, if you Don't want tolearn in the activities you want to do.
Remember, whatever type of work or activity you do, there are risks, so if you have knowledge in this matter you can overcome these risks and produce what you want.

There are always risks in investing, there is no investment without any risks but it can be said that there are investments that are less risky.

Both investing and trading is risky. Trading is more risky than investing but if you leverage your trading positions or your investment position, you are escalating risk for your positions and it means higher probability to lose money in trading and investment.

But think oppositely, we can clearly and easily see that by avoiding leveraging our positions in either investment or trading, we are minimizing risk and can control our positions better, hence reduce severity of loss if it comes. So either investment or trading, do this with your own money, say no to leverage use and it's good approach to go, but still not guarantee any profit.

Everyone's view is different but I prefer to invest in the long term, choose a good asset and keep it for the long term, but you have to choose carefully and look for assets that may have the potential for significant growth in the long term.
Investment is very good way to spend your money, and get passive income. Like if you invest money from your salary in bitcoin, hold it for some years, it does not require you to do so much with your bitcoin in your non custodial wallet. Simply create and back up your wallet properly, keep them safely and when Bitcoin grows up well in price, you will get profit passively and easily.

launchpools are a good option for investors especially when they are on reliable and well-known exchanges, but of course they involve risks as the price of the coin can drop significantly after it is listed so you have to monitor it and sell it at the best price.

Bitcoin movement today have a good move as the price can touch $60k. That make the market situation green and many altcoin also move to go up. Hopefully, this situation will be like that and the correction is end for now but it will come again in the next high price.

If you bought Rune at $5 but the price now is not increase, you should have patience. The Rune price now is at $4.14 so there still have a chance to increase higher. When the altcoin season come, RUNE can get the time to increase if the coin have a chance.

Trading is not easy so you have to learn more about analyzing the market. Launchpool and low risk investment option should be good for trader but each thing will have its risks so you must know how to avoid the big risks. This situation is not easy to trade because there will be many surprise and shock moment that we don't know and that can make us worry. So be careful.

since the market is a bit on the higher price anyway, I think it's not good idea to invest without leverage, if you want to manage risk and just minimize that risk as much as possible just settle with launchpools, the risk almost non existent with them then wait until the price dumps first only then you can make entry.

if you invested in RUNE as you said, the coin is already pumping 6% by the way, and I think you can always hold it until BTC last bullrun come, it needs few dips before it can happen and the next dip is probably the last from my speculation.

for your stables, just let it grow with launchpools in the meantime, there's upcoming CATI, and HMSTR launchpool in binance, and MAJOR though im not feeling confident with MAJOR. will be listed too in binance since from the data binance listed too few of a coin last month it will compensate for it this month. all of them probably always ton ecosystem related.

HODL - BTC
Futures trading is high risk, so avoid it if you don't have the patience.

Spot trading is a little risky compared to futures, but when you choose some altcoins that are stuck it will be difficult to recover, so so far I have not chosen many altcoins except for a little ETH in the portfolio.

If you want to be safer, then investing in Bitcoin do DCA strategy maybe this is much better in the long run you can make money in the future.

Do you want to follow launchpool? Maybe Binance and Bybit can be your choice. Make sure to stake with stablecoins.

If you are not a professional trader yet, then it’s just better you stay away from future trading, just stick to spot trading, and airdrop mining. Currently,  there are still some telegram mining bots, which I will encourage you to participate in. Don’t just think about future trading, because if you are not careful, you might end up losing everything you have, so the best thing is just to avoid it. You can just stick to spot trading, and you're going to be making money from it and also airdrops.

Trading can sometimes feel isolating, and while it’s not always difficult, there are frustrating moments. For example, I bought Rune at $5, and it's been retracing for months with no sign of returning to my entry point anytime soon. I guess I’ll just have to hold.
When you trade, you are supposed to be patient sometimes, you don’t just expect coins to start pumping immediately you purchase them, so sometimes it’s going to take time before they start rising, so all you should do at that moment is just to hold, and when the price bounces back and you are in profit, you can sell.

