How A Health Scare Changed My Routine
I have always had a very busy schedule, and perhaps that has played a part in the recent health issues I have been experiencing. This has encouraged me to adopt a new discipline of walking 4 to 6 kilometers every day. With all the walking apps out there, I decided to find the best way to monetize this activity. After all, if I am going to be out on the road and in nature, I might as well monetize it without any additional effort. That’s always the goal.
There are many new metaverse-oriented apps, but most require users to make purchases. There are also quite a few apps that appear to have dwindled and are no longer active. The best options available still appear to be those that I am already quite familiar with. I have seen a lot of these walking applications come and go. Very few have any lasting value. However, it’s also important to note that these apps can only produce a trickle of passive income.
This is precisely why I prefer building a stack of passive income apps. Individually, the rewards may be small, but together they create a much more meaningful passive income stream. They all add up to a more meaningful result when combined. A single app may earn $0.05 per day, and another $0.30, and so on. Some will be far more significant than others. However, that does not mean one should avoid or ignore smaller earners, such as movement-based applications like Coin and similar ones.
The sMiles Walking App: Fast Lightning Bitcoin Rewards
One app I introduced to my readers some time ago is sMiles, and it continues to pay reliably without glitches or withdrawal delays. What is really great about this application is that users can generate free BTC for the steps they take and can cash out within days of using the service. Withdrawal limits are usually quite high for BTC withdrawals unless the service or application uses FaucetPay. Because sMiles utilizes the Lightning Network, these inconveniences are removed.
There is no processing time or approval required. The payment is processed instantly and will be reflected in your Lightning wallet immediately. I previously used “Wallet of Satoshi” but am now using Exodus Wallet. Exodus recently added the Lightning Network, enabling users to hold up to $ 1,000 in a Lightning wallet. The sMiles app also has other features such as cashbacks and a faucet. Speed Wallet is also an excellent Lightning wallet, free to download.
If I remember correctly, downloading the app does require an invitation code. If you want to add sMiles to your arsenal of free passive earning apps, then you can make use of the following code – (PrintBTC783). An important point to remember is that you will need to open the app once every 24 hours to be rewarded for your steps. There are also alternative earning opportunities within the app such as faucet-type claims and surveys.
The Sweat Walking App Explained
Strangely, I couldn’t find any decent newer apps that operate similarly to sMiles and Sweat. Yes, as mentioned earlier, STEPN, Calo, and others look rather impressive, but they all require in-app purchases. Sweat is actually on the brink of releasing its token as a true crypto to be traded on exchanges. I am not sure I like this idea, as the price might collapse, which would simultaneously reduce earning potential. Currently, 100 Sweat is equivalent to $1, making it a built-in stablecoin.
A couple of great features are daily bonuses, which usually amount to 2 or 3 Sweat, and the daily “double points”. For 20 minutes each day, users can earn double rewards for steps taken during that time. Start the timer when you are about to be at your most active to double your earnings. Sweat also has a really impressive UI, which also adds to its legitimacy.
Another Great Option: Hive’s Actifit
There were several other apps that I managed to find but appear rather questionable. Many stopped posting on their various social media platforms in 2020, which is a massive red flag for me. I have downloaded a few, largely because the rewards are in BTC, but I will not share them, as I am not sure they are still legitimate. When it comes to passive apps like walking apps, there is not much to lose, so I will see what becomes of them.
Another viable option is Actifit on the Hive blockchain, which rewards users with two cryptocurrencies. Firstly, HIVE and AFIT, Actifit’s native currency. You will have to stake a minimum amount of AFIT tokens to qualify for rewards. Furthermore, posting your daily activity on Hive will also earn you additional rewards. In fact, this is primarily where the earning opportunity lies, as these posts receive upvotes that sometimes amount to multi-dollar valuations.
Final Thoughts
So, if you are looking to monetize your daily steps passively, then these two apps are the most legit and trustworthy in my opinion. A bonus is that they are free to use and will ultimately earn you extra crypto. I find these types of applications very attractive, as they require no maintenance. That is why I will always download apps like Honeygain. Generating BTC without daily work, 24/7, is not something to be sneezed at.
Regardless of how much or little, if it’s passive, it can’t be a waste of time. The concept of the incentivized economy is to set up as many passive income streams as possible, regardless of the size. Thanks for reading! All the best, and as always, keep stacking that crypto and ignore the noise!
