Who makes money in crypto now? Bounty / airdrops are no longer relevant, trading is not for everyone, ICO is no longer profitable, mining is also not profitable enough

I myself receive income from the nodes, feels good, and I recommend you to explore this niche. Good luck to all!

I agree with that, but masternode is needed some crypto to start that and i think before u do that u need a crypto to earn from airdrop,bounty,mining and ico.

I'm a little interested in masternode, can you tell me how much you get from it (in percent)?
as know as in order to run masternode requires a lot coins, considering the crypto price is fluctuating do you still get profit when the market is bearish?

thank you for your attention I appreciate :)

Buying enough coins to run a master has been a pain in this market, comes with huge devaluation even though we get good rewards.
If the prices bottom out though its a good investment atm, do you have any recommendations of good projects that uses master nodes?

Good luck!

Most people made lots of money during the bullish run in almost all aspects... Its during the bearish moment that people have felt it hard but what I know is that there is no easy or free money. You have to work hard for it. Everything requires investment now in terms of money or time
➖ Mining requires lots of resources time and money
➖ Trading requires lots of time and money too
➖ Bounties also require time if you are to get something meaningful, the most sensible bounties are technical bug bounties
➖ Masternodes also require staking or resources (according to my understanding) which also means you will have to need some money
➖ Passive income projects like NEO or Vechain also require money to buy lots of coins to HODL so that you can earn something meaningful per day

So all on all... Nothing comes easy. Those Airdrops you think are free are actually NOT, you are trading your personal information and privacy which would be so expensive to acquire through legal ways for just a few cents in form of shit tokens.

I see some cryptousers that is registered here in bitcointalk forum that has a very high trust rate that uses an alternative way in earning money in cryptocurrencies. If I am not mistaken, it is called escrowing where someone acts as a third party in a transaction in order to secure a more robust and effective transaction.

You're right PoS or masternodes is one of the most alternative ways to earn, unlike PoW it consumes huge amount of electricity in exchange to a virtual currency.

But there's a requirements in order to setup a node such as:
- Capital (for buying node)
- VPN
- Technical knowledge

And you should know that setting up a node doesn't mean you're going to earn there's always a risk.

If you don't have capital and technical knowledge there's also an alternative way in order to earn crypto such as:
- Offering skills
- Blogging
- Manager
- Etc.

You may face very hard time and experience so that you said so. Bounty and airdrops may be not as worthy as the last year. But trading? I do believe that with the right strategy, we can make very big profits from trading. What we must do is learning how to utilize the market situation. We must also analyze which coins are worthy for day trading.

I still earn money from bounty and trading, In this market you can always earn money if you know how to take advantage. You have listed all the most popular ways to earn money in crypto and all is still well and there are still a lot of people making money from it

exactly, you might be thinking of the KYC system tho, it was so much risk for me personally and we couldn't even know is those ICO are true or scam either. To be honest I miss the bounty from the pass, no need privacy things and not too complicated.

I earn money by participating in bonuses and participating in deals. But at present, the crypto market is developing complex, there are many risks. Therefore, I will be careful  in choosing and making decisions.

Most people invest for crypto. But they have to make sure first that the site they will invest will really give them profits. Investing money is like losing it but not everytime. Invest an amount that you can afford to lose. Some alsi join different campaigns not only with this forum but from other sites too.

Maternodes is a great investment also. But not every people can afford DASH so there are many alternative nodes that below a dollar and I think there are some nodes which you can set up for only $100.

Masternode is indeed an alternative that is able to benefit from ICO and mining. Surely many people who have tried and had results, will never stop looking for opportunities in online business.

Joining signature campaigns were once profitable. Not until ethereum started to die. I rested for a while and now is my return and I am not surprised how most crypto coins are barely surviving. 2018 is definitely not the year we wanted. I feel like making money here is extremely hard nowadays. I have worked for one and a half month for a project just for about 20 dollars and that was tragic. I stopped and focused on my studies first and here I am, hoping that at the last quarter of the year, something good will happen.

I think the campaign still has advantages, we need to know in the campaigns that we do not only to get coins but there are other useful knowledge that we can develop, so don't be discouraged. Bitcoin mining also still gives good hope despite the slight results, at least this is our investment for the future.

now there are indeed many bounties and airdrops that are no longer relevant, but other ways also do not guarantee a definite advantage,
well if the nodes can make a good income, how ?

Pós coins may be a solution for what you said.

However you need to buy some coin to stake it.  As we are currently in a bear Market, it may not be profitable to hold altcoins for now to stake them... As you will buy a lot to stake, and receive only a small percentage of it per month. If the value decreases, you will lose money

Not at all, a lot of cheaters use fake information to join airdrops so it is free with them. I only join airdrop program if they do not ask KYC because I see the risk when you give someone your information to receive back few cents.

