The Crypto Based Browser

Brave is a privacy focused company that is integrating blockchain technology and zero knowledge proofs in order to fix digital advertising. And in doing so, they are making a killer browser.

Basically, they unGoogled Chrome, added a blockchain, and pay you for your attention.

Just using and downloading Brave is a great idea, but pair that with Coinbase Earn.

Coinbase Earn

In case you haven't heard, Coinbase is giving you crypto to learn about crypto. If you learn about Brave through Coinbase, you get $10 of BAT (Brave's crypto). How cool is that?

Further, if you watch videos on:

• Zcash, you get $3 of ZEC
• 0x, you get $3 of ZRX
• Stellar, you can get $50 of XLM (yes $50. $10 is all but guaranteed, and $40 depends on how good your friends are)

It takes maybe 5 minutes per crypto. $3 may not seem like a lot, but that's an additional 7 STEEM power =)

But Wait, How Does that Add Up to $72?

This is how you can maximize your crypto:

1. Create a Coinbase account - $10

• If you already have a Coinbase account, maybe it is time to sign up your wife =)
• Pro tip: I used my referral code for my wife and it was rejected. Something about coming from the same IP address or whatnot
• The above link is my referral code. So If you use it, we both get $10 of BTC
• If you create a new account, you need to buy $100 of some crypto. This will incur a fee of about $4, but you earn $10 for doing it. And there is more to come
• If you use an instant transfer method, you can just send the $100 back to your account after

2. Go to Coinbase Earn and Join the Waitlists

• If you use my Coinbase Earn, I get $10 of XLM (only up to 3 people though)
• It takes about a day for you to get accepted on the waitlist

4. Watch Some Videos and Earn Some Crypto

• Zcash - 3 videos, $3
• 0x - 3videos, $3
• BAT - 3 videos, $3 - Get Brave, $7
• Stellar - 5 videos, $10 - Referral Program, $40

Further, you can use Coinbase Pro to trade all the crypto with much reduced fees. Then you can send everything to Binance and convert it to STEEM =)

5. Have Your Wife Sign Up and Teach Her About Crypto

• Dinner conversations won't be as one-sided
• Refer your Wife to Coinbase Earn - Get $10 in Stellar
• Get another $26 from videos
• If she creates an account, that's another $10 =)

Summing it Up

So there you have it. I love what Coinbase is doing with Coinbase Earn. Incentivizing people to learn about Crypto is a really good way to get people to learn about crypto. (Coinbase Earn is restricted to only the US. If you still want Brave, however, see here)

Just watching the videos and getting Brave nets you $26. You could always convert this to STEEM (about 60 of them), or just be happy with the extra cash. If you sign up your wife, partner, or good buddy, then that is an additional $26 plus an additional $10 for referring through Coinbase Earn and possibly $10 from a Coinbase referral.

The Brave browser alone is a great idea. Getting $72 for it is even better. The entire process takes about a day, but it's worth it.

Cheers!