I think you did the wrong way of trading rune if you are trading in a spot exchange you should always buy at the dip price but to successfully do that you should also analyze the Bitcoin price since most of the altcoins/tokens are dominated by Bitcoin almost 50% plus if you just analyze the rune alone without checking the current trend of BTC then you miss it.

Anyway, since you are looking for a less risky method of making money in crypto did you tried to do some task provided from Bitget wallet you can find it on the earning center you just need to do the tasks like swapping from TRX USDT to USDT on ton network as sample binding exchange or like sharing the project on Twitter X. It is less risky since it is free you just need a small amount like $10 to $20 usdt in your bitget wallet to do the task like swapping and you can later swap them back to whatever you like once you receive the reward or airdrops from Bitget. You can also join to tap2earn games tap2airdrops most of them are going to be listed soon like hamster kombat, tomarket, and blum. There are many of them on telegram it is free you don't need to invest so it is not risky as you are trading with crypto.

Before buying any coin, make sure you do your research first, whether you are buying at a high price or not and how the coin is developing.
The Runes project is still fairly new, and it's still under development, you may need to hold on to it for the long term.

If you are a trader, then choose a definite coin with a large volume and ongoing development.
Buying Bitcoin or ETH or a top altcoin with a fairly fast movement can be an option.

Airdrop farming probably won't have any risks, except with the time that must be provided and some thirsty tasks to be done.
Some airdrops also do not pay directly and take a long time.

I've also been an airdrop hunter for a long time and made quite a bit from airdrops, besides that following some of the Launch pools held by the Exchange right now could be another alternative.

If you can bear the risk of staking your coins on a third party exchange, without minding the implications, then it's also one way you can earn in crypto without becoming a trader. Staking gives you the chance to earn a certain APY on your coins but the challenge is that you are not in complete control of your assets and if any issue should arise with the exchange, you might lose your asset. Another means to earn is through lending, you lend your crypto to your friends with the agreement for a certain repayment amounts.

There is some risk like all those lending platforms which went bankrupt 2 years ago and you can have some DeFi get hacked and lose your tokens.
Oh this. Yeah I remember it. It was so tragic, so I won't say that its risk is only 'some'. Even though staking is different from trading, it may still not be considered by the OP due to its said level of risk.

But there are no other ways really
There are still actually. What about investing in Bitcoin and other similar cryptos which are also old age and have a good potential like ETH?

unless you perhaps use some L2 and hope for an airdrop, but these arent very profitable these days
There are two types of airdrops now. One is paid and the other is free. The free ones must have no risk, so what can we expect from them? It's only normal that we can only earn less profit on them and most of the times zero. Airdrops are the same as investing or trading a crypto like if we pick up a bad project or airdrop we can't also earn a good profit or there will be no profits that will be earned at all.

Is there any low risk investment options in crypto space? I think it is only Bitcoin that have less risks because it is trusted by all and it is the pioneer cryptocurrency that literally control the crypto market.

Altcoins investments are generally risky, you need to de extra research to be able to be safe with your investment. You can gain money easily and you can as well lose witching short periods of time because altcoin investors are always at alert, sometimes they are the once manipulating the price of any coin they bought, they have entry level and exit level, if you have no any information about that, and you happens not to smart to get out once you get small profit, you might lose all your money because the investors do work with time and it seems like they knows how to manipulate the market to favor them.

Talking about risky investments in crypto assets is very difficult unless you invest in stable coins then it will be suitable. So basically crypto is high risk even with a small amount you invest in fact price fluctuations cannot be avoided. If you are serious about managing spot trading and farming airdrops alone, it is good enough. Plus if you want a long-term investment then you know where to put your money. Now it's never too late to continue accumulating bitcoin if your finances are stable then it will be very helpful.

Nothing is risk free in the cryptocurrency market. There are only two ways to make money while keeping the risk at lower side - mining and staking!

However these two methods are not risk free. The price volatility risk will always be there. So you can try these options if you are not a risk taker.

But if you are interested in NFTs and memecoins, then move back to trading. Because trading is less risky than these shitty things.

