Bitcoin Forum

Hello, I live in Cuba and I am 28 years old, a few days ago I made a post asking for advice on cloud mining, I see that it is a scam no matter how you look at it, so here my monthly salary is about 3,500 Cuban pesos, which is equivalent to 12 dollars approximately, therefore I would like someone to please advise me on a page where I could work without investments, such as a faucet that is worth it or something that allows me to generate $2 a day because per month it would be almost $60 and as you can see that exceeds by far my salary in my country and it would help me a lot. THANKS FROM THE HEART TO EVERYONE WHO HAVE RESPONDED TO ME PREVIOUSLY

You want $2 daily? Try and create good posts, read what people are posting on this forum, learn more also beyond this forum and be posing something that is useful to other people on this forum. Take your time to learn. Rank up and join a signature campaign. With signature campaign, you will see more than $2 daily.

Do not depend on signature campaign, but just for time like this.

Faucets will not give you 2$ daily. I will call faucet a time wasting work(sorry if someone like it). If you have any kind of online skills like graphics design, Article writing skill, Genuine translation work, moderator experience then I think you can get it easily just by posting your portfolio in Service section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0).

 If you have no skill then I will advise to go for Bounty section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0) where you will promote new projects through social platform and you will be rewarded altcoins but problem in bounties is that many projects are not paying now a days.

You should also be active here and try to rankup your account by posting quality post and something which is best for this forum. Then you can join signature and your wish will be fulfilled. Nothing is impossible but you have to work and your hardwork will be produce fruits for you

You only earn $12 in a month? I'm curious what your job is, but I think the amount is very small and if you already have a wife and children it will definitely be difficult to survive. Maybe you need to look for a better job considering you are already 28 years old

There is a signature campaign on this forum and I get paid $1 for each post. Not much but not bad either. But for higher ranks, they will be paid more. I don't expect you to be here just to make money as this is a discussion forum. If you have the ability, maybe you can start as a freelancer. I once joined several freelancer sites but am now retired because I am busy working offline.

If your goal is to earn $2 per day then this forum will not help you. If you work on bounty campaign from this forum it will not guarantee you payment And there's no guarantee when you'll get paid for it. On the other hand, if you want to do a signature campaign, you will need a Full Member + Rank account. So you are not applicable for anything with your intention.  
But if you want to earn $2 per day then you have to do trading which is not possible without investment. Again investing here and risky. trading will not give you profit guarantee too. so I am not able to suggest you anything

I work as a doctor or I used to, not anymore but the salary, as you can see, is very little, plus we don't even have the basic medications to even provide good care and with such a bad working condition in my work sphere I won't work because it's in my hands. I have lives, not cars or objects, they are people, so that you have a reference, a dozen eggs costs 8 or 9$ so it is impossible to live like that and first I would need to generate some amount of money to then be able to invest it in something online, well not even Not even my money can be used on the internet, they only really let us enter dollars, you can imagine why.... interests

My advice will be for you to keep up saving that $12 gradually and as you are saving along the line take some course and learn trading, to me this is how to be financially free and trust me you will thank yourself for learning how to trade in the journey.

Take note claiming free BTC from the faucet is not a job if you are looking for a job I think you can earn $2 from captcha typing.

I worked on some of them before like 2Captcha, megatypers, and Qlinkgroup they paid me in BTC. I don't know if they still have a BTC payment option so check for yourself.

If you have some skills you can also check this link

- https://www.reddit.com/r/Jobs4Bitcoins/?rdt=63903

Or I think you can try to promote referral links from exchanges like Binance which offers a 40% commission for every trade that your referral/friend made.

I did a quick research on how much is the monthly salary in Cuba, an what came up in Google is ~$150. A few dollars lower than our minimum salary, but the price of a dozen of eggs in your country - or I should say in your place is around 8-9$ you said. 4x higher than our price of a dozen eggs here.

I mean you worked as a doctor you said. Why you didn't pursue your profession as a doctor? TBH, I'm a bit curious. I don't want to generalize all, but what I know is that, doctors always had a high salary. Anyway, are you an expert doctor? You have 2 choices. Continue your profession, and work in an hospital, or be an online doctor. You have license right? Use your profession to earn money, and don't expect too much on faucets. Find a way to use it. Maximize your time, and don't use it on faucets.

I just hope that you will not do what most of the newbies are doing here - joining bounty campaigns. :X

Some people actually earn below that amount and they are surviving. It just depends on where you are living and the cost of things there. If you convert that $12 to some local currency, you'll discover that it's a reasonable amount to some extent. Talking about this signature campaigns is the reason why some people engage in account trading and it's not guaranteed. The number of users who wants to enroll in campaign is higher than the campaign available, it's a message that the signature campaign is not a reliable means. I will advice OP to get something doing offline or to enroll himself in any skill acquisition center in order to support himself financially. Earning money online is not as easy as some people think it is honestly. You need to have skills such as writing, editing, designing and good in content creation. If you have any of these skills then you can start from somewhere.

And please be careful so you won't fall victim of scammers who might pretend to help you with legit online business that pays. I can see that the OP is desperate looking for means.

Where did you look for that information? If I won 150 dollars, believe me I would be happy, put here the link of the pages where you looked for the information, a Cuban doctor in another country does win, in Cuba friend, no, that information about the salary is false, in fact the Minimum wage in Cuba is about 2,100 Cuban pesos, which is even less.

For sure this 2$ on the faucet is not true at all, even back when I was just starting on cryptocurrency i wasn't really able to accumulate that much, probably I earned around 30-50$ my whole life claiming faucet on freebitcoin website which is really popular as a faucet back in the day when the faucet was kinda thing, probably faucets grinders could earn more but today it wasn't possible to earn even lower than 1$ in faucet especially if it's going to be daily.

