Below are 5 simple ways that you can start gaining various cryptocurrencies without having to actually invest any initial capitol. This can be especially helpful for newbies to the crypto space that may not want to put in much into it as an initial investment, but still want to have a seat at the crypto table!

#1 - CPU Mining Cyrptocurrencies

There are multiple different ways to mine cryptocurrencies. Some cryptos use CPU mining, while others use GPU mining, and some even offer both options. Overall I find that CPU mining is far easier to setup for newbies so I am going to focus on it for now to keep things really simple.

The first option is to use CoinPot.co to CPU mine any of the following cryptos directly from your browser (Bitcoin, BitcoinCash, Litecoin, Dash & Dogecoin). CoinPot is 100% free, only takes seconds to setup, doesn't require any technical know-how, and can be done using even lower end devices. For specific details on how to start CPU mining with CoinPot, check out my article below which goes over how to start CPU mining with CoinPot in 6 simple steps.

Another CPU mining option is EasyHash.io, which offers some different cryptos options then the CoinPot ones mentioned above (Monero, Electronium, Sumokoin, Karbowanec) and is also very easy to setup and get started with. For specific details on how to start CPU mining with EasyHash's Web Miner, check out my article below which goes over how to start CPU mining with EasyHash in 3 simple steps.

As an added note, both CoinPot and EashHash can be used to mine on multiple devices at the same time to the same wallet, and can be setup/running on not only computers but also laptops and even cellphones (I personally mine Litecoin on my cellphone using CoinPot, and I mine Electronium on my computer using EasyHash).

#2 - Rent Out Your Extra Hard Drive Space

Another easy way to gain some free cryptos over time is to rent out some of your extra harddrive space on your computer using Storjshare. It is quite simple to setup using the Storjshare program which simply has to run in the background while your computer is on. At the start of each month, depending how much space you allocate to rent, and how much of that space is rented by other users, you will receive a payment for the previous months rented storage space in the form of Storj tokens, which are automatically sent to the wallet of your choosing (whatever wallet address you input during the initial setup, I recommend using MyEtherWallet as your ERC20 compatible wallet for this). For specific details on how to start renting your extra harddrive space using Storjshare, check out my article below which goes over how to setup Storjshare in 3 simple steps.

#3 - Surveys, Watch Videos, Install Apps or Data Entry

Another option to gain some cryptos without any initial investment is to create an account at EarnCrypto.com. This platform allows users to do various actions such as fill in surveys, watch videos/ads, install and use various mobile apps, or different data entry activities, which when completed pay the user in a crypto of their choosing. This platform offers a HUGE amount of different cryptos as payout (over 100 different crypto payouts to choose from), so no matter what crypto you are looking to get you can likely get it here as a reward for your work. To start simply create an account, pick the main coin of your choosing, and then pick the activity that you want to do. Once done the chosen activity you will be paid a small amount of the crypto you initially picked as payment, which over time can start to build up in amount as you do more and more activities, and you can withdraw your rewards to the wallet or exchange of your choosing once you reach the minimum withdrawal threshold.

You can sign up for EarnCrypto for free at https://www.earncrypto.com/earn-free-stellar-lumens/?r=105834 (you don't have to use my referral link if you don't want, but it is obviously greatly appreciated if you do as it has no negative impact on your rewards/payout).

#4 - Crypto Giveaways

Yet another option to gain some cryptos without any investment is to find users who are constantly doing crypto giveaways on various platforms such as YouTube, Steemit and more. These giveaways can be somewhat hard to find at times, but one I personally recommend is the Sunny Decree YouTube Channel, where he gives away 0.01 BTC (over $100USD worth) every day! For specific details on how to enter into Sunny's daily BTC giveaway check out the post below which shows you how to enter Sunny's daily BTC giveaway in 5 simple steps.

Sidenote: Trevon James on YouTube also offers a daily BTC giveaway through his channel, but I personally am not a huge fan of the guy (as he really pushes the Bitconnect ponzi scheme), but if you are looking for additional options for crypto giveaways he is one of them (but again I would personally recommend AVOIDING investing in Bitconnect).

#5 - Gain Free Cryptos Through Steemit!

And last but defiantly not least is Steemit! Steemit allows users to gain cryptos through their social platform, which makes it not only rewarding but fun as well. Get free Steem/Steem Dollars by simply posting unique and interesting articles, or by posting comments on other peoples articles, or lastly by upvoting content you like on the platform. Steemit gives even the most newbie of crypto users a great starting point to start building up their crypto portfolio. At the end of each 7 days any rewards for your posts/comments/upvotes will be payed out, which you can then view from your wallet tab within your Steemit account. From there you can either invest it back into your self (aka powering up, giving yourself more authority and higher future vote value) or you can cash it out to the exchange of your choosing if you wish to sell it for a different crypto or fiat of your choosing.