In this bearish market the smart way to invest in security tokens that will give a passive income. Don't rely on bounties and airdrops as they don't guarantee a sure profit. Invest in Dropil and it will give you ROI in every 15 days and fill your bags with Telcoin and PolicyPal tokens as they are legit start-up companies.

To get some passive income I invest in crypto gambling sites and I use Dropil which makes automated trades with your investment. Also I do have one masternode.

I believe there are many ways of earning money from cryptocurrency through mining, investment, airdrops, trading and bounty campaigns. In my case, I was able to earn money from my participation in signature bounty campaigns in my 11 months of participation. I think that most of the people in this forum are into bounty campaigns since this is one of the most profitable way to earn money.

I don't think there is any 'one' thing to do in crypto in order to make money.  Instead, a balanced approach of airdrops, ICO, mining, and whatever you can do is what you should do to profit.  I also recommend getting involved with new projects to see what they need.  Learn how to use Github to contribute and you may also get people to reward you for your efforts.

I agree with you that investing in ICO projects is now unprofitable and that airdrop and bounty do not bring profit as before. But I think you can still trade, if you are good at it, you can make a profit with it.

alternative ways to make money in crypto? iam still focuses on trading and bounty. most people out there invest in cryptocurrency. we should be careful to take a decision for investment.

just buy some bitcoin and store value. Too many people wanting to use crypto currency as a money opportunity means the scammers are everywhere.

You can always provide your freelance services in exchange for cryptocurrencies. It is still small niche and there is no proper marketplace but you can try to finds job offers at your local advertising portals.

I think day trading is more profitable than joining any bounty campaigns unless you have enough capital to engage in that activity and the skills in doing the trading. If you are a trader, you should have to be updated always with the current market trend so that you will know how the market behaves and where it is heading to. If you are not familiar with day trading, I would suggest for a long term investment like investing into btc as this is the most reliable crypto of all cryptocurrencies in the market with good return of investment. The only thing that is not so favorable to the investor side is the duration of time allocated for such investment since it may take many months or even years to gain that promising profit.

In crypto and not in crypto you cant make money easly and bout masternodes you need find good one not be scamed as i see many projects which make masternode sell coin s and go away.

I agree, most of the ICO right now is not a profitable and also doing mining also is not. But if you want to earn more, you can try using a masternode. But make sure to find good coins that supports masternodes. This type of reward platform gives you good return but needs much more tokens and a much more high price.

In my opinion, all what you need to earn crypto and feel well are doing trading and use such bounty or airdrops.

You can also use the old method by doing faucets.
Sure this seems very long way. but by your earnings from faucets, it can be exchanged to real money or maybe you can use it to buy a coin for holding.

whether the faucet is still paying? I thought the faucet would be a huge waste of time, effort and money that is used for the internet. not very helpful, I too have experienced this, but after knowing my bounty left faucet, because it is a huge waste of my time.

It is possible to train in earnings in Bounty. Training is the most favorable type of business where nothing needs to be done.

There is nothing instant in the crypto world. If you want to make money in crypto, you have to invest. If there is enough funds. Otherwise you can work or can be called a bounty hunter to earn income through crypto.

Masternode, naahhh. I never liked those. Yes if you were early backers of dash you are rich now. But new projects with masternodes they are mostly failing. Check dpos systems, voting and getting tokens. Semux is the best for example.

As in this current position, owning a masternodes is surely able to cover our needs. But doesn't it need a lot of resources and funding to own a masternode.
Cause right now there isn't much of a fund to get a masternode right now.

I think there is a situation disheart for investors due to download market. but trading is alternative make money. but we should be careful for choosing profitable coins.

Yeah you are right, for good and regular income from crypto now we have to work harder and need to be extra curious so that we can make decent profit.

I will tell you so, there are a lot of ways, since the cryptocurrency sphere is gradually gaining momentum and provides a wide range of opportunities for any user to earn money, the main thing is to have a desire to earn money and everything, the key is in your hands

I can agree with the airdrops but not with the others, a certain condition must be met to make some profits from them, for example with mining, you can collect newly born tokens while the difficulty is not that hard to mine then hold though you should make it sure that you are holding a gem the same thing with cheap electricity, trading is dependent to your skills, experience, timing, and capital, ICO's are risky but you can filter them all by researching don't expect short-term profits from ICO's, the same thing with master nodes.

I am interested in nodes that aren't expensive and will be profitable but is it possible to set up a node with $100 can you recommend one in case you know a node that cost as little as that. Thanks looking forward to your response.

gambling is the best alternative for earing money in crypto world. so you can try this a little bit.

In fact, on the bounty of the companies I now get good money. About $ 1500 for 10 bounty companies per month.

