Making money with bitcoin

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

I would like from the community if any of you to know some ways to generate a passive income with the cryptos, i know staking is one way, but for sure there are some platforms that offers a passive income while they hold our money, so, whats best options for this 2025?

Bitcoin is Proof of Work blockchain and you can not stake your Bitcoin by its blockchain protocol.

I don't know what you implied with Bitcoin staking, but I assume it is staking Wrapped Bitcoin tokens, not staking your bitcoins. If it is truly your implication, it's very dangerous.

You have bitcoin, that's good and bitcoin is precious but how about Wrapped Bitcoin tokens?
They are not bitcoins, but are tokens on altcoin blockchains. They have pegs to Bitcoin price that can be lost, and staking pools can be drained, hacked or scam exit.

I would say my advice, if you have bitcoin, hold it and get passive income with Bitcoin price growth with time and cycles, don't sell your bitcoin for tokens and stake them.

And if you have a good amount of BTC, don't put them on CEXes, especially to stake / do something else in the long run.
That would need to be considered too, in my opinion.

Staking is a good option to generate a passive income but you must be careful selecting the place. Perhaps staking in exchanges is good for you but you must know the risk. If you don't want to get any risk, you can just hodl your Bitcoin in your wallet and wait for the time to sell.

If you do that, you don't have doing anything and not worry if the staking is not working as you want because you just hodl your Bitcoin. You just needs to sit down and wait for the bull run and sell it to make a big profit.

What don't you like about investing in bitcoin or crypto? This is the same passive income - bought for price X, then sold for price Y. No active actions are required from you, like in trading, for example. Just hodl!

Some days ago i get my Nu card, it has a feature called boxes, you can freeze there your money to get a passive income, something between 12% and 14% each year.

When investing, you also, in a sense, freeze your money for a certain (or indefinite) period.

But staking on dubious platforms is even worse than keeping your money in bank deposits (in this case, there is at least some insurance from the state, and not every crook can get a banking license).

Totally agree with you.
Your BTC is the best thing you've got in your portfolio.
So anyone should be vigilant with it giving their BTC to some other party, better yet a centralized one at that.

I think OP searched for the options besides holding.
Being proactive like that is good, but not with BTC, in my opinion.

Aren't CEXes backed up by a state, in a way, too?

I don't like keeping my bitcoin in the custody of third part and I think that the best way you can generate passive income from your bitcoin is by simply hodli and that will do the magic for you. Keeping your coins with a third-party is risky and there is no guarantee that you coins are safe with them. Don't be decieved because bitcoin is not fiat that used be used for such activities, but a reliable asset that you shouldn't gamble with.

[passwordnow]

Most exchanges offer this but you'll have to deposit your Bitcoin or any crypto in them. So basically, they call it easy as staking as well but it's not. You're depositing into their offered accounts or promos for you to earn passively with the percentages that they offer. I think they're lending the money in some other services that they offer for their other clients or simply uses that fund to trade as most exchanges have their own fund managers and traders. But I don't advise to do such, the worry that you'll get from doing these is incomparable from simply holding it and looking at its value to go up based on the market's price.

And i was wondering if something like this exists with Bitcoin or the crypto world in general.

What is Nu card? I am getting multiple options so not sure which one you are referring to. I would like to try that!

I don't think any such similar products available in the crypto market. Because cryptocurrency is volatile so it will be really disastrous for a company to predict it's price and build a business with a fixed rate of return. Probably that's the main reason no such product exists in the crypto market.

Staking is possibly the only way to generate passive income in the crypto market.

A good amount of interest is earned through crypto staking but when you stake your crypto it is completely under someone else's control due to which you cannot control your crypto as you would at that time. so stacking is very risky. on the other hand, if you keep your money in the bank, the amount of interest you will get from it will be less than the inflation rate.  So in this case you can invest your money in real estate assets or gold or if you want to invest in virtual assets then in Bitcoin or other potential coins for long term investment. Which can give you a good return.

Passive income with your bitcoin is possible of course but it is risky since you earn money by storing your bitcoin on centralized platforms, it is not a good idea because these platforms control your coins.

There are great risks in storing bitcoin on centralized platforms since you may lose your coins at any time for various reasons as we all know, and the returns from that are not great for bitcoin, in my opinion Hold is much better in the long run.

If there were decentralized platforms that offered such a service while keeping bitcoin in the wallet it would be great, but as far as I know there is no such thing for bitcoin, it is only available for altcoin.

Defi could be an answer for this question. Its just staking or provide liquidity to the community. This could be something that a  person would want to do to make money while not risking too much.  Trusted platform however has to be chosen carefully. AAVE I think sti is running ?

