Hey folks,

I realise that the simplest way to make a profit on crypto at the moment seems to be just buying and holding Bitcoin, but I'm curious if there are any coins or tokens designed specifically to generate ongoing passive income for holding them and if so, how they work?

Appreciate any replies,

I don't think there is any chance that some coins are generating passive income. It's not like banks that generate revenue if you hold your money to your bank(Interest). Maybe DeepOnion coin. Haha, They do have a LOT of AIRDROP COINS. Kidding aside, I have never seen anything like that.

you can read up on the POS (proof of stake) algorithm.
It is designed to reward people that hold (stake) a certain amount of altcoins for a certain time.

This way, you can create passive income, however, it's only a limited number of altcoins that use POS, if you pick an altcoin to stake, and you gain 10% in one year, but in the same time, the altcoin's price goes down 50%, you end up with more altcoins but with less actual value.

I think that will be possible on investing your coins to a mining site. I am not sure if theres a passive way to make you proits grow. But maybe you can try on investment method.

I think it probably does. As far as i know, you cannot earn without doing work, so i guess it is maybe haed to earn passively by just investing in some investment plans, but first also you must research further about what you are actually entering like what you ar going to invest in. Aside from bitcoin, you can also have other cryptos as for long term investments example is ethereum, maybe it could help you someday.

When we say passive income? Btc will give us passive income, even holding it for a long time. We can generate more bitcoins compared to other coins(altcoins), and we can consider ethereum also as trusted coins aside from having with bitcoin. By keeping this coins you can positively earned profit this.

I guess mining is what you're looking for. Ark has a voting system where they give out new coins every week, so that also might be useful. The profits will still depend on the value of the coin tho.

I'm not really sure if that's really possible passive income that they earn, just like other said, it's not a regular bank stuff. ALL this people holding btc is waiting for a perfect time to sell, I also believe that these people do have regular job aside from mining, holding btc. Just saying  ::)

You probably mean the Ethereum. In these coins the developers laid down the mechanism of inflation. POS is an attempt to stop this process but I'm sure it's a ticking time bomb. When it explodes all will suffer who keeps ETH. I do not recommend long to keep money in altcoins.

Mining nowadays is not like a passive income anymore at least from my point of view, you need to change of pools constantly because you may want to mine another coin that is profitable now etc etc...so in the end you will need to investigate what coin is profitable now, what pool to use now...well obviously this is different than mining btc, but i don't think that this is our case ;)

I defenately wasn't thinking about ethereum... There are a couple dozen coins that  use POS as their algorithm. Examples are Diamonds, blackcoin, Magicoin,...
I don't really follow altcoin development, but ethereum switching from POW to POS is something i haven't heared (yet).

There is no actual passive income in online business models.
You need at least work few hours a day to get paid.

When it comes to token, its quite risky compared to bitcoin holding. I will suggest that only those ones with ICO running are the best option in my own opinion because those ones, when you invest early, you get to enjoy the bonus which will suffice in case there is drop in its price compared to holding the already launched ones whose value is mostly determined by pump and dump scenarios.

However, in deciding which one to hold, there is need for you to fully understand what it is about and not carried away by the reviews or articles that abound over the web. This are mostly paid write-ups which might not be factual and even be objective because of the payment that would be involved between the promoters/developers and the writers. Your own due diligence is a priority.

Buying and holding bitcoin is surely the best way to generate a better earning, but here all that's required is the patience to hold. Because in between price fluctuations take place, during which one should not get into the panicking mentality but need to overcome the same. When one can do it, profiting or getting a passive income is promised.

That's a very short sighted answer and completely incorrect, you have numerous forms of online passive income.

Investing in a gambling site is definitely passive income, I'd even say that income earned through referrals is also somewhat passive.

Buying coins and waiting for them to increase in value over the long term is passive.

You could also invest in running a masternode, but it's pretty expensive, at least if you want a Dash masternode.
I'll post a few links.

https://steemit.com/masternode/@geodesix/masternode-passive-income-for-all
https://themerkle.com/running-a-masternode-is-an-excellent-way-to-earn-passive-income/

as altcoins are affected by pumps.
so it is risky investment for long period, but yes anything investment having risky.
never spend money on where you not ready to losing.

Having a passive income is always a good option the burden of expenses is less on the income and you are able to save more.

Bitcoins is the good option to generate a passive income,buy the coins and hold it for some time and you will get a good return as the cryptocurrency market is rising, bitcoins market has over powered the value of the Goldman sachs this market is rising and will keep on rising.
Invest in bitcoins you want to see your money to grow.

Only ways that I know of making passive income with bitcoin:

1) Getting your Bitcoins in an exchange that pays for loans, like Poloniex. This is high risk because you are just hoping that the exchange doesn't leave with your money, but it's very tempting since it is as close as passive income as it gets that I know of.

2) Holding BTC and waiting for forks to happen. You receive free coins that you can dump for real BTC.

3) Opening a Lightning Network hub: This is not available yet but will be similar to PoS but for BTC.

I'm quite noobish when it comes to this and have only really held bitcoins. Looks like it would be much safer to hold bitcoins rather than alts? I had a bad experience with Ripple before and I was wondering if that's the norm with hold and trading alts.

I think that instead of holding the coin, it is best to do trading so you can even double your budget as opposed to keeping where it is dependent on the market.

Absolute passive income like rent a house from the bitcoin or alt coins is not possible. Those sites which assures the monthly income or for that matter daily return on your investment are scams.
One big example of such cloud mining scams is bitcoingrowthfund and gainbitcoin. Stay away from them. Somewhat real deal cloud mining sites have return so low that you may want to keep your money somewhere else.
Ongoing passive income is not something coins are designed for. These coins are there to put in use, many of them have actual use case. They don't need to be treated as commodity.

You can mine and trade alt coins. Buying and holding bitcoin is a passive income and it will really give you great profit until the day that you are willing to sell it.

There are some other ways that you can add some passive income by investing to ICOs and also by investing to the bankroll of a casino.

Having a lot of source will give you passive income.

Well, technically speaking, there's no income generation when you buy a cryptocurrency. You buy one coin, no matter how long you wait you will still have 1 coin.
However theses coins can give you access to more coins, depending on what you are speaking. Some cryptocurrencies works with PoS, which means you have to let your wallet run an algorithm and you can get a percentage of your stake in a fixed amount of time (you have to check coin specs' for the actual numbers).

You can also encounter new currencies that distribute the pre-mine depending on how much you were holding another older coin (Bitcoin or Ethereum for example).
Also, you can get free coins if there's a hard fork, as you can then sell the forked coins for some additional main coins.  ^^

Proof of stake is probably the closest you will get to a passive income. However this requires some kind of initial investment to start 'staking' and receive an interest every so often. Maybe you should check out Diamond coin (DMD), someone recommended it to me but it required quite an investment. An investment I couldn't afford.

I believe that passive income mainly involves buy and sell of coins, and of course older coins might pump when you are going to hold it for a long period of time. Not just for bitcoin and ethereum, maybe we could just look into another crypto currencies and those coins that are going to pump might be able to withstand it value for years of fluctuating. As far as I see more coins now were developing their profit gains that's why you won't even notice the price goes up and that really happened on lots of coins in the crypto markets.

Airdrops have been mentioned. That's correct. Some devs do give out some coins from their work for promotion and advert sake. You can sell off these coins once they hit the market or exchange them for bitcoin .

Mining has been.mentioned. That's bullcrap! Mining doesn't give that passive income. It isn't even profitable anymore this day.

But how come no one mentioned coins that are into lending and lockdown programmes like Bitconnect coin and Regalcoin. These coins offer you the opportunity of a true passive income through daily interest paid on your lending investment with them. OP, you may want to google them for more insight.

Bitcoin is very good source of passive Income, but not only the one.
You will be able to find hundreds of coins which let the owner earn some extra money. You should also look for the coin with masternodes like Solaris which signature campaign i take part. The disadvantage of the masternodes is a fact that you need plenty of its coin to join a party.
So try to safe some  now and then in the future buy things like that.

There are some altcoins with POS algorithm which can generate passive income for you. It works on proof-of-stake basis. It rewards you if you hold some amount of that coins in your wallet. The rewards are automatic and you will keep receiving free coins based on your holding amount as long as the algorithm permits. However, the POS coins are not very successful in the trading market. At least I don't know about any POS coin which has a great value probably because you can receive free coins. (I may be wrong on that, so please correct me and let us know about valuable POS coins if you know any). So the best way to generate a robust passive income is to hold bitcoins for a longer term like 3-5 years. It will not increase the amount of bitcoins you hold over time, but it will increase in value for sure. 

