Since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin has seen a widespread acceptance and understanding among the masses, and that has been reflective on its prices too. A commodity which started at zero value and reached to $20,000 price must have something that has helped it not only survive the brutal trade market fluctuations, but also jump back from the worst lows.

That ’something’ is the technology that underpins Bitcoin- Blockchain. Cryptocurrency is just one use case of it. Now let us focus on the task at hand and discuss various strategies which might help you to earn and multiply your Bitcoin riches.

1. Buy Bitcoin Directly

The best strategy to begin with especially when the market is down is to make a direct investment into the Bitcoin. i.e buy Bitcoin directly and then start trading it against other cryptocurrencies depending on the market trends.

Bitcoin can be bought in various ways- you can make use of an exchange which allows buying Bitcoin against a fiat, or you can opt for a peer-to-peer transaction, i.e join a community and see if anyone is willing to sell theirs. If you feel you cannot afford thousands of dollars, you can buy fractions of it for whatever amount you have.

2. Mining

If you are new to the crypto realm, you must know that Bitcoin is based on the concept of decentralization and make use of Distributed ledger technology. In a decentralized scheme of things, all the transactions of Bitcoin blockchain are verified by the peers on the network.

The process of transaction verification requires solving cryptic digital signature associated with each transaction, and this verification process is called mining. For verifying every block on the network, the miner receives a certain Block Reward (12.5 BTC), which get halved every 4 years.

Now mining might look attractive, but it requires a ton of computational power which can only be achieved using a specialized mining rig like ASIC mining rig or GPU mining rig. These rigs can easily cost you thousands of dollars in initial setup apart from the energy bills.

So, if you feel you have enough computational power or you feel mining is the right way, you can make an investment.

3. Invest in Mining Pool or Mining Farms

Due to bearish market trends, individual mining has turned unprofitable as the initial cost of setup and energy consumption is too high. You can still earn Bitcoin through a mining pool or mining farm.

What a mining pool does is it combine the computational power or hash power of multiple users and the Block reward is then equally distributed among the members. Generally, theses pools charge a mere 1% of the profit.

Mining farms, on the other hand, rent out computational power to users through a centralized cloud-based service. You can buy hash power from the mining farm and continue mining through your home-based computer.

4. Services in Return of Bitcoin

If you believe you do not have enough funds to either directly invest into the crypto or set up a mining rig, then don’t worry there are still other legal ways to earn the Bitcoin. You can charge for your service in return of Bitcoin as payment.

Your service can be anything, a freelance writing project or freelance software developer, all you need to make sure is looking for people who are willing to make payments in cryptos. There are numerous online portals and service websites where you can get paid in Bitcoin.

5. Staking

Staking is one option that can help you get monthly dividends over your staked deposit of Bitcoin. What you need to do is find a service provider or master node runner who is ready to stake your coins and give you timely returns.

Staking is like putting your money in the bank, but unlike banks, there is no minimum requirement. Whatever number of Bitcoin you hold can be staked and get timely returns.
