12 ways to earn free Crypto (will keep updating the post with recommendations)

If you're in this subreddit you know what Crypto is. Hell, you may even be doing 70% of these, but I wanted to give back to some members of the community that might not know:
- Learn and earn – Some websites offer free Crypto if you learn about a specific Crypto and do a short quiz or watch a brief video. The websites I know about are Coinbase Earn as well as CoinMarketCap.com. However, these offers are region based, so you may be unable to participate. Either way, it is extremely easy to do and earn a few $.
- Crypto savings account – A crypto savings account is exactly as it sounds, you open up an account and earn crypto interest. Some of the more popular options for this are BlockFi, KuCoin, and Hodlnaut.
- Browse the web with Brave – Brave is a reputable browser that offers Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for just browsing the web. It is seems to be one of the best browsers for security and preventing advertising tracking. You can also support creators through the platform with BAT.
- Signing up with an exchange – No big surprise on this one, but exchanges will try and get you to use their services, and free Crypto is a pretty big incentive. Always be careful with the exchange you sign up with as well as the information they ask for.
- Participate in an airdrop – Airdrops are events where people free Crypto typically for completing several marketing tasks (like a Twitter post, comment on a post, etc.). Popular websites that offer this are CoinMarketCap.com, Airdrops.io and several others you can Google (again be careful on doing this and stick to reputable Airdrop sites).
- Crypto credit/debt cards – These are essentially cash back cards but paid out in Crypto. They are also great if you don't want to use a traditional bank. Popular options include Crypto.com, BlockFi, and Gemini.
- Anchor Protocol – This one has been mentioned a lot and requires you to jump through a few hoops as well as have some initial investment, but currently it pays out 19.45% Crypto interest.
- Crypto games – Typically this requires an initial investment to purchase the Crypto/assets needed to play the game and the returns aren't that great. Max Maher made a really great video on some of the top Crypto games and how much he earned/lost in each game within 24 hours.
- Crypto Staking – Also requires an initial investment and holding of assets, but can earn between 4-12%
- Take Surveys – I haven't personally done this but here is a list of some of the top website that offer it as well as their reviews.
- Get cash back from brokers – Wealthsimple.com just provided an offer to get $40 of free Crypto when you open an account and add just $5. Many other brokers are doing the same thing so keep your eye out for these kinds of offers.
- Free NFTs – This one is hit or miss and depends on your thoughts on NFTs, but some recommendations are to follow a new Crypto on its Discord channel, or search Twitter regularly for NFTs giveaways. Again be very careful and make sure to not give to much information.
Please make sure to include other options that I might have missed so I can edit this post with other options!
Edit: as mentioned by @DAlmighty there is also Presearch which is a search engine that rewards you with Crypto.
Edit 2: I left Crypto mining out of this because it requires a lot of investment in a good GPU and computer parts, but yes, that is another way to earn Crypto!