I mean there was no other way the safest thing you could do was find a job since it would just require your skills if you only earning 12$ then you're gonna need to find another side hustle so that your gonna have other sources of income, some members are already recommended signature campaign here in the forum which I think is really a good side hustle especially if you are already established here in the forum, but your gonna need to rank up first and need quiet a few merits in order to even join one.

One thing that you can do, is if you have skills or products you could also post here in the forum, you could offer your skills in exchange for Bitcoin as well as offer your products or something like that.

Thank you, I'm trying 2Captcha, I'll be using it today to see how much I can generate in a day, thank you very much, is it sure it pays? well if it works it will help me I think !!!! :)

3500 cuban peso is actually 147 USD~ according from xe.com though this wage still sucks

You can go to micro earnings board, see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=212.0
quick disclaimer: I'm not saying you'll find the exact figures you're looking for but it's good place to start lookin'

Honestly, I don't really recommend spending many hours on faucets every day as you're better off learning a new skill with that.

You only earn $12 in a month? that sounds bad. You need to work harder and improve your skills to be able to get a better job. In my country there is assistance from the government for poor people, but this assistance is given to those who are married. Are you married? If yes, hopefully you will get help from the Cuba government, if not then you will have to fight harder to have a good income when you get married.

If you are patient and contribute to the forum, you can earn money from here. Start building your reputation and account ranking, this will make you have passive income from the forum

That platform does not have the exchange rate of Cuban peso to dollars updated, in fact you can notice that the CUC currency appears in Cuba, which was eliminated long ago within the Cuban economic system, nothing to do with that change guys, I hope!! !!
The Cuban system, or government, does not pay us that amount of pesos per dollar, I show you the official exchange rate within Cuba https://www.bc.gob.cu

When I saw your monthly salary scale, the first thing I did was to search for "Cuba minimum wage" and I was surprised there is no minimum wage for Cuba. The salary scale is base on what the employers deliberate and agreed on upon. Isn't that abuse of labour union or you guys don't have any union or organization that represents labour in your country? This is sad, like $12 is too small.

You should listen to some advice that were share above, you can earn and make a living through them but you must be ready and don't over depends on them because anything can happen at anytime.

You may have missed that he lives in Cuba and that he is a doctor. The situation in Cuba is so disastrous that qualified professionals have trouble feeding themselves. Wonders of socialism.

CryptoDeivid, I think the best advice you have been given is to use the forum and over time you can join the signature campaigns that will pay you at least $50/week when you start, and over time you can aim for $100/week or more but it is a long term plan, to use the forum well regularly and not see money in about 9 months at least.

Since $12 is really valuable for you, I think there's nothing wrong to try join a bounty project (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0), even you're still a newbie you can join as long as you have facebook, twitter, etc. I must admit if bounty is full of scam, but you can minimize it by joining a bounty managed by good bounty manager and the funds is escrowed.

I thought doctor is a profession that get paid accordingly since it's really cost a lot and hard to learn.

I would like to know how you can save anything with a daily salary of 40 cents. If he wants to save, he needs income first.

And the advice about trading is not any better: trading is straight gambling, and I don't think that he is in a position where gambling is a good idea (again, that's only an option when you have income and some spare money).

CryptoDeivid, it is true that signature campaigns can give you as much as much as 12 dollars a day, bit it will take you several months or a few years to get there. You can try and join different altcoin campaigns in the meantime: expect zero payment in many cases, but I think that a few ones that pay will make worth the effort, especially when just a few bucks are so valuable in your situation.

Y, por último, te informo que tenemos una sección local en español]https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=27.0]sección local en español (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=27.0) en este foro, donde te animo a participar: serás bien recibido, aprenderás algo y probablemente te ayudemos entre todos a subir de rango poco a poco. ¡Ánimo!

Your best bet right now to earn from cryptocurrency and improve your income is through this forum. The 2$ or 1.5$ per added to your income will certainly improve your economic and mental well being.

You'll need a lot of self improvement and self development in the area of Bitcoin. And come back here to write what you may have learned that will be helpful to the community.

Try to think what are other possible ways to earn using your skills or hobbies mate. That way, you may not feel the extra burden of having a part-time job. There are a lot of opportunities nowadays, especially online.

If you love playing games, I heard there are games that allow you to earn $2 daily. A lot of games may not stay consistent over time but there are new games that are coming as well. But I keep hearing about Flyff Universe players earning for years now. It's an MMORPG game that I do not like since I prefer games like DOTA but I might try it one of these days. Some are playing the game for their monthly bills so it could be worth it.

I can see you really earn a little amount of money monthly, which I believe with your age,$12 will not solve your financial problems, and you said monthly I don’t know how you cope with your problems. However, hard work pays a lot. You can also earn in the forum, so you need to put in more effort, read hard, and learn all the possible things for you to be eligible to participate in the signature campaign. And again, as you can see, your account is still new, so it will take time before you rank up. What if you get another job doing something aside from your job that you earn $12 per month? If you have skills, you also need to utilise them for you to be able to meet up with things.

According to Google, it's 145.83 dollars. Why did you divide by 12?
Google also shows the minimum wage is 2100, and the average is 4000 CUP. I guess the cost of living is also a lot lower than most countries.

How does this work with the trade embargo against Cuba? Even if you have skills you can sell online, as an employer I wouldn't want to risk violating the trade embargo.

Instead of cloud mining, it sounds like you need some chickens.

