Every day I am trying to find new ways to earn. Either it be through faucets (which are becoming scarce might I add), blogging, creating videos, social blockchain platforms such as Tangled (Well DAG technology for this one), Grill, Torum, Ecency, and I want to say Uhive, but they have been having some issues. They recently shut down their platform for updates. I have faith in the platform, but it just worries me when a platform just shuts down like that. I am sure it mentioned what was going on somewhere, but I did not see it. I still have high hopes for Uhive though. The idea is awesome, but the app needed some work and maybe a little better communication would have been nice. Either way that is for another article.
I have always been a fan of NFTs, and I am always trying to get my digital hands on them, but to get your hands on one that will be worth something crazy in the future is almost impossible. I am not the best at catching deals or buying and selling NFTs. So, the best way for me is to find ways to earn them. In this article I am going to go over two platforms I like to use to earn free NFTs. First things first though. What exactly are NFTs?
What are NFTs?
NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are a fairly new kind of digital item that people are talking about a lot these days. Imagine them as special types of digital collectibles. Just like you might collect baseball cards or stamps, you can collect NFTs. But instead of being physical things you can hold, they exist on the internet.
Each NFT is unique and can’t be copied or replaced by another. This is what makes them “non-fungible”. For example, if you have a dollar bill, you can exchange it for another dollar bill — they’re the same. But with NFTs, each one is different, just like a ticket to a concert. Your ticket is unique — it has your name on it and the details of the event.
The world’s first NFT was minted by Kevin McCoy on the Namecoin blockchain in 2014. It’s called “Quantum,” and was first sold for only $4 to Anil Dash. In 2021 an anonymous person that went by the name sillytuna won an auction for the same NFT for over one million dollars.
It wasn’t until Ethereum came along that NFTs really took off. Ethereum made it easier for artists and collectors to create, buy, and sell these special digital items. With smart contracts and marketplaces we have seen a surge in NFT prices since they were first created.
Why are NFTs important?
I have noticed a trend where people are like can’t I just download that picture and own it. Yes, you can do that, but you do not truly own it because it is publicly available. Everyone owns it if it is on the internet. What blockchain does is give a specific picture or digital object a code. This code is unique which means the picture is unique. Which means now not only can physical objects have value but so can digital objects. NFTs are opening a whole new market.
NFTs are like digital deeds for unique items in the virtual world. Imagine you own a rare Pokemon card, but instead of holding it in your hand, it exists as a special code on the internet. That’s an NFT! These NFTs are logged and saved on a blockchain. When an artist mints an NFT, it’s like creating digital art with a built-in certificate of authenticity. Collectors can buy NFTs using cryptocurrency, and they truly own a piece of the internet.
Artists might earn a living by selling their digital creations directly to fans. Imagine attending a holographic concert by your favorite musician, where the ticket is an NFT! NFTs could unlock secret levels in video games or let you decorate your virtual home with unique digital furniture. The future might even bring NFTs for experiences — like owning a gif of the winning goal of a big sports game. Welcome to the future. If you are not into NFTs and do not know much about them then now might be the perfect time to learn more about this technology. If you want a deeper look at NFTs then check out “NFTs, explained”.
Right now, NFTs are used for gaming, art, real estate, and much more. I have a feeling this is just the beginning. NFTs are creating a new kind of digital scarcity, which is a pretty big deal. They’re allowing artists and creators to be rewarded for their work in ways that weren’t possible before. And for collectors, they offer a new way to own a piece of the digital world. Eventually everything in the world will have a digital version of itself in the metaverse.
Now, why are NFTs important? Well, they’re changing the way we think about art and ownership on the internet. In the past, anything digital could be copied and shared easily. But with NFTs, artists can create something digital that is truly one-of-a-kind.
For instance, a digital artist named Beeple made a collage of images and sold it as an NFT for millions of dollars. Anyone can look at the images online for free, but only the person who bought the NFT actually owns the original work.
Remember, this is a new technology and is growing fast, so there’s still a lot to learn and discover. But hopefully, this gives you an idea of what NFTs are and why I think they are so important and how they are slowly changing the way we look at digital items.
