Everyone wants 'passive income' in crypto, but most do it wrong.
You’re chasing 100x memecoins when you should be building systems that pay you for YEARS.
Here’s how to build real passive income streams in crypto... even while you sleep: 🧵👇
I put a lot of effort into these posts and it would mean so much to me to have your support with this knowledge!

1/ Forget quick flips. Think like a brand.
Your personal brand is the greatest wealth generator you’ll ever own.
👉 Trust = money
👉 Reach = opportunities
As your brand grows, so do offers for:
✅ Sponsorships
✅ Ambassador roles
✅ Advisory gigs
✅ Angel deals
✅ Revenue shares
Brand = Wealth. Period.
2/ Master Staking and Yield.
Boring? Maybe. Profitable? 100%.
👉 Stake LSTs (liquid staking tokens)
👉 Look to earn network incentives
👉 Compounded yield on secure, blue-chip assets
Simple examples right now:
- USDC Staking
- $SOL Staking
- $ETH Staking
- $KAITO Staking (short term)
You’ll earn yield while keeping exposure to growth.
That’s the definition of passive.
3/ Provide liquidity on DEXs or Perps.
If you’re confident in a pair, LP strategies (with hedging) can generate consistent fees.
✅ ETH/SOL/Stable pools
✅ Concentrated liquidity
✅ Incentives from protocols
Set it, monitor occasionally, and harvest. Follow high volume tokens.
4/ InfoFi: monetize your knowledge.
In the information finance era, alpha is money.
You can:
✅ Post on InfoFi platforms
✅ Build a newsletter
✅ Monetize deep insights
Quality signals get rewarded. Passive income flows once your audience trusts you.
5/ Launch a tokenized community.
Communities = cash flow.
👉 Paid Discord
👉 Token-gated alpha chats
👉 Trading signals
Your knowledge becomes a membership product.
This is a business. Like anything in life, if people are time-poor or want to learn more, a small fee is worthwhile for that education and access.
6/ Explore validator or node income.
If you have higher capital:
✅ Spin up a validator
✅ Run a node
✅ Share revenue with delegators
Securing networks pays and gives you early access to promising ecosystems.
7/ Content royalties.
Web3 content platforms reward creators with royalties on views or mints.
✅ Short-form
✅ Long-form
✅ AI-generated even
Your content keeps earning, forever.
8/ Angel investing
As your brand and wallet grow, you’ll see founders offering allocation spots.
✅ Pre-seed deals
✅ Advisor token deals
✅ Early equity
Do the research, but being an angel investor in crypto can pay dividends if you stick around long enough.
9/ Trading takes time.
Forget the fantasy of daily 100x trades. Even pro traders compound slowly over years.
👉 Consistent wins
👉 Strict risk
👉 Solid entries
You don't have to trade every day. Compounding is the alpha: trade when the market suits you, step away when the market isn't as favourable.
10/ You don’t need to trade random coins to make passive income: you need to start thinking more critically about passive income.
