In the crypto market, it is impossible to start earning from scratch. I was a little late with my arrival to the crypto market. When I arrived it was impossible to make much money on bounty campaigns or airdrops. However, the first money from bounty campaigns gave me the opportunity to try my hand at trading and investing. I enjoyed it. Thanks to this, I decided to invest part of my savings in the crypto market.

Now it is impossible for beginners to get capital from scratch and use it to learn how to trade and invest in the crypto market. They are forced to carry their money here and this scares many away from the crypto market.

Are there any ways for beginners to try their hand at trading and investing without investing their money in the crypto market?
Maybe it's some kind of demo accounts on exchanges or experienced programs.

let's collect these methods here.

What a tough question. Even if someone gets paid in some bounties campaigns, he mostly receives tokens, not bitcoin or ethereum in order to directly deposit to an exchange. He still needs a small amount of fiat money to buy gas (commonly ETH) in order to deposit tokens to a specific exchange and then sells them.

Luckily, Bitsgap is the rare cryptocurrency exchange allows demo trading feature. All you neen is to open an account and switch to DEMO mode: https://bitsgap.com/demo-trading/. Other than that, new exchanges usually have bug testing bounties in its pre-run phase. The purpose of bug testing is to find trading system's faults but participants can enjoy the feelings of getting free accounts and trading without loosing money.

Yes there are some demo or practice trading platform. They can just search on Google and many will poppep up. Indeed many beginners can find it hard to earn their capital for trading but I still believe they can still earned on it, just needer a littlr effort and diligence to look out for more legit ones.

Idex version 2.0 have testing and ai managed to use it. Also, new exchanges typically have a demo period and this chance and opportunity can be taken advantage by newbies. Learning market or trading, doesnt need always need demo types. I myself doesnt do this but learn by watching videos and tutorials, then when the time I had budget I tried it out and really a good experience for me.

Most trading platforms have demo so newbies can use that to learn how trading works, they don't have to find some pennies to try out, bounties still pays till date I know many are scam but few ones still pays, if newbies aren't lazy it's a good way to start

I've participated in a couple of trading platforms in their early days, and enjoyed giving feedback to the team about what to expect, and how they're different from the top ones like Binance. It is indeed difficult to make money out of airdrops and bounties, though there are bug bounties that pays up to $50,000 (https://www.avalabs.org/?utm_source=lx). With that large amount of prize, you'll encounter a lot of competitors and you have to be very unique/think outside the box. These are just some ways to acquire money here in crypto without pulling money right off your pocket.

If there are newbies who would like to enter the cryptospace, they first have to get the knowledge or else, its gonna be a rough road for them.

I earned my first 100$ from a airdrop campaign months ago, the project is Korea based I guess that's why I was lucky because most Airdrops are worthless, from there I started trying trading and others but later I stop because trading is not just for me

I myself only rely on capital from the results of the bounty and airdrop to trade and investment, a few months ago I joined the yobit campaign where I get capital to trade and some coins that I hold and I get profits after the bullish come but I now to stop trading due to uncertain market conditions, I better secure the assets compared to investment at a time like this.

Capital from the results of the bounty must be a little patient to look for high-paid bounties.

For some bounty hunters, 2017 is the best year because the rewards they get are skyrocketing when listing on exchangers. For now, bounty hunters are experiencing many obstacles and one of them is that the project that was done was in fact a scam.

If demo accounts or play money or trial, there are apps that allow this for each user. This is what we call simulators.
The 8 Best Cryptocurrency Trading Simulators (https://blocksdecoded.com/cryptocurrency-trading-simulators/)

everything is possible if a person has a wish. bounty campaigns still gives an opportunity to earn money. little money but for those who do not have money for investment, this is already good. Youtube is also a great platform that you can start developing without money.

i don't know if there is a demo account in any crypto exchange for beginners to learn how to trade, i have only seen in forex trading, some forex trading platform have demo account that will enable you to practice how to trade, maybe if you can try out those, they are not too different from crypto trading i guess,
crypto trading requires real money, you can always start with something small, most important thing to do first is study charts, understanding how to read charts will help you a lot to trade.

