5: Take part in the giveaways and be active in the communities. It will definitely reward you.

You mean, airdrops? Ehhh. That made this thread suddenly look like a not-so-subtle advertisement to your Twitter page that's mostly just airdrop referral spam anyway..

🤷

Nice alert.

@OP there are more ways to get cryptos without investing Like Airdrop, Microtasks, Games, Writing and Research Info Products,referral programs etc.,

People look at faucets only as as "waste of time" and only from perspective of user who click all day to get few cents. But faucets can be viewed from another perspective, of faucets owners and people who promote faucets via referral links. They do not need to spend 10 hours every day by solving captchas, and back in 2014 / 2015 it take me around hour to click all faucets via good faucet rotator and get x5 more from refs daily. Considering 500 000 satoshi more or less per day in my case, it is $50+ in today value, or $100 per day in late 2017. I could waste my 1 hour on playing games or watching tv, I'm glad I didn't.

Do you know any other crypto related service that give Lamborghini as reward? There would be nothing strange that this is coming from some crypto exchange, but it is from faucet - Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2 or $200,000 in bitcoins

Years ago, faucets are high, and the first signature campaign was run in the forum in June 2011 had high payrates too, at 0.1 BTC for three-month period.
[CLOSED] up to 50 people, get paid 0.10 BTC to change your signature

I was in one sig campaign that paid me 0.18 for a week and that was in 2015. That was less than $50 at the time but I knew it would be mind boggling at some point.

I'd be interested to know whether the dollar amounts faucets have paid has been wildly variable over the years or been very steady.

Actually, most of BTC that I got from faucets were received as referral cimmission, so, I didn't had to spend lot of time. I agree with your point about waiting long time until value will increase, but I didn't had to wait - these BTC from faucets were more than my monthly wage at the moment when I received it.

I don't agree with you. There was time when I was able to get more than my monthly wage just from faucets, I can't call it as bad thing. And about historical context - you forget how many people got introduce to Bitcoin and crypto world exactly through faucets.

No one's doubting that values may rise in future, though obviously it's a finite number that's going to become vastly more sluggish, but instead of spending ten hours to make a few bucks you can make more selling one old game or broken phone on Ebay and putting that into buying BTC.

You could've spent ten hours mowing lawns and sold a knackered phone and wound up with 10x more BTC for the same amount of time expended and probably less grind. The same has applied at any point.

You can take part in crypto without investing your physical cash. You can take part in bounties or airdrops and then you can invest that money. There are many other jobs too online that pay well so you can take part in them.

It was for years ago, when people can get decent amount of bitcoin through easy faucets, and they even were able to cheat. I did not join crypto in that period, but I saw some guys in my community talked about that. I agree that if sites give faucets to users, there is nothing wrong, or bad if they claim their faucets. Things are different in moral aspect if they cheat those sites and claim multiple faucets.

I agree about faucets. In past it was great thing and it was possible to get decent earnings from faucets, but now things had changed and faucets become waste of time in general.
But things that you're suggesting - giveaways, aidrops and etc, isn't much better than faucets. It's still waste of time and you will earn only peanuts from it. It's definitely not the best way to start without investing.

Faucets are a bad deal, no matter how you look at them, and they were bad even in historical context.

1: Don't EVER use faucets. They give u such a small amount that it's a waste of time, and you know what they say; time is money!

That is not actually true. In 2012 I when i first found Bitcoin did faucets for a day. Next day I forgot about it. Then two years latter I found that wallet and realized I was super well paid for that day. Of course Bitcoin price increased x100 in those two years.

So you are saying that people should work today for a few pennies per hour because in some distant future those pennies might increase in times by 50 or 100 times? Why not just get a good job and use a part of your salary to invest in Bitcoin and get much higher profits because the investment base would be much higher too? Not to mention better working conditions and job security. Faucets are a bad deal, no matter how you look at them, and they were bad even in historical context.

How much do you value your own time?

Because most of those avenues consume a vast amount of time for a piffling and very uncertain reward.

You could work a conventional job instead, put three quarters of what you earn in crypto, and still come out with more fiat and more crypto when you add up the amount of time expended.

Not enough people seem to think this through properly. 0.0001 BTC gained through 50 hours of dicking around with shittokens is truly wasteful. Time is your most valuable resource. Allocate it wisely.

