Below are some of the companies that offer you a chance to earn crypto-coins without investing your own money.

You can then use this cryptocurrency to purchase goods or services on the platform or transfer it to various exchanges such as Bittrex andBinance, convert it to Bitcoin, or transfer it to your bank as fiat currency. You can download the app, called eSteem, on android or IOS.

The Brave browser allows you to earn rewards by opting to see adverts. It is that simple. What it does is give publishers back their fair share of internet revenue and you get a small amount for using the browser. They claim to be faster and have a higher level of privacy than Chrome. Go and test their browser for yourself.
SMS Chain
SMS ChainSMS Chain is for those with unused SMS text bundles or an unlimited SMS plan. According to their website, anyone who buys a SMSCHAIN Token and installs the app can earn money automatically by selling their unused SMS messages.

Watch this YouTube video for more information.
There are many other ways you can earn cryptocurrencies. Go out there and do your research! Remember, 10 years ago one bitcoin was worth a few dollars. As of March 2020, it’s worth almost USD 9,000. These currencies are a long term investment, but the above companies do not take time away from your day nor take money from your pocket. The perfect solution.