It's hard to see good online schemes that could get you some little earnings nowadays. A lot of them has proven to be scams. Since you don't really like the pay of your salary, but you have your internet then you could learn some online skills. Skills like graphic design, web development, artworks and so many others can get you good money. After getting this skill you can create an account in some legit freelance website, there are many on the internet, but I will recommend Upwork (https://www.upwork.com/) and Workaspro.  (https://workaspro.com/)

If you find it difficult over there because there are lot of competition, then you can create your own service announcement thread here in the forum and share your portfolio on the thread. Definitely if your good at your skill people will contact you for short term jobs or long term.

This is a good thread for you to keep an eye on, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5448924.0. Try your luck for free.
Pay attention to the requirements, some may not yet accept beginners to join.

That's bad advice, considering the OP is a doctor the recommendation should be rather good. :D

  :o :o :o
I want to clarify something in this forum, because I see that it is something very serious, I am realizing that 90% of the world population is unaware of the reality of Cuba, the government shows exchange rates that are not real, those numbers are only possible. For the foreigner or tourist who is visiting and can buy things in Cuban pesos, in reality for us each USD costs us 250 pesos, therefore do the respective calculations, NOTHING or NO information that the government shows to the world is REAL, just show something beautiful, a mirage, we Cubans live in a parallel universe, I'm not saying that, you can go to any other chat and talk to a Cuban so they can see the harsh reality we go through. Here I leave you a YouTube video about some of the money in my country: the bad thing is that it is in Spanish, I will look for some in English

Ok, since you asked on the side about how to make $2 every day without having to invest. I will invite you to get more than your expectations, start by improving the quality of your posts. Pursue your rank to at least Full Member and then you can join the Bitcoin Paid Signature Campaign.
It's not easy to achieve it, especially now that you're still a newbie, but as long as you're willing to try to make your dreams come true, you can get more than you've ever hoped for.

LMAO!!

Well, it is not fun, I visited Cuba several years ago and I know that it is true. The fact that there are few chickens in the island, importations are restricted, and the Government give a few to each citizen every month make remaining eggs surprisingly expensive and only affordable for tourists.


This is also true: there are extremely different exchange rates for Cuban pesos (for citizens) and USD pegged pesos (for foreigners); 1 to 250 is not what I saw when I was there, but in the last years thing may have worsen to that extent.

Well, this idea is not a bad one but there's need for you to remind the poster that signature campaigns are not always a guarantee. Aside that signature campaigns can stop at anytime unexpected, it is also about luck. Take a look at the current active campaigns and the number of participants and compare the number of rank up members from full member who are not in the campaign. Having rank up your account to full member will not guaranteed you a campaign although, you will have some chances but my point is joining a campaign should not be a priority or the reason for putting effort to rank up. My advice to op is to find an area of specialization and improve his skills both online and offline.

If that's the case, why do you calculate the price of eggs in dollars, and not in pesos? It can't be that a box of eggs costs two thirds of your monthly salary. If that's the case, you'd have starved to death by now. So I'm curious: how many Cuban pesos do you spend on your groceries each month?

I've never been there, but I've read about it a few times. It sucks for the people :(
If eggs would be that expensive, I'd eat something else. I still don't get it though: hatching chickens is no rocket science. If someone has a a few hens and a rooster, they'll basically multiply themselves and eat whatever they can find.

So, if a Cuban citizen were to earn 1 mBTC (worth $28.73 at the moment), would he be able to use that money? How many pesos would he get for that? If exchange rates are that twisted, what's the point of converting? Do you need dollars for daily expenses? I don't get it: if trading and imports are expensive, can't the (tropical) country focus on producing for it's own needs? It looks like a beautiful place, and it's such a waste to see it in poverty.

For reference: if I sell 1 mBTC, I'll get €26.10 (after transaction fees). That's enough to buy 88 eggs in a supermarket. And eggs already got a lot more expensive lately, because of inflation and regulation that improves living conditions for chickens.

The most effective way for you do have acquire that is to build up your account by earning merits to rank up so that you can potentially join some signature campaigns in this forum. But since you are in lower rank I guess you might struggle to seek for something that can generate you a passive $2 unless you try to risk on tradings but it also requires a lot of understandings and funds before you can go on that situation. If you are skilled and can work on computer or communications related job then maybe you should try to apply for a job here or maybe on those freelancing sites since provably it can give you more than what you ask for. For now don't pressure yourself about those earnings and try to learn first before money will just come after that.

I know its hard to live with low salary but if you are so eager to learn for sure in future you would provably know for yourself on where you could potentially earn and what skills you need to learn to have advantage to acquire multiple jobs that you can work on.

Cuba has been a place I have always wanted to visit, don't ask me why...

But a simple Google search on Cuba's minimum wage shows that it's currently sitting around 2100 Cuban pesos and you are almost at 2X the rate which makes you better than most.

Btw I don't know how you got to $12 but 3500 cuban pesos shows that it's equivalent to ~145 dollars and that $2 per day from faucets isn't needed...unless am missing something or its 350 Cuban pesos you meant to type which is about 14.5dollars.

OP, now that you have already come to this forum and are thinking about how to earn some extra money, I would recommend you to read this post/thread, which will perhaps guide you a little better in the possibilities and ways of earning money here.
It was written a long time ago, but most of the above is still relevant
[General] How to earn Bitcoins (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1629118.0)

Was this a post to meet your subscription quota? Are you suggesting that the OP save exactly what he earns in a month?



I also looked up information about salaries in Cuba, and to be honest, I was very surprised that in Cuba, those who work in IT companies have high salaries. But even those who work for large companies have earnings that do not exceed one hundred dollars. Indeed, Cuba is a place outside the earth's planet. OP, I can only sympathize.

According to Google, Cuba's GDP per capita is $9500 (in 2020). That's more than Mexico, and 4 times more than India. But Worldometers.info (https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-per-capita/) shows N/A, so I believe the exchange rate can be a tricky thing in this case. If there's no free exchange of currency, you can't compare it in dollars.

