Topic: Start In Crypto Without Investment (Read 490 times)

Trade you skills for some Bitcoin or other coins of your choice, that'll be the best way to start your journey in the space without actual cash involvement. There are many skills that can be taking advantage of in the crypto space, visit top sites relating to cryptocurrency and you'll see news of wanting to hire certain professionals or skill jobs and this jobs probably have very decent payrate and again it will give you the exposure not many will have and increase your chances of profiting from the industry through investment.

The simplest skills as community management also can be a very good start, we have numerous project coming out daily and some are in search of their social platforms managers and willing to pay for that. The bad news here is most might likely want to pay in their native token but if you're a good negotiator you can get some percentage in fiats. Start with this and save funds for investment.

You're right, learning is the most expensive form of investment and will definitely yield a decent return in the end. Knowledge will save us from all kinds of investment risks. Although the loss of money can be covered slowly, but not with wasted time.


It's all a matter of individual choice to start their learning. Not a few people who have to suffer losses first to learn something.

Not a bad option. Of course Coinbase will give you almost 50$ to do their learning thing so there is always that route as well

I have several times converted my fiat to crypto, but with a very small amount of fiat itself.
But that is not the starter that I did.
I got my payment firstly from joining bounty in this forum and also doing some airdrops at that time. At that time, it really worked enough and this turned me to earn more money from bounty and airdrop.
I also didn't have any bravery to invest my money at first because I didn't have enough money and also still needed to learn much about crypto investment.
But the time as time flows, after some learning, I tried to deposit some amount of money to buy a little bit of tokens and coins and make some investment. However, after taking profits, I withdrew all my fiat and continue earning by not investing again, but by using the payment from bounty nd airdrops

You make a point but most of the airdrops that require 5mins usually give out a worthless crypto payment or just randomly select 5 people out of 10,000 people that participated in their airdrop.

Yes, and people like John Paulson (who's a Hedge fund manager) still believe cryptocurrency is nothing that why he predicted the cryptocurrencies market to go to zero. I guess it is because of his prediction of the US housing market to experience downfall thats correct.

Learning is an investment anyway but some people want shortcuts and consider this as only a waste of time rather than to start immediately. They just overthink the market like joining airdrops and faucets gives them the benefits they wanted $$$. But sad to say that these things never work great, they just lose their time as well and blame the market.

I think, learning isn't enough and that we need experience which it is obviously needs money.  Honestly, we can't go farther if we don't have money, it definitely we have to spend a few buck rather than just relying to faucets and airdrops.

Yeah, it's kind of bad after tron acquisition, give try to hive.blog.

I can't say I'm happy with Steemit.com
I joined the platform writing articles about crypto because I work on this industry, even started getting early reviews and tips. My husband also registered there and wrote articles about programming. But since we have the same IP address and the same laptop models, the Steemit platform decided that this one user has several accounts. They blocked our accounts. When we explained the situation, the admins did not listen to us. It's like it's such a strange thing in this world to have identical laptops.

Starting crypto doesn't have to be with money. Starting by learning it is already an investment. But if your investment intent here is money, then I used to start with Fauchet. Because I have known Bitcoin for more than eight years. At that time Fauchet paid me quite a lot before the price of BTC was very expensive as it is today. From getting a faucet I can use it for trading until now. After the faucet I got to know this forum and from this forum I got additional income, but this is not instant, it takes a long process and hard work.

You are contradicting your statement like you said airdrops are one way of starting with crypto and then you said yet to see someone gaining from it so there seems lack of clarity in this statement.

Airdrops were one of the common way of gaining coins in past days and in 2017 it was at peak during the ICO run but it turned out to be scam ones more than the legit ones in the market.Through these airdrops the personal information is at risk and you will get some fake tokens that might not get listed at all on ang exchange so what's the fun of going through all of this shit? Then even if it's listed you get to see whales dumping them as soon as it's listed so you lose all the funds at negligible value.They are the worst way to start with crypto according to me and same is bounty hunters.Avoid them and try some other ways which will pay you less but will surely pay you.

