Earn Opportunity

Getting into cryptocurrency is easier than it’s ever been. 10 years ago the only way someone could really get their hands on some BTC was to set up a mining rig on their computer or to find someone online willing to sell P2P. Today earning cryptocurrency is one of the go to methods for newcomers to the space. One of my favorite ways to earn crypto is by shopping online using the Lolli extension. Lolli is a “cash-back” rewards company but gives its users the chance to earn it in BTC. They have partnerships with over 1000 retailers and offer rewards back as high as 20%.
