I am a big fan of walk-to-earn apps.

Woke up at 5.45am today, 15 minutes before my alarm clock was scheduled to ring. No, I wasn’t that eager to show up for work today. The reason behind this anomaly was that I had transferred my $SWEAT from my Sweat Wallet to my Kucoin account last night, so I wanted to find out if I could convert it to another crypto.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. What’s $SWEAT? It’s the cryptocurrency launched this September by the developers of Sweatcoin, a walk-to-earn app. Since I am walking 10,000+ steps a day to meet the target as stipulated by the National Steps Challenge, why not download this app (https://sweatco.in/i/hengkaile Check out this free app — It Pays to Walk 🚶 ) so that I can kill two birds with one stone, right? I must caution you though that the developers are likely to sell their users’ location data but I can’t figure out why anyone would want to know my mundane routine of commuting to work and then back home. So yup, I have been clocking steps and accumulating $SWEAT.

Back to Kucoin. It worked! I was able to convert my hard-earned $SWEAT to USD$2.90 worth of USDT! Okay, $3 is just about enough to buy me a bowl of noodles at my local eatery but if I approach it from another angle, I have created a source of passive income from my daily routine. How cool is that?!

Feeling motivated to walk everywhere from now on.
