Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys! I've been in crypto for a while but since it's bear market I'm curious: are there any services where you can earn passive income in crypto, except lending?
If you know, share your experience, please.

The ones that I know is staking, but you have to stake the coins and receive your reward everytime the staking protocol says. There are many altcoins like Polkadot, Solana, Atom that you can stake. You can also stake coins like wBTC but which is not bitcoin but pegged with bitcoin price.

But the best advice I have for you is to just hold your bitcoin and leave it for a long period of time, the price will increase and you will make money from it.

With 'crypto' I don't know, but with bitcoin it's not worth it because all the solutions to what you are looking for involve giving up your private keys. Add to that that the 'passive' profitability you will get is a minuscule percentage of what you get for simply holding bitcoin.

It is clear to me: little profitability, even if it is 'passive' and a lot of risk: I don't invest.

You have an advantage to buy more bitcoin since we are in the bear market and the price is affordable. After buying you should hodli till next two years when bitcoin price will hit a new ATH, you can sell off your investment by then to make good profit. I believe this is the only way that you can make passive income because if you invest on altcoins,it will be risky and you can also run at loss as a newbie that hasn't study the price movement of those altcoins. Now is the best time to accumulate more bitcoin to your investment portfolio and don't think of looking for a get rich quick project because they might turn out the other way.

But to be able to stake, we need to hand over our crypto assets to 3rd party, centralized platforms, which is very risky for our assets as we don't have full control of our property. After what happened to lending platforms like BlockFi, Anchor Protocol, Celsius... I think staking is something we should stay away from.

If we can't day trade to make a profit. The best solution is to hold bitcoins in a non-custodial wallet until the bull market makes a profit. Do not for a little daily profit, we have to trade-off too much risk by staking.

No.

You can stake directly on noncustodial wallets that support staking. You do not need to stake on those centralized platforms which is against the rules of cryptocurrencies which is not jot your key not your coins.

This is the best option for bitcoin. But if you hold altcoins like Polkadot, Cardano, Solana and some other ones, you can also stake the coins for more profit while holding it.

Currently one of the best job is being a developer, for example you are a front end and back end developer of a blockchain project of course the payment can be use as crypto at the same time, also you can do a social media management with the discord community of different projects you don't need to settle with the investment only but also inquire more whats about the crypto there's a lot of option beside from gambling, investment, holding, trading and etc. Theres a lot of form to earn during the bear market.

Doing nothing and making a profit is the fantasy of many, but the majority realized the hard way that it is mostly an impossible mission. However, if you have a sense for marketing and promotion, you may try to promote affiliate links of some centralized crypto exchanges or online casinos, and in case you manage to find referrals who are active and invest significant funds, it can be a passive source of income.

Of course, in addition to time, you should also invest some money and be realistic with your goals, or in other words, don't hope for overnight success.

Staking.

To know more of it, you need to at least hold a certain amount of crypto for you to be able to become eligible for the reward of staking. Those coins that allows it are the POS algo coins like ETH.

But the thing with it is that, the richer you are there, the better rewards and that's why if you don't have that much then you don't expect to earn a lot of passive income on it.

The passive income that you want is probably staking, as friends here have mentioned. You can try installing Trust Wallet and have a look in the Earn section. There are tons of coins that you can stake with different APR levels so you can choose which coin is right for you.

You can also stake on Binance if you are interested but you need to know the risks so you can compare it to staking on other wallets. Apart from Binance, you can look at Poloniex and Bittrex but I don't know how many coins can be used for staking.

Apart from the Trust wallet, you can look at Atomic or Crypto.com. At Crypto.com, you also have many options as staking which can give you decent returns. But of course, you have to do a lot of staking. But you need to research to find.

Hard to find passive income generating platform since most of the time only scam platform as just showing up. I don't know if staking is good option but you can try the suggestions posted to know for yourself if its really worh it. Also don't think about passive thing on crypto but rather on  learning new things on crypto and try to earn on each ideas you read then apply it. Also be careful on people offering big profits since this is much unrealistic and this is just used by scammers.

Bear market? Nah, now isn't a bear season. A little correction here and there doesn't mean it's a bear. If anything, I should say the market is gearing into a bull season if we evaluate what market cap is ATM.

For passive earning, other users have suggested staking to you. You should know there are inherent risks too with it, whether you're staking on centralized platform or on a noncustodial wallets that do support it, you're still going to be held up and won't be able to sell off immediately in case of a dump. Most staking platforms won't allow you unstake immediately. There are cooling off days. Generally, in business everything comes with a certain level of risk. You can try nodes. It's also a form that can provide you with passive income.

If you are living in a country with very cheap electricity why not buy a miner and mine as your passive income?

Staking is not good for the long term most of the POS coins are dropping fast compared to BTC.

Another passive crypto income that I think is building a WordPress blog and keep creating articles related to Crypto and do SEO to promote the blog. Once you gain a good amount of traffic you can add some ads that pays in Crypto like A-ads.
It is way safer than investing in POS coins.

-Mining
-Staking
-Commission referral

Something worth as passive in crypto is totally impossible. There are other factors on every aspect even doing a simple staking like the value dropped over long period of time. But this is a passive way to increase your holding since you get something. Mining bitcoin is really profitable and works as passive if your expenses wouldnt be expensive.

Yes staking is a great way to make some cryptos. If you have enough money that you can stake at any particular place for a fixed amount of time, then definitely it can give good amount in return as interest. This is not the great option, but yes it works and pays a fixed amount. You can try at Binance, they have options for multiple coins and that too with different rates. If you want to make money in other way, then start gaining some skills first and use those skill to do freelancing. Now take the freelancing payment in terms of cryptos and hold it in this bear market.

There are indeed some services where you can passive income in cryptocurrency, such as:

• Mining;
• Staking;
• Signature Campaigns;
• Gambling; or
• Investment

As its name suggests, passive income is a type of activity where you can generate revenue on investments alone. This implies that you can earn revenue by not doing the traditional employee-employer relationship found in most corporations. On the list above, you can observe that there are six (6) examples that I provided, in which each category has their respective pros and cons.

Personally, I would definitely suggest investment and participating in campaign signatures as the best possible way to earn passive income. The other four (4) are just too risky for me to bear with especially considering that some require existing rigs, knowledge, and expertise in order to operate (mining).

There are lots of things in crypto world which can give you profit in the form of passive income like you can choose certain successful coins and hold it for longer or shorter duration depends on the types of coins.

