If anyone is looking to get some cryptocurrency, I would recommend Crowdholding. They are a platform where you can log in for free, give feedback and responses to tasks and get crypto for your responses. They better your responses, the more of a share you get. They already have DeepOnion, SmartCash and ITT on there. So you can cash out.