Buying & holding seems to be a great way to make capital gains, but that's totally different
than passive income.  Bank interest, stock dividends, and rental properties (sort of) give
you passive income, not holding bitcoin.  The key word is income.  Bitcoin doesn't
provide any of that.

I suppose lending would qualify, but that's very risky.

I think there are some coins that generate passive income over time thru investing if I'm not mistaken, but hey if you really know how to trade much better and for me just buy and hold bitcoin on your wallet it will surely increase on value and that is capital appreciation and i can consider that as passive income because you make money their over time. Bitcoin is very effective in a way that it will give you a good return, just buy and hold for good.

I know exactly what you are looking for mate and the answer to your question about a specific token that is designed to generate a passive income is the SPEC tokens. As we all know about the fact that the simplest way to make profit on crypto at the moment seems to be just buying and holding Bitcoin but obviously altcoins take part in that category too. Nowadays altcoins plays important role in the crypto market due to the increasing numbers of traders arround the world. Okay, let's go back to SPEC tokens which stands for SPEculative Tokenized TRading Exchange offers a brokerless trading platform that removes brokers from the equation and it is also built under Ethereum blockchain. SPECTRE.ai has two tokens namely, SPEC D which is the dividend and SPEC U for utility token. SPEC D holders get dividend every month and every year while SPEC U receive higher payouts and a wider variety of assets. For more information about the said tokens and it's ongoing project here's the link.

Bounty Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2199275.0

you can try to add altcoins to your list because some altcoins can also posibly increase overtime just like bitcoin but not stable as bitcoin although there are times that bitcoins value is also dropping because of volatility and also mining can do passive income but the  downside is  mining tends to be difficult these days and also mining hardwares and gpu/cpu are way expensive plus the bills of your electricity would cost much.

So far there is no cryptocurrencie that has been created that offers these characteristics that you ask for. But also i do not know why you dont like buying altcoins and hold them until they increase in value, since it is one of the best known and most profitable practices in any type of investment.
I try to buy cheap altcoins and sell them when they increase their value by at least 30%.

bitcoin can not give you passive income but you can double your money for a long term and i think its for the other coins too. and if you hold top ten coins listed in the coinmarketcap for a long time, then i think you can get passive income too. but i think the meaning of passive income is should like this, you can earn some money by monthly and if that is what your mean then i think you need to have real investment like house, building and else and you rented your building to other people.

You can put your bitcoin in bitfinex and then go to margin funding. You can let other traders borrow your funds for some interest depending on how much you will charge them and you can set up a daily or term basis. Minimum funding would be $50. I know someone who got involve with this and has been an early adopter of bitcoin and now he just margin fund some of his money and earn more than $1,000 a day. This is literally passive income cause you are not doing anything but earning. You can also try PoS (Proof of Stake). There are many coins out there that offer this. You just have to stake your coins and some has ridiculously high returns like B3 Coin having 20% per day return.

Yes you can generate passive income just by buying and holding, but the profit will not be that high (or depending on the amount that you're buying). You can also try trading or mining.

yes i think there are some coins that rewards the people who hold their coins for a long period of time.. this is what they it proof of stake (POS) .. some coins i know is ARK and PIVS .. will good roadmaps and projects is okay to hold that two coins with the value keep increasing and when you hold it you have a rewards or passive income just like dividends or profit sharing in stocks. POS is not the same with Proof of work (POW) .. coins that is POW is the coins that is mineable just like bitcoin, litecoin, digibyte and plenty more. im not very knowledgeable about this. feel free to share some insights that you know to me. thanks :)

There are coins designed specifically to generate ongoing passive income for holding them and so on. These type of tokens are often known as Proof of Stake(POS) Tokens. Some coins that I know are pesobit, though it will only generate users some extra when they staked it. Another one is waves but it is not profitable. Still, it gives passive income. As far as I remember, there is a token which is waves based giving dividends to holders just by holding it and it is shadowtoken. For more into about it, just search for it in this forum, I might be wrong though.

When I first learned about passive income, it was like my whole idea of how to make money changed instantly. I had never really considered that making money passively was even a possibility. Working a dayjob was how I always imagined life is supposed to be. The interesting thing is if you actually work an average dayjob but save money each paycheck and invest it, you are pretty much guaranteed to be a millionaire eventually with the power of compounded interest.

Passive income is the best way to have financial stability. Having passive income means you are earning money to cover for you expenses without working on a regular job. Your investment is the one working for you. Your money is working to have more money.

I think, no coin or cryptocurrency is designed to generate income passively. What were seeing in bitcoin is the product of many investors and believers that are investing and holding bitcoins. Alt coins could also be like bitcoin as long as it has investors like bitcoin.

Sometimes mining isn't stable because it's difficulty is increasing but still profit is there so yes this can generate a passive income. And while he is holding his bitcoins, he can mine and trade at the same time this is one of the best way to generate passive income but in trading he should be aware that it's like holding and just keep an eye to the coins that he's been holding and sell it whenever there's a gain already.

You can have tokens of the POS mechanism, which are generated with interest. The old POS coin is famous for its black currency, and the annual interest rate is about 8%. The latest POS coins you can invest a little onion deep coins, now still drop, and hold it also can have generated interest, interest mode called mining, you can go to their official forum to see how mining interest.

1- There are quite a few options on these, but of course the safest (if safe anyway) is holding BTC.
2- There are some proof of stack coins. The ones that will give you some percentage over time if you hold. I´m not really involved in these type of coins but i own some Komodo and they reward the stackers yearly.  
3- Other option is margin trading lending. To generate liquidity for margin trading some exchanges allow you to lend your coins. Its pretty safe but there is always a small risk of default or a risk of an exit scam on ANY exchange. Even the good established ones are not regulated, so be awaare of these.
4- Other way is buy coins that provid a dividend or profit sharing. The one i know better is TAAS. It is an Ethereum smart contract that will share trading profints quarterly. They already did it once in august and are promissing a new quarterly dividend in November. For these kind of tokens please read the whitepapers and roadmaps carefully and get envolved with the comunity so you reduce the risk of getting scammed.

Well actually there are some airdrop coins that are POS/POW like bitcoinstake, litecoinstake and bitcoincashstake. Like other tokens it generates small amount everyday and just wait for it to get mined. Try to look in their ANN thread to have more information, and I think bitcoincashstake airdrop is still omn going. While these coins are already in coinmarketcap so you can check its value.

I have not even heard it at all if there is definitely can be used as additional income later. I still often buy and hold various types of coins to make a profit and keep trying to follow various kinds of airdrop.

passive income i think cloud mining is solution
my friend generate up to 0.002/day, in cloud mining

it is too late to buy/hold/sell bitcoin to gain passive imcome Because price is high

if you have skills in Bbcode Design you can earn good here

I agree with you holding a good amount of money makes you earn in an instant another way is you can try to lending your coins like the bitconnect its a good passive income just buy,lend it and wait for your monthly profit I did not tried it personally right now but I can see some people earning a good amount of money.. you must search for it.

This is not a simple way to make money as it seems at first glance. You can really give someone a debt and receive regular interest but what if the person who took your money will die or just go bankrupt and not be able to repay you. No, I think that such way of earnings is unacceptable to me.

Yes not only for us but a lot of the people like us are now using the bitcoin and they are having the huge profit from the bitcoin. I love the bitcoin and you will be able to get the income from it. I love the worth of the bitcoin is the price so hold the bitcoin and then be the bitcoin user for the long time. But the bitcoin and increase the value of the bitcoin so you will be able to earn the steady income, the other source is joining the bitcoin signature campaign.

Mining gives a passive income but needs a huge investment which cannot be afforded by everyone. Profits in mining depends in the number of blocks found and the difficulty in mining. But the income could be estimated and it is a steady income.

As compared to trading and rest all activities, they don't have steady income because the profits and losses are constant there.
Even if you are ready for investment and need stable income than you can start investing your bitcoins in a good investment scheme on a daily interest basis and even you can have a good steady income there.

Lending in bitcoin is possible. Some of campaign managers here in the forum have lending business here too. But for bitcoin,is not a passive income because of its volatility in the crypto market. Just like altcoins, bitcoin can goes pump and dump and if you are new to bitcoin it is difficult for you to understand the movement of the market which may lead you for selling it when dump occurs because of FUD. There is no easy way to generate an income in the cryptocurrency but here in the forum, you still have to work for it.