You can also take part in some Airdrops in which you will complete the command and will get the reward, Airdrops are a good way of earning if an announcement is made through twitter or Telegram group to fulfil the described task.

 Participation in signature campaign can also be a reason of obtaining passage income, there are lots of other things which can be moneymaking for your if you operates in a right way.

First, before you mentioned passive income you have to specify your years of invested time to gain the experience of things and how much capital you are willing to part ways with, the cryptocurrency industry is full of many opportunities to earn profits but also full of risks that comes with such venture.,  there is nothing wrong with looking for passive income but what you must know is what the level of time investment and how much you are willing to risk.


Because even holding Bitcoin for the long term also involves risk because no one knows what the price of Bitcoin will be in the future and more also what we stand to face at the end of the day,  And looking for passive income on a short-term basis could lead to a high risk of losing money and time on the wrong projects,  in as much as we can't trust centralized exchanges,  their services remain the major means for passive income in the cryptocurrency market.

Bankroll investments are still somehow good.

But you need to be long term on them because making a profit on a very short period of time is unlikely. The passive income is there but you need to be the most patient person.

It's risky though as you go with the house and whatever happens to the house, the same goes for you. If you're going to think of it, in the end, the house always wins.

Pretty irrelevant, Op asked about passive income with crypto and you are telling him to get a job?

With trading it is absolutely impossible (I also recommend moving this topic to altcoins). You should go to some coins/tokens which offer passive income instruments to holders like staking, running masternodes, etc.

You can see several choices of coins/tokens here. https://www.allnodes.com
Note: I am not affiliated with that service

In crypto you can stake crypto that you have, but you have to be aware of the possibility of the coin's price dropping which even though you get interest from staking it is not enough to cover a very deep drop in price.
It's better to just keep Bitcoins and patiently wait for the price to go up, if you are thinking of staking Bitcoins on any online platform then it's not staking and you risk losing your bitcoins when the website goes down, so keeping it in your personal wallet is much better and if possible continue to buy to increase the amount you have, because until now Bitcoin has never disappointed long-term holders.

When you are trying to find passive income on trading it can be just as difficult as recognizing coins in general in crypto because there is a lot of crypto that you may not be able to recognize the potential to generate. It's better to try to withhold on to a personal wallet than to do it on the platform and do nothing but hope for profits is a lie. If several betting platforms can make a lot of money then the trading and investment functions will be useless because everyone will turn to betting to make big profits.

Unless your focus is on bitcoin and using your money to invest it responsibly and it takes time, capital and skills for anyone to generate comparable returns, no success is achieved in a short time because everything needs a process, at least that's what we run and there is no way another in my opinion.

you can do staking in a trusted place, besides that the main thing in my opinion is that we can invest, so that by holding it we will get a lot of profit when the market enters a bullish season. but before that I suggest studying it first before deciding to invest, so we don't get it wrong in taking action that will be fatal. on the other hand, if you want to get daily money, you can do daily trading, that way we will get income, which if the results are calculated, are not inferior to investments, but knowledge and experience are needed for this

Thank you for your answer. I'm not really looking for a fast return, so this option is okay for me. However, there were many talks that Bitcoin would hit 100k "this autumn/winter", so I just don't really know what to think. What do you think about that?

Seems to be no lack of different streams but really its about choosing the right one that meets your risk management and investment needs. On one hand there's all sorts of ways to earn yields, there's decentralized protocols like AAVE, COMP, CURVE etc, centralized platforms like Bitget who have yield and fixed products, while there's also all sorts of DEXs too in which one can provide liquidity and earn yield with. At times with the right coins and the right volatility levels, liquidity providing on Uni can get quite profitable. There's also plenty of proof of stake layer 1s which provide low - mid teen apys. Finally another one of the most popular is the all so famous proof of work mining, if you can get cheap electricity and a good link for hardware then you can practically print cash.

The way to passive income from crypto without giving loans is trading with cryptocurrencies, that is, you can make this income by buying a coin at a low price and selling it at a relatively high price. If you have an understanding of the market then you will understand that the market goes up and down every time, at this time you need to understand the market when the price of a particular coin goes down relatively much and when the market goes up from that low position at that time you need a particular coin. You have to buy coins, then when the market goes up again and you check your market when it looks like the market might go down again you have to sell those coins basically this is how you can make passive income from crypto.

Mining, but that requires a lot of capital to build a mining rig. Don't Cloud mining is a scam.
Staking, you can try on the coins available for staking.
Trading, this is the most likely for you with day trading and can master it can be your passive income.
Opening a service if you have the skills.

If you do staking then there is a good chance of making a profit. Do not confuse this staking as the "staking" they have over at altcoin bounties section, that's not what I mean, what I mean is ETH staking by having 32 ETH proof of staking at that moment. That's the real one and you should be making a profit based on that. It is like dividends from stocks and it gives you a good return one way or another and should be considered a lot better when the time comes as well.

I understand that it is not a simple thing, but that's how it happens to be and that's what you should be considering. Making passive income is simple in the crypto world, you just have to make sure you are looking at the right places for it.

I am gonna be straight with this question. You earn it by providing your services OR you just work hard over freelancing sites, micro tasking sites and get paid in the Bitcoin. Almost every online earning or money making website accepts payments in bitcoin and also sends out payout in the form of Bitcoin. I think it would grow slowly for you but it will be nice income and it will be paid in the Bitcoin. The advantages are many. For example you can collect the payment in Bitcoin and keep them safe as it is like a holder. In long term Bitcoins volatility’s gonna show up nicer trends and you can grab profits along the way.
There are people who are just making money online sitting at their homes. So if someone pulls you back by saying you can’t make money online then they have no idea what they are talking about. Just go for it.

Staking is the best option to get passive income, either paid using its ecosystem coin or the coin directly, being a liquidity provider is quite interesting and I am also interested in it, especially Eth, with considerable potential in the future, besides we get dividends or reward from our staking.
We can also get a capital gain in the future when the price of Ethereum increases many times, of course this is very pleasant and potential, rather than we do trading with limited knowledge, it will only make you difficult and lose money quickly.

Non-custodial staking is not possible on the coins that are running based on Proof of Work (PoW) so staking is good for some altcoins but it's not really going to bring a lot of money in my opinion.

---

And for the record, there is not actually passive income for bitcoin beyond mining which is also going to need huge capital to make enough in the long term so I suggest keeping the Bitcoins in the cold storage itself a best possible choince in terms of returns based on Fiat value.

You can earn passive income from crypto using the following methods.