Both sources, Google and Worldometers.info, do not have to provide accurate information about the real situation in countries like Cuba. They have the data that the local regime passed on to them after the adjustment. It is enough to switch off or modify one parameter and the final result will be completely different from reality.
Perhaps it is a little more difficult to accept the extent of such manipulation if someone has not lived under such an authoritarian regime.

Google shows official data that is basically useless, a clear example of this was Venezuela and lately, Iran, when everyone stopped using government data and used black market rates their wages went down the drain in foreign currency.

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/cubans-struggle-peso-loses-half-its-value-year-informal-market-2023-08-02/


so the minimum wage is around ~$10 and the average is lower than $20.


I knew I heard that somewhere else:
Let Them Eat Rabbit (https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/09/14/551026492/let-them-eat-rabbit-is-venezuelan-presidents-response-to-food-shortages)

I don’t think there are still some good paying faucet site anywhere as their is no body ready to dash out money for free again. I don’t think I can get my hand in any link right now but I believe their are places where you can make some decent earning online but it can’t be stable as you really want to be earning an average of $2.

If you have some writing skill you can look for some of this freelancer sites where you can advertise your skill and even here in this forum you can also open a service thread where someone who is in need of your service can hire you and at the end of the day you will be paid for the service render if the client is satisfied with your work. Since working online is digital I believe any skill you have can be useful in some ways all that’s just needed is for you to be a little more creative and you can fine a place online that you can start earning, but daily pay is what I’m certain on how long it will take you to get that.

I am very curious about your job which pays $12 every month, if a accumulate it per day, you only get paid $0.4 a day, that is a very small amount in my country especially if measured by the wedge regulated by the government. Hurry up, friend, start exploring the forum deeper to increase your knowledge so you can immediately increase your account ranking. Believe me, if you have a strong desire, you will soon reach Full Member rank.

Do something that can bring merit to your post, sooner or later you will reach your goal. Every now and then you can visit the Service board, you can find something extraordinary there that can make you feel more at home in the forum when you have experienced the minimum payout of $40 every Sunday.

I remember one member who was also from Cuba a few years ago and had similar questions as the OP, and he wrote that the internet in Cuba is very expensive and not available everywhere. According to some information I read, the situation has improved a bit, but I wonder how the OP gets the internet, or whether $2 a day would be enough to cover those costs?

Hi CryptoDeivid, nfortunately I am aware of the situation in Cuba, mainly because of this Youtuber who emigrated to Spain a year ago:

Anita Mateu  (https://www.youtube.com/@AnitaMateu)

I say unfortunately because it made me realise that the best plan for the vast majority of you in Cuba (except for those who are very close to power) is to emigrate.

I invite you to come by our local Spanish forum as well.

If you want to earn online without any upfront investment you'll need to have some special skills that you can render online it could be content creation, virtual assisting, online tutoring and freelancing. If this area are not the best for you develop your crypto knowledge and join signature after you have reach the require member rank.

Hence my question: if someone in Cuba were to earn $20 in Bitcoin, does that mean it gives him more purchasing power than his salary? Or does that add another level of getting screwed somehow?

I gave the example of eggs because it is the food that we used the most in Cuba and it was the cheapest so that from there they can extrapolate and imagine how much any other food would cost, pork is for the ''rich'' here.  it is a luxury, currently 25kg is sold for 153usd ((if we convert those 153usd to Cuban currency at a rate of 200cup, which would be the cheapest you could get it for, it would be about 30,600cup and with a monthly salary of 3,500cup it is impossible)) We eat rice and some fruit like plantain or banana, or rice with legumes like beans, but we don't have other foods, we are an island surrounded by water and yet we haven't tried fish for more than 5 years, how is it possible? Well, all the fish is left for the hotels and tourism, seafood, etc.... and I put it in dollars so you have an idea because I can put it in Cuban pesos which would be about 2500 or 2700, but it is a large number for which doesn't really give you a picture of how much inflation we're talking about. The other thing is that here the government pays us in Cuban pesos, however in the stores they ask us for the MLC currency, it is a virtual one created by themselves whose value is determined by the USD, but the worst thing is not that, if you go to the bank with your Cuban money to buy that MLC currency, you cannot buy it, they do not let you nor can you buy USD so you necessarily end up buying in the informal market, that is, from Cubans who have relatives in other countries and who send dollars to their MLC cards and then they sell you that MLC at the price they deem appropriate to make money.

Excuse my English, I am relying on a translator so that you can understand me as best as possible.

Currently the internet is one of the worst services that the government provides us, unlike other countries you have several companies that offer internet service so there is always competition among them to win over more people, here there is only one, monopolizing the telecommunications service, Etecsa, that's what it's called, and it's also of very, very bad quality (to give you an idea, to talk to you and write to you I have to go out into the street to send responses and read them, well within The signal does not reach my house, we only use mobile data, there is no Wi-Fi inside the houses, the coverage is very bad) Therefore things like playing to win money or something that requires my constant internet connection is impossible. In addition to the connection being slow, it costs us 250 pesos for a 3.5GB data plan, which you must consume within a period of 30 days otherwise you lose it, but not only that, they have increased consumption, if you watch a video that It should consume 30mb because it consumes maybe 50mb or 60mb, almost double, they do it with the objective that you run out faster and buy again, I only use textual things that is, Whatsapp to communicate by messages since they consume very little, or forums like this, that is, nothing that uploads images or videos, otherwise if I did it would run out in a matter of 5 or 6 days. Guys, it is quite difficult to live in Cuba, I just warn you from the bottom of my heart that you never come to visit, it is not worth spending the money that you have earned by working hard to spend it in a country that offers bad service. ((On top of that, the government tells us on TV and radio that all the money collected and obtained from tourism is used for our improvement and it is a lie, they keep it all!!))
I want to take advantage of talking something about the YouTubers in Cuba who have been able to leave the country, many were imprisoned or their right to internet service was taken away because they showed the reality here and obviously it was a negative image that did not suit the government, this is a dictatorship, a wrong image has always been given, nothing that is shown on official pages is real. If I made videos on a YouTube channel about things about my country, they would come and question me to know for what purpose I did it and if I mentioned something that was not beneficial for them... well, I already mentioned what happens.