So far we found give away and contest, no need money to start and has reward. For me join trading competition in exchanges is the best way but unfortunately only on forex market. You can test your strategy and after get reward you can switch it into crypto for next level. Forex and crypto is different but in market they are same, try it.

For the beginner it is indeed really hard to try trading although he has an ability to trade like in forex trading or stock because crypto currency have its own way for the price movement, so I won't suggest them to try it directly.

Maybe, staking way can be a way for them to start. To learn about staking proccess is bit easy in my opinion. As long as they have a computer (pc) they can do that. Other than that, staking coin now can be held in an exchange like binance exchange and etc.

At least they can earn money first from crypto industry, so as when they starting to staking coin they can learn how to invest or how to trade simultaneously. Comparing when they try to invest or trade directly and they get loses from them then I believe they will leave crypto currency and never come back again and they have a thought that crypto currency is like gambling.

Waiting for bounty payments now if you are new to trading might take a long time,and also most bounties pay in their native coin,also sometimes they pay when not listed so one can't convert it to btc or Eth for trading,so the best position is to look for exchanges where they have Demo trading and lay your hands on till you feel you are good to start trading with real fund.

why don't you go and do some serious reading first before you can venture into trading, i will suggest you first of all get the necessary information about trading, if you know any good trader around you, talk to them to put you through, because trading crypto requires good knowledge about the market and since you are a newbie you should have this kind of knowledge before you can start, if not, you will lose money in the process,
have basic knowledge and then go deep if you find it easy.

We know every new people can earn their first coin from airdrop or bounty campaign, but the problem is they cannot rely on the result because sometimes, the result will be a scam. Many projects have delayed or cancel the reward to their participant because of the market is not recovering. That makes the project needs to stop for a while, or they are running away with the investor's money.

But if the new people have skills in other fields, they can try to offer their skills for people who really needed, and they can get payment in crypto or fiat which we know they can use Paypal. So after they have fiat in their Paypal or Skrill or the other payment methods, they can start to buy crypto in the exchange or another P2P transaction so they can begin to trade like other people.

It is about how they want to start to earn money and not the cryptocurrency because if you have money, you will have a chance to buy cryptocurrency. While the cryptocurrency began to rise again after reaching the bottom price in a few years ago, they will have money from the other sources income, and they will easy to buy cryptocurrency. Even they will get the discount price for every coin they want to buy.

There's a site called Binany, but it's not like the usual trading though. It's kind of prediction game, it gives $600 demo balance to try. As far as I know, Forex gives a demo balance to start with, a balance of $500 may be. I can't remember the amount now. One can try with that balance.
I advise to newbie if they want to learn trade, start with all the basic, reads them and have a small budget. It will be good for them to learn within a short time and no need to lose big money.

If you rely on the bounty I think it is not a good way because it takes a long time and also good skills as well as signatures need a high ranking account to get big rewards.

I think that there have been many advises of de forex to try it in the demo, I think it is good for beginners to find out more about trading, but it also takes time and direct guidance from seniors to be able to easily provide an explanation.

Actually, there are some trading site where in you can actually try to practice how to trade like you are doing it for real. People can try that to practice themselves so that they are ready when the real trading comes up. Also, you can try to gain profit from airdrop also and then the money that you got in airdrop will be use as your capital in the trading that you are planning to do.

as far as I know there is no demo account for crypto, you have to trade using your real money.
so you must be prepared to lose when you start learning to trade.
I guess you are not a newbie because your account is a hero member, so it will not be difficult to get a prize if the project
that you promote listing on the market, and the price not to bad.

I tried using a demo account to try trading sometime ago, it was all sweet and rosy at first, going very well. I didn't quite see any difficulty trading with demo account, I saw it easy and wondered why people say trading is difficult. Not until I started using little amount of money to do the actual real trading, the dance step changed.

Demo account is good but I guarantee you, it's never the same when real trading is involved. Only when "small pennies" is used will you understand the true meaning of trading.

Participating in legit bounty campaigns is really a good start if you want to earn money so you can try trading or investing. But always keep in mind that invest only what you can afford to lose same with trading. Demo account for crypto might be only seldom but if you want to try trading even with a small amount, study the basics in trading first particularly in reading price charts of the crypto coins.

