It all depends on what type of risk you are trying to hedge against.\n\nPhilosophically speaking, Bitcoin is an asset outside of government control, federal reserve manipulation, and/or individual ownership.  It would seem that Bitcoin should act independently of the traditional financial system.  However, recently we have seen many examples that don't entirely support this claim.  So what is going on?\n\n \nWhen Does Bitcoin Act As A Safe Haven?\nSystematic Risk:  The best use of Bitcoin as a hedge would be to protect against overall systematic risk.  Specifically, the collapse of major world currencies like the US Dollar, Euro, or Chinese Yuan.  In 2008, during the Great Recession, trust in the US dollar was severely weakened and people around the world began losing confidence in its value. In other words, there was fear that the US Dollar may collapse.  It is situations like this that people will look to a non traditional asset class like Bitcoin as a safe haven hedge.\n\n \nWhat About Bitcoin As A Safe Haven Against Inflation?\nInflation is quietly and consistently eroding the value of the US Dollar.  A good economy can only hide the erosion for a while but eventually there will be enough erosion to cause major problems.  In other words, Inflation is eventually going to lead to systematic risk.  Bitcoin was specifically created to avoid this kind of erosion and will be an asset that people will be able to use when traditional financial systems cannot be trusted or relied upon anymore.   \n\n \nA Couple Examples Of When Bitcoin Has NOT Been A Safe Haven...   \n1)  Coronavirus:  Last week the stock market crashed hard for 3 days in a row, and took almost every other asset class down with it, including Bitcoin.  So why didn't Bitcoin act as a hedge against a crashing stock market?  This was a black swan event that didn't directly threaten the perceived value of the Dollar.  In other words, the stock market crashed because it was clear that productivity was going to be impacted, not because people thought the Dollar is becoming worthless. \n\n2)  US - China Trade War:  In 2019, the trade war between the US and China caused a drop in stock market prices.  Bitcoin prices also dropped.  Why?  The trade war impacted the stock market because the cost of importing/exporting goods was going to be impacted in the marketplace, not because people thought the Dollar was weak or in trouble.\n\n \n\nAnother Reason Bitcoin Hasn't Behaved Like A Safe Haven...\nInvestors are still the largest purchasers of Bitcoin.  Therefore, when the stock market goes up, or down, the investors that hold Bitcoin respond accordingly.  They are trying to make profit...not keep their money safe.  \n\n \n\nConclusion       \nBitcoin provides a safe haven alternative that most people don't know they need yet.  It is a great hedge against systematic failure but not necessarily against normal market corrections.  Many investors can see the value that Bitcoin offers, while the average person blindly trusts the traditional financial system.  On the surface, everything seems to be working well, but underneath the surface there is dangerous erosion to the foundation called inflation.  When the time comes for major financial collapse...Bitcoin will be there as a safe haven.  \n\n \n\nRecommendation: \nIf you, or someone you know, is just beginning with Bitcoin please consider purchasing my \"Simplify Crypto\" training program for $9.99.

      "body": "Have you ever been asked... \"Is Bitcoin Still A Good Investment?\" or \"Have I Missed My Opportunity With Bitcoin?\"   \n\nThe answer is: You have missed AN opportunity but not THE opportunity.     \n\n \nLet's Start By Looking At The Total Value Of The Stock Market, US Dollar, And Gold...  \n(Stick with me here...following numbers may be a bit boring but will provide you with a very valuable insight.)   \n\nStock Market: $90 trillion globally \n\nUS Dollar: 1.5 trillion us dollars \n\nGold:  $9.24 Trillion (@ 1650 oz X 5.6 billion troy ounces)  \n\n \n\nNow...Lets Imagine That Only 5% Of Money Moved From These Markets Into Bitcoin.\nStock Market:  5% of $90 Trillion = $4.5 Trillion \n\nUS Dollar: 5% of 1.5 Trillion = $75 Billion\n\nGold: 5% of 9.24 Trillion = $462 Billion  \n\n \n\nHow Many Bitcoin Would 5% From Each Market Be Able To Buy???\n(Lets Assume One Bitcoin is $10,000)\n\n \n\n5% of Stock Market:  $4.5 Trillion ÷ $10,000 =  450 Million Bitcoin ***(This is over 21 times the amount of bitcoin ever created)  \n\n5% of US Dollar: $75 Billion ÷ $10,000 =  7.5 Million ***(There are only 2.7 million Bitcoin left to be mined.)  \n\n5% of Gold:  $462 Billion ÷ $10,000 =  46.2 Million Bitcoin.  ***(This is more than Double the supply of Bitcoin will ever be!!!.  Supply and demand says price would have to increase exponentially.\n\n \nWhat Does This Mean???\n1)  If 5% of value from any ONE of these marketstransferred into Bitcoin there would not be enough Bitcoin supply to meet demand.\n\n2)  Imagine if 5% of all three markets values transferred into Bitcoin...   That would purchase 503.7 Million Bitcoin!  And Remember...there will only ever be 21 Million Bitcoin ever made.   \n\nThe Price of Bitcoin would have to sky rocket!    \n\nHere is the math...   503.7 Million ÷ 2.1 Million = At least a 24 times higher increase in Bitcoin Price.     So...$10,000 Bitcoin x 24 = $240,000 per Bitcoin!  \n\n3)  You may have missed the initial opportunity but the future potential growth is still massive!    \n\n \n\nReasons Why Money Will Transfer From These Markets Into Bitcoin\nHere is at least 1 good reason why money is likely to transfer away from each market into Bitcoin...       \n\n \n\nStock Market:   \n\nBitcoin serves the purpose of storing value, and being able to transfer it, outside of any government or third party control.  Investors can see the potential value of this, especially if the business world ever lost trust in the US Dollar (like it did in 2008).  Bitcoin is a hedge against a systematic breakdown of the perceived value of fiat currency.  For example, if banks fail, or the United States cannot pay their financial debt obligations, Bitcoin would be a great way to work around a broken financial system.  The stock market is all about investing in assets that can return profits, and Bitcoin has the potential of returning massive profits.  It is not hard to envision 5% of the stock market value eventually shifting into Bitcoin.         \n\nUS Dollar:   \n\nSimple Answer...Inflation.   As more paper (or digital) dollars are created there is less buying power.  Governments around the world are printing money at record rates and eventually this will lead to lower purchasing power for the average person. In addition, there may come a time when people will lose confidence that there money will have enough value to be useful for everyday purchases. Bitcoin provides a solution to this inflationary process.  The economy looks great right now, but there will come a time in the future when it doesn't look so good.  In such a scenario people will be looking for an alternative.  Enter Bitcoin.  \n\nGold:    \n\n\"Gold Bugs\" have been consistently investing in gold for years.  Many of them are waking up to the fact that Bitcoin offers many of the same potential safe haven qualities as gold, but with higher upside potential and no need for storage space.  As a result, allocating some gold investment money into Bitcoin is becoming more popular among some gold buyers.  As Bitcoin continues to prove itself as a secure store of value, more funds that were originally earmarked for gold are likely going to be shifted into Bitcoin.     \n\nConclusion:\nYou have not missed the Bitcoin opportunity.  The numbers we talked about in this article represent a 5% transfer of money from these markets into Bitcoin and is not even discussing the potential of Mass adoption in society or Institutional Investing through ETF's that haven't even been given approval yet.  In addition, we only focused on Bitcoin in this article, but there are thousands of other cryptocurrencies that represent further opportunity for financial gain!  \n\nRecommendation: \nIf you, or someone you know, is just beginning with Bitcoin please consider purchasing my \"Simplify Crypto\" training program for $9.99.