Just take a look at Proof-of-stake coins =)
Or at Atlant ;) Atlant token holders get 7% of every building Atlant sells via their platform

the reason why the price of PoS coins go down is because they are practically doing an airdrop but more frequently than a normal airdrop.

people are known to dump what they get for free. there are a lot of different reasons for that too. some fear the price is going to go down because some others will dump before him, some want to just sell the free coins to have a "passive income" like OP so they sell,...
but for whatever reason the sells take place and they create a pressure on price consistently and in long term. which ends up reducing the price slowly but surely...

As you have already said,just buying and holding bitcoins in the wallet is the best way to generate passive income as bitcoin price is continuously growing.Other than that,you could join cloud mining firms.Genesis is found to be the most legit mining firm.They offer three schemes based on the hash rate.But you would have to wait for atleast six months to get back your invested money itself.Most of the other mining farms are found to be scam nowadays.

Scammer victimize those who are eager to earn more and more before you start mining you must have to investigate the authenticity of the farms and by doing so if there is no suspicious thing you noticed worked without worry and cyber crime is also examining these kind of activities and now chance to get into trap of scammers are low because miner are now mature enough to decide what is beneficial for them.

Generating passive income from crypto is possible, There are so many way to earn income from bitcoins.
Let's take example -  1. Like on Bitcointalk.org There are few campaign which is going on from 50 weeks for eg bitvest and  BitDice.

Holding BTC is not considerably passive income, but rather a form of investment. I see projects that works exactly the way you are referring to which pay your for a certain period, eliminating staking which requires you to even open your devices (expensive electricity). Revenue sharing projects is what you are looking for, place your tokens and get dividends paid, COSS, Binance, Trueflip (not sure) tokens grants you shares of their profit every period and its literally passive income as you don't need to do anything, as it scales with the amount you invest.... then actually it's like FD or simply bank's interest i'm afraid.

Op there is no specific coins the generate passive income but from your own effort in investing into any of the altcoins or bitcoin you should be able to get a sustainable passive income. Many people who have invested in bitcoin are getting their passive income day after day.

I think you mean proof of stake POS coins where the amount of coins you have is sort of a miner for you. it's a very interesting solution to the energy problems of POW mining. I personally would like to see all crypto adopt POS.

There are a few POS coins out there but like Mocacinno said you could earn a certain percentage but then the coin may drop 50% or so, really there is no certainty with the POS coins if you are looking for something long term.

The other way you could earn is by holding a few altcoins and see how they go.

Passive income is when your money is working for you and i'm glad to say that you can have passive income by just investing money in good coins like bitcoin and other altcoins and you must know the risk of investing money in cryptocurrencies and if you will keep it like the stock market that is keeping their share for long term then you can create a solid passive income.

Investing in any of the cypto currency can earn you those passive income provided the coin purchased by you move upwards in price and not vice versa else it can turn a gain into a loss. Also one should keep checking that these coins give you a good gains as a passive income else sell and buy another good coins.

Holding bitcoin is almost a proven way to generate passive income with minimum deligence.
According to my particular experience in crypto market, i do mostly invest in smart tokens, then i wait for it being listed on exchanges.
Hopefully reselling these tokens makes me good profits.

I usually buy a new altcoin listing on the market, but I have to know and good altcoin news ideas for the sword in the long run and the price increases, so I can get a profit from the increase.

I think buying new atlcoin is not good for long term because it’s more complicated to analyze and usually all the new coins will pump and dump right away. Instead invest on bitcoin that can generate a good passive income to you so you can be able to maximize the profit. Hold it for good, that is a good way to make passive income.

I agree with you, if bitcoin is the best long-term or short-term investment because bitcoin progress will continue to increase, some users and investors take advantage of the bitcoin feature as a lucrative passive income and I think investing in a new altcoin is certainly risky because there are doubts about the potential of the coin this will develop or disappear

There are still a lot of transactions made in a day and the fees for those transactions are paid to the miners so they continue to operate Bitcoin.

Holding will give us passive income and it's trading. You just buy bitcoin, hold for sometime and sell it when you are confident to have some decent profit. And for altcoins, if you are looking for some of it that will be giving you passivw income, go for ethereum and bitconnect these alts are good for someone that wants passive income.

theres a lot of ways to earn bitcoin, thru mining, invest or trade in a exchange and join in a signature campaigns. people all over the world is now curious how bitcoin works. they cannot ignore the fact that bitcoin is make millions of people to have opportunities to make millions of dollars or a passive income.. but as the billionaires said you cannot rely in 1 stream of income only. just an advice for us, dont rely on bitcoin only. theres a plenty option to have a passive income and we need to make multiple streams of income so that all our money will works for us not people works for money.. you can invest in real estates, invest or trade in stocks, create your own business and so on .. so we need to find also our passion :)

Often in passive income, you have to commit the time and energy up front. you need to build the machinery before the machine can work without your assistance. The income is lagged.

Passive income is also important for the financial security it can offer. Although you might take a risk when first establishing it, if it proves to be a steady flow, it offers great security because it’s not connected to your time. So, for example, if your spouse gets sick or if you can’t work, the idea is you’ll still be earning passive income to pay those never-ending bills.

so passive income, like all income, is still limited by your current worth. it takes money to make money people, and small money doesnt have the chops to attract bigger money to it.

Seem to me like you need to establish active streams first, just so you can fish in the passive ones ;)

I think there is no such thing token that generates a passive income for everyday, crypto doesnt work for you to earn a profit. You have to work for your profit. If that is what you are looking for is to generate a passive income daily, get a decent job and work well for it, thats the thing you have the passive profit daily, or have a small bussiness by your own.

Im all about folks actually working to earn value, instead of just gambling away the little they do have in hopes of more (this is the entire crypto scene). But I disagree; there are plenty of ways to passively earn value with cryptos that doesnt involve active work. The tokens you mentions are actually one of the best examples. There are a lot of dividend bearing tokens that will reward you ETH for simply holding them (they are securities, back from before the SEC started forcing everyone to use utility tokens to comply.

You can also use someones investbox (although I dont trust those shits one bit, esp Yobit as they seem to constantly need to raise money to offer the service ;)

Just be smart.

Yes there are some pos coin that will give you passive income from staking rewards. All you have to do is to open your wallet and let it stake, the other passive income is from masternode. You buy certain amount of coins, make a masternode and let it generate passive income. There are websites where you can see masternodes price and roi.

You have to work for your profit. If that is what you are looking for is to generate a passive income daily, get a decent job and work well for it, thats the thing you have the passive profit daily, or have a small bussiness by your own And it takes money to make money people, and small money doesnt have the chops to attract bigger money to it.

POS coins (proof of stake) are the only ones that I'm aware of, POStoken are currently doing an airdrop so you could get your hands on some for free.

Being investor will made a passive income, buy now and sell after 4 years later, PROFIT ! ( only if bitcoin still exist )
Or you can give your ref link to your friend or other people through any local forum. You can explain about bitcoin and how to earn with free in order to attract people to sign up on your ref link, PROFIT everyday !

True, compared to all digital currency, bitcoin is the strongest and safest currency. It brings huge profits in a short amount of time. This is what we all want.

Which means passive income would really be nearly impossible to happen and dont really have an assurance even we can do see altcoins that use POS. 10% in one year isnt really worth at all but yet much better since you dont have nothing to do.Generating passive income would only be possible on some investments either gambling site bankroll investments. Lending business and other real world kind of business which would really result on leveraging which is great but for now on pointing out on altcoin then I cant really recommend anything at all.

Bitcoin is the best passive income that can help in time of need and those who are investing in it a minimum portion of their salary they will enjoy a worry less life in future and bitcoin Is the best investment that helps to manage expenses and investing small amount will generate huge revenue one day and as coming future is all about bitcoin and its joyful to receive regular currency in bitcoin.

I think we do not have to wait for passive income sources. We can make an active income by our ability, just hard work. Waiting for passive income is a boring job.

Freebitco is giving away passive interest on the amount of bitcoins you are holding on their site. Though small percentage but compounded interest daily added to your account is not bad either. All you have to do is not to gamble and keep on holding it on their site. It is one of the most trusted site since 2014 or so so I recommend you to check it out.

