The amount of poor advice in this thread is staggering.

In my opinion, the easiest way is to invest in the first 5 currencies from the top.
Yeah, don't do this. You'd probably still make a profit overall, but only because the profit you make from bitcoin will outweight the massive losses you make on the other coins. You'd be much better just sticking to 100% BTC, or maybe a little bit of Ethereum as well. There is absolutely no point buying XRP, BCH, or BSV - they are all centralized scam coins, the first designed to make profit for the banks, and the latter two designed to make profits for their lying creators.

If possible and have at least 18 years you can try join some airdrop who ask kyc like blockchain wallet will have some airdrop next month
Again, don't do this. Airdrops are almost always completely worthless, and they certainly aren't worth the risk of having your identity stolen because you sent all your private details and pictures of your IDs to some stranger on the internet who will probably put your details up for sale on the black markets. Your privacy is worth a lot more than a few cents worth of some trash token.

There are also application add ons that are use to earn some token by installing or watching ads.
This is frequently how people get their coins stolen - by installing some unknown and shady app, add on, browser extension, or the like, which promises them free coins by using their computer to mine, or display ads, or set up a referral network, etc. Many of these programs are malware in disguise, and are capturing your screen, logging your keystrokes, altering your clipboard, or trying other methods to break in to your wallets and accounts. Don't use them.