(Friends explaining to friends)\n\n3)  Professionals who help beginners get started with crypto. (Bloggers, crypto educators, content providers, etc)     \n\nWhy Was Simplify Crypto Created?  \n\nIn 2017, Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency were exploding onto the scene.  Justin began his own journey into cryptocurrency, and painfully stumbled through every aspect of the process.  He read hundreds of articles, watched every video he could find, and made several frustrating time consuming mistakes that slowed his progress.  In addition, trying to explain all of this new tech jargon to people was a difficult and confusing.  Justin quickly realized that confusion was the enemy of adoption for the average person.  Even if a new person was excited about the opportunity, they weren't going to take action if they were confused or unclear of with what they should do next.  Justin set out to make a simple step by step onboarding process that would allow the new user to be on track for success almost immediately.  In short...Simplify Crypto is the result of several years of experience introducing new people into cryptocurrency and helping them to take advantage of the largest transfer of wealth we will see in our lifetime.   \n\nWhat Is Included?  \n\nSimplify Crypto is made up of the G4G Treasure Map and G4G Treasure Box which includes:  \n\n1)  A simple strategy for consistent success with cryptocurrency.\n\n2)  A fun story that provides clear analogies and success principles.  \n\n3)  Basic Training (in very simple language):  Understand Bitcoin, Blockchain, Altcoins, Wallets, Taxes, Regulations, and more.\n\n4)  Goal Setting: Realistic Expectations, how to balance crypto portfolio, and High Risk Vs. Low Risk strategies.\n\n5)  Vital Tools and Resources:  Account set up Tutorials, Tools to Shortcut the Process and Avoid Costly Pitfalls, Tons of Bonus Resources.   \n\n \n\nHow Much Does It Cost?  \n\n$9.99  \n\n \n\nHow Can You Access the Simplify Crypto Treasure Map and Treasure Box?  \n\nVisit: Simplify Crypto  (https://g4gcryptotraining.thinkific.com/courses/simplify-crypto)\n\n \n\nConclusion:\n\nSimplify crypto gives a step-by-step strategy, trusted resources, and vital tools for the average person to begin having success with cryptocurrency.  When new people quickly understand the most important aspects of cryptocurrency and have a step by step guide to success, everyone wins.  The new person wins because they can now position themselves to take advantage of this massive opportunity, and we in crypto win because we have just helped move crypto on step closer to mass adoption.  Best regards on your journey to success!",

      "body": "![Fresh Start.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYQaQLYTZSMv1KKKHkZf5EQDFgdZen8hqJevtEhdT5z2h/Fresh%20Start.jpg)\n\nHave you ever looked back on your time in crypto and thought \"I should have done _____X_____\"  \n\nI have had a fair amount of success with crypto, and I have also had my fair amount of failures as well.  It got me thinking \"If I was brand new to crypto and just getting started what would I do differently now?\"  \n\n \n\nThought #1: Obviously I would have put a lot more money into Bitcoin in 2014 when I first heard about it.  Unfortunately, I didn't have the capital or the guts to go in big then.  And If I am honest, I didn't fully understand it when my brother was trying his best to explain it to me.  But you live and learn.   \n\nLesson #1:  I would't disregard something just because it was new and complex.  Instead, I would take time to learn more and educate myself.  By the time I got serious about cryptocurrency it was 2017 and I had missed a lot of serious growth.  The good news is its not to late!  There is so much potential in this digital revolution and we are still way early to the party!  Get involved and keep learning.    \n\n \n\nThought #2:  Everything in crypto has matured and grown over the last few years.  When I first heard about Bitcoin in 2014 it was hard to find much information about what Bitcoin is.  I found tons of articles claiming it was a \"scam\" or a \"bubble\" but there were only a few articles that gave any good information about it.  That is not the case anymore.  There are tons of great educators, content creators, books, bloggers, articles, mentors, and training resources that you can use to gain a solid understanding of what is happening in cryptocurrency development.   \n\nLesson #2:  I would seek advice from someone who has already had success with crypto and then be a great student.  Finding shortcuts, and avoiding pitfalls, is a major secret to success.  Having experienced mentors can help you with that.      \n\n \n\nThought #3:  Too many times I have bought crypto at what appears in hindsight to be the exact wrong time.  In the past I have listened to podcasts, or blog articles, and think \"This project makes a lot of sense.  I like what they are doing.\"  Soon after I would send some money to invest in their project.  This is called Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) and it is a total rookie mistake!  \n\nLesson #3:  I now have a clear plan and strategy before I put any money into any investment! \n\n       \n\nThought #4:  It's easy to send money to a project that someone else is building, but that is not where the real money is.  The people who are making the most money in crypto are the ones who are creating services that make people's lives better.  The best return on investment will come as a result of the contributions we make to helping grow this industry.  Why not get yourself more involved?     \n\nLesson #4:  I would have gotten involved a lot sooner!  I recognized fairly quickly that I was never going to be a programmer, but I could create great resources that help average people have success with crypto.  As a result I launched \"Simplify Crypto\"(https://g4gcryptotraining.thinkific.com/courses/simplify-crypto ) (Shameless Plug!  But I would appreciate you sharing it or checking it out for yourself!)    \n\n    \n\nConclusion:   So there you have it!  If I were brand new getting started again these are a few of the things that I would do differently.  I am curious to hear what you would do differently if you were getting started all over again knowing what you know now.  Please share your insight in a comment below.",

When I first started learning about crypto in early 2017 there was hardly any services that were truly useful to the average person.  Not anymore.  Blockchain and cryptocurrency has continued a steady march toward real life uses for the average person.  The fundamental and technological growth is leading the way into a bright new future for consumers like you and me.  The following is a list of my 9 favorite Crypto services that can be used right now, by people like you and me. \n\n \n\n1)  Ivan On Tech Academy - Would you like to actually be a part of helping build the blockchain / cryptocurrency industry? I didn't know the first thing about coding, developing blockchains, or being a part of the cryptocurrency revolution.  Ivan On Tech is my favorite Youtube cryptocurrency channel and about a year ago I decided to purchase Ivan's academy.  He takes you from not knowing anything all the way to developing blockchains on Ethereum, EOS and a ton of other great courses.  I have no intentions of personally developing a blockchain at this time, however I have found the training to be very helpful in making educated decisions about the details of different projects.  Its worth the investment just to be educated about the most exciting technological shift of our time!  To learn more about Ivan On Tech Academy click https://academy.ivanontech.com/a/17936/q4QcfbAf.\n\n2) Blockfi - Most of my financial goals revolve around developing passive income.  Blockfi is a decentralized financial company that pays interest on your Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDC and GUSD (Currently interest is between 4%-8.6%).  The interest you will receive is currently higher than the interest traditional banks are paying on any of their products.  