1. Testnet
2. Mainnet
3. Bounty
4. Mining
5. Play to earn games
6. Ambassador programs
7. Blockchain Development
8. Signal Channels
9. Course
10. NFT(Creation, Loyalty, Flipping)
11. Crypto community management
12. Trading
13. Saving and Staking
14. Peer to Peer buy and sell
15.  AMA(Ask Me Anything)

There is a common job and service that some people around me who cannot buy bitcoin do, which is to help people sell off their bitcoin to online vendors for a higher fee and give the people selling to them an amount less than what they sold, taking the profit in between as their commission for the service they have rendered. Since you have knowledge about cryptocurrency from being in cryptocurrency for a while now, you should know how to help people trade the bitcoins they have for fiat. You can become a vendor and earn some passive income in cryptocurrency.

To add to this discussion. I think staking can really give some good side income if you stake a valuable coin with comparable good price. Cartesi has such value for profit and that is why the time duration allowed for it is lower compared to some other coins. Most times I see 30days duration on it while some other coins are allowed up to 120 days in binance. Cartesi has an ATH of $1.75 but currently selling at $0.14. Therefore imagine staking 1,000 unit and having like 5% reward per month which is about 50 unit to your stake.

The answer is staking. By staking, you can get passive income but staking requires carefulness in choosing assets and platforms.
So far, it's been a lot easier for you to learn staking because of the availability of sites about staking information.

What Is Staking In Crypto: How Does It Work (https://www.forbes.com/advisor/in/investing/cryptocurrency/what-is-staking-in-crypto/#:~:text=Staking%20is%20when%20you%20lock,proof%20of%20stake%20consensus%20mechanism.). This is one of the readings that can help you understand staking because now it seems that many people are staking, especially people who don't have much time to monitor market price movements. So they choose to do staking to earn passive profits in crypto.

If you want, set aside your money to invest in bitcoin by buying regularly and holding until the price reaches a high price.

Like many other, I will also go ahead with "staking" when it comes to passive income from cryptocurrency. There are multiple staking coins available in the market so do your own research before choosing your portfolio. Personally, I only prefer ETH as I am not much interested about shit coins. There are multiple pools available where you can stake your ETH and earn a passive income. However the return is quite low but when it's a passive income, you can't complain about it.

Staking is the best way for passive income if you research properly and invest in good coins. There is a lot of risk here because due to volatility in the market many times different coins behave unexpectedly in the market which can lead to big losses on your staking coins. So be aware of the risks before investing here so that you don't have to regret later.

You can make passive income through day trading but for this you need trading skills. By developing trading skills, you can predict the market correctly and you can take maximum advantage from the market. So instead of getting attracted to passive income, you should spend time in getting good knowledge about crypto, when you get enough knowledge then you will understand what is right and what is wrong.

You will however need a huge amount of capital to substantially gain at least. Not sure if a staker can earn substantially like can support himself if he has 32 ETH to stake. There are lots of tokens to stake but it's safer to stick to the most popular token like ETH or the investor will just be scammed.

But why chose to stake when you can mine altcoins, it's still profitable especially if the investor can find a way to use solar or win to mine. A good way to learn crypto while he can chose from time to time which crypto to mine.

And that's why I said there is a risk here, that if he doesn't make the right decision, he will get worse results than he expected. Spending time to learn about crypto is most important for a newbie, because if he gets proper knowledge about crypto then he can decide on his own what will be the best decision for him. OP has not mentioned the amount of money he can invest which makes it difficult to give him any proper suggestion.

Since he has no decision regarding funds and other matters, the suggestion to make him interested in learning is correct. Now if he makes any investment, he will not get the right result because he does not have enough knowledge that he will actually get the result if he goes to this suggestion.

I'm not really sure if there is a way that you can make a passive income in bitcoin without taking a great risk. Sure it's bear market, but if I'm in your case, I will just continue to accumulate as much as I can and stack sats in your wallet simply as that. You don't need to complicate things like staking or other suggestions here, and again you don't know how big or small the risk are just to have some sort of passive income.
 
Not saying that it's not possible, it could be done, but it will also take some out of your bitcoin as well to earn a passive income. And it just be complex to you specially if you are a beginner here, just saying.

Most of what your to meet in crypto for investment options is either you buy and hodl,trade or stake of which, staking is no longer the case for bitcoin as, liquidity pool isn't a need. Should you venture into staking of atcoins, there you might get something but even then, the reward on staked value wouldn't seem what the time and worst of all, when your staking on a coin who's value is declining and don't have much promises in the cryptospace. You would just as well be wasting quality time and the chance to have cut your lose when you ought not to have been hodling anymore.

Hodling of bitcoin would be one major way not to take a lot of risk and still be earning something. It might be time consuming and make for an exhausting wait but  it's often worth the effort if you've got huge hodlings.

Holding Bitcoin must be done with confidence and confidence that the long term will provide returns that are worth the wait.
Not too much risk, just buy gradually or do DCA then hold it for a certain period of time according to the main price target.

I would say, that is the best investment path rather than having to hold new altcoins or altcoins that have no clear development.
Bitcoin will generate more profit than we want, but it takes time and we need to be patient.

Wanting passive income in crypto is quite easy, buy and hold and adjust the target.
The more assets you buy, the more profit you can get. 

Totally agree, I have most of my tokens staked especially if I want to hodl on to it, makes it hard for me to spend it too because I can see some growth even though small in my staking which tricks me psychologically that it's worth not pulling the staking out just to spend it on something I know I would probably hate later on.
If you are doing the work and you can't make money when there's no human interaction then it's not a passive income, it's already in the name already meaning that it works in the background so trading isn't in any sense a passive income, more like a side hustle although it can be argued that renting your property is also a passive income even if it requires interactions. Your reason they should consider being active in trading isn't applicable to everyone because there's a reason that someone's looking for a passive income and it involves their focus to be not split into other stuff which in this case has a risk of them losing their money.

If you really want a passive income aside from Bitcoin, I think number here are Ethereum, Bnb, Sol, Ada, Arb, Shib. But these are just my suggestion, then put them on staking methods so that everyday you have earnings you can get from it or Farm them all depending on your choice of how you're gonna set it up in terms of how many amount you like to farm or stakes it.

The only thing that I can think of is staking and holding. In staking, you'll put your funds or altcoins on a platform for a specific period of time, which is again risky as this feature is only for new coins, and holding is somewhat passive, but again, over time in altcoins, there is a possibility that it goes down. The chances of having passive income in crypto are low unless you just hold. That is why it is better to get your hands dirty and do trading so that you'll earn profit.

