Topic: Start In Crypto Without Investment (Read 551 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.

Cryptocurrency is a very wide industry, where you can earn crypto without investing your hard earn money, but sacrifice most take place buy earning through your time, by joining bounty campaign participation and also mining coin up coming project.

Am not familiar with any of the sites you mentioned but the fews ways i know you can actually start crypto without investing are bounty, Airdrops and signature campaign there you can earn tokens though you have to work to earn and you could face some challenges like scam project which might end up not paying, tokens not listed on any exchange to mention a few. But when you start with investment you can easily make profit even though there is risk of loss its the best way for me.

Starting cryptocurrency without investing is a good step. When starting cryptocurrency  what one needs to start with is to get the basic knowledge about cryptocurrency and learn how to manage investment.  Not learning and rushing to make investment not cool for novice, so I would advice anyone who is new in cryptocurrency to learn first than to start with investment.

It can only be done if they are willing to learn. This forum also has a lot of stuff that can tell users about bitcoins, wallets and other stuff if they want, but it's pointless if in the end they just want to make money. I can only point out to you that there have been many experiences I've had personally that didn't work in my favor because of my incompetence or my indifference to quality. Learning a lot lets us know a lot, so quality will be well formed in this way.

As many people say, when we have an interest, then we must learn a lot to know a lot about what we are interested in. This will open up more opportunities to achieve something in the end.

We can start the crypto learning straight away with simple Google search, probably some may have misleading contents but internet is full of information so we can gather some with searches or other public forums like reddit or bitcointalk, etc meanwhile we can learn while earn which is airdrops, bounties, and bitcoin signature campaign.

Trading isn't for everybody actually. There are some who has fund but use it wrongly and ended up losing instead of earning. People can have earnings without investment but thats a really hard part when you are a newbie. For sure for those high ranks or have gained enough experience relates to this. Youll cross a thousand roads to be on that level but if you do it right then it's not impossible.

I've tried all of those ways and I earn some without worrying to lose something as we don't use the money for it. But at this time, it was to notice that social media platforms are very hot and mostly used as a tool to earn money. And this I could suggest who are not a techy person but are good at talking online.

Sad to say that not all will be able to understand trading and not all are destined to become a trader as well. It could be another platform that possibly gives us a profit however, the risk makes people undecided and never take this instead of choosing the safe plaything.

The only ways to start with crypto without involving money or spending any $ is through airdrops, bounty, signature campaign, and some social media contest or any raffles. Yes you can find plenty of opportunity here in forum on the bounty section. That's the only way unless you work for it using your technical skills or such expertise.

Trading involves funds and some of those your hard earned money so better think to invest on some risky play.

At first I started doing in the cryptocurrency industry is actually by doing bounty hunter.
Yeah and I am also right now.
I at that time got very few rewards and I used them for learnjng how to trade. I started from $0 without any deposits from my fiat banks, only started from the rewards of bounty at that time.
The profits may not be big enough, moreover I kept losing. But, that is learning.
I keep learning trading and then I can earn money from it.
Additionally, the reward from signature campaign riht now is alsonused for investment. This is worthye enough.

There are many ways for bitcointalk forum users to earn crypto without investment and it seems that some or maybe all of them have been mentioned here too often.

Some examples I know of:

• Bounty, airdrop and signature campaign
• Campaign contest artwork
• Logo design service, code signature, avatars and other promotional banners.
• Referral codes from exchange, gambling sites and others ^{[for blogs and websites outside the forum]}
• Campaign management service, escrow and other service
• etc

Some of the ones I mentioned in the list require special skills from the user and some of them also require analysis and concern for post quality. So since the forum doesn't prohibit users from making money, then there are only a few caveats and that is to keep it clean, don't break the rules and improve the quality of the posts and contributions.

Apart from that you can acquire experience and knowledge without investing anything in crypto platform is by using Virtual trading plaforms. They wont give you any money but you will be equipped with necessary knowledge and skills that are required for successful trading career. Many think that crypto is just a piece of cake and can be done by the help of signaling groups, these people made 80% of traders who end up in loss.

