Its never to late to start a portfolio in CryptoCurrency. For those who don't want to risk there hard earned fiat currency on the countless cryptocoins, there are many other options.
The option I am gonna talk about today is a service called a faucet. A faucet is a name given to a website or app which gives away free crypto coins. Most faucet sites allow a user to claim their free coins by providing a payment address and completing a Captcha puzzle. These faucet sites usually have a set amount of time before you can claim again. Almost all the faucet site have ads this is how they can supply you with cryptocoins.
Sending very small amounts of cryptocoins is generally not a good idea. The faucet owner would have to pay a transaction fee every time they sent a payment.Most faucets will hold your coins until you reach a certain threshold, or use a microtransaction service such as CoinPot to do so on their behalf. It is therefore common for users to have to make multiple visits to a faucet before they can receive a payment.
So the first thing you will need to do is get a micro-wallet. I use CoinPot it works well with most of the faucets I will explain below. There are many others but I have not tried any of them.
The next step I took was to also get another wallet that is local to my computer. I use the program Exodus. Exodus is a desktop multi-asset wallet with ShapeShift built in. ShapeShift allows you to trade any leading blockchain cryptocurrency for any other.
So my strategy is, I use CoinPot and once I reach a certain amount I will move the coins over to Exodus. In the future, after I start trading cryptocurrency I will move larger amounts of coin for savings and storge to a Hardware wallet like KeepKey. Hardware wallets are much more secure for long-term storage
So without further ado, I will list the current cryptocoins that I use a faucet for.