I think you have some clear points of your insight and i agree with you about the Nodes its quite promising and a minimal income generator. But as i see the things about crypto you should see it in the positive side for example the "Mining remain its potential, even "Day trading maybe its not for all since it has required technical expertise but still its quite productive if you focus it and learned with it. Desame as ICO as we see it today they are already existing and thriving so it means it has a demand it will not prospere if has no investors then, lets see it in the positive side and not the other side!

There are not many ways I believe

Either you do the following or you just watch others

1. You trade daily
2. You trade but by buying cheap, monitor markets and  sell when it has high value (takes days, weeks months)
3. Participate in valuable Airdrop
4. Participate in valuable bounties
5. Invest in valuable ICO projects
6. Watch others as I mentioned earlier

In fact, not everything is so simple, if you want to make money without the initial investment, you will only fit bounty and airdrop company, in all other cases, you will need a lot of money and your time.

Hello, my personal recommendation is to pay attention to the Vite now, they have now begun preliminary selection of holders for supernodes. DYOR.

I've never heard of it before, definitely deserves attention.

It's true that supernode and masternode requires a big amount to run, but I think the incentives is very promising, take a look at Vite.org. it seems like you can double your bag for running a supernode in a year. anw DOYR

In my opinion, an alternative way of getting money through crypto is of course, by investing or following the bounty of a particular project, of course there are still several other ways, and of course everyone is different in how to get the results through crypto.

There are too many ways to make money in cryptocurrencies, but each type of risk is risky and you need to control the risk. Otherwise bankruptcy is very common in the cryptocurrency market. Nodes are stable and easy but equally risky.

 I have understood about masternode and it is no different with margin games. It's a very dangerous game. But for normal traders like us, it will not affect too much. Because we only bet less money and not worry too much. But the rich should be careful with this game. Whales know how to kill traders very easily in this game.

There are always forks, but they aren't as common or as reliable.

Whenever there is a hard fork on a blockchain, essentially it is a "clone" of the original (well, with minor differences).
So if you have 1 btc and btc is hardforked with the new btc being called Bitcoin Silver or whatever.
You actually end up keeping the original 1 btc, and you can also get 1 bitcoin silver.
So you are basically cashing in on free coins.

There is a process with this, and it's different with each coin.
But typically it isn't a difficult process with some exchanges allowing you to do it directly through their wallets.

The thing about this though, is the more coins you have the more you get, so you typically buy more to get more, not exactly "free".
Also, hard forked coins are typically worthless.  The only exceptions have been BCH and to a certain extent bitcoin gold.

Buying masternode is not a bad option, if the coin project keep developing and going smoothly, you can earn many income from it.
Investing in ICO still can be profiting only if you participating in a worth project.
The problem is, there are no many worth ICOs to invest, only few are running nowadays.

You still needs more knowledge in any field you chooses to invest your money, the risk are always there but finding the right project to support will bring a huge profits and stable income if you are in a masternodes investment, there's a need of deeper knowledge about how things works and how can you accumulate while you are in the positions of receiving numbers of coins the downside are same with ico's when value falls so deep then your investment will also in red.

a big problem with cryptocurrency at this time, all participants from various parties did not feel profitable, then who gets the current benefits. obviously this is not a gambling game. we all hope to return to normal, but when that will happen

I still manage to earn some money on participating in a bounty campaign and short-term trading. Maybe someday I will try other types of earnings.

I agree with you but there are also a lot of scam in this way of makng crypto. It's too difficult to fing good masternodes which will be profitable for a long time.

In addition to the ways of earning on cryptocurrencies listed by the author, you can make money writing articles about blockchain technologies, writing decentralized applications, and developing educational programs devoted to this topic. This is relevant at the moment and can be profitable for those who is expert in the matter.

Masternodes are passive income and the same goes for having those PoS coins.

It may not that big but as long as you have those coins that has high value then that passive income would suffice you to live each day.

staking and run a masnternode is a good way to earn money in crypto industry,,
this way just like a passive income in crypto
personally i'm doing that too,,

I continue to do bounty and airdrop.  For me, the best option is a combination of bounty, trading and investing.  However, I do not sell all the coins received for bounty.  I leave some of them long-term, as I consider them potential in the future.  In matters of trading, I listen to my husband, he is better at it.

If you search well you can find many ways to make money in crypto. Different HYIPs, game on the blockchain, the part in the pumps and much more. If you understand all this, you can make yourself a good capital.

With the current market situation, the way to earn a profit at this time is to invest in long-term crypto such as ETH, BTC, XRP, BCH. These are the cryptos that will make you high earnings in 2019, as the economy goes up and the cryptocurrency market grows.

in the past only a small number of people believed in crypto, but now many are following it. there are many ways to produce crypto, that is, by following bounty campaign or trading on the altcoin.
