With the astronomical price rises across the board for Bitcoin and altcoins in recent years, especially for those who’ve turned spare change into massive windfalls, every tiny amount of crypto accumulated can go a long way.
We’ll look at five ways to get your hands on what is the closest thing to free crypto, starting with one of the easiest ones.

Just as simple, if not more inclusive than airdrops, staking has been a go-to form of passive income for crypto enthusiasts since its emergence around 2019.
Ethereum’s introduction of its proof-of-stake network, the Beacon Chain, in December 2020 further accelerated interest in this energy-efficient alternative to mining (Proof-of-Work) systems for older projects, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Monero.
Unlike various airdrops, most PoS cryptos allow even the smallest amounts of altcoins to be staked, thanks to liquid staking derivatives (LSDs) such as Lido DAO and Rocket Pool, in addition to stake pools for various blockchains.
