In my review of Celsius.network I mentioned as the only point to improve the availability via mobile app only. Guess what was announced today? Yes, the Celsius web app. As written on their blog, it was just launched today and looks pretty good. Give it a try. I have to update my review in the meantime….
Coinbase got some slots to earn free SKL coins from the SKALE Network currently. If you answer the quiz questions correctly, you can earn SKL for around $3. Wort to give it a try on the Coinbase earn crypto site.
If you need help with the questions, check out our little helping site here.
Good luck.
BTCClicks.com is another free bitcoin faucet site paying mBTC’s to view their clients ads. It got standard and premium memberships, offers to rent referrals and more to earn more then a standard user. And it works actually pretty well in my experience so far after testing it for a couple of weeks.
BTCClicks displays ads from their paying customers to present it to you as a bitcoin receiving viewer of the ads. Depending on how long you have to view the adds the more Satoshi’s you will get booked to your account. This can be anything from 60 to 180 seconds; 1 ads will get at the point of writing around 0.00001 and about 0.00003 mBTC. From your dashboard you go to “Surf ads” select the ones you are interested in or pay most and the ad will open up in a new tab/window of the browser. BTCClicks starts counting down the seconds, a captcha shows up, currently a small calculation, enter the result and you get the mBTC’s booked to your account. Once you got 0.10000 mBTC you are able to withdraw to your wallet immediately. Make sure you login latest after 45 days, otherwise your balance is getting reset. Back to zero (as I found out the hard way….).
If you will get a premium member of BTCClicks – which cost currently 0.27 mBTC for 90 days – then you will get doubled mBTC’s per ad. The same for your referral rewards.
BTCClicks offers also an affiliate program, with various referral methods. Some of them are paid, which I will not go into further details. Straight forward option is using direct referrals: If you are using my links from this article, you will be a direct ref feral as example (thanks for your support).

As outlined earlier on I am playing around with some platforms. Coinbase being the newest one I tried. They offer training videos where you can learn about various coins and earning a bit of the coin by answering some quiz questions correctly. For some you get 3$, for some more.
To double-check your answers I started collecting the answers for the various questions where I was not put in the queue. More answers to follow.
You can find the answers I collected so far here: Platform Coinbase – Earn crypto quiz answers
Although I haven’t been active for a while on my site, things moved on quite a lot in the crypto currency universe. Really a lot. Beside the new highs of Bitcoin, lots of new coins, many new platforms were founded, known ones grew further, Coinbase is now listed on NASDAQ and much more….
As I got some time currently, I started playing around with some of the old and with some of the new players on the market and like to share my experiences I collected using them.
I started using the Celsius app where I started documenting my experience on this page: Celsius. Teaser: I really like it, despite being not really an app-only supporter.
More to come.
Have you ever wondered how much bitcoins the big wallets on the blockchain contain? In the below link, this is exactly what you see:
https://bitinfocharts.com/de/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html
Yes, that is over a billion USD with the current rate in the 1st wallet. Quite some asset. Most likely the big wallets are the cold wallets of the exchanges where they store securely the coins of their customers. Unlikely that this is a single private person owning so many coins. On the other hand we don’t know; perhaps one of the early adapter that started mining many years ago?
Anyway, still pretty interesting link.
Checking currently coinmarketcap.com, Bitcoin reached a new all time high way over 5500USD; currently it shows it as 5626.48USD for a bitcoin which is an increase of about 9% compared to the last peak. Roughly 75% more then what the rate was a little over a month ago. Hope you all invested back then.
Reasons behind it are speculated by analysts to be the expected technical change that will be implemented later this month with the upcoming fork of Bitcoin Gold; like it was done with Bitcoin Cash end of August, to spread the digital currencies even wider. Although if you look at the current rate of Bitcoin Cash, which is 321.08USD right now, we have to see, if that plan will work out to be successful.
The Bitcoin price hit over $1500 in the last days which is a new all time high for the crypto currency. Reason for it? That is the big unknown currently and probably everybody would be interested in. It could be that Bitcoin is getting more attraction also within mainstream medias and hence gains in popularity. Although rumors on various sites go more in the direction that Bitcoin acceptance is rising, as further countries intend to regulate digital currencies. Examples like Mexico, India.
This obviously gives a boost to all the (cloud) miners as the outcome of their investments is much more worth then before. Hope you are also one of them. Some of them are celebrating it with special offers. This is what I spotted so far:
If you got more special offers, please let me know. Happy to list.

If you will get a premium member of BTCClicks – which cost currently for 90days 0.0081 BTC – then you will get more Satoshi’s per ad, and also more referal reward then a normal user. As example a click reward for a 20s ad for a standard user is 50 Satoshi, for a premium user it is 100 Satoshi.
BTCClicks offers also an affiliate program, with various referal methods. Some of them are paids, which I will not go into further details. One of these options is the direct referals option, which works as known from other sites:
BitLendingClub.com sent a message to all of its clients the other day where they stated that they have to close their doors due to regulatory pressure in 2017. This is the message they sent to all customers:
Dear Customers,
We’ve worked extremely hard to build a platform and a community which is uniquely positioned to provide the Bitcoin ecosystem with a greatly needed service. However, over the last year or so, the regulatory pressures has been increasing to the point that it is no longer feasible to maintain the operation of the platform. We are regretfully announcing that we will have to begint terminating the services effective immediately. Of course, we will maintain some minimal functionality in order to allow our existing users to repay their loans and withdraw their funds.
What Functionality Will Remain?
We will restrict the functionality of the website to either repaying a loan, depositing to repay or withdrawing funds. There will be no new registrations, loan requests, verification of new users, investments or anything else. Just repaying of the existing loans or withdrawal.
When Will The Service Become Restricted?
We expect to begin restricting the functionality sometime next week. We don’t have a specific date, but we will send out an e-mail when the change occurs.
How Long Will The Platform Remain Operational With Restricted Functionality?
The platform will remain operational with the limited functionality for 30 days after all loans are either repaid or written off (i.e. they have defaulted and are written off). After that we will be terminating the services completely. The expected termination date is approximately August 2017. it may be earlier or later, but that’s subject to change.
How Long Do We Have To Withdraw Our Funds?
Users will be able to withdraw their funds up to 30 days after the last loan is repaid or marked as written off. We will completely terminate the platform 30 days after the last loan is repaid or written off. We recommend that you begin withdrawing your funds immediately.
Again, we’re extremely sad to be delivering this news, but that’s the reality of operating a business in the Bitcoin ecosystem. There are regulatory pressures, which make business extremely difficult and we have always done everything possible to be compliant with regulators. Given that we’ve reached the point where it is no longer feasible to run the platform and be compliant, we have decided to terminate the platform.
Best Wishes,
The BitLendingClub Team
So what does that mean for you as an investor? Pretty simple: Monitor your investements and as soon as they are paid back make sure to claim your money back and look for further investment options. Either invest into other platforms or use for further mining.