People tend to say that the NFT craze is over and pretty much dead. I think many of these people either do not understand this technology or do not realize it is here to stay. Do not get me wrong, some projects are going to die off, but this technology (blockchain) will evolve and one day mold with AI. The blockchain is forever as they say.
Earn Free NFTs
If you are still reading, then the idea of NFTs has caught your attention or you are already a NFT collector looking for new ways to get free NFTs. In this section I am going to go over a couple platforms that I think are going to explode in the coming years.
Before we go any further, I want to let everyone know this is not financial advice. I am not saying to invest in any of these projects. I am just showing the projects I use and believe will be huge in the future.
I am going to go over two platforms I have been using. These platforms are fun and fairly easy to use. I will give a short explanation but to get a better look at these platforms check out my video at the beginning of this article.
Drip.haus
DripHaus is one of my favorite ways to earn free NFTs. What is cool about this platform is it is free. All you need to do is check the site a couple times a day and earn some free NFTs. You can then sell these NFTs in the Drip Marketplace.
DripHaus uses the Solana blockchain. This allows practically instant transactions and extremely small transaction fees. So how does DripHaus work? DripHaus allows creators and collectors to earn from their work and attention. The creator gets to get his work out there while the collector gets to own a piece of the creator’s work. The chances of one of these creators making it big are there, so I am looking at this as a long term time investment. I plan on holding the NFTs I am collecting in hopes that one of these creators take off in the future.
You have the chance of earning rare and legendary NFTs when using this platform. You need to be invited. Someone has already used my referral link but I am sure if you start asking around someone out there has a link you can use.
Chainers
Chainers is a up and coming blockchain game. At the moment it is free to play and allows you to earn Crypto while playing games. Now it is a small game, but the team is active and constantly posting and updating the platform. There are plans in motion for the game to become a full blown metaverse. I am going to explain how it works a little but if you want a closer look then check out my video at the beginning of this article.
Chainers is a browser game. Personally, I am a huge fan of browser games. Games like ev.io, pixels.xyz, and Decentraland are just a handful that allow you to enjoy their game on pretty much any computer.
At the moment there are only two games you can play. One is the farm game. This allows you to grow crops and earn Crypto from it. You can earn $MATIC, $CFB, and $FRI. This is a slow process but it is cool to watch your farm slowly grow and earn from it. Now do not go rushing in and spending all of your money to upgrade just yet. You can not withdraw your earnings just yet. The game was just released around a year ago so it is still growing and building its ecosystem. I have noticed in my time of earning and researching that good projects take time. Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith if you enjoy a platform and spend some time on it and see where it goes. I have a good feeling about Chainers. Please do not get mad if the platform fails. I am just sharing my thoughts. This is not financial advice.
The next game is called dreams. This game is free once a day. You can play more but you have to pay 15 $FRI per game. This game is my favorite right now. If you can reach 1,000 points in the game you can win different rewards. What you win is random but you have a chance of winning pretty big. You can either win NFTs or $FRI at the moment.
Check out my video for game play. Right now, these are the only two games but if you follow Chainers on X (formerly known as Twitter) or YouTube you can see that there are big plans when it comes to the future of Chainers.
Final Thoughts
NFTs have not been around for that long. The first NFT ever created and sold was only 10 years ago. To give you an idea of how fast this tech is growing let’s look at other technology that was created in the 21st century.
iPhone — 2007
XBOX — 2001
Android — 2003
YouTube — 2005
There are so many other types of technology that have changed the way we interact and live. The point of me sharing this with you is to show you how fast technology grows. Think of what NFTs and blockchain are going to be like in 5 to 10 more years. AI and blockchain technology are going to change everything. I personally think the world will be unrecognizable in the next couple of years. I might be wrong, but I believe having a system that is publicly available that has no borders which can be monitored and controlled using AI is world changing. Things are happening behind the scenes in the world right now and I think a whole new financial system is being created. One that is not controlled by people but by computers. Blockchain cannot be stopped. The blockchain is forever. Change is coming and I think if you are not learning about this technology then you are going to be struggling financially in the future.
