I've managed to accumulate approximately $1 US of free cryptocurrency this year (unrelated to Steemit). It's been arriving in my Manabase wallet bit by bit in weekly instalments since the first of March. I didn't fill out any captchas or surveys. I didn't have to use 'one crazy trick'. I just signed up and gave them enough information to decide that I was probably a real person. Because that's the concept behind their platform as far as I understand it. As a real person, you are deserving of at least a basic amount of income.
I tried to explain this to a friend recently and I was reminded that not everyone feels comfortable with the idea of people being given something for nothing. I think of it more from the opposite direction: in places all around the world, people without options are doing things they would not do if they had a choice to ensure the survival of themselves and those who depend on them. Some of these things are degrading, life-threatening or just flat out wrong. We're failing as a species if that's a regular occurrence.
Of course, the money I've received from Mannabase so far hasn't improved my life noticeably. I'd be very dead if it were my only source of income right now BUT it doesn't have to remain at a low value. If you think that it shouldn't be as easy as it is for people to slip into poverty/homelessness/starvation, sign up. It's not hard. You could be a billionaire superhero with a secret identity, you could be living in extreme poverty and trying to claw your way out or anywhere in between on the spectrum. It doesn't matter. The more people who sign up and get others to sign up the better. A crypto without users can't get very far and if you receive manna that you don't need you're free to donate it to a worthy cause.
You can visit Mannabase.com to sign up on your own but with a referral link, you'll receive a little more Manna for a year (as will the person who referred you). Here's mine:

I can't promise that Manna will be worth a lot of money but I like the idea and I hope that it succeeds. And I'm not even getting started on the potential for mass unemployment when robots and software take over nearly every job. The world is changing faster than I ever thought it would but projects like Mannabase give me hope that maybe that might not be such a bad thing.

Be careful with this honeypot! Once word gets out you'll have flies for friends swarming your way!
No, but seriously, I am very comfortable about "getting something for nothing" since I don't believe this is the case anyway. Most people would love to work meaningfully and earn their keep. There are very few free-loaders and most of them sit in leather swivel chairs with wide cityscape views.
Amen to that! People want to DO things and having their basic needs covered could open up the world to so much more creativity. Think of the music that could be made, the medicines that could be discovered, the problems that could be solved. I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one.
Dream on! And on, and on....! It's a thinking from the higher self, so perfectly safe to do.
I've been with them for about 1 1/2 years now - when they were called Grantcoin. I tend to forget about it for months at a time until I'm reminded to check. So, you just reminded me and I logged in to check my balance. Amazingly, I've got $177 worth of MANNA in there. Not to brag about it haha, but it's really something that can add up after a while if you just let it go. It's worth everyone's time to sign up.

Now if one manna could be worth about $10, I'd be all set:) It's still a really new feature, so anything could happen.
That's quite a lot more than my $1 lol! I heard about Grantcoin about a month (if so much) before you brought me to Steemit via Simbi (thanks again!) but I didn't sign up until late last year. That would have been close to when they stopped distributions in preparation for the switchover to Mannabase. I totally agree, everyone should sign up. I think Manna would need to be around the $10 - $100 range for the distributions to really help people so if the people behind the project find a way to make that happen over the next few years, you really are set :D
Some time one just don't know which coin may turn out to reach the moon quickly
I guess not. With this one you have nothing to lose by signing up and if it does go to the moon, you have everything to gain ;)
Deep words!!!
You really know how to make everything poetic.
Love your skills @elementm
Vaya amiga, has ganado mucho espero que a partir de ahora sigas con muchísimas mas ganancias, mucho éxito :D
Much success to you too and don't forget to sign up for Mannabase :)
Gracias amigo, y eso haré;)
