ZoneBitcoin EditorialIt’s true that I talk about it a lot. But, it is a project that I personally find very ethical. In any case, I am convinced that it will be a hit in a while.
If I decided to tell you about Brave, it's because you can make money with it. But, above all, it's because I deeply believe in the project behind it!
Yes, see below the benefits of Brave and you will understand my “love” for this wonderful project!
Famous designers behind Brave
First of all, the Brave browser was co-founded by the inventor of JavaScript and Mozilla. This shows to what extent the value of Brave is also supported by the notoriety of its co-founders. This is also why during theICO from Brave, they raised millions in less than a minute.
In fact, the goal of Brave and BAT is to reduce ad view fraud. The goal is to share advertising revenue as fairly as possible.
What is the current situation? Today Google has 80% of the search engine market share. This means that almost all searches are done via this search engine. But the problem is not there. The problem is Google Ads and all these advertisements that bombard us all day long.
Whatever we look for, whatever we search for on the internet, everything is used to show us advertisements. However, advertisements are always more vicious. With re-marketing and other predatory techniques, we have become pure consumer products.
Without further ado. But, this is where the browser comes in Brave!
It is no longer the big groups who will make money but the consumer too!
Yes, and we wonder why it didn't exist sooner!
The Brave browser allows you to monetize the attention of consumers who will be paid. Yes, you understood well. We will pay you for the ad views you watch. We will pay you with BAT, which is indexed to bitcoin.
Put an end to old school advertising
Online ads and advertisements are harmful, right? Ads are even the real nuisance on the internet. Ads are intrusive, distracting but...it keeps the economy going. It is in fact the economic lifeblood of the web as a whole. Most activities continue on the internet thanks to advertising. It’s even a business model of most blogs. Even us, on ZoneBitcoin, it is advertising that allows us to survive. Basically, if we remove advertising, you will not be able to access 3/4 of the blogs you consult and even this article, you would not be able to read it…
In other words, advertising is awful but we can't really live without it.
So how do we do? How can we improve or make advertising healthier?
Because this advertising system is currently ruining the internet. Many people use adblocks. In short, sites even become unreadable because of multiple ads. We needed to think seriously about this problem of online advertising.
🙂 You can download Brave and start earning BAT.
What needs to change with advertising today
When the internet started, yes more than 20 years ago, ads were very weak. There were only occasional banners here and there on a few major media sites. Today is wild madness. And, again, things have calmed down in recent years.
I remember about 5 years ago, advertising so massive that there were blogs with banners that covered the entire site!
But, the fact remains that we still have a lot! Too much! Advertising has become more intrusive, more vicious. There are wallpapers, pop-ups, Facebook advertising. Even, our reception cock is full of emails. Even now, you can't even play a game quietly without being harassed by pompous advertisements. Same on youtube!
In short, it's madness.
But that's not all!
Should I tell you about re-marketing?
You know it. On the internet, we are tracked, followed, chased. The most rotten of all remains without discussion Facebook which places pixels everywhere on the sites so that they can follow our behavior. No matter what you do, there are trackers everywhere watching you. They know everything about you. And, the worst part of all this? It’s simply that it’s the norm. Fortunately the new GPDR regulations may put an end to all this, but it doesn't change much.
The worst? You are the one who accepts all of this
Yes, that's the worst. We agree by saying nothing. We even pay to have ads harass us. Besides, you know that every time you click on a site on your smartphone, there are dozens of trackers that analyze your every move?
Every time you click on a page, you unknowingly pass through data management platforms and big data verification services etc. This is what makes the pages slow down. It takes time to track you. Of course, it is the addition of all these charges that makes it a cost. Indeed, this consumes data and therefore your battery.
Brave’s Blockchain to save us from advertising
Finally! I'm coming! But, I absolutely wanted to show you the context. I also wanted to show you that advertising is a real problem, not just a fad.
Thus, the founder of Brave, Brendan Eich So he decided to take it on. He wanted to create, with other members, a system of "decentralized digital advertising exchange". He wanted more transparency and above all more justice.
It was naturally thanks to blockchain that he wanted to create such a system. Imagine a system where you are no longer attacked by advertising. But, better yet, you can even get paid through advertising. It's huge, right?
In fact, there are two different but complementary elements. First, there is the browser Brave as you understood. This browser ensures you block trackers. Moreover, you will see in the browser each time you go to a site the number of trackers that have been blocked.
You also see how much time you saved reloading pages.
You'll see, it's just amazing!
The advantage of blocking trackers is that you have cleaner browsing. Your privacy is preserved. Above all, Brave is faster. Yes, Brave is 8x faster than Chrome and Firefox.
In fact, this argument alone would be enough to get many more people using Brave.
And, now, let's move on to what you've all been waiting for!
How to make money with Brave?
Want to know how users can get paid using Brave?
So that’s the second element of Brave. (I know this is the part that interests you the most, venal that you are).
In short, know that the Brave browser is supported by an accounting unit based on a Blockchain Ethereum. This unit of account is called the Basic Attention Token (BAT).
You are therefore paid in BAT. Every month, a payment is automatically made to your account. Just as you can help bloggers, for example, by giving them BATs.
How does advertising work with Brave?
As I said above, it's not about removing advertising, but about improving it. Thus, people who activate advertising on Brave earn 70% of the revenue for each view.
What to do with the BAT paid into your account?
You can keep them on the UpHold wallet or you can either transfer them to your wallet Coinbase who accepts them too.
You can therefore also exchange them on Coinbase or on Binance for euros.
You can also pay them to bloggers or YouTubers who you like. A sort of Patreon yes.
In short, you earn money for once by being both an actor and author of the advertisement.

There you go, I hope I was very clear on the subject of Brave, the browser that allows you to earn money by browsing the web. I hope to have explained to you how it works and the key issues behind this crazy but realistic project.
A craze shared by recognized companies
Recently, to test the Brave platform and its advertising token. Dow Jones Media Group joined the company. This gives even more value and above all solidity to the Basic Attention Token (BAT).
In April 2018, the two entities announced their alliances. They will therefore pool their skills to improve the blockchain. There, we see the meeting of digital advertising and that of media publication. Why are we telling you about this alliance with the Dow Jones Media Group? In fact, you should know that this group manages enormous advertising agencies such as that of the Wall Street Journal and MarketWatch. This means that they will try BAT on their advertising formats.
Additionally, other major groups will join. It is the Guardian and Vice which will become the next verified publishers on the brave platform. You can imagine that with these big names, others will follow soon.
Yes, it could be huge! Huge for the value of the BAT and for its financial strength.
(It may be time to invest in BAT by buying it on Coinbase for example).
In short, after this long article, which I hope will have been very useful to you.