$60 a month is still not so big, you only see that amount as big because you have not started earning such yet. You can earn more from learning other important skills like trading since mining may be difficult to start. With what you earn, maybe you will be able to find a mentor or academy to help you learn the basics and have a good foundation. In less than a year, with serious dedication, you should be able to earn and make more profit than what you will earn from signatures and bounties. It is also a lifelong skill that can assure you consistent financial benefit if you stay dedicated to learning.

I do not know the ways to use Bitcoin in Cuba to buy things, where I imagine there are not many options, but I understand that to exchange Bitcoin for local money, at least in the big cities, there are. Actually, looking at coinmap, there are some places to pay with Bitcoin and even some ATM in the capital, so anyone who earns $50 a week in signature campaigns in the forum has a purchasing power 10 times greater than a skilled professional in Cuba, where most depend on remittances from relatives abroad to subsist.

The first thing I can sense from your request is that you are desperate at this point and its leading you to a great mistake if you're not careful, and from your tone of request, you don't sound vibrant and exposed. I surely reflects laziness and I encourage you not to be lazy in thinking and acting. You're looking for a revenue generating model without investment. I'll correct you my dear, there is no such thing as something for nothing, you must be ready to sacrifice something special to achieve success. Those faucets might end up disappointing you in the long run and you would've lost valuable time engaging in them and increase your frustration. I will advise you to learn a skill instead and consider freelancing with maybe Upwork, Fiver or others. You can upskill in possibly copywriting, which you can do with just your phone. Graciously, there are some free good trainings on YouTube that can get you started. Give yourself four to six months of consistent learning and you're good and earning some cool cash in it while engaging in forum activities and ranking up until you are set for signature campaigns as a side hustle. You will succeed, that I know, but you need to work harder and smarter.

Taking into account the price of the internet and its availability, do you think it could be profitable for you to do something online? As far as it seems to me from what you wrote, you are quite limited in terms of how you can use the internet, which means that there is not much left that you can do online as a kind of work.


I won't say that you are not telling the truth because you live in that country, but is it possible that you are not objective with regard to your personal experience? One of the most famous journalists from my country (but also from abroad), Goran Milic, made a documentary about Cuba (Cuba si, Cuba no (https://hrtprikazuje.hrt.hr/dokumentarci/cuba-si-cuba-no-2559732)) and as far as I remember, what he recorded there and concluded from talking to people doesn't look so black.

Besides, isn't it a bit destructive to invite tourists not to come to your country as if it will make things better? Aren't these same tourists also spending by buying food, drinks and souvenirs from ordinary people who can earn something that way?

He is still able to access valuable, textual information, and he can also create and publish textual content, so IMO there are still many works he can do.


I agree with you, even if it was true that most of the money charged by the state wasn't used to improve the citizen's life, indirectly there are many ways to make money out from tourists (creating little restaurants in your home called paladares, providing little casual services in exchange of a little (not do little for the Cubans) tip...

But I have to say that all Cubans I have met in my life, both in the island and those who came to live in Spain, all of them talk really bad about the life conditions there.

A few days ago I was looking for pages where I could offer 3D graphic design or translation services, logo design or styles or images that could later be used in other products such as clothing, but pages like Fiverr, Workana, Upwork I just opened right now but They are not accessible in my country, they are blocked for Cuba, many of the pages that you have suggested do not open to me, only with VPN, but it is impossible to use them because the connection becomes even slower. It's not that I don't have the desire to work, if that were the case I wouldn't be here, of course there is some desperation, it is overwhelming to live this way where at only 28 years old you live in a country where you have no future because every year it gets worse and There is no improvement and you cannot leave either, it is a prison shaped like an island. If I am open to trying everything, I have already been doing it, but there are many obstacles that we have from Cuba when browsing the internet, it is very limited. Even so, I continue reading them and trying every method they give me.

If you're interested in working online from any reputable organization that can pay you, then you don't have to set a limit to the amount you must be paid per day, there are many online jobs you can work to earn more or less base on their requirements, but you need to first talked much about yourself on what you have that is employable, you need to learn something and have something to render as service for them to pay you for, what are your skills that can make you employable.

What do you mean you can't leave? Then how did all those other Cubans leave and today live all over the world? If you really want to change something, then it's hard to achieve it this way, because if the situation in your country is so bad, the only way out is to move somewhere else.

I live in Europe, and since my country became a member of the EU, at least half a million people have left the country in search of a better life. The one who wants to do something always finds a way.

Could that be because of sanctions? Or because of this:

I noticed this:
Nobody is looking for a remote translater who uses machine translation.

If it would be easy, many companies would hire cheap remote workers. If that would happen, rates would go up. You're basically competing with cheap remote workers in much easier countries.

I will briefly explain something about my country regarding this: the economy is a total failure, doctors do not have basic supplies to work in addition to the very low salary, so no one wants to work for the government, therefore the country is in a moment in which it does not have enough doctors and therefore the Cuban state has restricted all medical categories and specialties with a resolution that regulates their departure, prohibiting them from leaving the country to keep them trapped here and they necessarily have to work. That's what I mean, there are other Cubans who have left the country, yes, illegally, on boats, putting their lives at risk by sea since Cuba is an island, the sea is the only means of escape, the Cubans who leave It is because they have studied any other career or do not belong to the Cuban health system and many of them have relatives in other countries who lend them money to fill out all the paperwork in the relevant embassies (paying people, corruption) to validate their documents and go through 3rd countries and/or crossing borders.