I think airdrops too can be a nod to start a cryptocurrency business without involving your own money ,also with bounty hunting but for hunting you have to work for it you invest your time. The disadvantage in hunting is you may wait for ever to receive your reward and some tokens won't be listed. Airdrops too have its problem because I'm yet to see someone gaining from it

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

They used to be good to get paid in crypto for the time you spend in those platforms only when Steemit was created and was super hyped. Nowadays it is more like a waste of time to spend in these platforms to post and try to make any money from your posts. Not to mention that because of their design, anything posted there even if it were valuable will have a low value considering the content. Which is why you never see anyone really post a link to an article in these platforms whereas you see a lot of reference to sites like stackoverflow, bitcointalk, medium or even reddit.

Being a bounty hunter always has the advantage. You can always earn coins.
This is for the ones who can write good articles. Actually, you can join an article bounty campaign for the new projects which if you happen to join a legitimate project the fee is much greater than the fee you get from the article sites like steemit or hive. I would recommend doing that more. As long as there are new projects, you are not out of the loop. And you stay updated with the new concepts in the blockchain industry.  If lucky you may also be able to find an article job on new sites.

OP invest of what exactly? Money or time can be an investment. If they don't invest with money eventually they will invest a lot of time into the project. Instead it's very important to invest strategically. The policies of the platforms listed on this thread are tentative. Their rules can change anytime and it will affect users generally.

The best way to go about this is to look for a service to offer all over the internet especially in this forum. One good thing about this forum, I noticed it not far too long ago. If you know a little about keyword research, publish your service on the appropriate section, given a few time let's say a month you will rank on google first page. This will fetch you a lot of income in bitcoin forever.

What if a person eager to start in crypto doesn't have the necessary writing skills to make his blog appealing? I mean, he should first somehow develop these skills by investing a lot of time in learning about how to write, what to write, why to write. Can it really be counted as "no investment"? Clearly, he will have to invest his time, which is a precious scarce resource by itself. On the other hand, if a person has the necessary writing skills, for example, he is a talented writer, he likely won't have any trouble with finding ways on how to monetize his skills. He may write a book, or he may write news/educational articles for magazines, or he may start his own blog. I would say, focus on things you are good at. If you have certain skills, sell them for crypto. If you have certain goods, sell them for crypto. If you can offer certain services, sell them for crypto. Or sell them for fiat and exchange them for crypto later. This is how people usually acquire their income, crypto hasn't changed things much in this regard.

Thank you for the new information. Allow me to share my experience jumped into the crypto world without any cent. I was doing some of the faucets before. I did PTC (paid-to-click) for BTC and other coins until I know about Raiblocks (XRB) or later called Nano. I also made a youtube channel, so my earning in crypto developed from there. Since then, I got some knowledge about gaining profits in the crypto world without any funds. I joined some of airdrops and bounties and I got the fees from those faucets. From the rewards, I also do some investments although I'm still not good at trading until now lol.

When trading, you can much more easily lose everything if you do not know what you're doing and choose wrong trading patterns. With investing you have a job to do your research and select a currency with a track record or based on the fundamentals; this is much easier to assess than in trading where you are attempting to predict the future price movements.

Someone can easily pick any asset in the top ten by market cap to invest in, and their investment would hardly go to zero, or do that rapidly.
Trading is much different.

No, it's just that you can create new blurt accounts if you already have one (costs 10 blurt - this is until dec 15)

I've known steemit and it's really for those bloggers and writers that have a passion for writing. Instead of going with the platform, if I want to invest on it, I'll just buy but well, the point of the thread is about having no investment.

There's also latium's platform for freelancers. Although there are many of these that are existing with the same platform but they're paying in USD also with cryptocurrencies.

Yes, I agree. Investing is much easier. But, in my experience, investing can also be more risky, depending on what is being invested in.
When you learn to trade, you sometimes make money and sometimes you lose (ok, you lose more often than you make money), but when you invest, you can easily lose everything if you choose the wrong asset.