Interest is also paid in whatever cryptocurrency you have deposited with the company and compounds monthly.  Finally, you are allowed to borrow against the crypto funds that you have deposited in exchange for USD without it causing a taxable event.  This is a great service if you are looking to generate income using cryptocurrency.  Why not let your crypto grow and generate more while you are waiting for prices to climb?  Read this article for a more detailed description or go directly to their website by clicking https://bit.ly/2PGkwHf . \n\n3)  Nexo - This is similar to Blockfi in that it pays you interest in exchange for holding your crypto.  You can earn up to 8% interest on stable coins such as USDC, USDT, TUSD, SAI, or PAX.  Also, the company pays up to 30% dividends if you buy and hold their Nexo token.  This is a great way to diversify your portfolio by not having 100% exposure in Blockfi (or other Defi interest paying services).  One downside is that Nexo although they have plans to pay you interest on Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc they currently do not.  However, you can still take loans against your cryptocurrency and stable coins with no taxable event.  One additional benefit is that Nexo pays interest that compounds daily. https://Nexo.io\n\n4)  Enjin / Enjin Wallet - Who doesn't like games?  What if could make money gaming or create in-game items that have monetary value?  Enjin is creating a blockchain gaming universe (known as the multiverse) which is built on the Ethereum network.  Because all of these games are connected through the blockchain, in-game items, characters, etc can be assigned monetary value and transferred from game to game.  I have played a few of these games and although they are pretty basic, they are fun.  I expect plenty of advancement as time goes on.  In addition, Enjin has invented a \"mint shop\" so game players and game developers can create game tokens with financial value attached to them.  Also, Enjin has created a cool new wallet that allows you to scan a QR code to acquire game assets, sell assets, hold assets and much more.  Its very cool and easy to use.  Enjin recently partnered with Samsung and their Enjin wallet is built directly into Samsung 10 phones.  I see all of this as a great way for the average user to become involved with crypto and for crypto to become mass adopted.  For more detailed info about this project read: \"What Is Enjin Coin: Winning The Blockchain Game\"\n\n5)  Token Tax - Beginners and experts in cryptocurrency both need a tool like this!  Everytime cryptocurrency changes hands from exchange to exchange, from Crypto A to Crypto B, or to make a purchase it becomes a taxable event.  Token Tax tracks all of your purchases and wraps all the tax information into a nice little bow at the end of the year.  No one likes taxes, but I believe its important to protect yourself especially since you know that governments are going to be more involved with getting your money as time goes on.  Better to be safe then sorry.  To get more information about Token Tax click https://tokentax.co/?via=G4G .\n\n6)  Publish0x - Imagine getting paid to read an article that is interesting to you.  That is exactly what Publish0x does for you.  In addition, if you are a blogger you can receive \"Tips\" for your hard work without the money coming out of your readers pocket!  Plus both the reader and the author get paid in cryptocurrency!  Publisher0x receives \"donations\" from cryptocurrency projects that want more visibility for their projects.  These donations then get distributed to the readers and authors according to how much the reader chooses to tip.  Its a great win/win/win for everyone involved and it is easy to use.  The Publish0x is built on the ethereum network and currently pays BAT tokens, Hydro Tokens, and DAI Stablecoins.  Click https://www.publish0x.com?a=GRb42W0eBL  for more information.\n\n7)  Brave - From a service perspective, I love how simple it is to simply download and use the browser.  It makes your search queries fast, and also blocks unwanted ads that we just can't seem to avoid with other browsers.  In addition, the vision of compensating users for voluntarily giving their attention to ads that we choose to view is a complete upgrade to the traditional ad spamming that we all hate.  In over a year of using Brave, I have earned over 115 BAT tokens just from viewing ads that I am interested in.  Overall, the company has consistently grown its user base and service offers.  Brave is one is of the blockchain project that I feel has great long term growth potential and I have chosen to personally invest additional money into their company.  If you are interested in learning more about Brave click https://brave.com/ggc920.      \n\n8) Coinbase - This is no stranger to those of you who have been around cryptocurrency for a while, but if you are a beginner this is a great place to start.  This company is a great \"on ramp\" to cryptocurrency.  It is easy to set up an account and begin purchasing cryptocurrency from a well respected company.  In addition they have begun paying interest on USDC and staking opportunities with Tezos.  I continue to use coinbase for most of my fiat to crypto exchanges.  Learn more about the Coinbase by clicking https://coinbase-consumer.sjv.io/G4GCryptoTraining .\n\n9) Binance - Binance has become much more than just an altcoin exchange.  With the invention of staking, crypto lending, and decentralized finance comes opportunity.  Binance has several new ways for users to take advantage of all these opportunites and create passive income.  I have used Binance since I began using crypto a couple years ago and have appreciated their service.  For more information about Binance you can click http://bit.ly/2BaebZV.   \n\n     \n\nConclusion: \n\nBlockchain and Cryptocurrency technology is quietly and consistently growing regardless of what is happening with their market prices.  Cool new services for consumers and average people are making their way into the market.  I hope this list helps you get more involved and better positioned for the future!",

Be a part of making it happen! \n\nProblem #1:  You have a dream of living life with financial freedom and success.  You see the opportunity that blockchain is presenting everyday.  The only problem is you don't yet have the skills you need to seize the opportunity and accomplish your dreams.  Wouldn't you like a solution to this problem?\n\nProblem #2:  Fortune 500 Companies like IBM, Walmart, Fedex and tons of others also have a problem.  And if you can help solve this problem you stand to make a lot of money.  You see these companies realize that blockchain is the future, but they still aren't sure how to incorporate it into there existing business system.  In addition, very few people have the technical training to develop a blockchain or train people how to use them.  This is exactly why LinkedIn recently posted that the #1 job skill needed for 2020 is blockchain.  \n\nSolution:  If you are willing to learn the skills which will help these companies solve their problems you will be in line for a big pay raise and on your way to living your dreams.  \n\nMy Personal Experience:  About a year ago I found Ivan On Tech Academy and began learning the details of coding and blockchain.  I had no prior coding experience, no blockchain experience, and really no technical skills.  Basically, I recognized that I wanted to have a deeper understanding of blockchain, and was also considering ways to incorporate blockchain into my own business endeavors.  The training started from complete noob to advanced blockchain developer.  It also includes Ethereum, EOS, and tons of other fantastic courses.  I found the training to be fantastic, and the investment cost was very reasonable $14-$75 per month, depending on which level training I wanted.  P.S. This is a certified training academy.\n\nConclusion:\n\nI think we all see the opportunity that is before us with blockchain, and obviously none of us want to miss the boat.  I also believe that educating ourselves is the best investment especially when the #1 in-demand industry hasn't even begun to hit the mainstream yet.