Set up some Masternodes (many options but my cheap plug:  Solaris XLR  and ZEncash ZEN).
Vote for ARK delegates

for us to have passive income, right now, we must build up our wealth first, and then do invest, just like what we are doing now, bitcoin is giving us a positive capital gain and, for those who have had invested on bitcoin for years now, are already feeling the the fruit of the investments, given that bitcoin's value has rose over the years and is always making record breaking breaches, and just within this years, it broke a lot a targets, and will still continue its bull run. investing in bitcoin and seeing the capital gains, is already a passive income, trading bitcoins is also having passive income,  the definition of passive income, is that you are still earning even though you are not working, and in bitcoin, even though we sleep, bitcoin is still working, which we can say n advantage compared to the traditional stock market, since they have an opening time and closing time, however for bitcoin, the moment the value started to rise, there has no closed hours, the earning capacity is continues, i think what we should do is that we must first earn a lot of bitcoins as much as we can and then, try relax from time to time and in the moment, we would like to retire, with the capital gains that the bitcoin you have is gaining you are already living on interest, which is one of the promising traits of having a passive income.

Maybe by doing a massive campaign about the coins that will be created later. So enthusiasts will be interested to try it first after starting there is a significant coin movement certainly will not close the possibility that the coin can compete with various other types.

Masternodes and Proof of stake will be your best buddies for passive income, you have to buy alts which have masternode or proof of stake algorithms and they will generate passive income from staking rewards. You can check mnrank.com or masternodes.pro to see the status and which one you'll buy later.

Right! It is either you work and get paid in bitcoin (which in itself is a passive income), and buy some altcoins from there hoping the value will increase later in the future just like bitcoin.
Buying and holding is not a passive way of making money as you are just hodling for a hope to have more value in future.

Passive income is what you earn for doing some work online and getting paid. And there are so many ways to do that from signature campaigns, bounty campaigns etc.

You can also create cryptocurrency related websites.

https://codecanyon.net/item/bitcoin-faucet-list/20435722 for example, will earn you passive cryptocurrency.

You can invest your money with a few potential coin. Maybe you want to invest long, the best choice is still Bitcoin, then some altcoin like: Eth, Ltc, Waves, Ark, ....
You can buy altcoin now, but Bitcoin need wait for a time, now its price is too high.

you have make a good recommendation as the prove of stake make things easier to generate passive income. Most times also you can buy a good bots that can generate passive income for you by buying and selling some coins for you. There are also some tokens you can buy now and in few years from now you can generate passive income. We also should try and make a software that can generate passive income for us.

There are some websites like freebitco.in or crypto-games.net that gives you a certain percentage daily or weekly (very low though) and can be considered as something that can give you some good stuff if you have much of bitcoin anyway.

However, even though some of these sites have been around for long, it is still a risky way to invest, but if you trust them, you can leave your funds in your wallet there and let it be increasing, possibly, that increase might amount to something pretty huge in future. If you have skills you can offer, that is just the best way to earn something good.

Well,  I think affiliate marketing is a good example of a passive income where you put some efforts and you get the returns after some period. However, passive income is not a permanent income, you have to keep putting efforts and you get returns for the work that you did earlier. Generating a passive income need patience in my opinion and you have to keep trying in multiple ways to find the best possible combination that brings most out of your efforts.

Hold bitcoin, the rate of return is much better compared to bank interest or gold. It's easily one of the easiest way to make money. Don't spend a lot on altcoins unless you are ready to face ups and downs, bitcoin's value has increased and has become better than Gold too.

altcoins price and supply reduced when compare with the bitcoin dude.
If you hold the bitcoin or invest the bitcoin related platform means you will get the easy returns with in some months. This is happening due to the price volatiliy of the bitcoin. If you invest in bitcoin trading you will be able to make the money daily according to price changing time only.

Just hold bitcoin if you want to be rich one day but if you want to focus with other alt coins too try to look for those alt coins that has a big market cap or try to do your own background checking for each alt coin because most of them has future. But there are some alt coins that their devs are giving up that affects it so stick with alt coins that has better road map and white paper that's for reality.

Mining cryptocurrency is also a passive income IMO.
The returns vary but depending on your power cost you should be able to ROI in 1-2 years.
It's a long term investment but a good one if you ask me.
I recently bought a mining rig with 18 Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB.
Im now mining zencash and i mine about 1 zencash each day.

If you want to have a passive income then you should invest in real estate because if you will have a lot of properties like a multi-family home then you can have a rental business where you will rent your properties to other people and it will give you money every month and you can enjoy the life because you are not the one who is paying to the expenses but your money that is working for you.

I think there are some cryptocurrencies created for passive income, you should try to invest in a real estate because it's one of the best way to earn a passive income. If you can invest a lot of bitcoin, you can earn a lot of passive income if you're going to hold it for a long time.

But it is better to invest in something that gives you the opportunity to earn a term and receive its yield from time to time rather than invest money and just wait for the market to grow.

But you can always choose solid altcoins that have even potential for their price to raise. That way not only you get extra free coins for having them, but they all grow in value. I think for now Lisk would be such candidate, as they look solid enough. And when ethereum decides to switch into PoS, I guess they will be the leading coin to hold and earn passive income so it may also be a good idea to acquire them till they are still cheap.

If ETH would really switch into POS then this would really be a huge step and yes it can really be a good option to have passive income and so as on other altcoins too but there would really be only few candidate which can able to give us on that kind of opportunity. Pointing out on those coins would really be somehow hard since we cant really be sure if they are truly capable or not specially on longer runs.

If that is what you are looking there are coins with those characteristics the most obvious ones are casino coins, not long ago you could invest in the bankroll of the casino and you got some of the profits in return, but now as is the case with BitDcice you can buy their token, and you are going to receive a portion of the earnings depending on the amount of tokens you have.

Now there is an easy way to generating money in a fast time, the presence of bitcoin makes it all very easy because we can make money without limit so I suggest to immediately invest bitcoin.

Indeed. This idea of passive income is so interesting and wonderful because it is accessible and convenient at the same time. It's an effortless transaction once you are paid. Not only that,but also There are many things to explore with bitcoin as digitized money. Technology has been a wide range of putting a good start for every people who are into bitcoin. Through internet we can access money and that is because bitcoin is there.

Strange how you're looking for a Cryptocurrency way to acquire passive income. I don't think (I'm not sure at all) there is any monetary based cryptocurrency out there that will GUARANTEE positive returns, you're better off doing LYFT or UBER.

Who knows about these coins which are mention above masternode, lol I listen about it now that this is also a crypto currency because bitcoin has so much influence on the minds of investor that it will never let anyone to think about any other coin and that’s true whatever masternode is but it is not generating as high as compare to bitcoin and there are few talking about it but bitcoin is discussed all over the world.

Let me define first what is Passive income in my own understanding.  Passive income is a generating income even if you are not working on it day by day. Like for example holding gold and holding bitcoin. As time goes by you can earn profit if the price is high. So therefore, you can choose any coin and hold it as long as there is a great chance that it will goes up in the future.

In bitcoin you have both the ways of investment I mean short term as well as long term investment and the long term investment is for generation of passive income in which you will hold some bitcoin and wait for some time for which stable financial position is usually required.

If you're talking AltCoins, how come no one has mentioned NEO?

For holding NEO, you generate GAS - GAS is the coin that is used to pay for transaction power on the NEO network.

Here's a calculator to figure out how much NEO you need to generate how much GAS: https://neotogas.com/

I can actually say that bitcoin is now my greatest source of passive income though i work hard for this I still consider this as my passive income since I have no fund when I started here. Bitcoin really offers opportunity for everyone who wants to earn money, bitcoin is the future and investing on this will surely make you rich in the future.

There is one small ICO that took place a couple months ago for Digital Developers Fund (DDF) - digitaldevelopersfund.com that buys and sells domain names and other intellectual property assets. They dividend out a portion of the profits to their coin holders per their website, which acts as passive income. Not sure how widely they trade or what type of liquidity they have - but it may be worth looking into. Note I do not own nor work for DDF.

I think you should look up on bitconnect; the minimum investment amount is 100$ and returns after a year (?) . It has a bad rep before as a HYIP but the price skyrocketed then and it is included on the top 10 coins in the market so I think its worth the time to research.

I know two 'methods' for passive income in crypto world:

1. Investing in casino bankrolls

2. Buying and holding POS currencies. There are few good around but the real deal will become in few month when ETH switch to POS.