Before being capable of earning tons of assets it's still ideal to invest with the knowledge first because this looks like the foundation to make yourself aware, and knowledgeable to the world of investment. With that knowledge, you can create your plan and paths towards the proper decision in investment. Well, the risk is part of it so even though we can't prevent it still we can lessen the possibilities.

Same here. I have never once converted my fiat into crypto. Although bitcointalk.org is not the first place where I got my first bitcoin, but since 2 years ago until now this forum is my biggest passive income medium without investing (financially) that I can use in trading, betting and many others.

Maybe for members with more established reputations, they make this forum the only place to earn their main income as freelancers or merchandisers.

OP, you omitted bitcointalk.org and that's a grave mistake. I started here in 2017, not knowing any single thing about Bitcoin; here became my classroom. There was no way I could've invested in any project being the conservative type that I am. I started posting until I ranked up and was able to get into campaigns. I remember we used to earn upt to 0.015btc – 0.018btc then as full to senior members. With my weekly earnings, I started ploughing that back into assets that I could buy and that was how the investment rave caught on for me. Till date, I haven't invested a dime from my savings that I didn't earn here. So, I believe this site should also be included.

Time and Effort could be considered as an investment, not only money. In fact, what we do for now like doing signature campaigns is simply we are making an investment as well. We don't look for free anymore as this never exists in real life and indeed you're right, it was a scam thing that offers free like airdrops.

If we could spend money and time hanging outside, I think we can spare a few bucks and time into investing crypto as well. In fact, we are looking for a better future and this possibly will give us.

It's particular for the majority of the airdrops but I think there's still some airdrops that would just require you just to sign up and that's all done. It won't take 5 minutes of your time if you want to but I refrain in doing that.

True to that.

Many have thought that crypto is just nothing until they saw the value and market capitalization of it went up crazily. That's when their attention got startled and they've felt that they're too late with it although they are not yet.

Start crypto,without investment,for for now it's enough studying for crypto,and learned about crypto.Now if you realize you don't have investment, important is you learned about knowledge of crypto,after you are earning then you invest.

I believe the above user was right when she said getting crypto cannot be free even through the air drop you mentioned because it always require doing some certain task or holding some amount of crypto just like the Aqua airdrop the on Stellar which I participated.


The early days of every innovative concept always look a garbage in the mind of naive people just like what happened when internet was first introduced.

Actually there is, like those airdrops and if somebody voluntarily sends you some crypto that they want to give to you.

But going with the reality, earning crypto is actually earning money and people that even not into crypto understands this logic these days. Unlike a few years ago, they won't believe that earning crypto by any means is like earning money. They'll make fun of us that we're earning digital tokens that seems to have no value for them.

So, as it's like the actual and traditional way of earning. It's becoming common now that if you're a freelancer or remote worker, it won't be a surprise anymore that your employer might offer you to get compensated with bitcoin or any crypto that they or you prefer to agree with.

On this forum, if you have the ability then there are many things that you can do to start crypto without having to invest first. The good information, will help members here who really want to do it. Please note that getting crypto cannot be free, we must first try to do something before we will get crypto because there is no crypto that can be obtained for free. If anyone offers crypto that can be obtained that easily without trying then it could be a scam. So be wiser and be careful in utilizing the crypto world.

I wouldn’t go to hive for free speech. The problem with hive is it’s now basically ran by about 20 whales who surprisingly have the same political and social views as Facebook and Twitter. If you have any political opinion outside their narrative they will just down vote you so you cannot earn anything from the platform.  Steemit didn’t used to be good either because of similar issues with Justin sun but he has now stepped down so it will be interesting to see what happens with that platform going forwards.. Right now blurt is the best for free speech as it has the feature of no downvotes and everyone seems very welcoming the currency is a little low but it’s easy to stack some up.

I think these platforms in general are a great way to start learning about crypto before investing personal money.

There are come and go social media platforms and each of them have their golden ages.

From what happened with Facebook and Twitter recent years, especially sinceTrump presidency so far, censorship and centralization are terrible factors. It destroys the freedom of speech. Creating a truly decentralized social media without censorship, hate, scam, etc. is challenging.

A project I am working with are aiming at building such. Their idea is great and obviously I wish they will succeed with their ambitious project. Let's see how ccFOUND can achieve it.
