Crypto Earning Apps To Look Into For 2021

Real Estate Crypto Games

Recently, upon exploring the many ways to make passive income online, I encountered a very interesting article about how one man quit affiliate marketing for the opportunity to break into the virtual real estate market that centered around cryptocurrency. He was going through Decentraland.


Unfortunately for me, it is only available for download on either a pc or laptop. I am not sure if it is available on Windows tablet, since I haven't attempted to get it on mine due to storage issues. I did, however come across an equivalent of Decentraland for mobile devices called "Upland".


Both games involve purchasing or winning NFT assets which can then be sold for actual currency which is applied to either your wallet or paid to your Paypal. So far, the only purchases I have made in any crypto game was in "Upland". I made a small $5.00 purchase to be able to own virtual real estate in order to boost my in game passive earning. So far, I have not been able to gain much property due to the fact that I have been turning my attention to other daily life distractions. The good thing is that even though I have not been too active in those games, I still earn the in game points passively off of my 4 small properties. 

Decentraland, on the other hand, does take more engagement with other players and events sponsored by those users. For me, it does take some getting used to as far as movement, however, thanks to my many hours in Star Wars The Old Republic, I am a bit familiar with the keyboard controls for movement. (Disclosure: I am not much of a pc gamer compared to my mobile gaming presence; however, Star Wars is a different story. Games take up a lot of storage space on my pc and I am not willing to sacrifice too much storage on my Alienware for games yet).

Decentraland is a very interesting platform in which to game on and somewhat similar to SWTOR. There are so many locations to visit and lots of events being run for different NFT rewards that it is a bit overwhelming for a newb like me who is just starting their crypto journey.


Another app worth mentioning which centers around virtual real estate trades and passive crypto earning is called "Remint". 

As of this post, the app is still in the early stages and you simply open the app and start your mining every 24 hours. Referrals are a huge factor in this app for gaining faster.

 For now, there is no way to withdraw what you have mined in app because the app is still in the beginning stages. You can take part in online Twitter competitions, however, I have not looked into it, yet. I am happy just letting it mine on it's own and waiting to see the next stage in development.

As stated, I am not too familiar with the ins and outs of the crypto world; however, there is great potential to gain from investments made in it, so, it is worth looking into if you are interested in earning through crypto currency. 

My Humble Beginnings In Crypto

What led me to look into it was the fact that a past conversation I had with a family member about online jobs involved how digital goods was making a huge impact in our lives. There are digital downloads for nearly everything you can think of from music to scrapbooking and everything in between. In our conversation, I mentioned how I am constantly searching online for downloadable content that will be of some use to me in one way or another since I am pretty much glued to my 3 main devices nearly 24/7.

The conversation led me to start looking into how to create digital goods that would be of some value to a wide range of people instead of just one particular niche. I am a Gemini, so, I am not good at sticking to a certain niche which is why this site is entitles "NekoKitty's Chaos". Granted, I do not believe in horoscopes or anything remotely related to such topics, but it does seem like my characteristic is in line with that of the Gemini Twins. Hence, my inexplicable need to rearrange my surroundings at least once a year.

The same can be said for my wide range of interests which at present is concentrated on digital goods and crypto games that offer what is known as NFT which stands for "Non-Fungible Token" or quite basically: virtual goods that have real monetary value.

Exploring Crypto Earning Apps

So began my search into many, MANY crypto apps. I stated earlier that there is "DecentraLand" and "Upland" as far as real estate NFTs are concerned. 

I have not looked into too many pc or laptop platforms for crypto earning due to my hoarding of storage space on my hard drive for other purposes, so our focus will be on the mobile Android apps that I have been testing out.

For those interested in dipping their big toe In the swirling depths of the crypto world, but not ready to dive in completely, you may want to experiment with these simple mobile games.

Crypto Dragons, Merge Cats, Royal Crypto and Legends of Listeria

Download Pending For Royal Crypto,       Download Pending for Legends of Listeria

All four are on the Realis network and available for download on mobile. These four are really cute interactive games that takes only moments of your time. 
I am very familiar with Merge Cats and Crypto Dragons which are essentially the same exact game except with different characters.

