Steem - Use Brave to buy more STEEM!

Doc@jrcornel (82)2479d

If you are reading this post, there is a decent chance you are already using the Brave browser

Brave was launched several years ago with the intent of giving the power back to the users.

It's based on the Chrome web browser but instead pays you for clicking on ads.

It works by showing a pop up in the corner every so often relating to an ad.

You, the user then has the option of ignoring or clicking the popup which will then display the ad.

Every time you display the ad you are credited with a small amount of BAT tokens.

Why does this matter?

It can be a nice boon for steem!

I have been using the Brave browser pretty much ever since they started paying you in BAT to use it.

I have selected to have ads pop up roughly every 12 minutes (5 per hour).

Every time I click on them I receive a small amount of BAT in my BAT wallet on Brave.

Just recently they enabled the ability for users to withdraw their BAT, and this is where things get interesting, especially as it relates to steem.

Just recently, I withdrew some of my BAT earnings, which was worth close to $100 at the time.

(not too shabby for clicking some ads on the internet!)

I then sold much of that for steem and went ahead and powered it up:

I plan on doing this every couple of months or so as my BAT inventory builds.

This is something we all can do to help support steem prices!

What I just did was not a lot of money, but imagine if users platform wide starting doing this...

It would be a way we could help drive some demand for steem, and we could do it mostly by just doing the same activities online we are already doing!

Sounds like an easy way to support steem!

What's more, if you decide you would also like to tip some of your favorite websites, steemit.com is a verified creator on Brave.

Which means that some of your earnings from clicking ads can automatically be sent to the owners of steemit.com, if you so choose.

Another way we can use Brave to help support Steem!

If you aren't currently using Brave already, go ahead and download it and start clicking some ads.

Before you know it, you will be able to use it to buy and power up more steem!

Stay informed my friends.

    @jrcornel I have done the same things after reading your post 3days ago. and till now i only received 3 ads in total. I have done setting as you mentioned that 5 ads per hours. Can you give me idea that how can i view more ad for better reward?

  • @noloafing(66)· 2478d

    I'm not huge on doing this simply because I don't like crossing streams in a way. Any of the "revenue" I make when clicking ads in Brave I put right back into the ecosystem to support publishers.

    I've powered up my steem accounts directly by buying on exchanges and powering up.

    In my opinion, this is a better way to support Steem rather than leeching off another crypto ecosystem.

    I was excited about Brave when first introduced, had it on my laptop and mobile and was mostly using it until they introduced their wallet, after signing up to their wallet which was, not sure if still is, on Uphold, they asked for the normal verification process then they asked for a selfie carrying the ID.

    I asked them if it's possible to pass this part as I don't really trust online wallets to save that much of info, my local bank never asked for a selfie carrying the ID, only copy of the ID, and they insisted it's a must. Then I simply asked what are the guarantees their system won't be hacked, like every other system holding personal info of that much, and in case it does get hacked whether by outside hackers or inside leakers, how will they compensate me?

    They blocked my account.

    So, if you have no issues getting your ID and your selfie carrying it leaked by an insider or hacked by an Israeli company and sold to the Saudis who then would blackmail you, you can go ahead, I'm personally not comfortable with this new stupid security verification method.

    Well, as I'm thinking about it now, maybe I'll consider sharing with them that much info if they will share with me their trade license copy, partners' list, copy of the ID of each partner and director with a selfie of him/ get carrying it... 🤔

    I've used Brave on some occasions as a secondary browser, but not often enough. The performance has been somewhat lacklustre compared to Firefox (or it might be my potato computer), but I'll definitely give Brave a go every once in a while :-)

    Though I've not managed to get much BAT from Brave thus far using it. How've you been able to get $100 USD in ad viewing, and how long did it take you?

  • @marki99(62)· 2479d

    How long did it take you to actually get 100$? Really good post

  • @detlef-s(68)· 2479d

    I usw brave too. It is gold idea. Please write a step by step instruction.

  • @niallon11(77)· 2479d

    I had it all the way back in beta but unfortunately the ads don't apply over here. Otherwise i would still be using it. Your main idea is brilliant for those people that can earn from it and hopefully it will be here at some stage too.

    You said that you cashed out $100 so imagine 1000 users doing the exact same as you and pumping that into STEEM. It would definitely make a difference to the market price. I use publishox once a day to add some BAT to my account and plan to buy STEEM with it as well when it builds up a bit.

    All of these little things add up into big ones over time. If you get enough people doing it then it makes a difference.

    It the brave reward available on mobile? I assume most of your earnings we're made on PC, right?

    Interesting idea. I use brave ever day on all my devices. Best browsers I have ever used and the built in ad-blocker is so much easier to use than the chrome add-ons.

    I would probably do the same thing with brave earnings if not for having to utilize uphold. There are already too many companies with my personal information and they have been proven to have lax security with this key part of our lives.

    For now I will hold/ reward websites that deserve it.

  • @katerinaramm(78)· 2479d

    Unfortunately in Greece we are not allowed to see ads and be rewarded but it is a good idea to tip steemit website. If you do not know it, you can also tip twitter posts 😊 Thanks for sharing!!

    I use Brave occasionally, and had no idea you could actually cash out the BAT tokens - I’m definitely going to make the effort to use it more now!
