I made a video yesterday to address the question, what do I do if I just want to have a mess about with cryptocurrency without committing any money to it? Now that's a challenge...

Normally you would have to buy some crypto and then mess about with it knowing that you could lose it but just accepting that potential outcome upfront. You see there really is a problem with cryptocurrency for those that have never used any, had any or, most importantly, moved any around. 

It can be a little frightening, especially as people like me keep banging on about making sure you don't put the wrong address in and so on, when you move the stuff around. So it would be great if you could acquire some for nothing (well apart from a little bit of effort) and then use that to move around and practise with, right?

It is those nervous people, most of all, that I want to try to help, if I can, with this video.  

Having said that, the information in the video might also be useful for old hacks that have been wandering around in cryptoland for a while. It is quite possible that they don't have an account with the organisation mentioned in my video and therefore haven't come across this. Or maybe they didn't give this aspect a second thought.

So, I figured, how about if I made a short video showing you how you can get hold of $30 or so of crypto at no cost? There's a little work involved to get the account but no financial cost. And, in crypto terms, this is an account with a Blue Chip organisation. And you never know. I have acquired small amounts of a particular crypto in the past that absolutely exploded in value.

Well, that's the video I made, just take a look:
