Yes, I know it’s a click bait title, but my article will deliver what it entices. But I guess you would likely to leave feeling underwhelmed because the passive income I gain is not enough to even buy me coffee, let alone beer. You have been warned.
Still reading? Okay, I guess your curiosity is piqued. The first way I gain sats for doing nothing is signing up to receive adverts on Satogram.
I inputted my LN address at Stacker News, so I occasionally receive deposits of 1 or more sats. Something like this:
Initially, I thought the deposits would overwhelm my notifications at Stacker News, but it turned out that these adverts are few and far between. So I find myself hoping for more deposits to brighten up my dreary day a little. After all, these sats can be used to pay for my routing fees to my LN wallet.
Most newcomers to Bitcoin would have tried to get some petty sats through faucet sites. The thing is, I never stopped using Cointiply, which I think is the best faucet site out there. Its Unique Selling Proposition is that it gives you an incentive for holding on to your sats on Cointiply for interest. So if you accumulate 35,000 coins (its internal currency), you will get an interest of 5% per annum. Interest is paid out every week, for those who don’t believe in delayed gratification. Now, I have only earned 1885 coins so far, but hey, every little bit counts.
Cointiply also has a referral link, so if you are the resourceful sort, you can derive some sats every day from your referrals. My 9 active referrals bring in 285 coins for me today. Not the greatest amount but still makes me glad.
So this is how I gain passive income through Bitcoin. I hope it gives you some ideas!
