Is it difficult to earn 100 dollars a day in the crypto world? This question is like asking 'Is it difficult to earn 500 yuan a day driving Didi?'—it depends on what car you drive, how familiar you are with the roads, and whether you are willing to put in the time.
Do you want to earn a steady 100 dollars every day? That would be 36,500 dollars a year. So:
If you have 100,000 dollars, then you need an annual return of 36.5%. In a bull market, for someone knowledgeable, this is a challenging but potentially achievable goal, but the process will definitely have ups and downs and requires skill and mindset.
If you have 10,000 dollars, then the required annual return would be 365%. This goal is a bit 'fantastical', which means you have to play high-leverage contracts or go all in on altcoins that might go a hundred times or possibly to zero. This is basically gambling, not investing.
If you only have $1000: then... the required return is 3650%. This is no longer investment, it's a lottery. The normal path is completely unfeasible, and the likely outcome is zero.
So you see, the key issue is not that $100, but the phrase 'daily stability.' In a cryptocurrency space that is so volatile, wanting 'stability' is one of the hardest things in the world.
Holding coins (the most worry-free, but you won't earn a 'daily salary') means being optimistic about Bitcoin and Ethereum, buying and holding them. This method is the healthiest; you can sleep at night. But coin prices cannot rise every day; they might drop for a month straight. You cannot control it to 'earn money every day,' you can only wait for the bull market to arrive and see your overall assets increase. So, this path does not match the 'daily salary' goal at all.
Swing trading (a technical skill, mindset easily collapses) means following charts for short-term trades, buying on dips and selling on rises. This requires extremely high technical skills and mindset. You must truly understand it, not just rely on feelings. More importantly, can you strictly enforce stop-losses? Will your mindset collapse after several losses? For beginners, relying on this to stably earn $100 every day is very difficult; the more probable outcome is stable losses.
Trading contracts ('a shortcut' that often leads to zero) with 5x or 10x leverage can indeed allow you to earn $100 quickly. But remember, it can also cause you to lose your $1000 principal even faster. Leverage will not improve your win rate; it will only amplify your mistakes. A slight reverse fluctuation could take you out. This is the most dangerous path among all; it's purely gambling.
Yield farming, arbitrage (like a job, earning hard-earned money) involves participating in project tests (yield farming airdrops), brick arbitrage, and staking for interest. This path is most likely to achieve relatively stable daily returns, but it isn't a way to earn passively.
Like a job: it requires a lot of time to research projects and manage wallets.
There is a threshold: you need to be familiar with blockchain operations, and some arbitrage requires a bit of principal. This is earned through information gaps, execution, and technical skills, which can be understood as 'working' in the crypto world; there are profits, but they are not fixed and can be exhausting.
Those who can truly achieve stable short-term profits are rare; they no longer obsess over a fixed goal like 'how much to earn every day' because they understand the unpredictability of the market.
Be cautious of anyone who says they can help you earn XXX every day. If there really was a strategy that guaranteed profits, they would have secretly taken out loans to do it themselves; why would they need to help you? For your fees? For your principal? Think for yourself.
Change the target, it might be more realistic. Why not replace the obsession of 'earning $100 every day' with:
'How can I first learn to not lose money in the cryptocurrency space?'
'How can I use spare money to learn and aim to double my assets in this cycle?' Such a goal is healthier and can genuinely lead you to learn, rather than diving headfirst into high-frequency gambling games.
If you have a large principal (like tens of thousands or over $100,000), it’s not hard to earn during a bull market. But if you want to rely on a small principal to scrape together that $100, that difficulty is comparable to a professional player, which is unrealistic for the vast majority of ordinary people.
The most practical advice is: take an amount of spare money that won't affect your life if lost, buy some Bitcoin and Ethereum to hold (accumulate coins), and use a small portion of funds to learn and experiment (such as practicing yield farming or experiencing market fluctuations with very little money). Treat the cryptocurrency space as a challenging financial classroom rather than an ATM. Stay calm, and you might be pleasantly surprised.
