I'm in the mood to help the crypto community, so today I will share with you my favorite ways of earning free cryptocurrency without mining, staking, hunting airdrops or using traditional crypto faucets. Interested? Keep reading. Using referral links often give you (and me!) special benefits so I suggest using them if you choose to use any of these services.

Earning by Browsing the Internet

• Brave Browser: This internet browser rewards you with free Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for letting it show you advertisements while you browse the net. I have used it for several years and can say with confidence that the ads do not feel intrusive and are well worth the rewards, particularly since the price of BAT seems to be trending up. The Brave team also have plans to make a search engine in the future.
• Presearch: This decentralized search engine rewards you with PRE tokens just for using it. You need 1000 tokens to cash out and you can only earn a maximum of 8 tokens per day, but if you have patience earning is still possible. Referral link: https://presearch.org/signup?rid=2219409

Earning by Clicking a Button

• The Pi Network: Pi is a phone app that gives you Pi tokens every day just for clicking the mine button. Pi tokens are currently worthless and cannot be traded, but there are plans to turn them into a real currency in the future. I consider this app trustworthy because it was developed by a team of Stanford PHDs. Invitation code: Blingus

Earning by Writing

• Steemit: This is a social platform where you can earn STEEM tokens by getting upvotes on your posts.
• PeakD: This is a decentralized social network where you can earn HIVE for getting upvotes on your posts.
• Publish0x: This list wouldn't be complete without mentioning this very site! Here, you can earn small amounts of a variety of cryptocurrencies by writing articles or rating those written by others. Referral link: https://www.publish0x.com?a=JxboYzZBeg

Earning by Watching and Creating Videos

• Theta TV: Earn Tfuel for streaming and watching streams. Referral link: https://www.theta.tv/invite/87c5g4o
• DTube: Here, you can earn Dtube tokens for uploading and interacting with videos.
• Odysee: Earn LBC for creating and watching videos. Referral link: https://odysee.com/$/invite/EDGoauyq6GU1SGy9Qzv4tAMVYKKeiuV8
• Jungletv.live: Earn Banano for watching videos queued by other users.

Earning by Gaming

• Rollercoin: Rollercoin is a gamified faucet that gives you small amounts of BTC, ETH, DOGE or Rollercoin (RLC) every day just for having an account. Playing minigames and buying miners increases your earning power but you will still earn crypto if you don't play. RLC is a fake currency used exclusively to buy miners but the devs do plan to create a real RLC token at some point along with a marketplace where players can trade their miners. Referral link: https://rollercoin.com/?r=knr3nuvs
• Nine Chronicles: Nine Chronicles is a unique MMO built entirely on its own blockchain. You can earn NCG (Nine Chronicles Gold) by mining or selling items to other players. NCG isn't currently tradeable on any exchange but there are plans to create a bridge to Ethereum so that it can be traded on Uniswap.
•  Alienworlds: You can earn free Tellurium (TLM) and NFTs just for clicking the mine button. The kind of tool you use affects your earning power, but you can earn even without buying equipment. There are frequent tool giveaways on Twitter and Discord so I suggest keeping an eye out for those if you choose to play.
• RPlanet: Here, you can stake certain NFTs to earn free AETHER. The game itself consists of using AETHER to create NFTs, but you don't need to do that to earn. Using some free NFTs gathered on Alienworlds you can use this game to farm free crypto.
• Townstar: This one is trickier. To earn GALA tokens, you must take part in a weekly competition and be one of the top players. It's a fun game but requires some real strategy to win. Referral link: https://gala.fan/f0erEN74x
• Womplay: Womplay is a platform where you can earn Wombucks for playing various games. Wombucks are not a real cryptocurrency but they can be exchanged for EOS tokens weekly. Referral link: https://womplay.io?ref=8KZDK7Z