There would be a better option for you is the signature campaigns that are happening on bitcoinTalk, for which you have to learn from the users who have up ranks like I can say Legendary. Just follow them and see their interaction and how they post and first of all read the forum rules to get more knowledge about the bitcoinTalk Forum. As it is necessary before you start your journey a this forum. Also, that will give you more than 100$ per week but for which you have to work hard and you have to make better posts and the posts should be quality. Spamming or other things can't give you merit, so you have to earn merit and work for it with your heart. I hope you will see after some time your rank up and you will easily join the signature campaign that will pay you even Weekly or some of them that pay after the end of their bounty Programs.
I don't even think trading would be a better solution for you at this stage and this salary.

Honestly, the salary you receive per month is very small when compared to what my country gives to workers. with the equivalent of $12 you can meet your daily needs?

You are lucky to be able to join this forum because there are many BTC paid campaigns that can pay you around $ 1 just for each post you make. You must be able to focus on making your account's reputation good, never commit plagiarism or make spam posts. As for cloud mining, it's currently not profitable at all, it's better if you just leave it, focus on what's real.

That's interesting (and off-topic) but this probably is the thing that they tell you on many podcasts about bitcoin. That bitcoin's price has a potential many people fail to recognize and that potential lies in countries where internet is hard to access, expensive, or literally inaccessible, unless via a mobile phone, which can be painful to use.

If you're looking for $2 a day, you could try translating texts to spanish, or teaching courses online. Youtube or tiktok videos can get you more than that if you know how to attract viewers. A signature campaign can easily (even for a full member) get you $2 a day. I feel like you could make $2 a day collecting scrap, or sweeping the streets.
Try washing cars, buy a wet vacuum cleaner, or a pressure washer and wash cars. You can easily make some money this way.

No, friend, in my country that doesn't work like that, that would be normal in other countries, here those activities are not done nor are they monetized if you did them either.

You don't get the point that most Commercial activities from others countries are banned in cuba right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_embargo_against_Cuba

The point is that he can't monetize that kind of content just because no bank is enabled to do that kind of business in Cuba.

My recommendation for OP is that once he is able to receive some coins in any cryptocurrency, he may teach others to receive and send those coins just to encourage local commerce without intermediates.

When you struggle to get 2 USD or even 1 USD per day Bitcoin becomes an expensive coin on matter of fees if you try to use it for Daily basic expenses.

for example: right now there is 3sat/vB

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/10/21/Tu5cN.png

When you are trying to save money even those fees may kill your savings, So my recommendations is maybe get payments in some stablecoin and when OP have the opportunity to save some for long time then choose bitcoin for that

12 dollars to 60 dollars is a lot more, if you can earn more than 60 dollars per month in the venture you have taken up then you leave the 12 dollar job without a second thought. If you are thinking of investing then you have to do it for long term as short term investment does not show much profit. If you have some amount of money now I would suggest you to get enough understanding about spot trading. As you gain knowledge about trading, you will want to put those concepts into practice and when your trading education and skills grow enough, you can fully take up trading as your career. If you start trading with $100 it will not be difficult to earn two dollars every day from there.

It looks like you (and I don't mean you personally but all people there) are going to have to change your own country. You live on a beautiful tropical island, there's no need to be poor. I know it's easier said than done, but you (again: plural) are going to have to fight for your country. All countries are fought for in the past.

This would be the ideal, but being pragmatic, what can he do, alone, to change the situation of the country? It seems much easier to migrate to another country (and, afaik, it is much easier to say it than to do it, as Cuban citizens have very restricted their right to travel, not to talk about the impossibility in many cases to pay the price of the flight).

Long time ago I talked here in my country with a Cuban, who was a doctor too, about the "brain drain". He corrected me, it is not a brain drain but a "foot drain". Not only people with studies like CryptoDeivid, but most people would like to escape the regime. Fighting it instead is dangerous.

I am sure that with your profession you could very easily find a well-paid job in another country, but the question is actually how badly you want to change something in your life in order to take some possibly very risky steps. If you believe that the situation will not get any better in the near future, I wonder what else is left for you except to leave the country in any way, or be persistent and try to earn something online.

I found one of your countrymen who asked about similar things a few years ago, so even though he is not active on the forum, you can send him a message and maybe he will receive a notification by e-mail - azkielt (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1164566). In any case, someone who already has experience might be able to help you and point you in the right direction.

Has someone already suggested to you that you can offer some of your services that will be paid in BTC - if you are good at something, you can offer it here -> Services (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0)

Seems like you miss calculate the conversion of Cuban Peso to USD, according to google, 3500 is not $12, its around $146,

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/10/21/THHGj.png


Eventho I still think that salary is still quite low for a doctor, but $146 would still be enough to survive, but $12 is just not humane. Because you already has experience as doctor, I think the best option could be pursue your career as doctor, and save some money to get better degree and certification as medical specialist. Since you ask this question this forum so I assume you already know about crypto and Bitcoin, you could spare some of your salary to buy Bitcoin.

Seems like you didn't read the topic.

I know if become a doctor isn't easy, but this is why you need to lower your prestige if you want to survive. You can't expect after you complete your degree, you will work in a big company that use full English, there's nothing wrong to accept a small company that pay with minimum wage because you can use that advantage as stepping stone.

At least he can earn some pennies in bounty to support his financial.

