As said by our unofficial king @akshaybd, “Earn your first crypto, don’t Buy It.”

And that’s what Cash Landing would be all about, a series of meetups helping you EARN crypto by investing time&talent instead of capital.

Speaking of earning opportunities in crypto, there’s no other place like superteam earn - The BEST place to get started

For instance, a $20K Moonshot Grants Program is live to fund devs working on tracks like infra, consumer apps, and research.

Which is just one of many grants
