The concept of privacy and fungibility was a key area of focus for cryptocurrencies as well as crypto-based applications. Setting aside privacy-oriented coins like Monero [XMR], there have been certain privacy-focused applications that have made their way into the mainstream realm. A key example of the same is the Brave browser, an open source web browser based on Chromium.

Latest reports suggest that users can now earn Basic Attention Token [BAT] while browsing the Brave browser. There are 14,657 detected Brave Browser/BAT Website publishers, many of which are websites frequented by millions of people. The list includes Vimeo, The Guardian, softonic.com and the Washington Post. Some users had queries about the earn feature with one Reddit user, mogberto, asking,

“So quite a few websites I frequent are on there. Does anyone actually make a worthwhile sum from this?”

Another Redditor replied,

“Not really since most bat contribution have largely come from ugp grants to users so far. But Brave has a ton of advertisers lined up for the ads launch. Once that’s live + 1.0 Brave, the amount of money paid for ppl to watch ads is orders of magnitude higher than what the ugp is able to sustain.”

The number of publishers using the browser also shot up over the past six months. BATgrowth.com stated that 35,000 new parties joined the browser since October, bringing the total tally to almost 60,000.

Brave Browser recently announced that the preview of ads developer channel had entered the second phase. The organization announced,

“With today’s Developer Channel update [version 0.63.4], testers on OS X, Linux and Windows x64 [with 32-bit/x86 to follow shortly] will start to see the ads they are viewing being counted [”ad notifications received”] on the Brave Rewards Settings Page [accessible through brave://rewards].”

This feature allows users to contribute BAT to all the websites visited by them. The second phase of development also introduced “anonymous, but accountable campaign reporting for brands” on the browser. Another feature was Brave Ads, allowing visitors to earn BAT while watching the advertisements.

Bitcoin Price Rebounds Over 10% But It’s Not Why You Think

The wonderful world of bitcoin is a fascinating online roller coaster ride. What the mainstream calls “volatility” we call a time for “Hodl.” bitcoin price resumed it’s upward volatility on Monday into Tuesday morning, gaining over 10%, and I’m going to tell you why.

bitcoin PRICE GAINS ON WEAKER DOLLAR

bitcoin price rebounded sharply entering the final week of March and it really had nothing to do with bitcoin. The greater economic markets were the key to bitcoin’s success as the U.S. Dollar took a beating yesterday. This was largely in reaction to the health care vote debacle late on Friday afternoon, when President Trump had to pull the new health care proposal of Paul Ryan for not having enough votes to pass.

This occurred too late on Friday for the market to react, so this carried over to Monday morning when the U.S. Dollar reached a four-month low, the Dow Jones dropped to its lowest point since 2011, and the USD crashed compared to every major currency, CNY, Euro, and yes, bitcoin.

The USD’s market weakness means dollars can buy fewer Bitcoins, so bitcoin value increases against the USD, which is what the bitcoin price represents. bitcoin rose from about $950 USD to over $1,060, as of this writing.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU

As I went over in a previous article, Why bitcoin Price Will See Huge Gains For The Next 10 Years, one of the main reasons bitcoin is going to gain value over time is the inherent weaknesses in the greater economic market, which is based on debt.

The U.S. Dollar market is the most influential and strongest financial market in the world, and when Janet Yellen raises interest rates by twenty-five basis points, the economy goes into a tailspin. This should show you how weak the other markets are if the U.S. financial system is this fragile. bitcoin price will take advantage most of the time, and there is plenty of economic turmoil coming down the pike.

Beating the Dollar Using Circle

Another market condition that should be taken note of is the fall in the value of altcoin Dash, which has fallen more than 10% over the last 36 hours, almost the exact same time bitcoin started to rally. 

Dash and bitcoin clearly have an inverse relationship. As one gains, the other falls, and if people see bitcoin on a run, they pull their Dash to get in on the action. A smart investor will take advantage of these relationships and market forces in the future. Dash being an economic hedge against bitcoin is not a bad place to be. Robin was pretty damn famous in his day, and beyond.

ONE CHAPTER CLOSES; ANOTHER BEGINS

In an aside, I will no longer be writing articles for Bitcoinist after today. I will be moving back to the United States to build my million-dollar consulting business, Smart Beta Consulting, from this point forward. SBC will focus on bringing high-net-worth individual investors in the U.S. and Canada into the digital currency fold, trading fiat currency for global decentralized currencies like bitcoin and Ethereum.

If you know an avid investor who is looking to get started with bitcoin, feel free to send them over. They can do it. Smart Beta Consulting can help.

In closing, no matter where I roam, you can bet your last Satoshi I will be working to help someone learn more, buy more, and do more with “The Future of Money”. This is what I have been doing for the last three years of my life, and I will continue to do it until I can do it no longer. Thank you for your support of me and Bitcoinist. We all appreciate it and we do this work for you, the bitcoin community.

Take care and I’ll see you on the moon!