First of all, in both Crypto Dragons and Merge Cats, you send your characters to run around a racetrack in order to earn in game coins that can be used to buy the in game token called "Lis". In turn, you use Lis to either buy upgrades and special packs in game, or, you can transfer them to your crypto wallet to be traded for  other crypto currency such as bitcoin or litecoin. 

Keep in mind that it takes a good amount of time for your kitties or dragons to collect their coins so you can finish your daily tasks in order to be rewarded Lis.

Once you have at least reached the minimum amount of Lis, you can then proceed to trade for one Ethereum or Bitcoin or another form of crypto.

Those two games do reward you the longer you engage with the game, however, they do offer offline earning as well. Basically, they are really cute "mining" games. They do take a while to accumulate coins which is the same with every app you will come across, but, they are not very demanding at all and do run in the background, even though it is best to actually get in game every once in a while just for the timed bonuses. 

I have yet to look into Royal Crypto, so, I still cannot give any review on it, but from what I can tell, it is more interactive on an actual gaming level. The same can be said for Legends of Listeria, which is still in a Beta phase as of the time of this posting. 

I just downloaded it yesterday and did play a short while, so, the only review I can give on it is that it is an RPG style game that does show some potential. The only thing I could do at this point in game was move my character around and attack enemies with a few different attack abilities. Other aspects of the game are still locked and it doesn't give any tutorial which is disheartening.

I tend to lose interest in a game if there is no tutorial. To me, it just shows that the developer doesn't care about those who have never played a certain type of game before and mistakenly assumes that their app is self-explanatory. 

Hopefully the devs will fine tune Legends of Listeria to be a worthwhile mention that will hold my interest for longer than 5 minutes of running around and attacking with no idea of what the rewards are, but as of now, I don't see myself getting too invested in the app.

Crypto Planet, Crypto Cards, Crypto Treasures, Green Planet and Cloud Earning PHT

Now, if you are wanting some crypto games that offer a bit more entertainment,, you may want to check out these five games. They are all put out by the same developer and all are geared toward being green and helping out the planet in one way or another by not pitting too much stress on your phone.

Green Karma actually helps the environment as far as real world preservation of the rainforests and cleaning up pollution is concerned. 

These games are more interactive than the ones I just mentioned put out by Realis. Each one of these includes mini-games that you can play to earn you extra in game tokens which can be exchanged for their NFT of Phoneum. In turn, Phoneum can be traded for a variety of different crypto currency whether it be bitcoin, doge, ethereum, or other forms of crypto. 

You can also open chests that will give you a variety of rewards in other crypto currency.

The only one in this list that is not an actual game is "Cloud Earning PHT" which is actually an online miner that runs for roughly a week before you have to begin the session again. So far, since I started using the cloud based app, I have to date earned a whopping $.1204 in USD. There is potential to earn faster through upgrading to the VIP platform, however, I am not ready to invest any money into something I am just testing out...not yet. 

These five apps are really in depth as far as showing exchange rates, staking, wallet integration and more. I've found that these are a bit more enjoyable compared to the Realis games due to the mini-games included along with the long term mining, so, gameplay is equivalent to time spent in an actual mobile game such as Warhammer: Chaos and Conquest.

Mining

I have come across six mining apps that are highly ad based (the sixth one not pictured). In order to run the mining process faster, you have to watch an ad for 25% faster earning, then it goes up gradually until you wind up watching a crapload of ads just to get the 100% speed up.


The tasks tab has other ways to earn including a daily check-in bonus.
The "just do this" message seems a bit demanding. I guess the devs got tired of asking politely. 
All of the apps pictured in this section are set up EXACTLY alike, so, opening up Doge or Litecoin mining will look exactly like what I show for Bitcoin mining. The only difference is the name and the background color theme. 
Plus you get the same demanding message of "Just Do This".

These are basic online mining apps with no gameplay at all. They are full of ads as incentives to get you to mine faster.

As far as payout is concerned, I have not reached that threshold, yet since I don't have a crapload of time to waste on watching adds in each app all day.


I've read articles that suggested different ways to make money online. Some of them work out great for some people, while it turns out to be a huge waste of time for others. Case in point: the Current Music app, which I have mentioned before in my posts, has been a mini gold mine for me; however, it has not worked so well for others who have taken my advice and tried it out for themselves. 

On the other hand, there are many articles that suggest such things as IBotta and InBoxDollars as well as SurveyJunkie as great places to make huge amounts of money. My problem is that I rarely qualify for those surveys. In fact, from what I read in the reviews, a lot of people have the same problem when it comes to those surveys. (I especially love the first question that pops up sometimes which asks for you to chose a color out of the four choices: three of which are not colors at all. I choose the ONLY possible color and I get the message that I was disqualified...How in the name of everything worth mentioning does that happen? I am waiting for one that asks my kid's name next and disqualifies me.)

I have found some survey apps that actually are do-able and have paid out at decent times, such as BigToken, and another one I have been trying out Premise. So far, Premise is a legit app that actually pays. I did receive my first payment and am working toward my second one.  

Now, most of these types of apps start out great with many opportunities to gain points fast, but after maybe the first 2 payouts, the opportunities you received in the past tends to slow down until you are forced to either push referrals, or, head to their offer walls for the better payouts, or, in most cases, simply quit and move on to the next "promising" app.

I recently discovered that those offer walls are tailored to your behavior. For instance, I play a LOT of mobile games, so when I go into an app's offer wall, I see a LOT of gaming opportunities for me to choose from in order to boost my points or my cash balance. A friend of mine who had the same app, did not have as many gaming apps. In fact, they were nearly nonexistent in the offer wall through her phone. Instead, she had a lot of survey apps.

So, again, what might work out well for one person, may not work out so well for another. For me, gaming apps just happened to be my "thing". I've played so many, and I do keep going back to my favorites, even though they do not earn me anymore points or money.

Passive Earning Through Data Apps





For the past few years, I have installed and uninstalled plenty of mobile apps in my journey to find the "best of the best" for whatever my individual needs are. My mobile apps range from online gaming to pretty much anything under the sun that is suggested by affiliate marketing "experts" and professional bloggers alike as well as the random apps I run across that catches my attention.

As you probably know by now in your own search of those golden egg laying geese, a lot of these apps will never allow you to quit your full time job since they are designed to draw money in for themselves by keeping the user engaged in the app for as long as possible. 

However, there are a few apps that I have come across that are worth mentioning which takes minimal effort. As I stated earlier, they will not make you rich, but they also do not require you to do much more than simply open the app maybe once a day. It is up to you to decide if you would like to take it a step further and go into some of the more time-consuming tasks for that extra boost in earnings.

DATA APPS:

Mobile Performance Meter



This app is very minimalistic as far as engagement. As soon as you open the app, it will show you a very clean and simple interface which includes your current earning in "Meter Points". As of now, mine shows 1894 points, which is enough for me to cash in for a Virtual Visa Card for $10.00 (1000 Meter Points value); however, I plan on waiting for it to reach at least $25.00 (2500 Meter Points), unless I need a bit of cash right away.

Basically, you get 10 meter points every day without you even needing to interact with the app at all. The app rarely shuts off, but on those occasions when it does stop for some reason or other, you will get a notification that your meter has stopped running. All you need to do is open the app and you are back to earning your 10 points a day.

There is a referral program which will earn you 300 meter points, which is a HUGE boost! So far, I've had 2 referrals go through, which was a pleasant surprise to see. With those 2 referrals, I was able to cash out at least one time already. Presently, I am working on my second payout. I did mention that it would take time, so, again, don't expect to get rich.

The second page is the "Rewards" page which is where you can take part in surveys if you choose to do so. I personally have not taken part in the surveys since I am not a "survey" lover. But, I am sure they do work and pay out the allotted points that is offered. 

The last page is the "History" which shows you all of your actions. Mine shows just daily meter points as well as the monthly ones. It goes as far back as the past 2 months of usage, so you can track your daily earnings.

The rewards program offers gift cards to many, MANY popular stores and restaurants as well as the Virtual Visa Card I mentioned. The only down side is that it does not offer a payment straight to your paypal.


Honeygain



Honeygain is another simple data collecting app that runs in the background. It is also very clean and minimalistic in it's interface and user engagement.

There are only two screens to toggle between: the Home screen which has a very simple interface that features animated beehive with cute little bees flying around it to indicate that the bees are gathering data and another screen labeled "more" which features your transaction history, settings, how it works, and help buttons as well as log out button.

You will want to check the settings every now and then when you don't see your honeygain app as being active on your notification page. When that happens, simply open the app and go to settings where you will need to make sure the "Share Internet" button is flipped back on.

There is an opportunity to "win" a few more points each day...almost like a "log in". The points through the "win" opportunity is random. I was lucky enough to open the win and earn 1000 points. Some days it will be 10 points, others will be 20 or 50.

There are no surveys available, but, this app can be installed on your laptop as well, which helps you to earn more and faster. I have not done the download, so, I can't give a review on how well that works or not. I am still working on my first payout which is likely to happen soon.
Again, it is a slow way to earn, but in all fairness, you literally do not do anything, so again, it is free money.

Lock Screen Rewards

S'More



S'more is another semi-passive earning app which rewards you for opening your lock screen. If you don't mind having ads on your lock screen, then you will be rewarded with 10 points per day when you interract with the S'More screen lock.

S'More does have other ways to earn as well, which includes watching videos, referring friends, downloading apps, playing games, and the good ol' offer wall.

Playing games through this app is really not worth the time or effort since the point value is very low co.lared to other apps such as Mistplay or even Giftloop.  Playing games through Current Music app is even better than S'More. 

I usually just run the lock screen and not bother with anything else, but again, it is up to you if you prefer to put in the extra time for more points.

Current Music App



This is one I mention constantly in nearly every post only because I average $20 roughly every week or slightly over a week depending on how attentive I am and if I decide to take it a step further by doing a few surveys or not.


I LOVE music to begin with and can listen to it consistently through every waking minute, if possible. With so many choices for tailored internet radio stations, it would be impossible to NOT find a station that quickly becomes your constant "go-to". Mine just so happens to be "The Blast" which plays a LOT of Skillet and TFK (Thousand Foot Krutch", which are my favorite bands to date. 
There are so many opportunities to boost your earnings if you are willing to dedicate some effort and time into the app.

It does have it's own lock screen which dominates any other lock screen you may have running, however, it does not interfere with your other lock screens earning potential. In other words, You can have this running along with S'More and other lock screen apps. You may run into issues if you have too many lock screens running, but so far, I had been able to run at least 3 with no problems.

Current pays you in rewards as well in numerous ways and from my personal experience, is the highest paying app that I have come across for minimal effort. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you restart your music app and go through the check in for restarting music streams every hour.

It is also a good idea to make sure to have your phone charging when not in use, because even if it reads 100% on battery life, you still earn points for having it connected to your charger. The cap is 420 charging points, which usually takes 8 hours. The awesome thing is that you can keep the music app running while you are doing other things in your phone (except when playing Warhammer:Chaos and Conquest...then the music app shuts off. It also stops when a call comes through, however, once the call ends, the music will start automatically.)

There are a couple of glitches in the app, but really not so inconvenient that it would affect your earning too much. Nor would it make me so upset that I would ever uninstall or give a bad review, because for one app, it really packs a lot of ways to earn fast in so many ways and is very trustworthy as far as being rewarded and paid.  I may sound a bit biased, but, it is because I've been using this app for over a year now and have earned a decent amount of money through it.

Conclusion

There are many apps to earn passive income through depending on how dedicated you are. We live in an age where there are far more opportunities to make money simply by doing what you love than to be forced into the traditional rat race of a "real world" job.

As with every job, there are benefits and down sides. It takes your personal effort and commitment to getting these apps to work for you. There are many ways to make "passive income" through your laptop, pc, tablet, or phone which include affiliate marketing, blogging, or selling online as well as many other avenues, the opportunities are unlimited and can be done altogether. The important thing to keep in mind is that it WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT as a LOT of online influencers will claim in their videos.

Disclosure

I do not make any money off of these app reviews unless you use my referral codes or choose to check out any affiliate links through my posts. These are my honest reviews of what I have personally put time and effort into for my own benefit and I will not recommend anything that I have not personally tested thoroughly. I will not test an app just for a few hours or a couple of days and shoot out a quick review just to have something fresh to post. It would not be fair to you or the app developers to give a shoddy review.
