Cryptocurrency in the modern world is called digital money created by encryption or cryptography methods and stored in electronic wallets. The most famous cryptocurrency in the world is Bitcoin. Since its inception in 2008, the bitcoin rate has grown from a few thousand bitcoins per dollar to several tens of thousands of dollars per bitcoin. In addition to bitcoin, litecoins, namecoins, ethereums and others have become famous.
Mining
The easiest way to purchase cryptocurrency without investment is considered to be mining. Mining is the process of creating new cryptographic blocks, for which the system provides a reward in the form of a certain number of cryptocurrency units. From a theoretical point of view, the mining process is quite simple: you need to install a specialized program on your computer, configure it and wait for the mined units to start dripping into the electronic wallet.
However, there is a rather significant nuance here. The likelihood of an independent miner receiving an award is approximately equal to the ratio of the computing power of his computer to the computing power of the entire network, that is, all miners on the planet.
Back in 2008, it was easy and simple to mine bitcoins on your home computer. But the bitcoin rate was also ridiculously low. Now, in order to acquire the minimum necessary computing power for Bitcoin mining, you need to spend more than several million rubles.
But besides Bitcoin, there are many other, lesser known and popular cryptocurrencies. Their exchange rate against the dollar or ruble is still low, but with the help of a home computer, they can be mined in unlimited amounts. It remains to wait until the rate of these cryptocurrencies grows to an acceptable level.
Cranes
Faucets are specialized sites whose visitors are invited to earn cryptocurrency by performing simple actions. For example:
- play a specialized lottery;
- earn cryptocurrency in certain games;
- enter captcha;
- click on banners.
The principle of operation of such sites is simple: visitors, spending time on the site, increase the profitability of advertising posted on it. In return, the site owners compensate the visitors for the time spent on this site.
On the one hand, you can earn cryptocurrency on such sites within a few minutes of being on it. On the other hand, even the best faucets generate too little revenue.
Partnership programs
There are various affiliate programs on both mining sites and faucet sites. The essence of such programs is as follows: by registering for an affiliate program, the user receives an individual link to this site. Advocating people to make money on this site, he leads them using his link. If these people earn anything, part of their income will be transferred to the person who brought them.
It looks pretty simple too, but in practice it takes a lot of time and effort. Firstly, it is not so easy to persuade a person to register on a certain site, and even with the help of a special link. Secondly, out of every 100 people mentioned, only a few will earn any serious money in the future.
Sweepstakes, casino and poker
Winning money using roulette or poker has been possible since time immemorial. But recently, with the help of them, it has become possible to win cryptocurrency. The fact is that in many countries casinos, bets and poker games for money are officially prohibited and the accounts of such companies can be blocked at any time. Therefore, most of them switched to cryptocurrency settlements, which cannot be blocked by any methods.
For those with above-average gaming skills, this is a good way to win good amounts of bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies without any investment. However, the administrators of such sites set draconian rates for the withdrawal of cryptocurrencies - up to 10-15%.
