This is the second post in a series focused on talking about some of the most important concepts in the world of cryptocurrencies. If you haven't read the first post yet and don't want to miss anything, I invite you to read [A beginner's guide to crypto investment strategies](https://dev.to/kommitters/some-cryptocurrency-investing-possibilities-56m1) first.

***WARNING
The content that will be next shared is pure informative based on my analysis and opinion. If Passive income is of your interest, you should investigate them further.***

## Why should we be interested in passive incomes using cryptocurrencies?

One of the ways to generate passive income with traditional banking entities is the [Certificate of Deposit (CD)](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/certificateofdeposit.asp), this in countries like Colombia, this can generate [profits between 6 and 7.25% interest](https://www.rankia.co/blog/mejores-cdts/4121148-cuanto-gana-cdt), a little more than the inflation of 5.62% that this country had for 2021, so we could say that in this case, the traditional CD only serves to avoid losing money due to inflation. Passive income with cryptocurrencies [can generate returns of more than 15%](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/7-ways-to-generate-passive-income-with-crypto), which means that we can actually generate income with our savings.

## Anything to keep in mind before investing passive income?

Passive income with cryptocurrencies can be attractive, however, we should at least consider the following information:

- **The currency selected to make the investment:** if we want to have a more controlled environment, the best thing we can do is invest using stablecoins, since the investments depend on the fluctuation of the selected currency.
- **Find a reliable platform to invest in:** in the crypto world there are many projects whose goal is to scam, before investing, we must verify that the platform that we select is reliable.

## **Some ways to generate passive income**

### **Crypto lending**

Also known as crypto loans, it is a type of financial relationship between two parts: the lender and the borrower (the debtor). It consists of the temporary delivery of money or properties to another person or entity in order to make a certain investment, with the commitment to get a reimbursement with their respective interest. Some platforms where we can do Crypto lending are **[Blockfi,](https://blockfi.com/) [Celsius Network,](http://celsius.network)** and **[Youhodler](https://www.youhodler.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwiuuRBhBvEiwAFXKaNJgrIJ_CrQKudPz72ncNgdWXfvcg-le2q1IZGYP6MX-UoFmAHTVMjRoCpEwQAvD_BwE&gclid=CjwKCAjwiuuRBhBvEiwAFXKaNJgrIJ_CrQKudPz72ncNgdWXfvcg-le2q1IZGYP6MX-UoFmAHTVMjRoCpEwQAvD_BwE).**

### **Staking**

It is defined as "Guarantee Funds", it is a saving system in which the owner has his cryptocurrencies in a wallet or smart contract, obtaining a percentage of passive guarantees, just for keeping them stored there**.** One option for stacking is **[Binance Savings](https://www.binance.com/en/savings).**

### **Trading Bot**

It consists of computer programs created to define the purchase or sale of currencies at a given moment. Some of these are: **[Bitsgap](https://bitsgap.com/)** y **[Pionex](https://www.pionex.com/en-US/sign/ref/YK0RTfit).**

### **Copy trading**

This investment method is based on copying the investments made by an experienced trader. Normally we have the chance to copy the operations automatically or manually.

When a trader allows others to copy their own investment strategies, they receive rewards for the profits generated.
