Yes, there are better ways to make money from crypto, than just holding long term.
Yield farming means that you earn daily interest of sorts on your holdings, almost like staking. But, be wary of something called Impermanent Loss and risks of exploits on little-known coins.
So far, in maybe a year's worth of research, DRIP.community has been the only one that has consistently paid me a passive income. I have written a lot about DRIP and there are many articles out there too.
But, I wrote an article "A to Z: DRIP for Newbies" specifically for people that are new to it, so maybe look for that as a start.
Just as an example, it pays me 1% of my deposit daily. That amounts to a CONSISTENT 365% Annual Percentage Rate of return ... unheard of in centralized finance like banks and money markets. Anyway, do some research on it, be aware of the risks of loss as with any investment.
If you happen to have any questions about anything I've written, feel free to leave me a question or comment. :)
Thank you for reading!
