Everyone loves getting free stuff and the same applies to getting free cryptocurrency. Whether it from completing social media tasks to get that airdrop sent to your wallet, retweeting some projects promotion on Twitter or playing with Faucets to get micropayments every hour.

First Some Background History

In 2018 the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase bought Earn.com in a deal worth more than $120 million. Earn.com was a U.S. startup that used the blockchain for its paid-email service. 

Coinbase then appointed co-founder and CEO of Earn.com, Balaii Srinivasan,  as its first CTO. While the rest of the Earn.com staff was to transfer over to the Coinbase team.

In December 2018 Coinbase launched Coinbase Earn, a similar concept to Earn.com. You got paid in Bitcoin for completing tasks and receiving emails. 

Around February 2019 Coinbase officially closed down Earn.com and requested all account holders withdraw any Bitcoin held in their account be transferred to their Coinbase account.

I had a small amount of Bitcoin sitting in my Earn.com account which I had been unable to withdraw. Now with the option of withdrawing to Coinbase I could finally get it out. Just needed the market value of Bitcoin to reach a certain level, so the value of the Bitcoin in my Earn.com account would reach the minimum withdrawal threshold of $US2.00. The lengths some people will go to Stack Sats.....

This is what I received for watching one of the 3 educational Ox videos. Yes it was only $US1. But Coinbase Earn in conjunction with their sponsors have since increased the amounts you are able to earn up to $50/52 per digital asset.

How to get the FREE Orchid (OXT) tokens

Coinbase Earns latest series of educational videos is about a utility token designed for use on the Ethereum blockchain-based Orchid peer-to-peer open marketplace for buying and selling VPN bandwidth. 

There are 2 methods of earning the free Orchid (OXT) tokens.

#1 Use the referral link   https://coinbase.com/earn/oxt/invite/79g6whyq  and you do not have an existing Coinbase account.

#2 Use the referral link  https://coinbase.com/earn/oxt/invite/79g6whyq  and you already have an active Coinbase account.

Method #1

Using the referral link takes you to the following page where you are invited to join Coinbase Earn. You will need to click on Create an Account and follow all the steps to create a Coinbase account. It is a relatively quick and easy process these days. It took my wife 10 minutes to create and get her account verified. You will need one form of identification and your address needs to match what is linked to the identification. As you are not buying cryptocurrency you will not need to add a credit/debit card.

Once your Coinbase account has been verified. Login in and on the Home page scroll down to the bottom of the page till you see Earn free crypto with Coinbase Earn  banner. Click on the blue button Earn crypto.

Click the blue button Get started.  Depending on demand at the time you may get put on a waitlist. I have found that referrals generally don't have to wait as long existing customers. It usually is about a 2 day to 2 week wait. They are meant to send you an email advising you are now invited but that doesn't always happen and I would advise you check regularly by logging into Coinbase and go to the Coinbase Earn banner on the home page.

Lesson 1 is a short video that explains the Orchid is aP2P privacy tool. After you answer a simple quiz at the end. Ka-ching you receive $US4 of OXT.

Lesson 2 is a short video explaining how you use Orchid. After you answer a simple quiz at the end. Ka-ching you receive $US4 of OXT.

Lesson 3 is a short video explaining how Orchid keeps your data private. After you answer a simple quiz at the end. Ka-ching you receive $US4 of OXT.

Now the bulk of the amount of Orchid you can earn is from referring 4 other people with your referral. Click on the blue button Earn $40 Orchid.

Your referrals can be new or existing customers. You can invite more than 4 friends or people in your networks but only the first 4 referrals will count. You can use the Share  button or you can just copy and paste the referral link.

Note: It has been noticed that new Coinbase customers don't have to wait as long on the magical Waitlist as existing customers have to. This makes sense, as it is in Coinbase's commercial interests, to give preference to enrolling new customers.

Note: Also once you have become a verified Coinbase customer you can still use the same person referral links for other cryptocurrency educational videos.

You just use the referral link to take you to the login screen. 

For example: 

EOSIO is a protocol designed for fast and free blockchain apps. Learn how it works and you can earn $US50 EOS.

Stellar is a platform that connects banks, payment systems, and people. Learn how it works and you can earn $US50 XLM.

Method #2

Using the referral link  https://coinbase.com/earn/oxt/invite/79g6whyq  takes you to the same page as in Method #1 but as you are already an existing Coinbase customer you just need to click on Sign in to Coinbase. Once you have logged in,  you scroll down to the Coinbase Earn banner on the home page. Then just follow the rest of the steps as described in Method #1.
