Whether you are a serious investor or someone who is just dipping their toes in, there are many crypto summer activities you can do to keep you busy.
Some of these can be done outside, while others are activities to be completed on your computer. No matter which ones you are interested in, keep reading to learn all about summer activities to do with cryptocurrency!
8 Summer Activities with Crypto
1. Take a Summer School Course
The world of cryptocurrency is constantly changing, and in order to keep up with new developments, most universities offer a summer blockchain course. This course can give you insight into the world of blockchain and business, as well as some sneak peeks into the implementation of AI.
Be sure to start your search with local universities, and if there isn’t one near you, consider Harvard which has recently started offering a small selection of classes for free to all people, even those abroad!
2. Start Yield Farming
We have spoken about yield farming numerous times on this blog, and if you still haven’t looked into it, it is 100% time to change that. Yield farming is one of the few ways to gain a passive income utilizing the cryptocurrency you already have on hand.
While the specific tokens and platforms that will allow you to yield farm vary, be sure to choose one that is reputable and aligns with your values as an investor. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
3. Throw a Crypto Pool Party
Thanks to cryptocurrency credit cards, and the number of vendors who now accept crypto, you can absolutely throw a cryptocurrency party this summer. Whether you need to rent a pool or you happen to have one in your backyard, be sure to order all of your décor from a website that accepts crypto!
While you likely can’t order the food and drink for your party online just yet, if you are an Amazon Prime member, you are one of the lucky few who can! Thanks to Amazon’s partnership with Whole Foods, you can get the best of the best (in terms of food or drink) delivered right to your door. After all, there is no party quite like a crypto party!
4. Make a Fitness Bet with Friends
Summer is the time to get in shape (especially if you are planning your very own cryptocurrency pool party!), so text your closest friends and challenge them to a bet they won’t be able to resist!
Start by getting a new wallet where you all place a small amount of crypto into (we recommend yield farming with this crypto while the bet is going on, or choosing ETH and staking it!). Then, state the terms of the bet and ensure everyone agrees. For example, you could all plan to lose 20 lbs. by the end of summer, or perhaps lose a certain percentage of body fat. Either way, have everyone agree and then the bet begins!
If, at any point, an individual in your group no longer meets the terms, he or she forfeits their portion of the bet. Then, the last man standing receives all of the amount in the wallet, or the amount is split by those who complete the bet successfully.
It is important that you trust everyone you are undertaking this bet with, as all will have access to the wallet with the winnings. If you are undertaking this bet with individuals you don’t fully trust, then consider locking the crypto within some sort of dApp on a decentralized platform. (Note that there are many centralized apps which allow this, but finding a dapp might be more difficult!)
5. Take a Crypto Vacation
Have some time free from work this summer? Then it is time to consider a cryptocurrency vacation. Not only are there numerous websites that allow you to book your vacation entirely in cryptocurrency, but there are also numerous locations around the world where you can pay entirely in crypto. Meaning you won’t even have to dip into your bank account to enjoy a week away! Learn more in our Booking a Vacation with Crypto article.
6. Read a Crypto Book
With daylight lasting longer, you now have time in the evenings to sit on your porch and enjoy a cryptocurrency book. Not only does reading actually help your body physically relax, but it also will help you learn something!
We recommend reading broadly about cryptocurrency, because it is very hard to find a book about a specific topic that isn’t already outdated. Feel free to check out our list of Books about Crypto to get started!
7. Game with Crypto
Whether you love to gamble or prefer just to use crypto to play your favorite video games, gaming with crypto is a fun summer activity that you can do from your very own home! Check out a cryptocurrency casino like MintDice.com if you prefer to gamble, and head on to a metaverse gaming site like Axie Infinity if you prefer to game. Either is an excellent use of your additional summer free time!
8. Attend a Cryptocurrency Event
Blockchain is fast becoming one of the most talked-about technologies. No matter your industry, it is a good idea to see if there are any cryptocurrency or blockchain conferences in your area!
Not only can a cryptocurrency event be a fun use of your time, but it can also introduce you to like-minded people. And you never know when you might just hear about a technology that can take your life to the next level!
Overall, summer fun doesn’t just end when you start your adult life, and if you love crypto, there are so many things you can do with it this summer! Some of these things are educational, while others are just fun. If you thought of something that isn’t on this list, let us know!