I do not think it is hard for newbies to find capitals to trade and invest in crypto currency.
Why do i say that ? Crypto currency trading should be a part time basis where you get to make it a source of extra income,

And if it is about trying out and practicing for yourself, it is likewise easy, what you have to do is find 10$ - 20$ to practice trading after you must have dyor and learned the basics completely.

I see you are not a novice member, you are a hero member, you should know how to earn on this forum and you can also follow the BTC signature campaign.There are many such signatures, but they are always full because there are many enthusiasts.
You have to update the thread every day and always see it.

Great simulators. I believe that they are worth paying attention not only to those who are starting their first steps on the crypto market, but it will be useful to try their hand there and those who already have experience in trading.

Only way is for now holding market just recovering after from the dump, when market stable trading is also good. I can't find anything for newbie to do free trade. Loss is part of our experience but to gain the best experience newbie should follow this forum.

Most of the demo trading opportunities I know are from new cryptocurrency exchange who are working on rectifying bugs on their platforms. They open up bounties for bug detection and individuals are allowed to trade on demo accounts to detect the bugs. I know there would still be several in the industry, you may just have to Google it to see for yourself.

Most of forex exchanges have this. They allow you to register a demo account with demo balance, allow you to trade many coins with USD pair. It's a good way to start learning about trading and investment without risk.

Bounties and airdrops are currently worthless if one is looking to raise capital from the programmes to start their trading. I came late to this space too, been using my fund from offline business to trade. I actually didn't learn how to trade from any demo account, although I am not yet a TA person.

Well, there is just one trading platform that offers some demo trading. Try Bitmex. You don't have to deposit or invest to try some trading here. https://testnet.bitmex.com/
However, if you are a newbie and doesn't have any background in trading. This is a complicated demo for you. It's because this is leverage trading. Or you can always try depositing small amount in an exchange like binance or other trading exchange and practice trading by buying low and selling high.

But still, it's quite hard as it needs you to learn more about trading. There are a lot for you to know like fundamental and technical analysis. I, myself took some time to learn those tools before doing actual trading.

Beginners forget to try these useful apps for trials. They all want to all-in because of the testimonials that they've just heard how the other people managed to trade and make huge money out of it. They don't understand that they have to try it whether with simulator or with real capital but as long as it's affordable to lose. But to those that don't want to try it with real money at first, these apps is the thing that they need for excelling or experiencing trading.

One can start earning through free giveaways or task campaigns on this forum, we have Airdrops and exchange tasks to earn good money and maybe use the money for trading practicing, one can start promoting projects too, some exchanges do have free trading with zero fee

I've only seen demo trading on platforms like binary options, iqoption , and others they give demo account and loaded with money to try out the trading but I haven't come across such on crypto exchanges

For beginners, trading becomes a high risk thing because crypto price movements are different from other investment instruments. In my opinion, some crypto deserve to be a long-term investment but trading can indeed increase capital in a short time as long as we have good trading skills and are able to discipline with the strategies we have

I don't want to try with the demo trading on binary options because it is different than the crypto trading, and I feel it is too difficult to learn binary than crypto trading. Besides that, I think the risk will be bigger in binary options than the crypto trading, but I don't know what the other people say about binary trading. I guess if you want to start to do crypto trading, you can use demo trading in bitmex, but you should learn more about the trading so you can understand how to place the order.

My advice for every newbies who have no money to invest or try out trading is to start with airdrops, I spent an entire year on airdrops only and the result isn't bad, for someone who have no penny there is nothing lose here than time and energy

Yes, this is good advice for beginners when people have no money. But I think that people will spend only their time on unnecessary actions. It’s better to go about your business and make money in another way.

Wow, this is very insightful as i never knew there's a cryptocurrency exchange that offers a demo trading exchange. I thought that feature is peculiar to forex trading but now i know and i say Kudos to you for that. With this information you shared, i think after thorough practice with the demo account for quite some to get the user acquainted with the basics of trading, he will have to take the risk of starting the real trading with his own capital as ways to earn free crypto are becoming difficult with each passing day

not everyone spends their time being unimportant because I see many people who still don't have a purpose in life, meaning they still have difficulty finding money, some don't work and others because everyone has to work and must be able to make money to survive.

