Coinbase
Earn crypto rewards by learning about blockchain
Overview
Coinbase is one of the world's largest and most regulated cryptocurrency exchanges, available in the UK. For beermoney purposes, its 'Learn & Earn' programme is particularly attractive: watch short educational videos about specific cryptocurrencies and earn small amounts of that crypto as a reward — typically worth £3-10 per series.
Beyond Learn & Earn, Coinbase periodically offers sign-up bonuses when you buy or trade a minimum amount of crypto (e.g., buy £100 of crypto, get £10 back). These offers are time-limited and vary.
It's worth noting that Coinbase is FCA registered in the UK, which provides some regulatory oversight. However, cryptocurrency investments carry significant risk — prices can fall dramatically. The safest beermoney approach is to complete the Learn & Earn offers and immediately convert the earned crypto to GBP and withdraw.
Coinbase charges fees on trades (typically 1.49% for standard buys/sells), so factor this in when calculating net rewards from bonus offers requiring a purchase.
