How to earn free crypto currency (Part 1) – A Qaiser
Coinbase Earn is a marvellous initiative. In exchange for watching educational videos about selected coins available on the Coinbase platform, you can earn a small amount of that coin. So far they have run campaigns for ZCash, 0x, Basic Attention Token, Dai, Stellar and EOS. You can also earn additional Stellar and EOS token by referring existing Coinbase users or new users to Coinbase Earn and you will get paid when they watch their first paid video.
I include a few different referral links at the end of this article, for those of you who are not currently enrolled in the Coinbase Earn program. To maximise your free crypto from Coinbase, if you are not an existing user, then use the New Coinbase user link at the end of this article. You (and I) will receive $10 of BTC when you buy (or sell) $100 or more on Coinbase. If you are already a Coinbase user or you do not wish to take advantage of the new user offer (i.e. $10 free for $100 trade), then you can use either the Stellar or EOS invitation I provide here. Please note that I am limited to 4 slots for each so its on a first come first serve basis. If one of the links is already used, then try the other. If you are quick, you will hopefully be able to benefit. Once enrolled, you will be able to watch videos and earn the currently available range of cryptos. New cryptos are regularly being added so keep checking back every week to so to see if more have been added. I really can’t speak highly enough of what Coinbase are doing to drive crypto adoption and I would strongly encourage other leading exchanges to do similar.
Figure 6: Airdrop Alert have introduced pro plan to make claiming airdrops simpler
Many airdrop sites have emerged over the years, but they are definitely not all equal. My favourite is Airdrop Alert, although another worth mentioning is Airdrop Elves. I have really just stuck with Airdrop Alert since they seem to be the most established and get access to high profile airdrops.
At first glance, it may seem that there is no downside to airdrops, but there are risks that you should be aware and so I think it is worthwhile to stick to only the most established platforms. They have a reputation to protect and so have incentives to conduct proper due diligence on the coins they promote. Whilst airdrops are free, they will require you to register on their website and often to complete KYC and link your account to social platforms. This poses multiple risks to the user. Firstly, since you may register with usernames and passwords that you use on other crypto sites and exchanges, you are exposed to potential identity theft. I have heard of instances where users have signed up to an airdrop, only to find that one of their exchange accounts gets hacked and crypto holdings they have there gets stolen. Secondly, there is a risk that the project uses your KYC documents to sell onto unscrupulous third parties. To mitigate these risks, you should only ever sign up to airdrops where you have done some level of diligence and are convinced that the project is genuine.
Another issue with airdrops is the work you need to do to register and link your social accounts. After the 20th airdrop, this starts to get a little tiresome. Airdrop Alert have solved these problems with their Pro plan which gives you guaranteed access to four curated airdrops for a monthly subscription fee, without you having to individually register for each. There are different levels of subscription available, which provide different volumes of coins and discounts are available based on the length of subscription taken. It’s an interesting model and allows you to build a diversified portfolio of cryptos over time with minimal effort. Many of these airdrops may end up being worthless but a small proportion will deliver significant returns. I find this to be quite an interesting solution to the problem. My plan here is again a passive approach. I will set and forget and hope that at least one of them delivers me the holy grail of 10,000% growth over the next 2 to 3 years.
Figure 7: Bounty0x brings together bounty campaigns into a simple platform
The other site that worth an honourable mention here is Bounty0x. Other authors have written extensively about this platform so I will not go into any great detail here. Bounty0x offers a nice platform for earning curated bounties for completing marketing tasks for crypto projects. Small bounties are paid for tasks as simple as signing up to social channels and larger bounties for generating original content such as articles or marketing videos.
