Things that you can do with your hard earned crypto

crypto market

Crypto is a shortened version of cryptocurrency, which is a type of online currency that’s unregulated and is used to trade, invest, and make purchases. Many people are under the impression that all that crypto’s good for is investing, but that’s not true. In fact, there are many different things that you can do with cryptocurrency outside of investing, from gambling to buying groceries.

If you are interested in crypto or currently hold some, then this post will tell you about a few things that you can do with yours.

Gambling

It doesn’t really matter what crypto you hold; you can gamble with it. Cryptocurrency casinos offer a broad range of games, with everything from ethereum blackjack to XRP poker. Gambling is one of the best ways to spend your crypto because the games offered on crypto websites usually have very favourable odds. If you are fortunate enough to own a virtual reality headset, then you can enter a virtual 3D crypto casino that’s used by other people like yourself. If you don’t own a VR headset and will be using an ordinary gambling site, then you need to select the site that you are going to use carefully. A good way of finding a site is to conduct a little research online, read reviews, and find out what other gamblers have to say on forums and in chatrooms. Always make sure that the site you are using takes its security very seriously and has an SSL certificate, too.

Transfers

If you hold cryptocurrency, then you can always transfer it to your bank account using a payment processor, or your chosen trading platform’s withdrawal feature. When you withdraw crypto to your bank account, you usually have to pay a withdrawal fee. The fee that’s paid is usually minimal, although can be high depending on the payment processing service that you use. Try to find a processor that will allow you to make a withdrawal with the lowest fee possible, so that you save money. After all, what’s the point in earning crypto and then losing chunks of it in fees?

Payments

If you have a payment processor that you use to send money to friends or even clients, then you can use crypto in place of your nation’s fiat currency. You can send crypto directly using PayPal for example. The crypto will be converted into the recipient’s fiat currency upon receipt. You can also, of course, send the crypto directly to a wallet address. If the person that you are sending money to is involved in crypto themselves, then it’s a good idea to send them crypto directly, since it’ll save both of you money.

Shopping

You can now use your crypto to purchase items on the internet. For years, people have been desperate to see this happen, and now their dreams are finally coming to fruition. More and more shops are starting to accept crypto, including grocery stores, clothing retailers, and electronics dealers. You will likely have to make purchases using prominent cryptos, however, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. It’s highly unlikely that shops that accept crypto will allow you to make any purchases in, say, Doge. Always double-check the store’s crypto policy to confirm what currencies they expect before taking items to the checkout.

Investing

Investing is a popular way of spending (and earning more) crypto. Unfortunately, investing can be very risky, which is why you need to take some time to do some research and learn to invest properly first. A lot of people rush into crypto investing, which can be an extremely bad idea. You need to study it first, familiarise yourself with it, and then develop a trading strategy. The crypto markets can be very volatile. Amateur traders without a plan tend to lose a lot of money, very quickly. If you are going to trade, then also make sure that you find a high-quality platform to use.

Holding

Lastly, if you hold crypto, then why not continue holding it? After all, holding crypto is the best way of making money from it. The people who were fortunate to buy Bitcoin in the early 2010s and hold it until a few years ago became millionaires. If you buy crypto and hold onto it, then you could make a fortune. You do need to research the currency you are using, however. Try to find a currency that is stable and likely to increase in value, like Ethereum for example.

Crypto is one of the internet’s most popular money-making solutions, traded by people from all over the world. If you currently own crypto, then as this post shows, there are many things that you can do with yours.
