Passively earning in crypto without trading.

[TheVeteranAngel]

There is a lot of transformation and development that has happened in the crypto space over the last decade. Back in the days, investors have to buy BTC and HODL for long timeand wait for the bullrun to earn. Along the line, crypto trading came up which has been an integral part of crypto since its introduction.

In order to bring more passive means of earning, staking, savings and lots of innovation came up to reward investors who are not willing to embark on trading but also want to earn from their crypto holdings. This strategy was quite more rampant during the bear market where products like Binance launchpool, high yield earns and Bitget sharkfin, dual investment and the rest where the best strategy to navigate the storm of the season.

With the bull market insight, seems a lot of people are enjoying the pumps from several coins they have invested in during the bear market but for those that didn't invest during that period, this product can still be utilized as the APRs have increased significantly unlike the bear market.

Or are there other passive ways of earning you will recommend for those that already missed the ongoing pump and are skeptical of price dumping on them?

These methods are based on providing liquidity to users. In the current market, there is a scarcity of stablecoins and an abundance of Bitcoin, so it is easy for them to ask you for Bitcoin or stable currencies in order to obtain more stablecoins.
Therefore, with the increase in the price of Bitcoin, these projects succeed in attracting liquidity, but as soon as the price correction occurs, all of these services will end up in bankruptcy, so be careful and withdraw all your assets from them before the price correction begins.

Holding for me outside exchange is still considered as a passive way of earning, you may not earn through the quantity of your holding unlike staking and interest rates coming from exchanges but you don't hold the private keys there. I'll choose to own and have it and see it grow in paper value than of seeing it have more in small amounts through quantity based on the percentage reward that they're giving to the depositors or holders of their vaults. I just find this as a better way to increase the profit through holding and that's why I consider it as a passive income. Also, you don't get to trade with that as it seems safer than all of those options.

HODLing the coins in a noncustodial air gapped wallet is probably the safest way with minimal effort. All you have to do is buy during the bear market and wait for 3–4 years to sell at the top or near the top. You will earn way more profits than staking or yield farms offer.

Other passive forms of earning in crypto such as cloud mining are mostly scam.

There isn't many ways to earn money passively, other than just holding your coins. It's also safest way, though, it doesn't guarantee high returns.
Other methods isn't completely passive because it requires more or less efforts. You can look at affiliate marketing, but it requires quite a lot work and some knowledge in beginning to start generating money. Lending is another option, but it's very risky, definitely not for beginner.

Check the earning programs on popular exchanges like binance, kucoin... the APR rates differs per coin and per term (flexible vs fixed).
Market mood also plays a role here ( seems like that during bull markets they offer higher APR on stable coins ).

There also used to be lending with some exchanges (I think bifinex still has this option)
or investing with casino bankroll was popular some time ago  (looks like bitvest is still working)

I can recommend an almost passive (pass a simple captcha every hour) way to get satoshi, which doesn't require special skills and time from a well-known and trusted exchanger aggregator - Earn free BTC with BestChange BTC faucet.

Drop by drop from faucet bitcoin satoshi accumulates and this is exactly what is called “Penny and penny laid up will be many”.

I haven’t withdrawn the accumulated satoshi yet, because in the process of accumulating the minimum withdrawal limit (1000 sat), but I’m sure there won’t be any problems with this. The process itself, in a sense, even seems like a little entertainment, and brings in its penny.

You can participate in the referral program of CEXs, and not only in the bull season but also in the bear season, this passive income is still a pretty good form. But it needs you to have a community and know how to attract users to sign up through your link.

In addition, I think airdrop, bounty, testnet,... are also some forms of income for us in the space.

While it may seem convenient at this stage to see profits, the value of cryptocurrencies can fluctuate wildly and without careful research, passive income can also be risky lost money.

Apart from trading, cryptocurrency can be earned in many other ways. By providing any kind of online service, payment can be made through cryptocurrency or Bitcoin. What matters here is what you intend to receive the money for. If you want to accept cryptocurrency or Bitcoin then you can. There are many types of small or large services that you can earn with.

According to my personal experiences airdrops, bounty programs and participating in testnet can be profitable if you know how to find them. For example the: Haven1 Blockchain and Haven1 Testnet.

Just buy and HODL crypto, which is the best and safest way.

If you still insist then there are other ways like lending which is not really passive though but you lend crypto, charge high interest rates and get back the funds in cryptoitself just like what we usually see in the lending section.

Apart from there is one, casino bankroll investment which is passive but doesn't guarantee any rewards like staking or others but definitely it's best for huge amount of crypto in their wallet sleeping for years and wanted to risk some in the best casinos out there.

This is probably the best way to gain money in the four years time frame however when it comes to the passive income, people would be wanting to get some ROI on a monthly basis and that is not possible in this plan. Here you will sell near the top after 4 years and if you sell some coins before, your profit may decrease substantially.

Stay away from these fancy terms like "Cloud Mining" etc as people will usually get your money and scam it, Also do not give your money to anyone else to get it invested for passive income, whatever method you choose to invest, do it yourself.

Indeed, crypto cloud mining is something that really should be avoided. Especially for beginners they might think that this is a great idea that will bring big profits. But in fact, crypto cloud mining is just a ponzi scheme, a scam, yes, another type of scams again. So you have to be careful not to just jump on the bandwagon and immediately participate in cloud mining without understanding it first.

Because at least, there are several considerations why cloun mining needs to be avoided:
1. Prevalence of Scams (bad reputation, many incidents of scams, and only sweet promises of high returns, but in fact, very low returns, and even very potential scams and only take our assets.

2. Low Profitability. Maybe many people think it will provide quite high rewards, but in fact, the returns are very low, in fact the risks are too high.

3. Control and Flexibility are very bad.

4. Security Risks: very high risks on security of our assets.

Trading is the best way to make a moderate income. But there are many more mediums in cryptocurrency, but in all cases you have to earn by proving the experience. If you don't have much experience then you won't be able to earn much.

Making passive income in crypto is always a risky deal, because in order to do so you have to trust your coins to a third party platform. We have already seen cases of investors who were scammed by the platform's owners when adopting lending platforms as means to make passive extra income in crypto. Others who lend money through P2P concept were also scammed, even by reputable members in this forum, so it's never an assured deal.

I really like the concept, but nowadays I'm quite fearful and uncertain about it, so I think the best alternative is to just keep your holdings inside a cold wallet waiting for market's increasements in price. Especially during bullish markets and the migration from the bull to the bear market you have to be careful with your funds kept at third party platforms, because that is when most scams happen, motivated by greed and lack of planning over customers' funds.

Freebitcoin offers interesting rates for BTC, but unfortunately some people are reporting some issues, so it doesn't seem reliable as it used to be, but many other custodial platforms or CEX other than Binance are offering earning interests. We can name Blockchain.com, Crypto.com, Huobi or Kraken. There are also decentralized Web3.0 DeFi or GambleFi platforms offering earning interests for investing in their pool. It can be safer than custodial platforms but smart contracts can be hacked or having back doors.
