ZEBEDEE (ZBD) — Earn Bitcoin Using The Lighting Network⚡️

Cryptocurrency has been a hot topic over the past couple of years. The more people understand why cryptocurrency is important, the more people will want to invest. With rising costs of everyday goods and tensions growing worldwide, finding extra money to invest is becoming difficult. The next best thing is to find platforms willing to reward you in Crypto for your attention.

I stumbled upon something exciting that’s stirred my interest in crypto even more, especially the Bitcoin Lightning Network. There are loads of platforms out there promising to help you make money with crypto. Majority of these platforms either do not pay or do not pay you enough. Well, ZEBEDEE isn’t just another one of those. It’s like they’ve cracked the code on how to make earning crypto as fun as playing games. I’ve been checking out ZEBEDEE for a while now, and I have to say, this platform has some serious potential, maybe even big-league potential. So, get ready because, in this article, I will be going over what exactly ZEBEDEE (ZBD) is and how it works. Plus, I’ll review their games and some cool tricks to earn more while having a blast. Let’s uncover the future of play-to-earn.

What is ZEBEDEE

ZBD started its journey in 2019 thanks to Simon Cowell and is based in Hoboken, New Jersey. It’s not just any earning app — it’s got a lot going on. Think of it as a place to store your Bitcoin with its Lightning wallet, a spot to play games and make some “cash,” and a cool space to connect socially. I am a person who likes the apps on my phone to be organized based on what the app is used for. I have folders for games, social media, Blockchain, etc. ZEBEDEE is becoming an app that can fit into all of these categories. Watch out, Elon Musk. There might already be an everything app in the works.

If you're new to cryptocurrency, you might be scratching your head about the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This network was introduced in 2016 when Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja unveiled their Lightning Network white paper. By 2018, it was up and running and released to the public. The Lightning Network allows quick and cheap transactions using the Bitcoin Blockchain. How? By doing transactions outside the main blockchain on a different network that sits on top of it. This clever setup means you can make lightning-fast transactions without shelling out big bucks.

Now, ZEBEDEE adds an exciting twist to the mix. It allows you to earn satoshis (fractions of a Bitcoin)by playing games, hanging out on social media, and even taking surveys.

In the next section, we will explore the lineup of games and apps that ZBD offers and break down just how much dough you could be raking in.

ZBD Games/Apps

Over the past few years, ZBD has expanded its game lineup that lets you earn. Let’s dive into some of my favorite games/apps ZBD offers.

Satlantis

My absolute favorite in the ZEBEDEE collection has to be Satlantis. It’s a Minecraft server with a twist — it runs on the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Everything in the game is worth some amount of sats. If you’re into both Minecraft and Bitcoin, this is where the magic happens. I was so excited about Satlantis that I wrote an entire article about it. Yep, “💰Earn Bitcoin Playing Minecraft 🎮” is the title, and it says it all.

Bitcoin Miner

Right next on my list of faves is Bitcoin Miner, another gem from ZEBEDEE. It’s a pixelated tapper game that puts you in the shoes of a mining farm creator. It might sound simple, but trust me, it’s a straightforward yet satisfying way to earn and have fun simultaneously.

Wheel of Trivia

Have you ever thought you could earn while testing your brainpower? Well, with Wheel of Trivia, you can! It’s the lone trivia game available now where you can pocket some sats (a fraction of a Bitcoin). The questions range from super easy to some keep Google handy questions. Wheel of Trivia also has a daily jackpot wheel you can spin every 24 hours. You have a chance of winning 3 to 10,000 sats! I have won the Max one time so far.

Balls King

Who’d have thought using balls to break blocks could be so rewarding? That’s the essence of Balls King. This game is a blast and can earn you a decent amount of sats daily. And if that’s not enough, there’s a wheel you can spin once a day for a chance to snag anywhere from 3 to a whopping 10,000 sats, just like Wheel of Trivia. I’ve hit the 10,000 sats jackpot not once but three times in this game!

Fountain

Imagine getting paid to listen to podcasts. That’s what Fountain is all about. It’s the only podcast app that rewards you with sats just for tuning in. With a wide range of awesome podcasts, it’s a sweet deal. Not all podcasts pay you sats, but sometimes, the knowledge you gain is worth more than any digital currency.

Vestly

Last but not least, there’s Vestly. This app merges learning, taking calculated bets on Crypto, Stocks, and NFT projects, and earning. It’s a nifty way to boost your understanding of blockchain and cryptocurrency while “pocketing” some sats.

ZBD has a large library of games and apps you can choose from. I tried to cover my favorites and the ones I found most rewarding. To see all of the games ZEBEDEE offers, check out their website or download their app and check it out yourself!

