Video overview: Who ACTUALLY Makes Money In Crypto? (I Ranked Them) is a curated crypto airdrop video selected from Jesse Eckel for AirdropBuzz readers.

I rank the top projects that actually make real revenue in crypto. The result was surprising not only because of the projects I didn't expect to make the list but also because of the major projects that don't even register on the list. Some are making more than $100 million a year. Several are doing hundreds of millions. And a few are operating at billion dollar scale. But ranking them turned out to be much...

What to check before acting:

  • Confirm the project URL from official sources before connecting a wallet.
  • Use a fresh wallet for testnet, quest, bridge, or points-farming tasks.
  • Never share seed phrases, private keys, exchange logins, or OTP codes.
  • Review token approvals and revoke unnecessary permissions after completing tasks.

Quick start

  • Follow the on-screen steps from the video with a small test amount first.
  • Complete mandatory quests/tasks before optional boosts; take screenshots of key confirmations.
  • Track eligibility dates and snapshots; revisit if rules change.

Tips

  • Bookmark this page to revisit updates or reward timelines.
  • Use a hardware wallet or a fresh address for new protocols when possible.
  • Check gas/network fees before claiming or bridging.

Safety

  • Avoid signing blind transactions; read prompts and simulate when your wallet supports it.
  • If something feels off, stop and verify with the project's official channels.

FAQs

Is this the official link?

When are rewards distributed?
Each project sets its own timeline. Watch for snapshots/announcements and keep proof of completed tasks.
Can I follow on mobile?
Yes - just ensure your wallet supports the network and that you have enough funds for fees.

I rank the top projects that actually make real revenue in crypto. The result was surprising not only because of the projects I didn't expect to make the list but also because of the major projects that don't even register on the list. Some are making more than $100 million a year. Several are doing hundreds of millions. And a few are operating at billion dollar scale. But ranking them turned out to be much harder than I expected. Because in crypto, “revenue” can mean completely different things. A protocol might generate hundreds of millions in fees while keeping only a small percentage of it. A company might be enormously profitable without appearing on any crypto dashboard. And a project can build a fantastic business while its token captures almost none of the value. So I dug through the numbers and tried to answer one simple question: Who is actually making money in crypto? In this video we look at: • The biggest revenue-generating crypto businesses • Which projects are already making $100M+ annually • The surprising companies that barely appear on crypto dashboards • Revenue vs. fees vs. actual profit • Which crypto businesses have documented profitability • Why huge protocol activity doesn’t always mean huge revenue • How much value actually reaches token holders • The emerging crypto sectors quietly becoming real businesses • And the companies at the very top of the ranking Some of the names were obvious. Others genuinely surprised me. Keep in mind this is just my personal take and what i'm doing with my personal money, not investment advice. ----------- THE OBSIDIAN COUNCIL PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP The Obsidian Council Premium Membership Is CLOSED Join The Waitlist: ---------- THE NEVER DIE NEWSLETTER Signup For The Never Die Weekly Newsletter: --------------------- AFFLIATE LINKS: Stoic Meta AI Strategy: My Favorite Hardware Wallet: ------ SUBSCRIBE: Subscribe: OTHER PLACES I'M AT: Twitter: ️ Farcaster: -------- *IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: None of this is meant to be taken as any form of investment advice, it's just me sharing my journey to a million and taking about what I'm up to and the strategies and tactics I'm using to try to get there. I am almost always talking about tokens that I myself own and obviously have a bias toward seeing them appreciate in value. Do your own research always! I'm a normal guy who makes mistakes and has made plenty so far during this journey. So choosing to blindly copy what I'm doing isn't going to lead you to just making a ton of money. I've had investments where I've lost EVERYTHING. I don't just say do your own research as a legal covering but because you really need to do your own research and make your own call. If you don't understand what you're investing in you can lose A LOT of money! Especially in crypto which is super super risky. A lot of the projects I like to jump in are really small crypto projects which make them even more insane risky. Past performance doesn't mean the project will do the same thing in the future, no one can predict the future and what will happen next. I'm pretty passionate about this, I am by no means a professional investor. I'm on my journey to a million dollars, I don't even have the experience to have made a million dollars. All this is to share my journey because I believe there is value in watching me both succeed and fail. It's my story I'm sharing with all of you, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH and don't just blindly copy me Also all of this info might be accurate at the time of me recording and posting but in the future things could change. Especially in crypto things change fast, so just be aware of that. Thanks! I hold investments in the tokens I'm talking about unless I otherwise state I don't. Best just to assume that if I'm talking about it, I own it. My Disclosures:
