At present, there are more ways than ever to accumulate crypto tokens without the need to purchase them, whether it is from mining, airdrops, or for performing various actions.

Even though mining can require substantial initial and upkeep resources, it is a great opportunity for those looking for a passive income, instead of large profit margins right off the bat. Airdrops, on the other hand, are oftentimes very easy to get involved in, albeit for smaller rewards and can be a good way for entry into the world of cryptocurrencies.

Creating A Passive Income With Crypto Tokens

Making your first steps into cryptocurrency by earning tokens through various activities can be quite a thrill. With more than 10 years since the creation of the first - Bitcoin (BTC), plenty of people use it to create a passive income for themselves through trading. The same applies to some of the richest owners of crypto - so-called “whales,” who earned their fortune either through skill or by early entry and things went in their favor.

Naturally purchasing significant amounts of tokens carries an inherent risk for many crypto users. Fortunately though at present there are more ways than ever to accumulate tokens without the need to purchase them, whether it is from mining, airdrops, or for performing various actions.

Even though mining can require substantial initial and upkeep resources, it is a great opportunity for those looking for a passive income, instead of large profit margins right off the bat. Airdrops, on the other hand, are oftentimes very easy to get involved in, albeit for smaller rewards and can be a good way for entry into the world of cryptocurrencies.

Considering that not all tokens are mineable and not every project does airdrops it can sometimes be difficult to have a decent entry into the token of your choosing. Fortunately, Dentacoin (DCN) is one exception to this, by providing a way for users to generate tokens for themselves by using the tools within their ecosystem. Calling it mining or an airdrop is a tad bit too far, but the model is somewhere right in the middle between these two definitions. Let’s review what this dental-related ecosystem has to offer:

"Mining" The Dentacoin Ecosystem

Dentacoin Trusted Reviews - is the first platform for detailed, verified and incentivized dental treatment reviews, users are rewarded for leaving verified reviews of the dentists they have visited, listed on the platform. To leave a verified, or “trusted” review patients must be invited by their dentists and confirm their identity via a blockchain-based system. They can leave a text-based review, or a video one, which will earn them even more Crypto tokens. On the other hand, the dentists benefit from this by receiving valuable feedback they can use to improve their practice, as well as spread the word of their excellent service.