I'm glad because the bitcoin makes us able to generate extra income even many people who make bitcoin as the main income. I hope bitcoin can be legalized so it can be more useful.

Well from one side you are having a passive income because your USD amount is going up every year but on tje other side you should still sell some of your btc (and you are not having any passive btc income). Mining could be the only type of such income but you still have to serve the equipment, make different investments and have some technical knowledge.

As mentioned, I think mining is a great way to earn some passive income with crypto. Also, Gladius will have the option upon launch to rent your bandwidth out to earn Gladius Tokens, so there's that source of passive income to look forward to.

Lots of ignorant people here in the forum.

I bought 3000 diamond coins (DMD) three years ago, $0.20 per dmd coin back then. Now it's worth over $7 per coin. DMD is a POS alt, pays about 25% annually. I'm making about $800 a month, passive income, just for holding my diamond coins in my wallet. I did well. How about you???

altcoin suitable for passive income you can buy altcoin like XLM or XRP they have a very large supply and very good developers.

You can invest in bitcoin for passive income. But better invest for a long time.
If you have a more money saving in bank, you can try invest bitcoin for your future.

You are right holding bitcoin is the easiest way for generating passive income but i dont think there will be other alt coin that can do that.
At the current rate of other coin is going on the market you may seem to profit but just a few dollars unlike just being focus on bitcoin.

Now I got what the op is trying to know– he wants to know whether there is any coin that keeps on rising in price without falling (a steady increase in price) there is none like that. And that’s not a good way for a coin.

There are no such coins, and there will be no. Here the mechanics is simple. You need to do something to get the coin gaining a price, just so passively it will not yield an income. It can be sold to receive profit and buy again, but as interest in a bank, this will not happen. Although the idea of interest in the bank is interesting. The first bank is crypto currency! :D

I don't understand if someone is hodling the Bitcoin then how is a passive income generating from it. Passive income is something person gets on monthly, weekly basis without working actively for it. If you are hodling bitcoin for long then it is called as investment which will give you returns when you decide to sell them. Till that selling time, those bitcoins are not going to earn a penny for you. Their price or valuation will increase over the period of time. However increase of that price is not a passive income.  that In order to generate some income person need to cash out the profit without touching the base amount. Passive income is Like to put a house on rent to someone is passive income for landlord. Now compare the renting a house to holding bicoin, you are getting monthly rent on regular basis. However you are not getting any regular income from the bitcoin. Only benefit with hodling bitcoin is that in the long run the return will be huge.

I don't think most people who are holding bitcoin are in regular jobs. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are big business. You can actually have a life time asset with this new found business that is spreading rapidly across the globe only that, one has to be meticulous not to be scammed or make a transfer to a wrong wallet.



I do believe that many coins have the potential of being held and to give profit in future if one can wait. For instance, sic is doing well and has tripled in less than two weeks.

Bitcoin is good, and by just funding your wallet it can be an investment. But if you’re going to rely on waiting for increase before you make some earnings, then it’s a waste of time. This doesn’t work all the time, it will only happen occasionally, so you have to wait if that’s what you want to be doing. I will prefer working and gaining what you need through other means like signature campaign.

To have passive income you must prepare into bitcoin in two strategy option of buying and holding because it was surely it can generate passive income on that. Just making sure you have extra effort of patient and exact time on monitoring the price value of bitcoin to have a perfect time in generating income.

Proof of stake is one of the easiest ways to make some passive income but you need to have a lot of money already invested in the coin and finally investing in casino bankrolls are a great idea but at the same time more and more casinos are choosing to create their own coins.

Apart from even holding for a long time, there are so many things one can do to earn passively. Definitely, you can save and watch it grow but how about watching even the amount of the bitcoin you have grow. I simply like the sound of that more anyway, so it is best you look for skills you can offer on the forum or on freelance sites and get to work. they pay, you do not have to use the whole day and once you complete your gis, you get paid.

It looks like so from a simple perspective, but what's this 'income' worth when it means that there are constantly more and more coins getting pumped into circulation? In easy terms, you gain a certain percentage annually, but you also have to accept that in the long term, the exchange rate is only going down as result of that. I always avoid coins with basically an infinite number of supply, because it can never end well in terms of holding long term value. But then again, since most people here only care about short term investments, the afore mentioned won't be that much of a problem I guess.

I thought I was the only one reading all those. Passive is more like something that you get more often and holding bitcoin is more like an investment for the long time. Generating passive income is not something that can be achieved with holding bitcoin. unless most people do not really understand what passive and most especially income means.

Income is like salary, pay or earnings from a particular thing you do and it is something that requires some work on your part. For example, trading, writing articles, managing campaigns, joining signature campaigns, handling a project etc are some of the things that are considered as passive income generators. Holding from an investment is totally a different ball game.

ASIC mining for BTC, LTC, or DASH
GPU mining for many alt coins.

Running incentive full service node.
DASH, and NEM.
soon for Zcoin (XZC) and SYS.

You can also deal with bitcoin mining or other cryptocurrencies, but for mining you will certainly have to spend a lot of money.  And besides bitcoin you also need monitoring stable cryptocurrencies such as etherium, litecoin, ripple, monero or other cryptocurrencies, at the moment, of course, there is nothing better than bitcoin.

I agree with this view, I invest in altcoin and daily analysis to increase my BTC.

I believe that if you invest in Bitcoin or any other large amount of Altcoin that can help you make money without doing anything else, let's say it is passive income. However, everything has the downside of it, maybe you will lose money when investing or not profitable in the long run. So I do not encourage this to happen frequently, you still need a stable job

In my opinion, investment is not a passive income. Auto income is built on solid systems and automatically generates profits. It requires the preparation of the system, such as a high-value, long-term famous book.

Passive income can be used for retirement or for any other purpose if you can collect them smartly. I mainly avoid from using hype projects which promise daily or weekly gains after some time. Better make your own research and decide by yourself.

If you have extra bitcoins try to use POS will make high price (if you have Big amount of Bitcoins)

other wise get trust and make your own exchange site

Yes it is of course, but the thing is your profit will be less than investing in another ICO or surfing with Bitcoin's price. Buy it at low price and sell at high price. So with the same capital but you will earn more if you're doing that.

For me, I always pursue a project that serves the community, I build it, develop it so that when strong enough it serves me. I have a plan and a strategy to do it, it's great to be doing things that I'm passionate about with my own decisions.

Mining is not worth for try at the moment , IMO
I'm usually earn passive income from my speech on local forum since I've been trust as a speaker for bitcoin so yeah.. there is a lot way to earn bitcoin without spending too much expense

Theoretically, the POS interest you receive should make up for the inflationary loss of the value due to an increasing number of coins. Whether it's POS or POW, inflationary increases in the number of coins should decrease the value of the coin over time, UNLESS demand for the coins rises faster than the inflation. But viewing the PoS interest as free money doesn't make economic sense. Over long periods of time, it the total value of your holdings should be constant, even if you had more coins than before as the coins are worth less due to inflation.

   Jaysabi your comment is very good, that is something that holds me back from investing in some POS alt-coins. Some
people have nice income from POS alt-coins. I know that decision is on us but I would like to hear do you recommend
any POS alt-coin, or you think that its not worth the time and money? I could not understand from your comment
what do you recommend others to do.
   I am reading about POS/POW alt-coins for some time and they looks like good investment and with good amount
this POS/POW alt-coins can generate nice monthly income. It is hard to choose right one!

Wow, I was not expecting this post to take off this hard. Thanks for all the replies guys, has been enlightening.

Holding your bitcoins doesn't give you a passive income and it doesn't make your money to multiply. Working your money beyond holding just like trading might give you more profit.
And talking about passive coins, it can be hardly to find since all of this are very vulnerable for changes anytime. Only we have to do is to give trust and be positive to generate profit from of what coin we have now.

The only problem is that if you have one bitcoin it does not matter if the price goes up or down you still have one bitcoin nothing has changed so if you want to increase the amount of bitcoin you have, you will have no other option but to trade or to lend your bitcoin.

there really is no guarantee that the coin you have invested gives you a passive income,
and if it gives you the advantage of luck one of the big ones.....

Buying Bitcoin and hold for a while till its value appreciate before you sell is really a good way of generating passive income for yourself. And You can equally invest some altcoins and be making profit at the end of the day, especially when Bitcoin value is decreasing some altcoins will be increasing. So Op, try and research well to know more about the altcoins that will give you what exactly you are looking for in your investment pursuits.

There are 2 very good coins that have DPoS (delegated proof of service). What this means is that you keep your coins in your wallet and you vote for a delegate, and in turn they share a fixed % of what they forge (kinda like mining) with you. The coins are Ark and Lisk, with Ark paying out roughly 10%/year and Lisk a little bit less.

If you bought a Bitcoin for $6000 and sold it for $7000, consider $1000 a passive income... So I think holding worth much more than AltCoins passive income. We know the Crypto-Currency that get more value along the time is Bitcoin, then it's the best option to hold, invest and make deals (maybe one or another currency are good too, but not like Bitcoin).

I would think twice before holding my money in AltCoins just to receive passive income from this POS feature as it's very probable the AltCoin's price will stay stable, increase only a bit or drop hard while BTC is skyrocketing...

Proof of Stake would be the way to make completely passive income off of a cryptocurrency. Check out the mechanics behind any PoS coin. I've learned personally that you need a pretty hefty amount of coins to really produce anything significant from them though. But it is passive regardless. You'de be better off learning about trading to make money with crypto. Obviously, that is not passive though. Personally it's a big goal of mine to establish a few passive sources of income even outside of crypto. Keep the money flowing!

Yes, that’s true. Although holding is a good investment, it won’t generate passive income. Holding coins or one bitcoin won’t give you passive income but it would increase in value in the future. There’s a difference. The coin itself won’t multiply or increase. I guess another way for you to have some passive income would be to invest in other projects, because there you will get paid even without doing anything - thus it is passive.

Yes, it’s true. Just holding your coins would not generate any passive income. Although that holding coins or one bitcoin would increase in value in the future, it is different from generating passive income because it would not multiply or increase the coin itself. There are other ways of generating passive income such as perhaps investing in a project - you would then be given some income even without doing anything - thus that is passive income. You could do this with other coins as well, just choose or invest wisely.

For passive income, investing in bitcoin is the best and one of the easiest way. According to my point of view investing in bitcoin is hundred times better than keeping your money in bank because by investing in bitcoin, it will give you a very fine profit over time.

On the other hand if you are keeping your money in bank so than you have to pay taxes and pay bank charges, which means it is reducing your money by some means.

One of the good ways to generate a passive income is to pledge skills and time by giving feedback to the projects and get rewarded.

Crowdholding has started giving rewards in its tokens on its platform by creating its eco-system. product+custmer, direct dialog. You as a platform user give feedbacks to a project regarding their products and get rewarded with a token. you can check the tasks here (https://www.crowdholding.com/newsfeed)

Mining is always worth a try but only if you are able to meet three requisites, first you need to have a significant amount of money so you can buy the latest miners, second you need to have access to cheap electricity in your country, and finally you need to join a mining pool.

Yes these are coins that mine through either staking or through a masternode. The best coins generally give upwards of 10%+ interest in a year and this can make some good money on the side especially if the coin rises in

value as well!

Though it won't have any assurance for that but I'll give trust to my coins that it may give me something in return after all. Even though how potential is your coin, but if you don't work for it then there is nothing will happen.

Buying and holding potentially profitable coins is a great idea but be sure you have monitoring it's flow in the market place and you can sell it when it's price will go high.

For Generating passive income, I would recommend to Buy Trading bot like Gunbot and setup on VPS
for 24/7 Crypto Trading..

GunBot available at https://tradingbotpro.com (https://tradingbotpro.com)

and a very difficult moment in this matter is the choice of a project whose coin will have a trading potential. because if it's bad to take this issue, you will have to control only the real price drop and the collapse of investment.

Yes you can manage a loss drop of a coin if you have enough trading skills to regain the loss drop of your coin. It is like controling the coins when will it rise and go down you need to be patient  as long as the rate is down and wait for the right time and realize the potential of the trading potential of it.

I don't think that there's really a coin meant to do that because the value of the coins is determined by their market caps and the higher the investors and holders number is, the higher the coin's value gets . So people who owned bitcoin around 2012 have made 600% gains because the market cap increased , not because the coin is designed to increase it's value , that's nonsense .

Yes, that is correct, however the profits are not usually very abundant using this method. For example, one of the altcoins that became very popular recently due to the generosity of its bounties is DeepOnion, but through staking it is only generating a poor 5% annual profit. I've heard that altcom is offering a lot more, but I still can not corroborate it.

I'm thinking that too, people who are staking their coins, burden the risk of fluctuation seeing that many of these altcoins often fluctuate so hard within a years, if staking only generate such small amount of money
it's kinda waste of time, just go trading and we can earn more than this staking coin option.

Passive income is a process of having an income without such work. This includes investments in bitcoins, ethereum, altcoins, real estate, mutual funds, bonds, etc. Mining, in my opinion is included because you just buy a hard drive and let it mine for you. Generating passive income means that you must invest in any of this either 1 or more.

All POS (proof of stake) coins will reward holders of their coins with more coins, this in theory is passive income as long as the coins retain their value over time.

Yes, you right. If we want to maximalize passive income we must keep focus on growing asset. Bitcoin is good for begining, but if I have  big capital, I prefer like to do more by create or buy home, store or even  real estate.  I will rent those asset.

AH! Bite me on that statement. There is coin which is specifically designed like that because its not possible to do so. Whatever we get after investing our money into some projects is nothing but the revenue generated from the product development or services for instance. We are abided with the ICO investments or the coin investment alone where we act as shareholder and in same manner as real life entity would do they distribute the profits to us.


For coin to just put that ind of role on its shoulder seems to be impossible because how they will generate the profits and what they will share with us? I guess thats the first thing which will need to be cleared. :-)

Maybe for you to generate passive income you can lend your coin to others with interest in return,
but there is risk on this one cause they might not give it back to you so asking for a collateral is a good assurance.

HODL BTC long term will probably good if the price will go to the moon.

If you really want passive income, try TAAS. Its an ERC token which the team is going to distribute dividend every quarter. The more you have thousands of these you will probably receive a lot of ETH which could be your passive income. They have distributed dividends already and the team is quite good with what they do.

This is a good way to earn passively

I think we all want that but it is not easy, because in order to produce passive income in fiat you need a lot of money as well or a lot of talent, so I suppose generating passive income is one of those things that is going to keep eluding us for some time or at least until bitcoin skyrockets and we can use our new found wealth to generate the passive income we are looking for.

Yeah, there are many ways to earn money through bitcoin without spending your savings, and the easiest way to earn money is this signature campaign which is totally free and without any investment you can join and after some time can make money by positing your comments in this section and other ways of earning in this forum. Mining is not easy and also money consuming.

Passive income would be something which can get us money sufficient to fulfil our needs and something is leftover after that and we can save that one in our deposits. This can be achieved with some hard and smart work in the crypto land for sure. There are so many ways around the forum itself, for example you can do the signature campaigns and wooly your skill sets at different ICO project to get paid. That is also great way to start as passive income. I am happy with the forum earnings and I see it as my passive income source.

There are many more ways like trading, gambling and playing games !! But one must know where they can take the risks and which ways is more suitable for them so that they can actually generate the revenue and not get in loss all the time.

Yeah I'm full positive about mining because it is more or less passive income generator only. There are so many things around with which we can start our passive income but I see the mining as fluent passive income because you don't have to do much about it but just set the things up and let it run on its own and credit your accounts many times in a day! I mean who would not want that kind of income to generate. But the big things come at a cost and here the initial set up cost is a lot and now day we need bigger and stronger miners so I guess that problem must be overcome first to start with the things. Anyway good way to add up in passive income and always better to keep it solid one. 

The passive income with bitcoin is very good and it is very simple. in fact bitcoin make it very easy that any body can generate a passive income with bitcoin. you to just buy some bitcoin and make a sense of the market that when the value is falling and when the value is rising and you have to make the best prediction also. buy bitcoin when the value is down and use them when the value is high but you have to make sense a best one.

The problem with signature campaigns is that you cannot earn much with them, you can earn some spare money but in no way that is  enough to make a living, besides that is not passive income since you need to work for it while mining can become passive income since you only need to turn on your miners and make money.

What you are talking about fits in the category of trading, and for that reason can't be seen as passive income. Trading in every shape or form requires action from your side, while passive income means that you earn money or coins while doing absolutely nothing. Staking your POS coins can be seen as passive income. Lending can be seen as passive income. Mining to a certain extent can be seen as passive income. Bitcoin itself doesn't allow you to generate passive income by default. Even if you buy at a certain level, and the price increases with 100%, you still haven't gained anything -- gains occur when you sell or spend your coins.

