Are you brand new to crypto and not sure where to begin to learn about it? Check out my intro to cryptocurrency and intro to blockchain posts and my cryptocurrency blog to learn more about this fascinating new technology!
Coinbase is one of the oldest and most well-known cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, boasting over 56 million users worldwide as of April 2021 and billions in USD traded since its founding in June of 2012. In addition to connecting buyers and sellers of cryptocurrencies and helping them transact, Coinbase provides a multitude of other services and products like a crypto wallet for both Android phones and iPhones, custody for your crypto assets on the exchange itself or in cold storage, round the clock crypto news from many of the most well known content creators in the space, and a “Pro” version of the Coinbase trading platform for those users who may want to dabble in crypto day trading. But perhaps one of Coinbase’s most lucrative products (certainly for beginners) is also one of its least well known: Coinbase Earn
What is Coinbase Earn?
Coinbase’s mission is to “create an open financial system, where anyone in the world can participate on equal terms from their computer or smartphone” and the company is a firm believer that cryptocurrency is the great equalizer for the global financial system. In an effort to introduce cryptocurrency and make it accessible to a larger group of people, Coinbase introduced Coinbase Earn in December 2018 to provide crypto users of all skill levels with the ability to earn crypto while learning about crypto. The program offers small crypto rewards (usually amounting to $2-3 USD or more) for watching videos about both new and less-new cryptocurrencies, answering one question quizzes, and, in some cases, completing small crypto-centric tasks.
What assets can I earn through Coinbase Earn?
When the program initially launched, you could earn crypto for watching videos about just one asset, 0x (ZRX). Since that time Coinbase Earn has added the ability to earn many additional crypto assets, including the Basic Attention Token (BAT), Zcash (ZEC), Stellar Lumens (XLM), EOS, DAI, Tezos (XTZ), Orchid (OXT), and others. While the rewards are no longer available for some of the original cryptocurrencies, as of writing this article you can still earn over $150 USD for watching videos and completing tasks for the other crypto assets and for sharing Coinbase Earn with friends, family, and acquaintances.
Why should I use Coinbase Earn?
In addition to handing out crypto assets that will likely appreciate in value if the crypto markets continue to soar (and I and countless others are firm believers that cryptocurrencies are here to stay) or that can be exchanged for your local fiat (e.g. USD, Yuan, Euro, and countless more), Coinbase Earn offers members the opportunity to learn about several lesser-known but up-and-coming cryptocurrencies through very simple lessons and tasks. This is a benefit to many people out there who have heard about cryptocurrencies in the news or from friends, but have no idea where to begin to learn about them.