I agree.

Staking is the only way to earn passive income in cryptocurrency, I think. Trading is also a good one but it's so risky for a newbie. Hodling is the most famous one since all you have to do it to wait after you bought when the price dumped. Profits in staking is not that big compare to trading but a profit is still a profit. You could also look for an actual job or be a freelancer while you're holding your cryptocurrency, the more income, the better.

Aside from staking and all the other stuff, You can earn passively by being a liquidity provider on some platforms with a little amount of money, some platforms offer you such an opportunity and in return, you earn money from it. Too, you can try mining, but the mining issue is in getting tools and electricity costs of mining, and some platforms allow you to mine their coin and earn some rewards. Just be reminded that all these involve risk because you are dealing with Alcoins.

If you have been into crypto for a while you would know that anything that says can provide you with passive income is mostly a scam. Lending itself is not a passive earning, it carries huge risk and you would be surprised to see how much lenders on this forum risk over non-collateral loans.

You can simply buy bitcoin at the bear market because the prices will be low and your possible margin when the bull market sets in would be high. But nobody is going to generate money and give it to you so easily. Previously casinos allowed investing in their bankroll - but the big ones dont allow such anymore.

Be careful of staking and all that, once you have sent your money to a different person its not technically owned by you anymore.

You are right, Franctoshi, in trying to get passive income by mining, you definitely need a tool or equipment that requires a person to spend a large amount of capital to buy and maintain the work equipment.

Regarding risk, it must be managed.
I still remember to this day that risks will always be there and will never disappear even though we have tried our best to stay away from them. That is, not necessarily because dealing with altcoins we will be at risk.
Dealing with bitcoins also comes with a risk to be faced, but not as great as one might get when dealing with altcoins.

If they talk about on investment side well for sure all of people who offer that are just a scammers since they just attempting to catch newbies attention with that words and  there's no really true with those promises since most likely this will end up on situation that we don't like.

If they really want to earn on crypto without taking any risk especially if they can't handle the stress for losing their money better they should work for it acquired some skills and get hired by numerous clients here or offer some services which other people cannot do.

If you have the opportunity, then you should keep bitcoin. While the bear market, the price for it is not as high as during the bull market. It will rise in price later and you can earn money. Other opportunities such as holding altcoins may be more risky. During this period, the desire to get rich can lead to the loss of money, you need to be careful

Staking is one of the most famous ways in order for you to get passive income.
I will not explain what staking is because there are many articles, and videos online that can explain it way better than I am.

I've been staking coins for years already. Currently, I'm staking ADA, ATOM, and CRO coins. I bought some of it during the bear market, and instead of them just sitting out there, and not multiplying, why not put it in a place where I can stake it, and earn certain amounts of coins over a long period of time. Just imagine you earning coins that you can sell if the bull market starts. It's like they gave you free money, and maximized that free money thru selling at it's peak or near to it.

There are some ways like the Earn feature of Binance, and maybe some exchanges, but staking is what I'm doing right now. I suggest you need to make a bit of a research so that you will not get overwhelmed. Good Luck. :)

This would be a very tough one. Not only you need a lot of money to do it, which would be easy to get if you are already rich so you could just use that to get the rig, but even if you are rich, you would have to realize that you either have to know a lot about rigs and hardware in order to fix any issues and understand coding just enough to make them work, which is not very little, usually they run on linux if you want them to be optimized but could run on anything really.

So all in all you need to know that, or hire someone who does, and then you are taking a big risk of anything going wrong. All these combined results with the fact that you are not going to make all that much money, the result won't be that good.

I have no experience with lending, so I am not sure how much profit it could generate. But the other thing that is available is staking. You can find it in many centralized and decentralized platforms. Whatever kind of platform you choose, you will have to hand over your assets to the platform owners. Also, there are 2 types of staking. One is locked staking, another is flexible staking. In locked staking, you will not be able to withdraw your funds before the locked period is over. On the other hand, flexible staking will let you withdraw at any time. But will give you less profit than locked ones.

With the experience I had with them, I don't think they are the best option to choose from. If you use locked staking, in times of price dumps or a project's downfall, you will not be able to withdraw your assets. Thus you will make losses instead of profits. Also, the APR is not that good.
My advice is to convert your assets into Bitcoin. Keep them in personal wallets and just HODL. The amount you will get from staking will not even compare with the amount you can get from HODLING. Not to mention that it will have no such risk as staking. Your assets which you can control. So give it a thought.

As a passive income, do you want it to fulfill your needs?
If YES then this is a tough way to trade or invest.

So the wise advice is to invest by continuing to collect bitcoin at least until the halving arrives and wait a few months to see the price bullrun again, although there is no guarantee but I think it is necessary to be optimistic because bitcoin always has the same historical cycle as before.

Not sure how to earn passively unless you never leave your existing job.

When we do speak about passive income then it would really be pertaining into something which we would really be just simply sit and wait which we could still make out some revenue which it is really the true meaning of passive on which it is something that cant really be that so easy here on crypto because when we do speak about passive then it is something that would really be means about assurance on making profits.Lets say about having those staking per year which it would be giving out whether that monthly gain out or yearly but still it wont really be guarantee out that it would really be that  giving out that kind of profit in a year basis knowing that price of crypto is really that volatile and something that cant really be known. In overall people would really be falling into the category of making out trades which it would be considered to be that an active thing to be done by someone for them to make income or profit here on crypto space. If you arent really that able to find out other various ways then it would really be just only possible into those traditional businesses or investment
in speaking about passive like on real estate which had been rented or whatsoever correlated to it.

^I think there are more and additional of what you have said BTC mining can be a form of passive income, but it requires a significant upfront investment in mining hardware and energy costs. Miners validate transactions on the BTC network and are rewarded with newly minted BTC and transaction fees. However, mining has become increasingly competitive and requires technical expertise.
Next would be, Lending, yes it is because it's similar to interest-bearing accounts, you can lend out your BTC to individuals or platforms in the crypto space in exchange for interest. Peer-to-peer lending platforms connect lenders with borrowers.

btc mining though is not for all. aside from the expensive equipment you need to buy, should have knowledge on how to do it right. now, investing in lending platforms, this is quite high risk for me because the platforms should be solid, trusted and reliable. even if they guarantee profit, what is the guarantee that you can get back your funds plus profits?
now, if the OP just don't want to do anything, one thing is like put your coin such as BTC to flexible savings or fixed savings like in binance. choose your platform carefully here.

Have you explored the option of staking? This has been the strategy of many while waiting for the bull market. All you have to do is to read everything about staking and know what is best rate for you, you also need to consider your capital since staking more can give a good returns. There’s a risk with this though so make sure to monitor always your staking and do this on a reputable site.

Staking makes sense when the price at which you entered a given cryptocurrency does not fall by more than 10%. If the price drops more than that, then staking is useless as the income from it will not cover any costs. Stablecoin staking is a more viable option, but it generates very little APY income.

so far staking is the most logical way of getting passive income, i just don't think there's anyway thats more sure in bringing profits meanwhile you're doing absolutely nothing.
although the apy offered might be quite small, or miniscule to say at the least. but what you can do is increasing the capital so that the time will be worth it.
heck, sometimes staking profit might outweigh that of trading profits by some good margin.
the key is having big capital then you could be at ease in getting that massive profits, otherwise forget it, passive income thats worth it is mostly only for those with big amount of money.

Staking is one of the choices but it requires risk. Others are making something out of investing in mining rigs, I heard ROI may take longer now after buying expensive items. Trading is another if you can manage to learn the market behavior.

IMO, the best passive income would be investing in Bitcoin. It does take a long time for profits to be earned but I am sure there will be some if I could just stick to the plan of keeping it for years. Just imagine those who bought at $300 - $500, it's not that long time ago. I've made my mistakes before at selling it too early, I won't make the same mistake now.

Please don't try HYIP (high-yield investment programs), this is suicide.

Yes. Affiliate marketing the OP can try this too and it requires him to put in the work but then there is nothing to lose. He can quit and anytime and that would be fine the amount of money he will earn will be equivalent to the amount of work he puts in and it will take some time before he starts to see the reward if he is up for it, then this is one of the best ways to earn passive income in crypto. I also think it is the easiest and most risk-free way too. Other things he can try include staking already mentioned by a user then yield farming, he may consider cloud mining if he has the equipment, crypto interest accounts, dividend-earning tokens, airdrops too, are in my opinion difficult.

If you see Bitcoin was still in the bear market then it's an opportunity to hold more Bitcoins. But in my opinion, base on my analysis in the market, I consider Bitcoin as a bullish. The market volume is quite low that's why others think Bitcoin is still bearish. If we compare it before, when advancing starts, the price move to the upside drastically. Aside from that, if you want to earn passive income in crypto, I can recommend to stake your tokens but this not a guarantee that you will be profitable because even though you will get more tokens the price might decrease. So you have think it every well before you decide.

Staking Bitcoin is certainly a good idea, you will receive 2 benefits at once, namely from the long-term investment of Bitcoin that continues to rise and the profit from staking done by seeing how much you stake.

This can be done only on centralized exchanges or some crypto wallets that support staking.
Regarding risk, it will definitely be the user's risk, and must be aware that each platform has its own risks.

It is better to stake on a supported wallet than on a centralized exchange.
Passive income will be earned and more tokens will be owned when staking runs long enough (depending on the APR given).

I agree with staking, if you want a passive income then staking would be the best option but you have to make sure that you're staking in a trusted and reputable coin like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and other top coins. There are still other ways to earn in crypto since it has a lot to opportunities to offer but it takes time and effort to learn everything about it and to deal with the risks.
You can earn from trading, investing, joining campaigns and more but you have to invest skills and knowledge to be successful in these fields as you know, earning isn't easy these days, you still have to exert and invest time and effort to succeed.

You can't consider trading a passive income source because you need to do a lot of work to earn some profit from trading and a passive is that earns you money from a source where you don't need to work continuously but you make an investment and make a set up that will keep generating an income for you which can be any amount low or high, but since you need to do research and analysis, watch the charts all the time, make trades manually, so you can't consider the profits you get from trading to be passive income.

Other than staking, I don't think there are any other ways to earn a passive income from cryptocurrencies but I don't recommend staking because that gets your capital stuck because some staking contracts don't allow you to withdraw the tokens you have staked until the contract period gets over.

If you want to earn passive income then you must buy some tokens with some money and start staking them. If you keep stalking then from there they will pay you some amount daily and with that you can earn good amount daily. But you have to keep in mind that if you are staking on any exchange which is not trusted then you can not lose money and try to staking on trusted exchange. But I think if you invest in Bitcoin for a long period of time it will give you a better profit in future as compared to passive income. So I suggest you leave all the worries and invest in Bitcoin and hold it will be good for you.

         There are not so many of them, but there are people who have a whole strategy for winning money. Naturally, excitement interferes with the investment process, but discipline will come to the rescue here. This experience comes only with years and through your own mistakes. It is never too late to learn this if there is an incredible desire. After all, temptations do not go away, but on the contrary, they appear even more when the money is in the accounts.

Earning passive income with crypto I can say that instead of putting coins on your spot wallet I usually do staking. I'm staking my coins now with 35% APR this is a good thing right now since we're on bearish market. while the price changing I'm still earning a couple coins everyday. When the price goes up maybe 2 years from now I can claim it all at once. It's really hard to depends on crypto with the current bear market we have so staking is the only thing i can advice right now.

Recently, I saw this product, it provides an opportunity to earn passive income for traders. Take a look, maybe you will find it useful https://structure.finance/dnt/
I tried a couple of times, spending $1-2 and it worked out for me. Pretty entertaining thing

Looks pretty safe but the interface is weird, it's beta version

Are you a developer of blockchain projects? I really want to know because I saw a bright future there but later on the picture became blur.

35% APR is very high.
How did you get this?
On which coin and platform?
Is it annual or biannual?

There are various passive income methods that you can do in crypto:

1. Staking
2. Liquidity provider
3. DeFi fixed yields
4. Farm/stake LP
5. Node validator

But the most common one is staking where it is just like time deposit in crypto. I usually do that in some mainnet platforms like in Ethereum, Linea, zkSync ERA, etc.

Node validator is the most complicated one but having bigger rewards because it needs you to have VPS, stable internet connection and technical knowledge in running the node. Depending on the coin that you want to run a node, there are some minimum amounts that you need in order to run a node.

Like Ethereum, it requires a minimum of 32 ETH to be a node validator. As for the rest, not that much.

staking assets is probably the easiest thing to do. OP, be careful not to be too trusting of staking platforms. or maybe web for cloud mining. if you deposit your assets, you can lose everything if you don't choose the right platform.
but I also can't be satisfied with the APR offered for some platforms. if you have trading skills, you can use them. I prefer trading than staking. but if not, staking may be a better alternative.

Like others said the only service that can pay you passive income at a time is staking, but I must warn you that staking on wrong exchanges can be problematic for you. I'm not promoter of Binance but I have heard that they also have staking option available and anyone who stakes their coins on Binance exchange is on safe zone as far as I know.

Other than staking I don't think that any other option to make money in crypto can be done on passive way. I know that those who run their news sites related to crypto-currencies can also earn passive income but that type of income requires a lot of effort and money in first place. But, yes one can also earn passive income from such sites that are entirely created to publish crypto related news articles.

I think you came here perfect time. For good profit bear market is best time i believe. If you really want to passive income you have to must invest in this market. If you invest here in this bear market in future you will huge profited there has no doubt. You only need invest on Bitcoin and hold it. If you were able to wait one to two years you will be huge profited. I think it is the best way to good income from this cryptocurrency market.

Moreover you can stake Bitcoin or top Altcoin then it will give you big profit. And you can earn refaral income from crypto exchanger, and from many gambling site. You can try it.

Though trading is not passive income, you'll need to be awake at that time, unlike staking, but I do prefer more trading, as staking is somewhat for me not a sure profit because sometimes your funds get locked out as there are scam platforms and I don't see a future on it, unlike trading, where you can earn anytime as long as your entries are good, but the downside is that it ain't passive and you'll need to get your hands dirty to learn them.

Staking on some big exchanges could be possible. In Trustwallet, they also offer staking there. Both places are trusted but we only need to allocate small amounts for staking because as you said, most of our money should still be used for investing as it is the one that can provide us bigger income. Studying is a must because how can we perform any action if we don't know how it works? Investing isn't hard as trading so we only need a basic knowledge and we are good to go after that.

There is no way we can earn daily profits in trading no matter how skilled we are and that is why it's recommended to have other sources of income.

Well, i believe by now, you must have gotten your answer, so yeah, there are actually several ways one could earn passive income from crypto, and one of those is by staking, there are two types or forms of staking, and that is the centralized form and the decentralized form.

The centralized form of staking is one that are offered by centralized platforms like centralized exchanges and so on, i honestly do not recommend this type of staking because, though they often come with a high APY or APR, but it comes with some level of risk too, the risk is that, what ever coins you hold on a centralized platform is no longer yours, if for whatever reason the platform can no longer process withdrawal requests, then your money is gone for ever, as there will be no way or means to gain back access to your funds.

Decentralized staking on the other hand come often come with a tiny APY or APR, most especially for those that last for a very long time, like staking on the Solana blockchain, Renec Blockchain, Ethereum blockchain, Tron blockchain and so on, all this blockchains i mentions plus some others offer staking that is very passive, that is, you could be earning money for a very long time depending on how much you staked.

There are also other ways through which you can earn passive income from crypto outside staking, but staking is the easiest  and best for me .

Anything concerning cryptocurrency investment cannot be trusted hundred 💯 that it will give you a profit, so therefore is not good to advice a newbie or newly investor to invest in bitcoin without knowing the right time to venture into the investment, whosoever that planing for earning should know that it's always that profit can come in into cryptocurrency investment, and it have in mind that investment of cryptocurrency and especially bitcoin do revise most times and it's not a reliable measure

There is nothing to find like that here- passive income. You can somehow earn a profit in the crypto space but thinking we could call it passive income, ain't possible. Why? It is because of the volatile nature. Prices went up and down, and you can't even expect you can earn every day or this amount monthly, unlike in a business where you can possibly hit the target daily or monthly.
Crypto investment is just a side hustle, you can earn from here and you possibly lose as well. You can't control the market situation and so the profit that you get.

The only passive income that I know you can do with altcoins is through staking, farming, trading or copy trading, if you are going to do staking, the best platform I can recommend to you is the Binance platform, if on Dex you want to stake is biswap for me he is okay.

Farming biswap is also okay for me, and as for copy trading, I recommend Fairdesk and Bitget, they are quite legit and their features are good too. But this is just my suggestion.It is still Do it at your own risk anyway.

Instead of advising newbies to invest in Bitcoin or any other crypto coins out there, just get their curiosity high up by telling them to explore crypto and how it differs from stock trading. People tend to back away from such opportunity when they're almost feel "forced" to. I ain't a psychologist but this is somewhat what I feel whenever people tend to tell me about my decisions about my money.

It's still passive income whenever you call it. You're still earning something without your actions. On the other side of the coin though lies a passive loss as well due to volatility. It ain't that bad anyway unless you're going full-time investing like committing all your savings to it.

Do you want them to invest or trade on what they are not perfect off, or you want them to embrace cryptocurrency when they have not known anything concerning cryptocurrency, the thing is that in cryptocurrency you cannot tell someone what to do because investing in cryptocurrency is something of choice and something of determination in which the investors have already map out their plans before coming in, no amount of what you advice them to do that will discouraged them. A cryptocurrency investment is something of choice and mind because if you are not determined you can not invest in cryptocurrency investment.

But you will be able to get a good profit only if you have placed a large amount on the staking. And although OP does not write about the size of his deposit, I can assume that this amount is very small and, accordingly, he will receive a small profit, which will not be able to somehow increase the existing deposit.

It is true that a small amount is not perfect for passive income in crypto staking, But if you think long-term and plan for passive income then I think if you deposit more amount you can get good profit without much risk. I personally think that when working in cryptocurrency one should always work with the active market and if possible, save some money from the earnings for the future.

LoL, It's really funny, but I think he made a mistake in his title; he was supposed to ask the question there on "how he can make a passive income from crypto."  doubt if there is even any crypto job that can really be very sustainable. @OP, i think you should rather see any crypto job as a side hustle to any other real job you might be doing.

The cryptocurrency market is highly risky, so any investment can lead to a complete loss of the deposit. So to speak that you can get a good profit without much risk is not right. And the more money you invest, the higher the risk. It is for this reason that investors resort to diversifying their investment portfolio.

Especially with several altcoins at stake, it is clear that there is a big risk in it. What if the price drops down it is no longer profitable and even becomes a big loss, no one is free from risk.
Never bet too much on coins that have no clear time limit maybe it will be again but what about the decline of this coin clearly has to be borne alone especially with a large APY.

The risk is not only in price fluctuation, there are other things as well. For example, which platform to choose to stake coins with them, and who is reliable enough to hold money with them? Just remember Celsius, and I will emphasize again, not your key, not your coins.

