Learn and earn.

If you have an old cpu sitting around or a couple of spare parts put together a mining rig.

Monero can be harder, yes to get your hands on for newbs but OGs move it around like butter on bread.

Retoswap, haveno, monerica, man the list is endless. They all have people to trade with, jobs, bounties, postings and more if you wanna go hard.

It really all depends what you like and how ambitious you are.

Mining is one of the easiest ways but it cost power and equipment.

I love infrastructure, independent systems and ops. I probably have one of the rarest fleets around for an at home miner.

But for me Monero isn't about money it's about what it stands for.

I guess what I'm saying.

I stack out of pure fucking PASSION!

Asking is the first step.

You got a computer. You can earn. Check out the Monero Mining thread here that I'm building or there is deeper versions online as well to poke at. Gupax does make it super simple though.
