YouGov

YouGov logo YouGov wants to know what you think. Your opinions matter. So much so that they will pay you for them.
It is their opinion polls you hear on the BBC, and others. You may have already heard of YouGov, especially around election time.

There are other paid survey sites, but YouGov has outlived them all, and pays consistently within a few business days (once the payout limit is reached and requested).

And, yes, you'll even get a nice little top-up of £2 per referral once they complete six surveys.

YouGov specialises in market research and opinion polling through online methods. The company's methodology involves obtaining responses from an invited group of Internet users, and then weighting these responses in line with demographic information. It draws these demographically-representative samples from a panel of over 8 million people worldwide. ~ Wikipedia

Bitcoin savings accounts

A lot of people don't realise that Bitcoin savings accounts exist. They are what you would expect from normal savings accounts: you deposit an amount of Bitcoin, and you receive an interest rate.

The crucial difference, at time of writing, is that fiat savings accounts are offering practically nothing, but Bitcoin savings accounts are still offering attractive interest rates.

Savings Account Interest Rate Minimum Deposit Fees* Notes
4.08% 0.0003 Includes games, lotteries and a
7.572% 0.0005 Also offer LTC, DOGE and DASH savings accounts, and MN & POS hosting. Higher rates offered with SCC masternodes.
*Normal Bitcoin processing fees apply

This has a tax advantage in the U.K., and possibly in other territories. Gains in Bitcoin are treated as Capital Gains. With a fiat savings account you pay income tax on every interest payment. With a Bitcoin savings account you don't pay any tax until you liquidate. So you can effectively “re-invest” your interest payments without paying tax on the amount multiple times. C.G.T. is usually preferable in the U.K. as it works out cheaper for the investor, but this depends on your personal circumstances.

Correct at time of writing. Always do your own due diligence. Caveat emptor. Links use the author's referral code. Last updated 20/8/2020.