I think most people do prefer to stake on platforms like Binance. Because they're easy and popular but, the cons there is that you don't hold your fund. By that means, is that there's no private key that you're holding for your funds unlike those that are in the DEX.

As long as you're earning passively on the platforms you prefer, they're really good. Speaking of this copy trading, I've known this but with those exchanges you've mentioned, is it like that they're the one doing the trade for you and you just leave it there? or you still need to manually control your copy trades?

In crypto there are loads of Passive income with crypto but loads of it are not what it appears to be, most are actually ponzi scheme in disguise. The best I know about is the staking feature on coins and platforms are better.

If critical thinking can be deployed, something new can be birthed to the passive income space in the crpto space, until then, lets work with staking alone.

Staking or just HODL Bitcoin for few years and then come back to collect your profit. People would usually go with DCA as they progressively increasing their Bitcoin amount in desired amount of time consistently and then just watch the profit. As we are talking about passive income then you don't need to care about the price crash as long as you believe the price will recover at any time, that means one less hassle to think for.

It must be remembered that there is no guaranteed profit in the cryptocurrency market, and no one guarantees that the price will necessarily recover after the fall. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that after a few years, the purchased cryptocurrency will cost more.

Truly agree with you! I live in Ukraine and crypto regulations became so strict, so I cannot do almost anything without telling the government. So, I'm not sure if I will be a huge crypto fan in a few years

I agree with that, in the crypto market price movements are very fast so it is possible for anything to happen so the risk is quite high even though it will be proportional to the possible profit that will be obtained.
By spending a large amount of capital and planning to invest in the long term, it is quite recommended, but the thing that must be known is that the risk will be the same as the level of possible profit, it is worth it.

you are right that there is no guarantee of profit in the crypto currency market. This is a risky market. Everyone should invest carefully here. As far as I am concerned, Bitcoin is the most reliable of all crypto currencies. Profit and loss are associated with every business. You cannot find any business in the world in which there is only profit and no risk of loss. If we check the past record of Bitcoin, we will know that the price of Bitcoin has fallen many times, but it has also recovered its value after falling .If you check the records of the last few months, Bitcoin price dropped to $15k, but then reached $30k. In every business experience, knowledge, hard work and a good choice can reduce our risk of loss. Currently, there are thousands of coins in the market, but people trust Bitcoin the most.

Well, everyone has their own preference. Some of us have heard of Staking before but it didn't really attract us to try it. We are already good with what hodling has to offer. If you are enjoying the benefits of Staking then that's great. Other than having a passive earning from crypto, some of us are also trading so that we can make use of the price change.

You might be earning new coins when you stake but it will still depend on the quality of the coin you own. If that was a sh8tcoin, I don't think it will be valuable later on, since it was mostly sh8tcoins are the ones who have a high APR. Cryptos are so volatile and unpredictable so indeed that having other sources of income outside cryptos is needed so that we won't be zero in case our crypto business didn't do well.

Keep looking for a passive income in crypto; for sure, you'll end up getting scammed in a HYIP or Ponzi scheme, mostly if you are a newbie because you want a shortcut and don't do the dirty work. If you really learn crypto deeply, for sure, you won't find any kind of this passive income except staking, but again, it won't last long, so it is better to invest in holding bitcoin or doing trading.

quite a few have already given such advice. and indeed that is the best way to grow our investment. gradually increasing the amount of our investment or trading that will bring profit. but everything still requires skill. don't think too much we can double our investment quickly. The Bitcoin we have will grow in the long term, and we have to be patient. instead of depositing our assets to scam websites.

It’s rare to find some passive income these days and if you’re not cautious and careful enough, you will only fall into scammers traps. That’s why don’t be too trusting when other people say that you can earn passive income in crypto. There’s always a need to put some works and time for it so you can expect to earn. However, you could also try following the advices ahead of this post and if they weren’t work for you, then let’s just say that passive income rarely exist these days. Instead, work on it and give the best what you can be, be knowledgeable and even skilled on it, that way there’ll be sure income coming your way.

ETH staking does seem not like a scam but you gotta have a huge amount of capital to make it. Let's say you a more than a million of ADA which you have bought since the time when its price was less than $0.02. It would be a good source of income actually. Defi was once a popular way of generating passive income but like any other methods, the bear market killed it.

These Staking coins are only good if you are one of the first to have figured its an easy money when you have looked into the future before the prices tanked.

It is the greed in people that expose them to scam. Imagine if someone for example drop a scam link to op now with a little write up telling him to sign up and do his KYC, it means he will fall for the scam because he is in need passive income and he will regret later. We need to be careful and contented with what we have and probably look out for something genuine with care.

Staking and lending crypto are some of the services that will help you earn passive income in the market. But if ask if they are worth doing, well it depends on what crypto coins you are staking and when it comes to crypto lending, for me it’s quite risky especially if you are lending to some unreliable and not trustworthy groups or individuals.

If I may suggest, never go with passive income as they are sometimes attached with some scams. Learn to work on your knowledge and skills, and you will find satisfying income out from your hardwork and endurance.

Many people had start to earn in crypto with the motive of earning more or additional income from the Cryptocurrency.Many people get scam with the fake Ponzi scheme because of less awareness with the cryptocurrency.The newbie should learn more from cryptocurrency and then start to inverse in the cryptocurrency.Some scammer will make you greedy and sell you the waste token.Which is not the listed and the project will closed by the owner after made particular percentage of tokens.

If you have sufficient amount of crypto, you can do staking and crypto lending as well. Those were probably the most known that generate passive income. If they work for you, then good. But never close your mind from learning new insights in the forum. That way, while you are enjoying your passive means of income, at least you are also learning the process on how to gain through active means of income in the crypto. Investing is a good start, but always do it after you have acquired prior knowledge and understanding on the risks associated in crypto investment.

True no one is reliable enough to keep their money on the platform some big companies have gone bankrupt after bankruptcy user funds cannot be withdrawn especially by risking a long time and true the Celsius platform is one as an example to avoid using the platform.

Look at the current price fluctuations bitcoin fell to $25K and of course the effect on other coins is the same, meaning that risking will not be profitable when the market is bearish.

I avoid platforms - not your keys, not your coins is the right word.

now what makes you comfortable and what can you do?  because there are several ways that you can currently use to get passive income from crypto such as being part of masternodes, staking, bounty campaigns, trading or writing blogs that give crypto rewards. 
but since this topic is in the trading section, what you have to do is focus on becoming a trader or investor and currently there are quite a number of exchanges that can be a comfortable place for traders, there are also some DeFi platforms that can provide passive income but the risk is quite high.