I repeat once again, I already explained it in the post to another person, my country does not work in sync with the entire world, that conversion that Google shows you is not the real one that the banks in my country offer you, in fact a Cuban does not You can go to the bank and buy dollars because they tell you that they don't have USD to give you, it's that simple, then you are forced to buy USD from people who have it here in the country because their relatives send them to sell them, not to as it appears on Google, but at a price multiplied by 10 or 20, currently 1usd is equivalent to 250cup in ''our market'' which is far from the reality shown on the internet.

In Cuba we eat rice with a vegetable if it appears, many eat rice alone or with a meal, nothing else because protein is very very expensive, seafood does not exist (despite the fact that my country is surrounded by water) we do not have fish, I have almost forgetting the taste, a kilogram of rice costs 400 to 500cup, how do you think I can save those 3500cup per month when the money disappears in a matter of days just to be able to buy some food and survive.

For those who want to know how is the bitcoin and crypto currencies developing on Cuba check this video:

The Truth Behind Cuba's Bitcoin Revolution | What it Really Looks Like (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPp0Xbk4bFo)

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/10/28/T4RJf.png

They explain a little the devaluation of the Cuban Peso.

There is a funny part where they said (Some cuban) "Atomic Engineers can make 100$ USD a month"

That is something odd, there are people here in the forum making that amount per week every week, and they only need to post messages as hobby.

@CryptoDeivid try to post more messages to be able to join to a signature campaign.

If you are on this forum and want to learn and earn so you should make constructive posts and up your rank. Then you will be able to join signature campaign which can give much more as you are expecting. Many members have told you about this.
I will suggest you to keep posting and try to grab merits it will take time but at last you will become full member and you can join a signature campaign.

When the tourist buys pesos, he pays $100 (in Bitcoin) per 20k pesos. Google says that's currently worth $835, so it looks like the tourist actually paid a more realistic rate.

The "cost of living" graph surprised me. Here, a very large part is housing. In Cuba, it's not even in the graph. But clothing costs almost the same as food.

I now wonder: if fish is only for tourists, does that make anyone who sells something to tourists very rich?
I'm a city person here, but it's not that hard to catch a fish. I just can't grasp how the economy there failed so hard that people have to rely on subsidised food. At the end of the video the guy explains everyone in Cuba is well educated. It looks like the country has so much potential, and it's such a waste now.

You gave him bad advice, because posting more does not automatically mean that he will be able to start dealing with signature campaigns just like that. Ranking comes not only from posts, but also from activities, and what is even more important from merits - which leads us to the fact that he should try to write as many quality posts as possible, which means focusing on quality, not quantity.

Even if the OP reaches Jr.Member or Member rank (which is very realistic), only one of the signature campaigns accepts Member rank and pays an incredible 150 satoshi to 1500 satoshi per post, and considering the price of the internet that the OP pays, does it even make sense to participate in something like that?

Well, yes it was a bad and vague advice, when i write "more messages" i was referring to HUGE MORE, and yes as you write it need to be more quality over quantity.
OP need first get some real stable job, the forum is a hobby obviously, but here in the forum there is some nice histories.

"Bitcointalk" is part of my family living life & my "Baby birthday celebration" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471177.0)
Re: My first Bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469952.msg63020396#msg63020396)

In the Long run OP can get some income from this forum economy.

It's hard to believe that you, as a medical Doctor by profession, you don't have a good salary structure in your country Because judging from how the Doctors are being paid here in my country, it keeps me wondering because doctors barely look for jobs here, and they are offered good salaries, however, I think is time you think of acquiring more skill aside your profession if the situation is so bad to the extent that even a medical doctor can't have a good living in your country. On the other hand, you are lucky that you find yourself in this forum as you will have the opportunity to earn through a signature campaign, do what is necessary by adding value to this community through the experience you have and the ones you will learn here.

  For now, participating in a signature campaign is the safest way to earn as long as you are qualified to be part of it. But since your position is still in the lowest rank, then work on it and learn from the quality posts of other high rank members so you will easily learn how to get merits and eventually increase your position as you increase the merits you have received. Do not be lured anymore with faucets, they're not worthy of our time and efforts, and gone are the days where we are getting decent income out from it.

Monitor this Board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) often to motivate yourself who wants to earn $2 every day. As long as there is a desire to achieve it, you will get it. Do something more valuable in the forum such as improving the quality of posts to speed up rank up. Here you can work without investing when your profile allows to wear a hat, joining the BTC paid Signature Campaign is one way to make your dream come true.

My personal suggestion for you is if you want to earn from here without investment then you must be minimum member or full member of this forum. To become a member or full member you need to post good quality. If you can earn enough merit from good quality posts, you can participate in signature campaign here. If you participate in the signature campaign, you can earn money here without investment, but it is more than the two dollars you pay. From now on give time to this forum and do well here, hope your dreams come true. Moreover, you cannot earn without investment.

Based on your rank in the Bitcointalk, it will be difficult for you to earn $2 daily in this forum because those that are using legendary and Hiro account in signature campaign are making big money weekly which is more higher than what you are earning as a doctor in your country. I guess, this is a clear opportunity for you to grow your account, if you can reduce other activities that is taking your time, so that you will have chance to learn so many things from BTC and crypto books and include this forum that will help you to display quality post that will improve you higher in the forum.

If truly what you said is real , by earning $12 as a doctor, showed that your government doesn't value doctors in your country because, in my country doctors and politicians received the highest salary in the land.

Op, in my opinion, I will say that you should try to make your post count here firs, if I say post count it might sound strange but what I meant exactly is quality post, your post here should be a piece of writing that either solves a particular readers problem or the entire forum problem, a post that contributes in different ways here that's all you need to grow here and this will prepare you to the laughter ahead, as for the extra income you will surely get it here that's if you work hard but not at this stage, as a bitcoin talk member or user your major responsibility should be your contribution towards the growth of this forum, I believe if you concentrate and continue to make your stay here count, you must be rewarded, so set your goals and go for it.