Wise words, and on top of that all those bounty campaigns and giveaways don't teach people anything, as soon as they dry out their participants will have to find something completely new, while skilled work will always be in demand and there's usually a big room for carrier growth or switching jobs into something related.

You can consider airdrops,presently there is stellar gold and stratis airdrop ongoing on airdropbob dot com with good rewards for airdrop hunters

I think this requires KYC verification and the reward doesn't worth it. Other than this KYC verification airdrops,all of them are trash. Since 2018 till now, only BOMB token airdrop was significant airdrop. Otherwise, airdrop is a trash.

There is no doubt that faucets pay just dust these days, and even with huge number of referrals they are not profitable for users because referral commission is to low or even set to 0. Only people who make profit with faucets are faucet owners (but just some of them), others close their faucets in just few days or maybe weeks.

I make my first BTC from faucets, but this was in time when price of BTC was only $200, and I hold those coins so their value is go up x100 in just few years. Maybe there is some value in claim on faucets today, but only if all coins are converted to BTC and hold for few years.

Other things that OP is mentioned are also just chasing the dust most of time, a way of gambling with your time with uncertain outcome. Maybe it would be better to learn some skills (banner, signature, logo, web design) and offer such services for crypto. There is also an option to sell your personal items for crypto, just visit Marketplace board on this forum (always check user trust&use escrow).

Okay, so I started out a couple of months ago to take crypto seriously. After some research, I understood that it was a risky source of income. Therefore I set a personal goal not to invest any money in it. It took me a couple of weeks to understand how to actually earn crypto when starting with nothing. Here are some tips for those of you who want to do the same:

To be honest, I put only around 10-20$ of my personal money into crypto. The rest is purely from the bounty campaigns who paid me. I'm just lucky with them and also I learn how to manage them efficiently. Anyway, I will answer all of your tips Wink

Faucets are a waste of time definitely. It is only profitable if you have many referrals because you can get a percentage of what they are claiming. More referrals = faucets are not a waste of time for me.

Not familiar with this sites but if they can give you few bucks then try their websites.

3: Get yourself telegram, twitter, and discord. Most cryptos use these platforms.

I have accounts in all 3 of them but unfortunately, I'm not active with the 3 social media platforms already because I'm not active on bounty campaigns anymore (except sig camp.)

Giveaways are sometimes good because they can give you money for free if you are lucky to win. Just join in giveaways and not the fucking airdrops.

There are other ways now just what BAT started where you can earn by simply watching ads on your computer. Verasity also offers a similar program without downloading any browser. If you are someone who spends a lot of time in front of a computer, then you may consider those two.

You forgot bounty campaigns, those can also be solid way to earn some crypto, especially if you are willing invest some time in it, like making YT videos or writing articles, but even something simple like twitter and facebook campaign could yield you some tokens.It is risky though, as you never know if those token will be worth anything, but its still solid start.

Some to-do things to join crypto world:
- Read and learn about bitcoin (creator, history, units, block rewards, block halving time, wallets, explorer, transaction fees.)
- Read and learn what are: scam projects, scammers; and how to detect them.
- Read and learn what are forked/ cloned / scammed coins from Bitcoin (history of their forks, and their price movements so far, high or low, or death)
- Read and learn about other things (altcoins, tokens); starting with top, famous, and long history; starting from coinmarketcap.com.
Jumping directly into bounties neither help you get rich nor building your fortune in crypto.

There are few faucets that still makes sense because the project is still new and the coins difficulty hasnt skyrocket yet so the faucet payout will be high

The problem is that when coins rise, they also begin to decrease their payments. Not to mention when these faucets pay at the beginning, but then they empty it or become a scam and you realize that you are losing a lot of time.

None of your statement is correct other than #1, true, faucets are the worst where newbie waste their time. Following giveaway or others will get you nothing. Better trade with crypto with a small investment.
I would recommend you to invest small amount in BTC for future.

100% agreed. Faucets have their place in the crypto world but they aren't profitable at all, just a waste of time.

You can also check out the Giveaways on this forum, there are some good ones around and if you meet the requirements (often they require Merit to prevent abuse) you can try your luck. Right now, all of them are closed but it's likely that there will be more of them in the future.
