Hey GD, have you ever wanted to be paid just for browsing the internet?

Sounds too good to be true I know, but I found something interesting today worth looking into. I watch an independent journalist on Youtube named Tim Pool, and he is actively researching the happenings in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency markets. As many of you probably know, Bitcoin and Etherium both have taken mighty leaps in USD value in the last month, and seem to be steadily rising still.

This brings me to a specific company referenced in his video about a company utilizing the Etherium market, a web browser/ developer called Brave (https://brave.com/ ). The upside of this browser is the fact that it was designed with an integrated ad blocker. It was built to block ads, malware, trackers, you name it, and runs anywhere from 4 to 8 times faster than Chrome. There are a few white list features you can use to let certain data through, or to still bypass ads but donate a small portion of Etherium to the website, so they can receive revenue directly from you rather than the ads themselves.

But the potentially juicy bit is a future update in which you can white list ads on certain sites if you opt-in, and receive a portion of the revenue in Etherium for yourself, which of course you would then be able to transfer back into USD later. The potential benefits of the browser seem pretty nuts, and I haven't honestly found any downsides yet.

All that said, I am anything but an expert in cryptocurrency technology, so there is a lot to go over. I though I could at least link the page to you all and see what you think.

Again, the explanation of the browser and the download link can be found here: https://brave.com/