Yes some still have hardtime picking what will be their life's meaning so in result they still don't have money to start off in trading but airdrop and bounties are such good ways to earn money so that you can start your own trading without spending your real money here in crypto. Airdrops now are not like way back before, most of then now are scams or they just give you low valie coins but take note that their still good ones as well as in the field of bounties, you need to spent atleast a year to have a good foundation for your trading, just remember that it wilk be a long path but its worth it.

Everything possible in Earth, you did it because you were very active in this forum and you aren't part time worker. For trading experience Instaforex is providing 5k USD, remember this money isn't real money just for experience. You shouldn't feel this is demo accounts.

Most trading platforms can already be search and found online by just patiently searching through internet in any web browser. It is just needed for a newbie or a beginner to be eager to research and learn about trading because it is really do hard to start earning in cryptocurrency from scratch specially this days that it is now hard to seek and find for a legible and payable bounty campaign to give you funds to start up as a capital for investment and trading. Mostly, trading platforms do have trading tutorials which is good specially for the starters and it is indeed good as a good start to learn about trading and investment. Anything can now be searched and learned from the internet you just need to seek for a legible and reliable resource for that.

Why not? there are still many ways to raise capital from bounty campaigns and other work for cryptos that can be tried. If you try your best, you will get a chance. Although it is not comparable to 2017 when there are many legit campaigns, it still works :)

Trying to trade without investing? hmmm .. that only comes to mind by taking a giveaway or airdrop program from an exchange with a cryptocurrency prize. I often follow airdrops from Upbit, quite legit. Some other potential exchanges also often hold airdrops, so just watch.
If we really want to try trading or investing in anything we need time, capital and energy preparation. Try your best and accept the worst risks, don't give up easily.

To me I feel the best way is through research. Research for the project you have heard about or someone recommended you to them, do your findings through their social handles, monitor them closely to see if they have working products or still relaxing before you buy. If you don't do proper investigations one may end up buying scam projects that team dumps. I always do my research before I investage or trade any coin. Some team does manipulation alot and some like pump and dump. I do my findings properly. It helps

At least we can try to use it to do various kind of trades in the market. It's not only for lazy people but all of the people need their luck to be profitable from the market. What we can do is about trying to invest in the market and try to deal with the various possibility. I also need luck in investing.

There are trading websites that offer services like this to bot newbies and those that have been in the system for quite some time now, most especially those that are called the pros in trading. BitUniverse is a good website for that. On their website, you can easily use grid trading, to run some bots. You just set your trades and the bot keeps trading for you, by buying low and selling high. It will never create fake volume. It is the fund you input that will be used in trading for you. You can just leave your trade active, without you being there in person.

Yes, i am here with same to you. I think its better to do bounty unless sit down. Those who are bounty lover still making money from bounty but it may be littlebit that we did income in good days. But question is what you will do? Many men has no investment money or jobless. So he may join here and today or tomorrow income may be done. So let's start from today.

utilizing bounty and airdrop is the answer from that. if you want to try to make a profit from crypto without investing capital, that is the answer. even though it's not completely free, but with a little hard work, they can produce crypto from there. Yeah, if looking for something free, I think it's very difficult. so they can do it with a little hard work.

In the past, gaining money from the scratch is possible in crypto by joining bounty campaigns.
The earnings from campaign can be used for trading and investing in crypto, but nowadays is different.
Maybe mining some new coins is one of the way to gain profit from the scratch, but if only we can choose the right coin.

personally the only lesser known altcoins who I think will make it through this pandemic, are the ones with bigger plans than just being on exchanges.
Like TEM for example, they have an LOI with Anguilla to provide them with a national digital currency and deals with more countries in the works.
This pandemic will cause most IEOs and ICOs to fail but TEM never did that, privately funded and eyes on the future.