Decentralized Financing (DEFI), Cryptocurrency Exchanges, and Dividends all offer the potential for passive income streams using cryptocurrency.  But there are several lesser known ways to earn passive income that you should know about also. \n\nI am very conservative with my approach to cryptocurrency and finances in general.  I believe there is a big future for cryptocurrency, however that doesn't mean I want to bet my whole financial future on speculating and wishful thinking.  I am willing to take a slow, consistent approach to building wealth and my portfolio.  With that in mind, the rest of this article is aimed at sharing some ways that I have found to grow my cryptocurrency portfolio with a long term view in mind.       \n​\n1)  Earn Interest: My favorite way to make passive income with cryptocurrency is by earning interest. It works in the same way as traditional banks paying interest for savings accounts.  I am currently using two different companies to accomplish this goal, Nexo and Blockfi. \n\n     Nexo pays 8% interest if you deposit stable coins such as TrueUSD, USDC, SAI, PAX, or USDT and it compounds daily.  Compare this to the 1-2% interests banks are paying and you quickly see why this is a great addition to your portfolio.  In the near future, Nexo has intentions of paying interest on some of the top cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and 8 other well known coins. \n\n     Blockfi currently pays over 6% interest on your Bitcoin and over 4% interest on your Ethereum.  For someone that is a buy and hold type of investor this is a great deal.  The interest is paid out to you in cryptocurrency so it offers you a way to grow your crypto assets safely and it compounds over time.         \n      \n     There are a lot of reasons why I have decided to trust these two companies with my assets but please do your own research before putting any money into these companies. \n\n2)  Cryptocurrency Exchanges:    Many of the larger well known crypto exchanges will offer an incentive to hold their native token.  I currently hold tokens with Binance and Kucoin which earn bonuses paid from company trading fees.  The more tokens you hold the better the bonuses get.  In addition, many of these companies offer excellent discounts on your trading if you own their company tokens.  In a sense, this passive income is similar to owning dividends in the company and can be a great way to generate passive income. \n\n3)  Dividends:  One of the trends that seems to be up and coming in the crypto industry is the use of dividends.  Crypto companies want to establish a stable foundation and are willing to pay dividends to retain customers.  One such company is Nexo which offers 30% dividend for anyone who holds Nexo Tokens.  These operate in a similar manner as traditional dividends in that you must own these tokens by a certain date (known as ex-dividend) in order to be included on the company profit sharing. One of my goals for my portfolio is to add more holdings for crypto companies that pay dividends in 2020.   \n\n4)  Staking:   Staking is very similar to Dividends with the exception that you are technically not investing in a company.  Instead, you purchase and hold cryptocurrency coins or tokens as an investment which supports the operations of a desired cryptocurrency project.  In return, the project pays a monthly reward to keep you loyal.  This is definitely becoming more popular as the industry matures.  I found over 25 crypto projects offering the ability to earn passive income through staking in a quick search as I am writing this. \n\nHere is a quick list: \n\nPURCHASED THROUGH BINANCE EXCHANGE\n\nATOM\nTRON\nFET\nQTUM\nXTZ\nALGO\nONE\nSTRAT\nKMD\n\nPURCHASED THROUGH KUCOIN EXCHANGE\n\nEOS\nATOM\nTRON\nIOST\nNEBL\nNRG\nONION\nNULS\nTOMO\nEOSC\nLOOM\nVSYS\nWAN\nIOTX\nXTZ\nELA\nLOKI\nPIVX\n\nPlease keep in mind that none of these are recommendations or financial advice.  I just want to let you know some of the options available to you.  \n\n5).  Affiliates:  One of the best ways to make passive income with cryptocurrency is through representing affiliate sites.  Companies will pay you money to help drive traffic to their website.  If it is a company or service that you trust and truly believe in, why not share it and get paid for it?  Some companies will actually pay you in cryptocurrency while others will reward you with cash.  Just make sure that you are only representing companies that you have used and are comfortable with representing.   \n\nHere is a list of some of my favorite cryptocurrency affiliates (Yes...I believe in these!):\n\nCoinbase - (Get Started with Crypto) Both you and your referral receive $10 worth of Bitcoin.\nBinance - (Alt Coin Exchange) You and your referral earn up to *40% commission every time referral makes a trade.  \nKucoin - (Alt Coin Exchange) You and your referral earn a % of transaction fees on each trade. \nBlockfi - (Earn Interest On Your Crypto) You earn *10% of the interest your referral earns. (Not paid out of referrals earnings) \nBrave Browser - (Great Browser Service) You earn $2.00-$7.50 per referral. (Paid in BAT Tokens)\nRegal Assets - (Excellent Cryptocurrency IRA) You earn up to $100 per qualified referral + 3% Total investment.\nIvan On Tech - (Learn How To Code) You earn 25% commission on all subscription payments.  \nToken Tax - (Cryptocurrency Tracker) You earn 20% commission on all subscription payments. \nLife App - (Shopping Club) You earn 4% **dibs on all shopping purchases+ additional bonuses.\nNano​ - (Cryptocurrency Hard Wallet) You earn 10% commissions. (Paid in Bitcoin)\n\n*Commission varies based on total amount.\n **dibs are paid to you and then you can convert them into Bitcoin or other crypto.\n\n6) Lending:  Peer to peer lending has become very popular in traditional finance over the past decade and it should not be a surprise that lending would make its way into the crypto space as well.  Companies like Coinloan allow you to lend your cryptocurrency in exchange for interest payments. \n\nIn addition, major cryptocurrency exchanges have begun to allow you to lend your cryptocurrency in exchange for interest as well.  Basically, these exchanges need money for lending to their users who trade using margin.  Because of this, the exchange is willing to pay you interest for using your funds. \n\nIn all honesty, I have not done much lending with my cryptocurrency but the opportunity is there to earn passive income on interest from loans.  However, it does seem to come with additional risk if the loan is not repaid.  \n\n7).  Cryptocurrency Shopping Clubs:  You are going to shop anyway so why not save money and earn cryptocurrency at the same time?  Many companies are willing to pay you extra rewards in the form of cryptocurrency (such as Bitcoin) in exchange for your loyalty and repeat purchases.  This is the same idea of the point systems that gas stations and grocery stores currently use with a couple cool exceptions.  First, you can accrue cryptocurrency.  Second, rewards can be used between different stores and unrelated brands.  My favorite Cryptocurrency Shopping Club to recommend is the Life Leadership C4 Program.  They offer excellent cost savings, crypto payments, and additional rewards to shop within their large network of recognizable Fortune 500 companies.  Its worth a look and an easy way to accrue extra passive income for doing what you are already going to do anyway.\n\nThis article is a good article if you would like to learn more. \"Life Leadership C4 Project: What are dibs?\"\n\n8).  Brave Browser:     This is a very simple way to earn free cryptocurrency with a legitimate use case.  I downloaded Brave Browser onto my computer over a year ago and began using it as my main internet browser.  It is an ad blocking browser that screens pop up ads and unwanted trackers from your view.  However, if you are willing to view a few ads from time to time you will be rewarded with Brave Tokens.  At the time of this writing I have earned over 90 BAT tokens for this service.  Plus the browser works great, saves time, and is easy to use.  You probably won't get rich quick using this service, but Brave has had consistent user growth and continues to disrupt the online ad delivery business.  