Your understanding towards trading or hodling will determine if cryptocurrency is very much risky or not. Trading can be very risky because of because of the task that one needs to meet up with, it is something one needs to learn very well and their is no shortcut about it .  

Hodling is a bit easy but if one lacks patience to hodl and also lacks understanding about the market volatility I think then it can be considered as very risky for one to go into. Normally cryptocurrency has it own risk but the ability to understand cryptocurrency reduce the risk that it has. The less risky method to invest or trade cryptocurrency is to have a good understanding about it,  the better understanding then the less risk.

You can consider investing on reputable coins probably not too highily volatile but potential to increase in value and just hold while staying tuned in the spot makert since you can't hold too long and the only spotted risks are your impatient to sell to quick at lost while the market is still promising.
You are saying the same as what I intended to recommend to OP, but I'd like to go more extreme.

A less risky method of making money in cryptocurrency market is Bitcoin. Use your money that you got from whatever legal ways, purchase bitcoin, and hold it for a long time. It's less risky and I sneak peek a fact to newbies too, it's most profitable method in long term too.

My saying is based on past records of Bitcoin ROI table and ROI chart in comparisons to other assets. It's true in comparison with altcoins too.

Holding Bitcoin for a long term investment will be better and less risky especially if you can buy at the low price. You don't have to do anything except hold Bitcoin in your wallet, not in exchanges but in your private wallet. I don't know with holding altcoin but holding Bitcoin will be better. Maybe you can hold ETH or BNB or even staking them in Binance but we don't know how long Binance will exist so if you hold Bitcoin in your private wallet and not doing anything, you may have a chance to make a big profit in the future. Buying altcoin can be another way but you must buy at a very low like when you buy ETH when ETH first launch and you can hold that until now. But unfortunately, we don't know how the future of the altcoin so that will be too risky for you instead just hold Bitcoin.

Not your keys, not your coins!
I stick to spot trading and airdrop farming.
Better to avoid trading even Spot trading.

With airdrop farming, make sure you know that you can be refused by project teams by Sybil attack checks and make sure you know about risk of interactions with smart contracts. If a project is scam, and you interact with their smart contracts, your filled wallets will be drained out, you will lose money in these wallets to scammers.

Trading can sometimes feel isolating, and while it’s not always difficult, there are frustrating moments. For example, I bought Rune at $5, and it's been retracing for months with no sign of returning to my entry point anytime soon. I guess I’ll just have to hold.
With altcoins, they have very short lifespans. Altcoins like $RUNE are created a lot during a bull market but they will die in a bear market. Holding altcoins like $RUNE means hold to die. Die here means you will lose your money.

Don't hold altcoins. With them, if you feel your position is bad, make a cut loss and exit that position. After failing with altcoins, you will see Bitcoin is your best choice.

try to see some new project that recently got funded by VC maybe they allow staking using stablecoin though you should carefully see whether the contract is perfectly audited to prevent your money from being hacked but I've seen plenty of new VC funded project that might yield better APY while also carries less risk than future trading.

or if you're too afraid of staking in new project you can always stick with established platform, try to find and calculate PT yield in pendle or the APR in morpho, both of the platform is hot right now for people who seek place to invest their unused money.

I personally always bought PT stablecoins and wait for maturity.

If you don't want to trade then the other way is to stake some tokens or stablecoins. There is some risk like all those lending platforms which went bankrupt 2 years ago and you can have some DeFi get hacked and lose your tokens.

But there are no other ways really unless you perhaps use some L2 and hope for an airdrop, but these arent very profitable these days. Or you can do some coding work or design work and get paid in crypto which is no different from a job.

Kind of like promoting a signature on bitcointalk. You get like $50-100 a week as long as your rank is high enough. But its not a passive income, you need to put some work into it.