I tend to agree and it seems OP should add this to the OP list, not only those I personally don't know.

This forum is the first platform where I understand and start in cryptocurrency and where my mind sharpened not only on crypto even my writing skills and grammar were also improved.  I'm here without investment, totally scratch, or zero knowledge about crypto.  However, there are too many platforms that you can start in crypto without investment, like faucet and airdrop.

Actually, those links shared by the OP were right but for sure it requires more skills and talent in writing before you will earn free crypto in return on your service offered.

Do you have an affiliation to this one (just kinda curious).

---

And like the others said bounties can be looked down on by the forum but it's mostly the managers at fault for those afaik (you just might not be able to rank up well too).

It is not only the destination that matters, but also the path you will take to get there - and that path is very questionable if you go in the direction you suggest. Not only participants can not be paid for what they do in most cases, but they will jeopardize their reputation in the forum by promoting projects that mostly turn into scams.

Do you believe that what you are promoting has any purpose or is someone just abusing Santa?

I think at least get a job first if you don't have money to invest since every investments need some capital. And trading isn't recommended for newbies since they're most likely to lose it all on their first try. What they need is to invest time and effort to learn everything in a slow pace then start practicing trading on a demo account.

Back to OP, those new platform are good though but for someone as new like me it would require some time to get familiar with almost everything. So, if you a skills of writing and blogging those platform are good for you. And also just like what the above said, this forum gives more opportunities if you know where to find it here especially the marketplace board.

super nice article i would gave you merit if i have one  but to be honest i re-start journey on crypto at new year of 2020 with $0 money so i will give advice to newbie out there first never give up  pray and believe haha and keep do bounty and airdrop if u get money from there you can start trading and invest to othe platfrom like DeFi or other coin and get gain from it 

This forum actually offers a lot of ways to earn some crypto funds without investing money and taking risks.
I suggest you research the market section of this forum first.
If you know how to program, translate, design a logo etc. you can earn bitcoin with your work.
Signature campaigns are also a very popular way to earn crypto through writing on this forum.
Of course, for that you have to have a certain forum rank and reputation on the forum.

I was introduced to steem by an acquaintance a couple of years back, but have since not been active on it anymore as I mostly do not have time to handle an account on it or maybe I do not have the bloggind skills to actually utilize an account.

Speaking of the topic title, it may not need any monetary investment, but you'll need to invest your time, knowledge and skills inorder to properly navigate those platforms, such skills applied to some other website could still result in earnings which one could use to buy Bitcoin; But being on a crypto inclined platform usually allows one interested in it to discuss freely.

In my experience trading is much more difficult and risky than investing. Newbies particularly shouldn't jump right into trading cryptos, they should instead start from the basics and find what area interests them.

I think the best way to start In crypto without investment (not literally) is as a hobby and practice of trading, just enough to learn the ropes but not enough to start making any money. As time goes by it may become a money maker but even then is is better to start with the small amount as possible and slowly become familiar with trading. Investing however is a whole other topic and needs to be tackled with much caution and homework.
Another option is to offer your time and your skill set in exchange for a crypto. To me that is the only real way to make money in crypto.

Ok, so here I'm gonna mention three sites which does not require investment and may help you in getting your feet wet in crypto.

These are basically Reddit of crypto, people appreciate your content by 'upvote', whose value is based on one's upvote power (which is based on powered up steem, hive, blurt respectively)

1) Steemit: https://Steemit.com
Sign up: https://signup.steemit.com/

Steemit was my break in crypto when I joined it back in 2016. After acquisition by Tron, most users shifted to hive.blog which is our next mention.

2) Hive: https://hive.blog/

Sign up: https://signup.hive.io/

Fork of Steem. It's better than Steem in every way as most devs/users moved here.

3) Blurt: https://blurt.blog/

Sign up:  https://joinblurt.com/ (costs $1 or pm me)

Another fork of Steem with its own spice to it.