For you to lessen the risk just buy bitcoin and hold it, personally this is my way of earning passive income because we all know the price of bitcoin will continue to rise. Though a lot of passive income that you can invest with but I think cryptocurrency offer higher return.

That's right just focus on bitcoin first because right noe bitcoin price is going up and up these past few days and holding it can generate you big income by next year. Although holding alt coins and tokens can give you much money too but there's a risk on it, you need more knowledge in advancing to these levels because in a matter of seconds you can lose everything. So if you want  to know something just keep on reading before you try it and a lot of luck for you to succeed.

First of all congratulations and welcome in bitcoin family.  Well what you doing is perfect.  I don't think you should try some other things.. As too many things may spoil your dish.  I will suggest that you keep buying and holding them and sell them intervally when you find a great deal of your bitcoins. Bitcoins is a worldwide crypto currency that fluctuates a lot. Bitcoin is continously growing up and it's price are skyrocketting so you never know when it make you this rich that you never have to think about your passive income.

holding a cryptocurrency that has the potential to grow is an excellent source of passive income.. you need to know this business well and work...then everything will turn out

This is incorrect passive money is money you get by doing nothing, that is it, it does not need to be enough to fulfill your needs, if you get a dollar a month for doing nothing then that is passive income even if it is obvious that a dollar is not going to be enough to pay for your bills.

Technically bitcoin could always be a form of asset in a part of giving a passive income for us. Yet, it would need our support for it to become a passive form of income of today. Even if its true that simply holding bitcoin could give as an income it is much better if we would facilitate on a part of transactions and investment that could actually increased our profit and chance to earn.

yes there is, incase you didnt heard of proof of stake coins or pos coins. those coins can actually give you a passive income or interest by just holding that specific pos coins, their method is called staking just in like in a bounty campaigns, you also recieve a stakes for holding them and it doesnt matter how big or small the market cap is because they dont depend on that. you can still earn a passive income no matter what happen or the outcome of the market cap or the total supply of the coins.

But it initially depends on individual  management. Because all forms of investment has the capability to grow and to be successful. So if you are aiming to earn more you will also need to do your best to find different ways for you to earn and to have a better profit. Just simply take a part for your goals for to earn and to have a better way of investments and trading. Passive income means a lot on time because time is a vital part for investments and earning.

The profitability of POS is usually small. Much more interesting coins with master nodes: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1572363.260
masternodes.online
masternodes.pro

I stumbled onto ARK a few months back and have been “delegated proof of staking” with it since day one.
The beauty of delegated proof of stake is that it works 24/7, and requires virtually no effort on your part. Once you setup your account and cast your vote, your ARK works for you. You’ll get a payout every so often through the person you voted for, as a reward for voting for them.

Real estate has long been the source of passive income for ages. Investors and owners have opted to rent out homes, apartments, condos and office space to generate a healthy monthly revenue. Clearly, real estate is a great source for generating some automatic income, but it also requires a sizable upfront investment

At present buy and hold tactics can be very dangerous. Many newcomers bought bitcoin at prices above $ 10,000.
Imagine how they are worry now when bitcoin is trading below $10,000.

I have a friend who also joins here, and he is very strict when it comes the allocation of his money and bitcoin, every week that he is earning from campaign and trading he is putting the 10% to his wife's address that they are not using it no matter what happens they are keeping it for their future and then out of the 90% withdrawn, they are using the 50% an additional to their expenses and 40% savings.

If you are looking for a passive income generator I think mining is what you are looking for. But if you think about it, holding a bitcoin can generate you a passive income since you will gain more profits from it.

for sure theres no coins as having passive income,because it theres even a single one maybe the volumes of buyer wont be supplied by the dev for all of the holders will hold that said one..though only bank can offer that legally but the only problem is the interest are too small which not even enough to buy a cup of rice a day..so dont engaged in finding that kind of coin.but wt you do is enter trading or just hold bitcoin for sure income

Try investing in the legit Lending cryptocurrency, you could get a foreseeable passive income, and don't forget buying some big cryptocurrency and investing it on the gambling site bankroll could be one of the ways to generate passive income, and don't forget over time you will get a lot of profit from the increasing ammount of price.

Well you can try buying a coin that has a good future, but it's will be risky if you don't check it every day or at least once every few days. You can also try POS coins and if you don't want to stake them in your wallet you can look for some pools.

Just take a look on my signature. ARBIDEX - Is being launched a platform that allows you to deposit BTC and receive arbitrage revenue. The planned average daily income is about 0.2% - it is about 6% per month, so around 73% annually ;) It looks very nice indeed :)

Agree, with bitcoin holding then we make money for sure, the first thing we should do is be patient and not easily panic when the price drop, keep at least 3 years then we will get profit thousands of percent.

 :) :)I do not really think that there is any change in some coins generating passive income its not the same as in a bank that generates revenue if you hold your money on the bank maybe a bank of deep onion coins .those was plenty of airdrops coins .joke a side ! I have never seen anything like that this way you can create passive income how its only a limited number of altcoins one uses POS.if you pick an altcoins yo stake and you gain 10% a year but at the same time the altcoin price goes down by 50% you end up with lots of altcoins but with a decrease I'm the sacyual value .

holding many coin could be another solution to generating passive income and I think, for now, I can do this with some of my coins and fortunately, I have two coins with big amount in my balance and I buy the coin when the price is at the low price and now, I still make a lot of money from that coin. but I don't want to sell all the coin and I still waiting for the highest price because I am sure that this coin will explode later.

well, in 2017 it would be the right answer.
however, in 2018, we never know the future bitcoin price and we never know what should be we going to do now.

 :'( :'( :'(

Maybe if you pick the right coin it will be a good passive income after you hold it for some time. leave it for another activity then you will get the profit. but it seems passive income of this type can only be done once? after you sell it then you should start doing the analysis again to look for potential coins for passive income?

Well their is alot of ways in order for you gain and make profit. If you are willing to take risk then trading is the best  way. But if you want to gain without taking too much risk then you may join mining and faucets job. You may also join airdrop and bounty campaign and most likely the profitable one.

You may look into some Bitcoin copycats like Bitcore. The team behind this coin are paying like 5% every week on any wallet with a balance of at least 1 BTX registered for the airdrop, which gives you roughly about 20% of passive income monthly (not compounded). Whether it is worth buying and holding remains to be seen though. If there is any chance that it gets accepted on any major exchange like Bittrex or Kraken in the near future (which it is not so far if I'm not mistaken), that may turn out a good investment after all.

I do not know of any token that would be designed especially for that reason.
However, I think that the upcoming ETFs would be the closest thing to that.
They usually include a bunch of crypto currencies and all you have to do is hold them.

If you want to earn passive income, then try to invest your money in mining. The only problem that you need to consider is the capital, you need big capital inorder to start mining cryptocurrencies.

If you are looking for a steady passive income and looking into five to ten years span of time.i suggest invest in ethereum. As we all know,ETH had been there for a long time and as we see it, the value is steady, though there comes a time where it may decline a bit, but it recovers double and comes to a steady rise again.

if youre going an investment like bitcoin, then take a look on ETH/XRP , it's the rival of bitcoin currently

So far, I probably would not offer a coin of any kind, but how to make passive income from cryptocurrency. "Mining". This can generate a definite income by simply spending capital to buy a one-time mining tool, and income will continue to be accepted until the tools we use are damaged. You do not have to do much because the work is a tool.

holding bitcoin also good passive income, you just need to be patient for a few days or a few weeks later you can sell it and enjoy the results. but in that way you will not get big passive income, why do not you try to grow your bitcoin with passive income? such as investing in mining, of course your bitcoin will continue to grow

Not in my knowledge, like if there are already existing maybe there are a lot of pioneering user of bitcoin already use that.

Maybe you can invest in purchasing PC's for mining that e know you'll earn you just have to invest on a good equipment.

That's a good way to be on plus. But you still need good amounts of money if you want to make good profits. Specially when we talk about the high volatile crypto market.

The only passive income one can generate from a purchasing coin
is when you join in browser-based mining programme where you share
from the mining pool globally.Each participant of this get a share of the
global revenue generated via mining process.This passive income crypto
return is unique and never for all crypto currencies .It is only for selected few
administrators of certain coins who wish to engage in mining.