If you are a Cuban citizen, $12 per month is a very low income, making it difficult to cover your expenses. And I have seen that the price of food in your country is very high, so it may be difficult for you to live on such a small budget. So if you can earn $60 per month to improve your future and fulfill your beautiful goals then I think it can be good for you. But you may not be able to earn without investing, to earn anywhere you need to work hard and invest some amount of money there. If you take the advice of saving some money and trading it later, you might have a good amount of profit every day. But you must know before trading if you have idea about trading then you will never be able to make profit by trading daily so you have to learn first. And if you work hard on this forum for a long time and increase your account rank, maybe you can earn a passive income every week by working on a signature campaign, but you have to work hard enough.

Actually, currently on the internet we have many job opportunities or potential to make money. But everything cannot be obtained instantly. Well, everything has to go through a long process. It requires consistent and disciplined hard work. Even hunting for Airdrops requires a lot of hard work and consistency. And I think from Faucet maybe it will just waste your time. Because it's hard to hit $2 from a faucet. I'm not experienced in faucet hunting. But I have done it. And I gave up because it only made me more unproductive. Even in this forum, we can generate income if we work hard by becoming posters who can provide benefits to readers in this forum. I was initially not motivated to rank up on this forum. But after I got some Merits, I was immediately motivated to move up in rank and make better posters and work harder and read more to broaden my knowledge. But it still takes quite a long time. So I hope you can start honing your skills. And take advantage of every opportunity in the internet world to make money. Even becoming a YouTuber or influencer is currently quite trendy. And I'm also trying to learn that. And I'm sure one day my hard work will pay off. So in essence, stay enthusiastic and never give up looking for opportunities wherever they are. either on this forum or on any other platform.

Even in my self with my current state of living 12 dollars is not enough for a monthly range, unless your country has a low cost of living still ideal to pay but most of us want to have financial freedom, why not take time here in the forum and be a prominent member that sooner or later once you ranks up you can now participate into the signature campaign, or else you can offer by yourself any job in the Service board. If you do not yet have a good knowledge with the crypto i guess having additional job is a must with that cost of living. Seems this topic is related to economics or off-topic.

 Are you serious? You make $12 a month; how did you manage that? How have you managed to survive? Is there no cost of living in your country? I'm just shocked at how well you manage yourself at this age. If there not a job that will pay more than this? If possible it's you can change your work. As in my country, $12 will hardly buy you enough food to last a month. Instead, let's speak about how you will take care of yourself, because you most definitely take good care of yourself. If you still have a family to support in this situation, you won't have received your pay yet, but you'll be considering what to buy with it because the calculations will exceed what you earn in a month. Look at the links that people have sent you; they are very important. If you continue to post quality content in this forum, I think you will gain merits that will advance you to a new ranks. It will help you getting to a signatures if that is hard for you to do, you can start up from bounty sections to help you with your financial assistance.

Check the post that i made, there is a video that explaint a little that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5470438.msg63065728#msg63065728

The Cuban economy is a disaster. They are embracing this kind of technology more than first world people, they embrace bitcoin because it is a lifesaving money.

The cuban government is scamming his own people, they (the government) collect physical dollars bills and they give people some shittoken that they can spend it only in some Special Stores

I hope that OP is well, he suddenly stop posting.

Faucets will burn your data as you'll intermittently be on the internet to claim and this can eat into your meagre salary. Did you say $12 as salary? I'm trying to imagine how that works. I didn't know Cuba isn't that fantastic with her GDP (or what is it economists call it, again?). Faucet isn't a good place for you as it's now. By the way, if you're used to $12 as salary; don't you think $2 daily will be aiming too high? I know there's nothing bad in being ambitious but there has to be machinery in place to achieve that, right? $1 daily profit could be a good place to aim. However, I think the best part for you should be this forum. Try and be more active and contribute nice posts so you can rank up and get into campaigns to earn. Once you start earning, it will amaze you how you will surpass all that daily earning target of yours. I think as a Full Member who will have the ability to earn as much as $40 weekly in a signature campaign.

I also noticed that he stopped posting, even in the local section, where he was active a few days ago. I hope he hasn't gotten into trouble over this issue.

I have witnessed myself the corruption in Cuba, and we usually consider Bitcoin a lifesaver in countries with tremendous inflation like Venezuela or Argentina, but the Caribbean island(s) is (are) not any different: they are even worse. In countries where there is no hope for the citizens, Satoshi's invention is a precious gift. Even with everything that could be improved, we are very lucky to live in our respective countries, albert0bsd. Let's give thanks for it.

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me with ideas and helping, I appreciate it very much, I was somewhat inactive because I was sick intermittently for several days and at the same time I have been publishing from time to time in the local Spanish section since it is my native language , but I will try to continue here too. I'm still searching.

Hey, CryptoDeivid! I'm glad to see you back and I hope that you're in better health now. It's true that you wrote in the Spanish board more recently than here, but it had also been a few days since then and we were a little worried about you.

I have seen that you've been super active today. If you feel more comfortable there, you're very welcome, but it is also a good practice to keep posting in the "north" from time to time.

These was exactly what I was about saying not until I came across your post and I think in addition to what you already said, op please try not to seek to eat only today forgetting tomorrow Which simply means that since you’re already making this post, you already accepted to welcome every criticism and I love your boldness for that rather than letting your pride and egos hold you down and you should focus on growing your account and making meaning contributions to the forum and hope to join a signature campaign though you don’t have to depend on this but it is truly a way out in times like this.

Yes, I am seeing that this forum can be very useful to me, both to be able to earn an economic livelihood in the future and to learn about the subject and based on that I am concentrating and focusing, thank you!!