Because beginners are usually accepted only in bounty campaigns where tokens of new projects are issued as a reward. Most of these campaigns are either scams, or they pay out their rewards for a very long time. And most importantly, even if a novice is transferred tokens, he will not be able to sell them because he will not have Ethereum to pay for gas.


I'm not talking about airdrops where they give out free coins. I'm talking about exchanges where you can open a demo account and trade virtual coins. This is like sending Bitcoin in a testnet.

When I decided to start trading, I did not immediately run to the cryptocurrency exchange and did not start trading, I was talking with friends who have been trading for a long time and they started to teach me and after some time I started trading and for me this method turned out to be profitable.

There is no other way if beginners want to enter into trading they must deposit savings for capital first because if waiting or making money through the Bounty campaign is quite difficult because Bounty currently does not make hundreds of dollars.

Any newbies that wants to trade crypto should first read and understand how to trade, app the things involved, money management and others. You don't need money to do this as a newbie. All you need to make money is knowledge and you need to find the knowledge first then you will make money with it. Knowledge brings money from all sources both in and outside crypto.

     Yes, it is possible for beginners in the crypto market to make money from cryptocurrency without investing their own money, but it is very difficult now and it requires a lot of patience. If in the past years, you participated in the bounty campaigns and most of the projects offered you a reward with which you could buy your favorite coins, now you work for nothing and only 1 in 5 projects manage to honor your work as a bounty hunter.

Demo trading don't paint the whole picture. I believe the algorithm is usually different and because it's demo, your risk taking will not be same compared to when you're trading with your money. I believe the best way is to trade a little of your own money until you're confident then you can go all in.

The only training a newbie has to learn is how to buy and sell but before the newbie starts buying and selling he should has to to learn how to do good research so as not to fail inside bit. Some projects are out there to steal so it's so good to investigate before buying any project and when trading the newbies has to take greed away. Sell when you have little profit .

in my opinion using a demo account is not enough to start learning trading because there are differences using a real account and a demo account, we can relax using a demo account but not with a real account, so I think it's better to jump right into a real account sometimes there are people who don't dare to jump directly using their real account more comfortable using a demo account without producing

It's better for the newbies to know the position to take the best level price to buy or sell. It's easy to learn about how to sell and buy but the difficult part comes to the when someone faced the decision to take how much price that he wanna try to sell and buy his token. This will be determining how much his profit in the future.

DYOR and find coins that are cheap now but have a real future.
TemTum for example is not just focused on exchanges but is actively involved with governments to create a national currency for more than one country.
When this hits the news I can see TEM going $1 +

The trained newbies wouldn't understand the real market risks without losing at least $1000 in the crypto market. Before joining the real-world competition, learning the basic things in trading will be the reason why they survive in the bear market.

Sorry to say but there is no new methods to earn in crypto space yet, it's all same old ways like Airdrops and Bounties but saying it's not possible to earn from bounties is discouraging, in 2018 and 2019 many bounty hunters still manages to make good money

Demo trading allows you to learn. This has been around for a long time, it's very easy you just need an email to register a demo trading account. However there is a problem, when you trade demo you will not have real emotion like when you trade real money, so even that you win in demo, you still lose in real trading. The only way to solve this is you should start with real trading account and put some tiny money in it, start trading and learning.

I think you are right, the main reason why so many people lament about loss and rekt in crypto trading is perhaps because they push to make profit at an instance.
Instead of learning and easing theirselves slowly.

So i urge us all, to trade, practice trade strategies that will like and be better as time goes.

it allows everyone to learn but we must remember if the demo account is not even showing what was the real condition in the market. It's better just try to spend a few dollars to be a practice  funds to make people can adapt with the situation in the crypto market. That will bring a lot of lesson than demo account.

Possibly there are ways that newbies canpractice cryptocurrency trading, but they are not going to be getting any money by using demo accounts. It’s just like in options trading; sites like IqOption allows users to switch from real account to demo account, the demo account has fake 1,000 USD in it that they can use for practicing trading but they wouldn’t make any real profit till they switch back to real account and invest real money.

For newbies that are interested cryptocurrency trading, I don’t think there is any other way that they can do this, because practicing a demo account would be like a waste of time if they are in need of money.
