Opps to stack up on crypto for the Brave

Easy opportunities to stack up on crypto are all around us. We just need to make some small changes and adapt our use of certain apps and services to take advantage.

Take the Brave browser, for example, and its Basic Attention Tokens (BAT).

As an everyday Internet browser, it works great and I have been happily using it for a number of months. I previously used Chrome and so, given their similarities, the switchover was no problem (I actually use it with duckduckgo.com as my search engine as a token effort to help reduce Google's beady-eyes on me!).

Not only does Brave offer additional securities, including ad-blocking, it also offers users the chance to earn BAT tokens in return for viewing ads.

Your precious attention is rewarded under this new Internet browsing model.

Now here's the thing - I have mentioned the Brave browser to many people (including family) and yet I still see them using Chrome, Firefox etc....

Aargh, they are missing out on the chance to stack up on a (potentially hugely valuable) crypto currency in return for doing nothing more than what they do already = browsing the Web and viewing ads.

One browser pays you to surf (Brave) while the others don't. Why is this a tough decision?!?

I did actually notice that a relative of mine is using Brave and so has started accumulating bat tokens. He's still young and so he might just find that he's sitting on a nice little nest egg in years to come...

Or, he may end up with a useless pile of digital tokens....

But the point is that it costs him nothing to use this browser instead and to carry on browsing as he would have done anyway. So why wouldn't you?

The world of cryptos offers so many opportunities just like this so it seems silly not to adapt and take advantage of them.

We may be very glad that we did in years to come (or be kicking ourselves!).

Are you using Brave? If so, how are you finding it?

The crypto you earn on brave is for rewarding to sites you go to, correct?

I don’t seem to be getting rewards when I click on their ads on my phone :-\

Yes, you set in brave how many ads you want to see per hour (max of 5) and then when you click on the ad notification, you get bat tokens - you can see how many bat tokens you have by clicking on the 'brave rewards' or from your brave homepage.

You can 'tip' sites (including twitter users) with your bat or withdraw it and cash it in like any other crypto, although the intention is for you (mainly) use it to tip others

Absolutely love it. Plus I love tipping people from Steem on Twitter too.

BAT and Steem are literally, the only 2 coins I 'use' every day now.

Yes, I agree. These are the only two blockchains that I actively 'use' on a daily basis too

This one definitely comes in the no-brainer category - I've already accumulated c $70 worth of BAT through Brave.

Great real-life example, thanks for sharing