There is the very real possibility that the value of these tokens will grow with time and maturity.  Might as well earn them for free and with very little effort!\n\nFor more details Read \"Brave Browser: Is It Any Good?\"\n\n9).  Gaming:  I have written about the possibility of making passive income through gaming elsewhere in my blog but will also include it on this list.  Game items built on the blockchain become true assets that can be purchased, traded or sold.  Companies like Enjin allow you to \"mint\" items that can be used to accomplish goals in the game.  For example, you could \"mint\" 500 potions that heals your game characters health.  Once you have minted these items it can then be sold in that game (or other games) for a profit.  There are endless possibilities for how this technology could be used to create passive income.\n\nFor more information about how this works read \"What Is Enjin Coin?: Winning The Blockchain Game\" \n\n10).  Mining:  This has become much more competitive and is much harder than it once was to produce passive income.  The opportunity is still there, however, rising costs of mining rigs, electricity, and other expenses make turning a monthly profit difficult. \n\nOne alternative is joining a mining pool company. These companies combine mining power from hundreds of computers and then share the profits with each participant.  There are many companies that offer this service.  I have not personally been involved with mining so I won't make any suggestions here.  One thing I would suggest is to be sure to research several companies before choosing one as there are many potential scams in the mining sector.\n\n11).  Airdrops:  Ok, so these won't produce a whole lot of major financial results, however it is possible to find some cool freebies being released.  Airdrops are basically free gifts that are given to token holders as a reward for their loyalty to the crypto project.  I have personally benefited from several different airdrops and its fun getting free stuff...so why not?   I have an app called \"Coin Dreams\" on my phone which alerts me to current and potential airdrops.  Hopefully, this is a fun way for you to accumulate extra cryptos!\n\n\n\nConclusion\n\nWe are coming into a new decade, and 2020 could be a great year for the growth of your passive income streams and cryptocurrency portfolio.  Cryptocurrency prices may continue to bounce all over the place but you can have consistent gains in your portfolio without taking massive risks.  I hope that the 11 passive income streams I have shared in this article will help you on your journey to success.  Set your goals, create a plan, and stick to it!  I wish you much success in a great new year!\n\nNext Article:  \"How To Track Your Bitcoin (And Altcoins) For Taxes\"\n\nThis article is not meant to be financial advise.

It is an open source digital payment solution allowing customers to make transactions through Messenger and WhatsApp without the need for a bank or credit card company.   \n\nWhen I first heard about this project I only half understood why it was so important.  The implications of this project are massive and represent a tectonic shift in financial policy, regulation, and business.  If Libra Coin is launched, consumers like you and I would be quickly swept into the age of digital currency.  For better, or worse, change is on the horizon.  The question is will you be ready for it?\n\nKeep reading to understand how this project works and how it would impact you.   \n\nWho Is Involved With This Project?\n\nFacebook, and 28 other well known companies have partnered to create what is known as the Libra Association.  These companies are collaborating to provide support for customers and have also created a governing body for Libra Coin.  Assuming Libra Coin is successful within facebook, the other companies would also adopt Libra Coin as a legitimate payment method for their own existing customer base.   \n\n![libra association image1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSRQKkkr6HoKgPUa5UqqmPXY3rDK1tKwSD2g61ipM58S7/libra%20association%20image1.jpg) \n\nWhy Does It Matter?\n\nFacebook alone has a reach of over 2 billion people worldwide.  If you add the reach of all 29 companies involved in this project you would be have the equivalent of 1/4 of the world's population!   With the creation of Libra coin, and a quarter of the worlds population having access to it, there will be the very real potential of disruption to traditional banking and credit card services.  Clearly, if Facebook is able to successfully launch a digital currency it will directly challenge the US dollar and other leading world paper currencies.  Obviously, a disruption of this magnitude does not sit well with the powerful world leaders who control our current financial system.    \n\nIn addition, Libra coin gives overwhelming evidence that cryptocurrencies are the future of money.  With a third of the world population being exposed to Libra, it only stands to reason that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will also continue to be mass adopted. \n\nWhat Advantages Would Libra Provide To Customers?\n\nLow cost money exchange - Being able to exchange money with anyone around the world without transfer or processing fees is a major upgrade over what traditional banks currently offer.\n\nLower barriers for financial services - Millions of people around the world do not have access to traditional banking services.  Libra would provide an \"on ramp\" for people to gain access to previously unavailable financial services.  Essentially, this would help \"bank the unbanked.\"  \n\nSeemless interaction between traditional and digital financial services - Customers would be able to exchange value using Libra Coin or continue to use traditional payment methods such as credit cards and paypal.      \n \nWhat Challenges Does Libra Face?\n\nLibra's biggest challenge currently lies in regulatory disputes.   Here are a few of the major concerns that Libra needs to answer:\n\n1)  How will they protect consumer privacy information. (Facebook recently paid $5 Billion for consumer privacy violations.)  \n2)  How will they fight against money laundering and terrorist activity (OFAC & BSA).\n3)  How will they handle fraud or transaction reimbursement.\n4)  How much influence will they have in international foreign policy events.\n5)  How will they comply with IRS and international tax requirements.  \n\nShould We Trust Libra Coin?\n\n​From a technological standpoint Libra Coin would be a trustworthy financial tool.  The question is can we trust the company building it?  \n\nWhen David Marcus (Lead Developer Of Libra) testified before congress he responded to these questions.  He said that Libra Coin will be a separate entity from Facebook and that there will be no sharing of  information between the two companies.  In addition, Marcus said that Libra intends to be compliant with US banking regulation and therefore would be following the current OFAC & BSA regulations.  Clearly this would allow for some level of government influence into international foreign policy through Libra Coin, however Libra would not operate independently from government policy. \n\nAs far as fraud reimbursement and IRS tax requirements, David Marcus said that they would have a customer service department that would handle all such fraud requests and IRS forms would be mailed annually in a similar fashion to how banks currently fulfill IRS requirements. \n\nHow does Libra Coin Actually Work?\n\nFrom a customer standpoint...\n\nUsing Libra coin would be very simple. It would require having a digital currency wallet and being able to exchange wallet address with someone else to complete the transaction.\n\nFrom A Technical Standpoint...\n\nFor every Libra coin that is issued there will be one dollar worth of assets backing the coin. It will be backed by a basket of traditional currency such as the Dollar, Euro and several others to add stability and delete volatility (known as a Stable Coin).  