There’s another crypto-friendly company that allows you to earn cryptocurrency, and you may have heard of it: Brave, the web browser that has its own token called BAT.
Brave is part of the attention economy which describes people giving their time to engage with content that brands would like them to see. Short for Basic Attention Token, BAT is rewarded to users who provide advertisers with their time by watching ads.
You don’t get paid for watching an advert on YouTube or Facebook, but on Brave it’s different. As Brave explains, when you turn on Brave Rewards within the browser, you can earn “frequent flier-like tokens for viewing privacy-respecting ads. You can set the number of ads you see per hour.”
Watching ads isn’t most people’s idea of fun, and you’re not going to get rich off watching ads every hour. However, the Brave Rewards program is well designed and integrated into the web browser, and will help you learn about cryptocurrency wallets, and ways to use them, as you browse. The user experience is superior to that provided by bitcoin faucets that also force you to watch ads.

Because Brave has created an entire economy based around BAT, you can even use the token to reward your favourite live streamers or to tip content creators.
Even if you decide against watching ads to earn BAT, you should find from interacting with Brave, earning, spending, and receiving crypto using the built-in wallet, is a great way to increase your knowledge and appreciation for what crypto can do.
With average browsing time you can earn €10-20 a month, which you might spend on NFTs and could be worth a whole lot more further down the road.
Compared to Coinbase Earn, Brave Rewards requires less personal information to sign up and participate. Thus, it’s the better of the two options from a privacy perspective if you’d like to earn crypto but don’t want to disclose all of your precious personal details to do so.