Eehm…. Well, when you’re getting into Bitcoin, the first thing that comes to your mind is the idea of buying and holding till you achieve profit. But there are lots of ways you can make passive income from Bitcoin and that includes trading, working and investing. If you click in the market section and check our Services, you’re likely to find a good job in the forum that will earn you a good amount of money.

If you can have a mine then there will be continuos supply of btcs

The only investment that you can sure to earn passive income is mining. If you have big capital then try to make investment with mining. Most of the jobs here in the cryptocurrency world are risky and the most suitable investment for you is mining cryptocurrencies.

Buying and holding is the same thing as investment which has its own risk or uncertainty that comes with it. If really want a passive income through crypto currency what you need do is to participate in signature campaign and earn week payment in addition to your current full time job if you have any at all.

By buying bitcoin then we will get passive income, this is because bitcoin value continues to rise from time to time, especially if we keep for a long time so having bitcoin is the most profitable for now.

I do not think there is such a coin that any existing coin has price fluctuations as well as bitcoins whose prices are constantly changing all the time, and if one expects the coin to be like that of course it does not fit maybe it could happen if investing in land

PoS coins are probably your best choice you can look for them and then decide in which coin you would like to invest however you are going to need a huge amount of capital so the growth of your coins is worth it, I do not know if you have a big sum of money but that can be an option, another option are casino tokens since they pay dividends to the holders after a certain amount of time.

Investing on PoS tokens is quiet a good selection to consider but same as you said it does require big amounts for you to feel up such profits in a matter of time and it is way more better than casino monthly profits and i can assure to that since i have tried out these two things. They both need big capital to feel up the profits but difference can really be felt but somehow a good tandem or choice when you are really seeking for passive incomes.

It is not like banks that will give you interest LOL, its gonna stay still forever

You can earn passive income by run masternode. I suggest yoy to buy XCPO because the price for now is falling. This is  a good opportunity to buy this coin in low price. Honestly, this coin has good future because the developer are already complete their e-commerce marketplace platform that already to launch. Buy XCPO in Cryptopia

How much XCPO should you have to be able to qualify to run a masternode? I wanna try this too.

I have been replying much to tokens that distribute dividends but I guess they will only give every 3 month which I don't survive with the dividends that is only about $200. Tried Leasing WAVES too but seem not enough.

You can buy a few altkoins and have a decent passive income. I do so.

There are cryptobanks, I just don't know if they really work like actual banks. I've also seen a message from freebitco.in that they will give an annual interest for deposited coins that reach their required volume or value but I haven't tested it yet. It's risky I guess not like real trading sites should you try it. Do a research first.

A Passive income is earnings derived from a rental property, limited partnership or other ... If a general partner in a VC firm invested into the same company that the private equity fund.

I don't think coin that generates passive income exist as everything on the market has a volatility rate and dependable on the demand which determine its price. I recommend you to buy highly potential coins that performed good on the last week or month, you can also buy recently dip coins as they are expected to pump because of new investors that it will gather.

Contributing on  tokens like Pos is peaceful a decent determination to consider however same as you said it requires enormous sums for you to fondle such benefits in a short time and it is far more superior to club month to month benefits and I can guarantee to that since I have gone for these two things. They both need enormous funding to fondle the benefits however contrast can truly be felt yet some way or another a decent couple or decision when you are truly looking for aloof earnings.

There are some POS or Proof of Stake token which is you just need to hold them and do something to earn the token to gain a profit,
I think there are only 2 POS of I am correct one is the Accelerator(ACC) and the other one is PoSToken(PoS).

When we say passive income it is a type of income that is a result of cash flow on regular basis which does not require effort by the recepient. I think it does not apply in here. Maybe we can gain profit in holding coins and wait for its values' inflation. But maybe we cannot call this a passive income.

Passive Income - earning money without having to do anything.

Yes one of the simplest way to make profit in crypto is buying and holding. Try trading, buy the dip and sell high. Then you may try also mining.

The only way would probably to mine them. Btc, eth and other established alts can be mined and that would perfectly suit your description of a passive income. Trading is never a source of regular profit. So are bounties and faucets. Lending probably could, but mining is your safest choice

I do not believe there are any coins that generate passive income for you. You have to be flexible in investing, and you will be profitable in the Crypto market. If you think that buying Bitcoin is going to hold and the price of Bitcoin is rising, I think the whole world will be like you. If you want to have a passive income source, you should make money on Youtube. You produce a video for everyone to watch and when you do not make a video, people will continue to watch your video the money that will be generated for you.

I see with what you do, this is a long-term investment, and this will upset you, and always want to know that the coin has gone up or not, and you are always curious, my suggestion you better find a site that is very trusted, and invest in mining because It will make your investment more profitable quickly.

Mining is the safest choice but for me I would choose to trade than mining if we are talking about profit, yes trading is risky but you can avoid those shit coin if you really do your own research about the coin, mining is needed a big capital just to complete all you need to make it.

I think you can take part in bounty programs with holding btcs for passive income

This probably is marketing for XCPO, but there is nothing that cannot be considered. I would only advise anyone who wants to take this option to do proper diligence first and not just stick with any coin for the sake of it.

Yeah, the best way to generate some good income, and not just passive is to invest in some coins in their dip state, and looking forward to them growing hugely when the FOMO rush starts, I still prefer that than any other form but you have to be very careful the coin you are holding.

No doubt it is good and effective way to get the smart income every month, buy bitcoin at right time and wait till it grow so fast, bitcoin has a lot of ways to make money as it can be use to invest in bitcoin, to trade with bitcoin, gambling and enjoying the free bitcoin money using the signature campaign and bounty campaign, choosing bitcoin as money making you will have to be careful as trading is risky way of money so be careful about it. I would suggest you to use bitcoin investment and to join the signature campaign.

No, it is not like it is going to stay still forever. Sure, for someone looking for passive, I feel it is even better trying to go the Proof of stake kind of way but in that case you will need some good capital and it is a lot of risk to take as well. I prefer just trading bitcoins in that case as the only thing required is knowledge, but considering that trading itself is a lot of job and you really need to be very careful, then I may say other options can be considered.

Very right with POS coins but in the real sense, I would rather prefer trading a large amount than trying to hold a POS coin for the little amount I get from it, but for an investor that is really looking for something pretty passive without having to do much, it is a good way to go about it.

One sure thing is that you are having something steady but like you said, you can only enjoy it when you have much but in that case, your trust on the coin you are holding should be strong, considering it is a lot of risk to take.

It is really a good pick, but if choosing any of these coins, you have to consider the risk involved when you are trying to go in big or possibly just spread the risk on some of them. We also have to consider the volatility risk involved in some of these coins, but for the long of it anyway, one way or the other, a good coin should have a good support with an increase in value over time. At least one good thing is that you get an increase without doing much.

You are right, this is a better good source of income actually, just make sure you have the idea what passive income means, because passive income should be just another extra income don't make it as a source of income because if you made it is not passive income at all.

I don't think there are any legit passive income scheme. Most of them are just ponzi scheme in disguise and 100% will collapse eventually. For example, the biggest "lending scheme" that recently collapsed is BitConnect. I have known that it was just a ponzi right from the start, I don't know why people are still falling for it.

So, there's no legit passive income in crypto yet. If you really want it, find some legit one in fiat currency.

If you are looking for passive income generation, you should look for staking coins.

NEO allow you to stake their coins to generate GAS which you can sell.

There are many other staking coins out there too. And Ethereum is also moving to POS in 2018, so that would also

allow you to generate passive income.


You could also run a masternode in coins that support this feature and be able to earn coins passively in running a masternode but the cost of doing so is getting exorbitant...

I'm not really sure if that's really possible passive income that they earn, just like other said, it's not a regular bank stuff.I see with what you do, this is a long-term investment, and this will upset you, and always want to know that the coin has gone up or not, and you are always curious, my suggestion you better.

I think we can generating passive income from the cryptocurrency especially if we have bitcoin and many altcoins because each price of the coin will increase higher in the long-term. so I think if they can have many coins from now, they are making a lot of money in the future. I don't think that they will upset especially if they decide to invest for a long-term because they already learn and know that in cryptocurrency, they can make money in two ways which are short-term and long-term so if they go with a long-term, it means they really make a lot of money in the future. and if you can learn from the history of bitcoin, from 2009 until now, how much percentage that bitcoin could reach? but this is for just people which really believe with bitcoin and not underestimate in bitcoin and they still hold on tight their bitcoin for a long-term.