Having a 1:1 ratio stands in stark contrast to our current fractional reserve system and offers the potential for a more stable economic foundation to build on.  In essence, this would be a hybrid between traditional money and a true decentralized cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin.                   \n \nIs Libra Coin The Same As Bitcoin?\n\nNo. Libra coin is an open source digital currency that is created and maintained by a centralized governing body.  Bitcoin is decentralized and has no governing body or central authority.   This is a major distinction.  Companies such as Libra can be bullied and manipulated by governments while Bitcoin remains independent from the influences of government.\n\nConclusion\n\nLibra coin represents a direct threat to the major world economies and the people controlling them.  It offers a much needed technological upgrade to our outdated financial system and shifts financial control into the hands of the Libra Association instead of central bankers and politicians.  While Libra is not a fully decentralized network like Bitcoin, it does accomplish a step in the right direction for the advancements of digital currency.   Clearly there are many important regulatory questions that need to be answered but one thing is for sure, Libra has put the world financial system on notice that major disruptions could be on the horizon.",

In fact, almost every transaction you make with cryptocurrency is taxable.  AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO KEEP TRACK OF IT!  \n\nYou probably stumbled upon this article because you were asking yourself \"How do I keep track of my cryptocurrency transactions?\"   The answer to your question is...TokenTax.  Keep reading to learn the best practices for tracking your cryptocurrency...plus three important tax saving strategies.\n\nAt first, tracking my Bitcoin transactions were simple.  I simply made an excel spreadsheet and tracked a few key pieces of data.  That was fine if I was only buying and holding cryptos.  But when it came time for using cryptocurrency to buy products, services, or exchange them for any other cryptos, I quickly found that I needed better tracking methods.  At least this is the conclusion that I came to.   \n\nLet me start by giving you an overview about how cryptocurrencies are taxed (United States). ​\n\nHow Are Bitcoin And Cryptocurrency Taxed? \n\nIn the United States, cryptocurrencies are treated as if they are property and are not recognized as a legitimate form of currency. Therefore, it is subject to capital gains tax which is similar to the way selling stocks or selling a rental home would be taxed.  Basically if you transact a Bitcoin, and it is worth more than you paid for it, you owe tax on the difference.  This applies to every cryptocurrency transaction you make, including small purchases of something like a candy bar or buying a product through an online store. \n\nTo complicate things further, capital gains tax also apply if you are exchanging Bitcoin for any other type of cryptocurrency.  For example, if you exchange Bitcoin for Ethereum (or any other alt coin), you will need to consider the difference between the purchase price of your Bitcoin, and the price you sell your Bitcoin for when you exchange it for Ethereum. \n\n​With all of this complexity you quickly realize how annoying, and nearly impossible, it is to keep track of all these small details in an Excel spreadsheet.  Who wants to buy stuff and then take time to record all those details? \n\nEnter TokenTax!\n\nP.S.  The current tax situation is in my opinion one of the biggest reasons cryptocurrency hasn't been more widely adopted to this point.  Read: \"Is Crypto Going Mainstream?...And When?\" \n\nDisclaimer:  I am not a tax advisor and am not here to offer tax advice.  With that said, I have used TokenTax personally and am an enthusiastic affiliate for their services.  I have researched several companies that provide crypto tracking, and tax services, but have found TokenTax to be the most reliable and easy to use. \n\nWhat Is TokenTax?\n\nTokenTax is a software that integrates with all of the major exchanges and cryptocurrency wallets in the marketplace.  The software compiles all the transactions you make and puts them into an easy to read layout with the corresponding tax implications for each transaction.  ​\n\nWhy Is This important?\n\nTaxes are unavoidable!  Many people incorrectly believe that they can avoid taxes by using cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin.  This is no longer true, and will become even less true as time moves on.  Governments are becoming more sophisticated with their ability to track, and tax, your cryptocurrency transactions.  As new regulations are created they will most certainly aim to allow more government control of cryptocurrency taxes. \n\nWouldn't it make more sense to use a service that can help you simplify the process rather than having powerful government entities breathing down your neck?  I certainly think so. \n\nJust remember that each transaction you make with cryptocurrencies also comes with a tax repercussion.\n\nIs TokenTax Only Available In The US?\n\nNo.  TokenTax will accept customers from all countries and will convert data into any currency (not just the US Dollar).  However, it is important to understand that the tax laws vary in every country and therefore may be a little different than what I have described in this article. \n\nThree Important Tax Strategies...\n\nFIFO, LIFO, and Minimization.  TokenTax automatically evaluates your tax profile through each of these 3 tax methods allowing you to know which strategy will be best for your tax scenario.  This is very helpful in helping you reduce tax liability. ​\n\n​Can I Combine TokenTax With My CPA Or Tax Software?\n\nYes.  I currently have a CPA who handles my taxes and I was happy to learn that I could easily transfer data from TokenTax directly to my CPA who could then simply combine this information with rest of my tax portfolio. \n\nIn addition, TokenTax can be easily integrated with other tax software such as Turbo Tax to help you keep your tax reporting simple.\n\n​How Much Does It Cost?\n\nThere are three tiers of service each with varying degree of services depending on your needs.\n\nBasic $69\nPremium $199\nVIP $1499\n\nTokenTax Website\n​\nFor more specific details about each plan visit:  www.tokentax.co \n\n​What Does Token Tax Do Well?\n\nI like that they integrate with most of the largest exchanges, operate in many different countries, and take into consideration long-term and short-term tax strategies. Most of the information is imported and highly automated.  They can also import information from your crypto wallets and information can also be sent directly to accountants. Files can be uploaded CSV or just automatically downloaded from exchanges.\n\nWhat Are The Limitations Of TokenTax\n\nIt is mainly a tax tool and there will be no portfolio or investment advice given. ​ Also, the basic services are great for a beginner but you will definitely need a higher package if you are doing a large amount of transactions or using many different exchanges to complete your transactions.\n\nCan TokenTax Handle Taxes For Miners And ICO's?\n\nYes.  In addition, they have a service that can help you find past taxes from many years ago.  This is helpful for someone who may not have reported in the past but would like to get into compliance. \n\nAbout The TokenTax Team\n\nThis is a US Based company with experienced accountants, designers, software engineers, and finance professionals.  ​\n\nWho is their competition?\n\nCryptotrader. Tax, Bitcoin. Tax, Libra tax.com, coin trading.com\n\nConclusion\n\nTax evasion is not a good strategy!  Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have a bright future but will likely be carefully watched by governments who want to get their slice of the pie.  In my opinion, it is far better to use a service like TokenTax, and be in good financial standing, than to be in the cross hairs of powerful governments.  Therefore, it is important to have a strong tax strategy when it comes to your cryptocurrency portfolio.  Be sure to do your due diligence and seek solid professional advice when making tax decisions.

DIBS is a virtual currency, created by Life Leadership, as a medium of exchange between customers and participating businesses.  It is an acronym that stands for Dollars Into Bitcoin Satoshi's. \n\nYou may be wondering how this program is legitimate and how it works.  If you are, keep reading to find answers to all the questions you may have about this program.\n\nHere Are Some Of My Recent Experience Using The Life Leadership App...\n\nWe ate at Chili's and were credited 5.4% cash back on our meal.  (About $2)\nI bought some painting supplies at Home Depot and was credited 5.4% cash back.  (About $2)\nI bought some windshield wipers at Autozone and was credited 2.7% cash back.  (About $1)\nMy wife bought a gift card at Barnes and Noble and was credited 3.0% cash back.  (About $1)\n\n***I was going to buy this stuff anyway...why not save some money???\n\nBut There Is More... \n\nAll of these credits were automatically stored in our Life App e-wallet which could then be used for:\n\n1) Future purchases at participating stores.\n2) Converted into cash. \n3) Converted into Bitcoin\n\nBefore We Jump Into The Details About DIBS...\n\nIt will be helpful for you to know that Life Leadership has established a mobile shopping platform which is partnered with hundreds of nationally recognized retailers.  Customers like you and I gain access to this exclusive shopping platform by downloading a free app, and using the app to save 3-10% on purchases that we would otherwise make anyway.  Additionally, customers are also rewarded with DIBS when purchases are made using the Life App Wallet. \n\nRead \"Life Leadership C4 Project: A Real World Crypto Use\" for details about the Life Leadership mobile shopping platform. \n\nWhat Is The Purpose Of DIBS?\n\nDIBS allows the customer to save money on each purchase, and then easily convert it into either cash or cryptocurrency.  In addition, using DIBS allows the user to make purchases at participating stores by using either traditional currency or cryptocurrency. \n\nHow Do DIBS Work?\n\nDIBS are basically an intersection between traditional business and the emerging virtual currency market (cryptocurrency).  They basically allow the customer, and business, to deal together with either paper money or digital money.  In addition, purchases made using the Life App Wallet is more secure because none of your personal customer information is transmitted in the transaction process. \n\nAre The Transactions Easy?\n\nFor the most part the transactions are simple.  It is the same as using a gift card to make your purchase.  Most of your purchases can be completed by simply letting the cashier scan the barcode.  However, sometimes you will need to give the cashier a gift card number which is generated through the app to manually enter.  This can be a little inconvenient but still very simple to use.  \n\nWhat Is The Transaction Process?\n\nYou will need to start by downloading the Life App.  You can download it HERE if you are interested and then finish setting up your account.  \n\nOnce you are in the store, or company website, the transaction looks like this...\n\n1) Open Life App and click \"Shop Now.\"\n2) Choose the business where you are shopping.\n3) Enter and Submit the Exact dollar amount of your transaction into App.\n4) Give barcode to cashier to scan and complete transaction.  \n\n***Just tell the cashier that the transaction is processed in the same way as using a gift card.  \n\nWhy Are DIBS Better Than Using Credit Card Or Debit Cards?\n\nCredit card companies collect your personal data and are a centralized location where millions of people's data are stored.  Having all this sensitive data in one place is an easy target for hackers.  DIBS allow for the exchange of digital tokens which does not require your personal information to be transmitted in the first place.  The obvious advantage is a higher level of security for your transaction.\n\nWhy Would Businesses Offer Savings AND Pay Extra DIBS? \n\nThere are two main reasons companies will compensate the members of this community.\n\n1)  Companies no longer have to pay as much in advertising costs because they already have a loyal community of buyers.\n\n2)  DIBS eliminate the need for businesses to pay credit card processing fees for each transaction.  These savings can then be passed back to the customer \n\nIs DIBS Built On A blockchain?\n\nNo. DIBS are digital token that represent value and are exchanged through encrypted transactions.  They do not require validation and consensus through a decentralized ledger in the same way as blockchain transactions.  \n\nWhy Dibs Are Good For The Cryptocurrency Industry?\n\nDIBS creates a stable, and consistent, medium of exchange between merchants and customers.  Without a currency like DIBS, retail merchants who want to accept cryptocurrency are exposed to highly volatile price fluctuations  DIBS helps solve this problem by creating a stable value of exchange between merchants and customers.\n\nHow To Transfer From DIBS To Cash?\n\nOnce you have accumulated DIBS in your wallet simply click the button that says \"Withdraw Money\" and follow the transaction instructions.\n\nHow To Transfer From DIBS To Bitcoin Or Other Cryptocurrency?\n\nOnce you have accumulated DIBS in your e-wallet simply click the button that says \"Convert To Bitcoin.\" You will be required to either set up a Coinbase account or link your existing Coinbase account to your Life ewallet.  Once your account is established you can purchase Bitcoin with the savings you have accumulated from your everyday purchases. \n\nIs There An Advantage To Accumulating DIBS In Your E-wallet?\n\nYes the higher amount of dibs you hold in your wallet the higher percentage of cash back you will receive on purchases.  In addition, the higher your ewallet balance the higher percentage of DIBS you will be rewarded with.  See Chart Below for details.\n\nIs There A Limit To How Many DIBS You Can Transfer?\nThere is no limit to the amount of DIBS that you can transfer into Cash. However there is a limit, based on Coinbase thresholds, for the amount of cryptocurrency you can purchase using DIBS in one day.  This amount varies depending on how long your Coinbase account has been active and your account history.\n\nWhat Is Next For DIBS And The C4 Project?\nPhase three is said to have the ability to use dibs for your purchases with participating partner stores. This will also cut out extra fees processing fees and therefore allow Merchants to offer even higher discounts. This is scheduled for release sometime close to Q3 of 2019.\n\nHow Do You Get Started Saving Money And Earning Cryptocurrency?\n\nYou can download the Free App ---->>>> Life App   \n\nConclusion\n\n​The Life Leadership C4 project continues to grow and improve.  With the introduction of DIBS as a stable  medium of exchange in retail transactions, the C4 project is helping to transform how business will be done in the near future.  By building an ecosystem in which middleman costs are eliminated, and the customer is rewarded for their loyalty, Life Leadership has built a great win / win environment for all participants.   This is a great service for the average consumer, participating business, and cryptocurrency as an industry.",

