Can you exchange your daily steps for free Bitcoin? The Japanese lifestyle app BitWalk offers users a way to earn money by exchanging their daily walking steps for Bitcoin.
(Bitcoin’s downward trend may be halted by the outflow of GBTC funds for three consecutive days, according to analysts at JPMorgan.)
In recent years, Japan has seen an increase in “ポイ活” (point activities), which are applications that allow users to earn points for their daily activities, such as completing tasks, daily check-ins, and even earning money by walking. This article introduces a popular and long-standing Japanese app called BitWalk, which has recently launched a Chinese version.
What is BitWalk?
In simple terms, BitWalk is an app that allows users to earn Bitcoin by walking. The main function is straightforward – users accumulate steps and can exchange them for Bitcoin. There are also additional features, such as predicting the rise or fall of Bitcoin the next day and spinning a wheel to earn more BTC.
Exchange steps for Bitcoin:
After opening BitWalk, users can accumulate steps every day (250 steps can be exchanged for BTC, with a daily reward limit of 50). Users can choose to directly receive BTC or watch advertisements to earn more rewards.
Predict Bitcoin prices the next day:
Users can earn rewards by predicting whether Bitcoin will rise or fall the next day.
Spin the wheel to win Bitcoin:
By watching five videos daily, users have a chance to spin a wheel and win a certain amount of Bitcoin each time.
Once you complete the daily tasks, the system will send mBTC (one-thousandth of a BTC) the next day. Users can check their accumulated Bitcoin and its current value at any time. Once they accumulate 0.2m BTC, they can withdraw it.
However, before that, users need to provide their personal contact information, phone number, and wallet address as instructed by the official. Although the official claims not to charge any fees, users should pay attention to the minimum deposit threshold set by the exchange and be careful with the withdrawal process.
How to register for BitWalk
Downloading and operating BitWalk is simple. Users can download BitWalk from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Download BitWalk.
2. Install Google Fit (to record walking steps).
3. Log in with your Google account and allow BitWalk to access your data.
4. Accumulate stamps every 250 steps to exchange for Bitcoin.
5. The BTC earned each day will be distributed the next day, and the amount will fluctuate based on advertising revenue and Bitcoin prices.
How does BitWalk make a profit?
As we know, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. So, how does BitWalk generate profit? It is reasonable to speculate that BitWalk’s main source of revenue comes from advertising fees paid by advertisers. Additionally, the user’s collected step data may have other commercial uses. The official has not provided a clear explanation on this matter, and it is still unknown whether they will continue to offer Bitcoin rewards in the future. However, if you are interested in earning a small amount of Bitcoin painlessly, it may be worth considering.
