One of the best and common methods form making money is HODLing which means "hold on for dear life." This process involve buying and holding crypto currency for a long period, with the hope of price inflation or increase over time.
You will only make money if you "SELL" those assets. Holding it forever will give you only impermanent profit.
From what I understand in the term "HODL", it means they will hold it forever, or at least for a very long time. Yes it got misspelled on Bitcointalk many years ago, but people put a definition to it already.
Ànd way is call day trading buying and selling p2p of crypto on a daily basis to take advantage of the short period price . Other way include staking, mining and yield farming." Most common methods also involved "crypto lending." This process involve lending crypto to user in exchange for an interest payment. While some other platform give you the opportunity to lend your crypto and earn fix interest , same as banks. Note crypto lending there are risk involved, scammer and theft.
Day trading can make you money, but at the same time, can make you lose money especially if you don't know what you're doing. Staking and yield farming is for me one of the best ways to earn crypto because you just need to store it in a DeFi exchange or a wallet, but you're prone to impermanent loss if you do that. I don't see crypto lending as a way to earn money because there's a high chance that you might get scammed by lending crypto. Been there already, and my losses can't cover the profits that I made by lending out cryptocurrencies.
Another method from making money from crypto that's gaining popularity it's called "play to earn. These are crypto games where you can earn rewards by just completing tasks, battles win and milestones.
P2E has been the hype last 2021, but currently, it isn't the case anymore. Although there are still P2E games that are currently operating, most of them ended up being abandoned, and many P2E games scammed investors. Overall, you can make money playing these P2E games, but you need to spend some money in order to earn.
There are other ways which you can also gain from crypto, called "crypto faucets." These are website or apps where you can perform tasks like watching ads, taking surveys and get paid small amount of crypto. Have you ever use a crypto faucet? Well "Crypto airdrops." Are also involved when crypto project gives out free token to users, to promote a new project . You will receive airdrops by joining a project community and completing a certain task . It's very important to be careful of scammers before taking part in an airdrop make your research.
Crypto faucets? Not worth it anymore.
Crypto airdrops? It will only be worth it if you need to have starting capital because you need to have some crypto to pay those transaction fees (bridging), or by lending/borrowing those assets for you to be qualified for the airdrop.
There are many ways to earn money from cryptocurrencies. It will just depend on the investor/person involved on how he will maximize it.