Launchpad are good way to invest into altcoins but not all the launch pool project are always successful hence that's going to be a challenge for you to find a good one to invest into. Since you're trading, why not invest in Bitcoin instead of looking for the next big altcoins to invest into. Altcoins can be good investment when you find the next one to explode but if you invest into the one that's getting sold, you won't be happy about that. Investing in Bitcoin should be a better low risk investment option. You can stake your stablecoin too and get nice percentages, I know staking stablecoin is risky as you'll have to leave your stablecoin on exchange to receive the rewards but you're already risking it by trading and leaving your money on exchange. Why not risk more and get the best value of the risk that you're taking. You can stake for small numbers of weeks and not lock them up for months without having access to your stablecoin because anything can happen.

If you are looking for less risky ways to get profit in this field of crypto, I can recommend Bitcoin, Ethereum, Pol, Bnb, Trx, and others that are in the top listing in the market. It's up to others who are also on the top list.

It's just that all cryptocurrencies have risks associated with them, so it's really necessary to be wise in choosing if you want to get a nice profit here. And you should also learn trading properly, though it's not really easy to do; just be patient.

Trading is risky even worse, when you use leverages, these risks are immediately multiplied to exponential levels.

I  have used both low investment yield opportunities that are offered by exchanges or Defi platforms and truly, in order to make a significant amount with these method, you need to put down plenty of money into it otherwise, the rewards are nothing to write home about with smaller capital.

Launchpools (whether Binance, Bitget or Bybit) is no different because the competition here is high and this results in plenty of dilution since the pot is fixed but the participants cap is uncapped.

This is why trade is called a high risk, "high reward" scheme

Trading is actually a high risky activity, and we all know that. Most particularly for beginners, they should never rush into trading no matter how well financially prepared they are. At least, consider buying and hodling bitcoin first.   The risk is only minimal and if you are doing it with passion and patience, you will certainly succeed in time. DCA is the key. Just enter trading after you have gained good experiences in the market, and trade only when you have acquired already sufficient amount of bitcoin to trade.

Trading is for the knowledgeable and risk takers, so it is not an everybody thing if you ask me. Now to investing which is quite less risky than trading and it is the type of trading I actually advice people to go into most especially newbies but this comes with a huge risk if it is Alt-coins you want to trade most people will tell you to stick to top alt coins but I rate them almost the same In terms of risk. The reason why I advise against investing into altcoins is that the dip is always a tricky one, there are majority of them that do not recover from the dip again and even if they do recover to get to a higher point is very difficult for them as many investors might have already lost their interest during its dip. The money used to invest most especially altcoins should be an amount an you can afford to lose, no matter the ranking of the coin on market

Long term investment is the best way to make money in crypto, if you could buy bitcoin and hold then you are going to make a great income, and that's the most important part. I know that it doesn't feel like it's quick enough method but it certainly makes people rich if they do that long term. I think earning is also something that people enjoy these days, could be from airdrops, could be bounties, could be signature campaign income, could be getting paid by some projects to be their moderators, doesn't matter what the job is, people work and earn money in the crypto world as well and that makes a good income.

This is why I like to combine them both, I have a normal job that I make money from and I live with that, and I make money in the crypto world by working and that income goes to long term holding those and eventually that becomes something good for me. I believe it is not going to be that easy to handle it all ,but it is not that impossible neither.

Trading is all about timing the market well, if you can't do that, you will face what you are facing right now. The highest point for RUNE was $11.46 or something and it touched that point on the 13th of March, this year, after that, it started dropping and the lowest point it dropped to was $4.35 or something around that within a month after hitting $11+.

After that drop, it went up to $7.3+ in the next few weeks. Now, if you had bought it when it was around $4.5 or $5 before it went back up to $7+, you could easily exit with some profit at $7 if you weren't to become greedy and think it would go higher and you would get more profit.

Remember, take profit when you have the opportunity. Greed won't let you stay profitable for long when you are in a financial market such as this one.

Buy Bitcoin and hold, there is a high chance that the price will go above the current all-time high this coming year.

Hi everyone, good day. I noticed BTC is seeing some good price action today, though I’m not sure how sustainable it will be—let’s hope for the best. I’m not really into futures trading as I don’t have the patience for it. I stick to spot trading and airdrop farming.