DeFi's are actually risky. Haven't you heard those past reports about them, that a lot of dollars have lost? Maybe there are still few that are left that are legit, so if we still insist to, it is up to us. Staking and providing liquidity is popular on DeFi before but I think they are so common as well in non-DeFi now, so we only need to choose a better platform to reduce the risk evenly. Apart from platform, choosing a legit coin is also a must. This is where we can get our income the most though.

On to your last question, I think yes AAVE is still up and running. The coin is pretty solid just like a Bitcoin. We can also risk our money here, if we want some stability.

[nakamura12]

Isn't it risky to store bitcoin on any platform?, there's indeed a benefit from it if there's a platform that give passive income per year but as others have said it is risky to let other group or a company to hold your bitcoin. Well, it's up to you if you want to risk it but I prefer not doing it since there's something like that for fiat where you can earn a percentage of what you deposited on your account. How about staking or investing in a casino. I have tried it before with yolodice if I remember correctly where I invested my funds to their platform which will be added to their bankroll and can stop it or let it continue whenever you want. Anyway, I don't know any similar platform or if there's still something like that.

Until now I still don't know what ways can increase passive income risk-free because in the end everything has the same risk as the condition of increasing or passive income that is owned is not very effective to do even though there are some things like staking as you mentioned.

In the end I now still prefer the initial concept where I make an investment and wait for a few years or a halving period to get optimal results because for daily or monthly I can still get it from the results of the work I do so that for investments that continue to be made in bitcoin I allocate for a better future and the results will be much more worth it and I feel that right now where the increase from the investment I made in terms of value in the end is much greater than some things that have a few percent of what they offer.

Staking could have been the best features that is close to what you are asking, many investors have locked their cryptocurrency in some platforms and are earning passive income from the return on this locked coins, but most people do this with altcoins and not Bitcoin since giving up your control and freedom of ownership of Bitcoin is something that most Bitcoin holder's dont like to do most of the time, so for that we are sure that only ethereum USDT and other coins with centralized features are risked for all those income generating programs.

Most Bitcoin holder's already know that holding their Bitcoin for a long term based could also be taken as passive income generation mechanism, so for that all that they need to do is to buy Bitcoin hold them in their personal wallets, and do nothing wait for the market to appreciate before taking profits in the most passive ways possible for them.

Nu is a Credit and debit card that you can get by installing the app and some days after that you will get the cards, I am not sure if that card is available in any country but in my country is really easy to get.

Searching more about the topic I found some exchanges that offer a pasive income by holding your cryptos, one of them is Bitso, but the income is really low, something close to 8% anually, so, doesn't worth It at all.

[Sanitough]

However, since you are looking for another way,  then I'll share you a way to increase your Bitcoin or any crypto you’re holding beyond 14% per year, and it is by running a lending service here. From what I’ve noticed, the minimum rate is around 10% per month. That’s about 120% annually. so yeah, try to evaluate the risk, maybe you'll consider it.  

Is the loaned amount based on BTC amount instead of the reflected USD price when the loan was given out? Sounds like hell to pay during bull markets like what we have lol.

Have you observed the lending services in the forum? If you’re a lender, you can lend BTC and expect repayment in BTC. However, these days, stablecoins are becoming the more common option, but even so, a 10% monthly interest is still a great rate.

If you’re really into Bitcoin, you can always convert the USDT payments into Bitcoin as soon as you receive them. That way, you ensure you benefit from any price growth in the long run while still earning a steady income from the lending.

I think, there are many ways you can make funds from Bitcoin and crypto which is very common among the Bitcoin and crypto users in the community. You can purchase Bitcoin when the price is low in the bearish season and hold for the price to increase higher before you can trade your Bitcoin to make a passive income that will make you to cherish Bitcoin and crypto investment. You can also make passive income from Bitcoin when Bitcoin is a legal tender in your country, because people will be coming to your store to purchase goods and services and pay with Bitcoin or crypto for you to hold the Bitcoin or crypto for bullish season to appear before you can double your income from the exchange.

At this point in the market, it seems the question isn't anymore where to make passive income. The question is where to safely do it. Because it's everywhere. Which exchange doesn't actually offer it? Binance, ByBit, OKX, and the rest offer such opportunities. Web wallets, desktop wallets, mobile wallets all offer similar opportunities as well. Even hardware wallets such as Trezor and Ledger offer passive income opportunities.

Also, it isn't just the annual yield that you will possibly make money from. You might also qualify for certain airdrops. Others also provide you some kind of points. All of these could be additional sources of passive income from your invested amount.