Apple App Store

Google Play Store

PlayTime (New)

A new addition to the ZEBEDEE lineup is PlayTime. PlayTime is a dedicated section within the ZEBEDEE app that hooks you up with games you can download and earn Bitcoin by diving in. Now, these games are upfront about needing tracking permission from you. Why, you ask? It’s so they can keep tabs on your progress within the game. Like when you hit a certain level or conquer a particular challenge in the game.

The more you advance in these games, the bigger your earnings can be. In fact, with some of these games, you can rake in over 50,000 sats!

Many people do not like allowing apps to track them, which is understandable. If you do not want to allow tracking, ZBD has multiple other ways to earn, which we will review later in this article.

ZBD Social (New)

This is hands down the most exciting aspect of ZEBEDEE so far for me. ZEBEDEE has linked up with Nostr. Nostr is a social hub with a twist — it’s all powered by the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

Right now, ZEBEDEE social is invite only. I’ve got a treat for five lucky folks — five invites ready to roll. Drop a comment, and you might snag a ticket to a growing community full of amazing individuals who are all about zapping your posts, provided you’ve got something cool to share. A zap is when you send someone a little (or a lot) of your Bitcoin holdings. Iphones do not allow zapping on Nostr apps but are allowed in ZBD. So, if you are a Nostr user who uses an iPhone and is tired of being unable to zap your favorite posts, ZBD might be something to look into.

The Future of ZEBEDEE

ZBD’s journey spans just about three years, but let me tell you, it’s been a rocket ride of growth. It’s like there’s something new to explore practically every month. And let’s not forget, this isn’t just about game time. ZBD has expanded its horizons — you can earn through social media using Nostr. This decentralized, open-source social media flips the script and returns the reins to the creators. You do not need to go far if you want to learn more about Nostr.

Tips and Tricks

Every day, there’s a shot at pocketing a nice chunk of change from all the goodness ZEBEDEE brings. Now, I’ve got a couple of sneaky moves that help me maximize my earnings, especially regarding a couple of my all-time favorite games from ZBD. I’m spilling the beans on these tactics for each game right here. And hey, if you’ve got any of your own special tips and tricks, don’t be shy. Drop a comment and share the wealth of knowledge!

Vestly

Every 24 hours, you can claim something called a sat stack. This allows you to claim anywhere from 10 sats up to 1000 sats. I claim at the same time every morning to earn the most. Vestly also has a Learn to Earn section in the skills section of the app. You can easily earn a couple hundred sats a day answering these questions. So remember to claim your sat stack daily and answer all the questions in your Learn to Earn section to earn the most out of Vestly.

Bitcoin Miner

Bitcoin Miner allows you to reset your mining rig every 20 minutes. This allows you to be able to claim more sats throughout the day. At the top right corner, you will see a money symbol. Click this button and then click sell. Doing this as often as possible throughout the day can earn you around 500 sats daily.

Wheel of Trivia + Balls King

Every 24 hours, you can spin the jackpot wheel in both earning apps. I suggest spinning each wheel around the same time every day. Most of the time, you will earn the lowest amount, three sats, but you also have the chance to win up to 10,000 sats! I have won the max amount (10,000) 4 times so far!

Slice (Earn Bitcoin Browsing the Web)

Slice opens up a pathway to earn while doing what you usually do — browsing the web or catching some YouTube videos. When you start with Slice, the first thing on your list is snagging the Slice extension. This little tool is your ticket to the good stuff. It lets Slice slip in some ads while you’re cruising the web or watching videos.

If you’re curious and want to know more about Slice, check out my article “addslice.com — Earn Money Watching YouTube videos.” This was one of my older articles/videos. I will be working on a fresh video all about Slice in the near future.

What can you do with your Bitcoin?

Once you’ve stacked up some sats, you’re likely wondering what you can do with your sats. The truth is, you’ve got many options at your fingertips. I’ve got a handful of personal favorites to share, but the possibilities regarding Bitcoin and its use cases are endless.

Cashapp — Cashapp is an easy way to cash out your Crypto so you can earn it. This is a great option if you are in a squeeze or want to enjoy some of your earnings.

Buy gift cards — You can buy gift cards on the Satlantis server using your earnings.

Hodl — Save for the future. We all know where Bitcoin is going.

Final Thoughts

ZEBEDEE is still in its early stages, growing stronger each day. Among the number of earning apps, this one stands tall in payouts. If you try ZBD, please drop your thoughts in the comments and let everyone know what you think. If you’re intrigued by the whole cryptocurrency scene, but your wallet isn’t quite ready for an investment, diving into the earning game might be your golden ticket. After all, there’s no harm in exploring something fresh.
