Why I DO NOT recommend Money Birds (moneybirds.org)

 Money Birds appears to be a similar ponzi scheme to Golden Farm, but in Russian. If you go to the "Правила" (Rules) section of the website, you can read this:


And if you use the automatic translation tool found at the top to translate it into English, you see this:


Alright, so, according to the translated version, silver is the in-game currency, but you can't actually withdraw unless you get Cash Points. Cash Points are added to the game when people deposit real money (in rubles) to the game. However, depositing one ruble only gives the depositor the right to withdraw 40% of a ruble. Additionally, it also gives the person who referred the depositor the right to withdraw 20% of a ruble, and the person who referred that person the right to withdraw 10% of a ruble, and the person who referred that person the right to withdraw 3% of a ruble. The right to withdraw another 10% of a ruble is divided between all players who have been active within the past 24 hours. 

Alright, so, even if you referred yourself, and then referred yourself again, and then referred yourself yet again (and didn't get banned for it), and you were the only user active within the past 24 hours (unlikely), you could only get 83% of a ruble back for every ruble you deposited. Considering you probably can't get away with referring yourself, and probably won't be the only active user on the website, 40% is a more realistic figure.

Now you could theoretically earn rubles if you never deposited everything and just relied on referrals and other people on the website to make deposits, but you'd be earning at other people's expense, hence the ponzi scheme problem.

If you want to find a site that's actually good for earning cryptocurrency, please see one of my reviews and guides:

For a way to spend a little of your cryptocurrency (or not, if you choose to use the free version) while doing activities other than using crypto-earning sites, see my Windscribe review. Please remember not to use Windscribe while using crypto-earning sites. Windscribe is a VPN. However, it is useful for other purposes, like keeping your politics private from your ISP.
