Yes, free
I assume that you like crypto because you are here, I also assume that you like free things. Here is a list with the best ways to get real free crypto, Let's start shall we?
1. Coinbase Earn
You probably know Coinbase, its one of the most known exchanges up there with Binance and Kraken. But did you know that they have a section called Earn where you can take quizzes about crypto and earn a bit (~3-5$) if you have the answers right, and don't worry yo can retake them if you made a mistake. The best part of this is that its automatically going into your Coinbase account so no waiting or transferring needed.
Join Coinbase here if you don't have an account yet.
2. Coinmarketcap Earn
This is the little brother of Coinbase Earn, and a bit more tedious to get. You also need a Binance id to get your quiz rewards, this is also not instant so it might take a while to get to you. But it is also just some quizzes that you can do to earn your crypto.
Go to CMC earn here.
3. Reddit
Yes, Reddit. The so called "Fontpage of the internet" also has free crypto for you! You can earn MOON on the subreddit r/cryptocurrency, you would earn around 0.6 MOON per comment upvote that you got with the last month rate (this changes every month). MOON is currently around $0.08 so that's pretty nice to get for shitposting.
Hope that you learned something new here, I know there are way more methods to get some free crypto (faucets etc). But these are the safest and the most profitable that I know, but as always Do Your Own Research and keep it safe, enjoy!
