Cryptocurrency is quickly on it's way to become the largest and fastest growing market... ever. Getting into it now may seem to be a bit of a financial burden for some, which realistically leaves A LOT of people on the sidelines. If you're one of those stuck on the sidelines, here's how to get cryptocurrency without the financial investment :

Free Cryptocurrency : Airdrops, Bounties, Faucets & More!

Interested in cryptocurrency, yet not quite enough to make a financial investment? There's still an influx of new coins, markets, and heavy investors & with all of that comes the opportunity to earn some FREE cryptocurrency! Remember bitcoin used to be worth pennies now it's over $10,000 USD - these earnings may not amount to much now, over time they could grow to exponential potential.

Cryptocurrency Airdrops - Money Falls From the Sky!

This is the easiest way to acquire new tokens, it's like picking up dollars as they get dropped from a plane. Register your wallet address for upcoming airdrops to receive free coins. There's dozens of airdrop opportunities throughout the year as new tokens come to the market, just search the web or check out Airdropalert.com

Bitcoin Bounties - Collect Crypto Coins for Free!

When an initial coin offering is first announced they occasionally offer bounties to harness additional support. Bounties are a great way to earn on some promising up & coming ICO's - earn 1000's of coins for completing various tasks. The tasks could be as simple as retweeting, or writing a 500+ word blog post. You can also earn generous commission bonuses if you channel any sales through your promotion. Search the web & popular cryptocurrency forums for active bounties.

I guess if you think about it, Steem could be considered a bounty platform of sorts. You're rewarded based on creating and engaging content.

Free Faucets - Turn on the Faucet & Bitcoins Come Out!

Imagine if you could go into the kitchen & turn on the faucet only to have money come out. It wouldn't be the most practical thing for doing dishes, but you could afford to hire a dishwasher if you took advantage of the faucet properly. This is a real scenario online, except instead of a faucet we have websites known as "faucets" - these websites pay a steady stream of cryptocurrency, normally in the form of Satoshis for checking in every hour, completing simple tasks, or testing your luck on the dice games.

Blockchain Affiliates - Make a Commission on Cryptocurrency!

You can earn a decent amount of cryptocurrency with affiliate programs. As mentioned earlier some ICO's will give you commission bonuses for referring sales to them, even some exchanges offer a commission of some of the fees. There's cryptocurrency to be earned on virtually every corner of the "block"chain - it's just up to you to get out there & get it! Search the web for a list of blockchain affiliates & earn a commission on cryptocurrency.
