Hey crypto fam! Your Bitcoin OG here. Today I'm revealing 6 proven passive income strategies for 2025, all personally tested for profitability. Perfect for hodlers who want to "earn while sleeping".

The secret sauce for 30%+ returns: Quality Bridge = Low Fees + High TVL + Incentives Must-try: Synapse Protocol's nUSD pools

5. Airdrop Hunting 2.0 (Free Money)

2025's rules of engagement: • 3 new protocol interactions/month • 3 on-chain transactions/protocol • 3 dedicated wallets Hot targets: ZK-rollup projects, Coinbase Chain ecosystem