I will explain everything you want to know about the Brave browser.\n\nSo, what is Brave Browser?  Brave is a web browser that automatically blocks ads and trackers while providing faster page loading times.  In addition, Brave rewards users, publishers, and advertisers financially with BAT Coins in exchange for user attention.  \n\nIf you are interested in finding out if Brave is right for you...keep reading.  I will also give you some helpful tips for using this service.\n\nHow To Use Brave Browser? \nBrave browser works the same as most other web browsers as far as functionality.  Simply type in the website and up pops your page.  It also uses a standard search bar such as google.   \n\nWhat Are The Benefits Of Using Brave Browser?\n\nUnwanted Digital Advertising\n \nAdvertisements bombard our phone, kill battery life, and slow down device performance.  In addition, we actually pay advertisers to bombard us as they suck up data from our data plans.  Brave browser automatically blocks ads, and ad trackers, so you can enjoy the content you are looking for without ad interruptions. \n\nFaster Page Load Time        \n\nAdvertisements require extra time and bandwidth to load.  Therefore, if there is no advertisements the speed of your page loading increases.  Page loading speeds are 2x faster than Chrome on desktop, and 8x faster on mobile devices.  There is actually a fun tracker on the brave home screen that shows you how much time you have saved.  \n\nHow Much Does It Cost?\nBrave is Free to download and use.\n\nHow To Download It? \nBrave is very simple to download and easy to use.  You can download it Here.\n\nWant To Get Paid For Your Attention? \n\nBrave has created a cryptocurrency token known as BAT (Basic Attention Token).  Users, Publishers, and Advertisers are all rewarded for being a part of the Brave ecosystem. \n\nUsers:  Users can choose to allow ads in exchange for being paid BAT.  In addition, users can also choose to contribute a portion of their BAT to content creators that provide the best value.    \n\nPublishers and Content Creators:      \n\nUsers choose a monthly contribution amount which is divided among the sites that they frequent most.  In addition, content creators can add a \"tip\" button to their website in which the reader can reward the publisher for their great content.  Content creators can also establish rewards their users who promote their content. \n\nAdvertisers:  \n\nBrave browser anonymously evaluates user attention and interests.  This allows advertisers to gain more effective targeting and higher conversions.  Only ads that are of interest to the user are displayed.    \n\nBrave Browser Important Facts\n\n1)  Brendan Eich is the developer of Brave.  He is also the creator of Javascript, and co-founder of Mozilla and Firefox. \n2)  Brave has already been downloaded by more than 20 million users.  \n3)  Brave is one of the most successful projects as far as cryptocurrency adoption into society.  It provides a solid and legitimate use case for blockchain and cryptocurrency.\n \nIs Brave The Same As Basic Attention Token (BAT)?\n\nNo.  Brave is the service being provided to customers while BAT is a cryptocurrency token which is being used as the medium of exchange in the Brave ecosystem.  BAT is an ERC 20 token built on Ethereum.  There are 1.5 Billion BAT tokens which have been produced and most of them are currently in circulation. \n\nWhere To Buy BAT?  \n\nThe simplest way to purchase BAT is by purchasing them through an exchange.  I prefer using Coinbase because they can be purchased using a credit card or direct withdrawal from your bank account.\n\nClick Here to set up an account and start purchasing BAT.\n\nHow To Store BAT Once You Have Purchased It?\n\nYou can use any cryptocurrency wallet that accepts ERC20 tokens.  In addition, it is important to decide how you are going to use your BAT.  If you are only purchasing a little for use within the BAT ecosystem, you will want to keep it on a software wallet.  If you are buying large amounts and planning on holding them for a while you will probably want to use a hardware wallet.  Click Here to see my recommended list. \n\nIf you are newer to cryptocurrency, you will want to read the full article on how cryptocurrency wallets work HERE.\n\nHelpful Tips for Using Brave Browser\n\n​Shields: \nCertain websites require more security than others.  Brave has built in shields which block certain ads or information to be loaded.  If you need to allow or disallow shields, click on the lion icon next to your search bar and set it to your desired setting. \n\n​Ad Blockers:\nOnce the ad program is launched you may want to allow some ads so you can begin receiving BAT as a reward.  Again, click on the lion icon next to your search bar and adjust accordingly.  \n\nBrave Wallet:\nIf you have downloaded a Brave Wallet you can access it by clicking on the red triangle icon next to your search bar.  This allows you to change your auto contribute settings, give tips to content creators, and also purchase additional BAT.  \n\nIs Brave A Good Service? (My Honest Review) \n\nI have been using Brave for several weeks and it has delivered on its promises as far as fast web searches and ad blocking.  I really like the counter that shows how many ads have been blocked, and how much time I have saved, by searching through their browser.  On the other hand. the ability to earn BAT for viewing ads and participating in their user attention program has not yet been activated but is due to go live in the near future.  I will update this review once I have been able to test that program out for a while.   \n\nConclusion:\n\nOver 600 million people use some kind of ad blocker on their devices.  It is clear that people do not want to be bombarded with unwanted ads.  Having a browser that automatically eliminates ads just makes sense.  In addition, when your device is not weighed down by ads your search can be completed much quicker.  Brave browser represents an excellent real world use case of how blockchain and cryptocurrency can improve our economy. \n\nDownload it for free here ----->>>>>  BRAVE BROWSER",