Staking works for others so if you think it will also be worthwhile for you, then you can try it too. But always remember that those reward coins you will get from staking have also high chances that they will eventually lose their value in the future, so know what coins you have to hold for long.

However, while the market is still bearish, you can also prepare for the next Bitcoin halving. Do the DCA, it will increase the volume of your coins in less time and when Bitcoin bull run is finally here, you can always take time to sell and make significant profits.

One of the beauties of the crypto ecosystem is that it never runs short of passive income opportunities. If you are not trading, you're lending, or you're staking, or you are simply doing something else that generates income for you as long as you are consistent and do it right. I came across a crypto trading competition in one of the top exchanges, tagged #KCGI on Twitter, you might want to check out if it meets your passive income demand.

Investing in cryptocurency is better when what you're after is capital gains from long term holding and not passive income, cryptocurrency aren't business that you can expect passive income from and any project offering you passive income shouldn't be trusted because they'll fail you in the future. Staking is the only way to get passive income but don't believe every project offering staking will stay popular forever to give you profits, many of them won't be around for next bull market.

Any individual interested in Investing in cryptocurency, they should do that with either trading cryptocurency for profits or holding cryptocurency for future gains. Any cryptocurency project that looks like a HYIP or Ponzi scheme shouldn't be trusted and avoided always.

Trading is profitable for those who have enough experience doing and even consider this as their passive income. In fact, one of my friends has become a full-time trader leaving his stable job because he notices that he can earn more. This situation will give us a picture that it was not impossible to have a passive income in crypto. The only thing we have to do is choose the best place for us - a trader, investor, crypto blogging, etc. What I mean is to fit ourselves into something that we think we can do it.

Many people leaves with their stable job and focus become full time trader in cryptocurrency, some of the them not priority with cryptocurrency as passive income but become main income. I have been in this position after graduating and not continues as a teacher and spent full time as influencer for full time trader. Can't guarantee with stable or consistent profitable when becoming full time trader, but if not bad ideas if cryptocurrency as passive income and still have main job during our saving not enough for one year later without working yet. For every one want to adopt with full time trader and cryptocurrency not only as passive income but also main income better have much saving before and you don't fell frustrated when get loss as full time trader later.

Sure, there are other ways one can earn apart from Lending, try staking if you are afraid to stake other altcoins then try stable coins there are profitable farms for staking stablecoins. Trading can also earn you passive income with time you can buy altcoins at low prices and sell when the prices go up it is also a very good way to earn passive income in cryptocurrency.

Well, anything related to bitcoin involves risk that’s why we should never take decisions unless we have studied it intensively in order to lessen the risk of losing. Although bitcoin is said to be profitable but it’s never a guaranteed word for all of us, even veterans are not an exception. Whether it’s passive or active income we are looking here, as long as there are still calculated risks on it, then we can’t reliably expect 100% for it to happen.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with the motivation to earn money from crypto. I believe everyone in this forum trying to get money from crypto as well. But we must understand that getting money in crypto isn't an easy thing, it is high risk and we must have sufficient knowledge to deal with this situation. Newbies sometimes hurry to invest or trading crypto, they think it is easy to earn profits. They don't know which crypto coins are safe to invest and which are too risky. They sometimes end up by losing money in crypto because they follow the hypes. They got scammed on the hype coins that have no good fundamentals. It is sad to know that there are still many newbies who don't understand how crypto works.

A lot of us here are probably into staking but even if we say it’s a passive income, still the guarantee is not 100% that it will be profitable in the future knowing all these reward tokens you got will never have the same value after a couple of months and years. So it can be passive just for the moment only.

For me, if you want bigger opportunity to be profitable, just invest in bitcoin and hold it for long term. It could not be profitable today but as bitcoin value continues to surge high, the future profits are also incomparable.

Staking would be great but it will never stay passive in the future. Know that there are actually no passive income that will stay that way forever. Everything should be done with more time and efforts so that you will mold it into an active income, and not that it’s only going to give you profits without putting any work on it. That could be the reason why instead of looking for a passive income which I think is still unreliable, go look for an active income instead. That way, you will know that you’ll be generating profits soon because you have seen how much efforts you have put into it just to see it working and become successful.

Apart from the staking method there are another passive income means in the crypto market since the OP don't like the lending idea and other passive income I know are yield farming,  automate saving ^{(this involve keeping your crypto on CEX though and the risk is high)} , and liquidity provider.  As you have said,  some of the passive income may not be profitable at some point but lending appear to be better if know how to so it right.

Unfortunately there are too many projects that promises great returns and then fail, and too many people fall for these for some reason. I think the fact that there are already good ones made people forget that it took a lot of hard work and a lot of hype to make them be there, and something new can't be there.

There are way too many people who do not know what makes a coin go up a lot and that is why it is important to realize that we are not going to end up with something good in return. I hope that it gets to a point where we should see a lot of changes. I know that it will take some time, but it should be important to be able to see the distinction in order to make a profit, all these terrible ones are too obvious to me.

On continuous increasing in numbers in talks about the new projects that been launching on this market then it isnt really that new anymore that most of them are trash and this is something that should really be looked or be careful upon if you dont like on messing up your money or investment. Passive income could only go via staking but there's still a risks compared into those passive income that we do have in traditional business.
In staking then it would really be still determining on the value of the coin that you are really that parking in because if the value drops then no matter how good looking or big that APY then it would really be still useless
plus having those probabilities that those validators would shut down then there's no way on getting those coins back. This is why i dont really believe about passive income unless if there would really be some
monthly drops for certain holders of such coin.Just like into those years when im dealing with some altcoins in the past but it was cut-off.

to get profits from investments, especially from new projects, can indeed generate big profits, but when to be able to harvest the results of that investment, we don't know it, even with investments it generates passive income. however, we must be aware of the risks so that we can plan well if things do not happen as expected, considering that we have to bear the risk of an investment. therefore many people who look normal work but they have a lot of money from investing as passive income

I saw there' re products where you predict btc price for next 5 min and double your investment. Do you think it's a trick?

what product is it? i have never seen a trading platform that can do that.
if what you mean is futures trading with multiples. it can be done but it also increases the risk.
the weakness of staking that can be an option for you is the unpredictable value of your assets in the long term. maybe your asset quantity increased because of the APR you got. but the value could have increased, could also decrease.
