Have you ever looked at the massive amount of
money advertising giants like Facebook or Google bring in
every single year and then you think to yourself,
if only I could get a small fraction of
that, I would be set for life.
Well, that's what the $BAT token is attempting to do.
BAT is the utility token for the
most popular privacy browser out there, Brave.
Brave was created by Brendan Eich, one of
the co-founders of Mozilla and the creator
of a little something called JavaScript, the guy
who built the tool that built Netflix.
Now, Brave envisions a new internet where your
time is valued, your personal data is kept
private, and you actually get rewarded for browsing
the web looking at whatever you look at.
Although Brave allows you to download and use
Chrome extensions, they're not your typical browser.
One way they do this is
through something called browser fingerprinting randomization.
Now, fingerprinting is a technique used
to track people on the web.
Brave randomizes your digital fingerprint by intentionally
making you look different to every site
each time you restart the browser.
But one of the most exciting features is
they change the way ad revenue is dispersed.
This is what I mentioned earlier about getting that
small slice of Google or Facebook users can allow
ads from Braves partners and then be compensated with
BAT tokens for just browsing the web.
Imagine getting paid for watching this video,
so I decided to try it myself.
I download the browser and turned on ads.
I'll report back at the end of
this video how much money I made.
So this is a compelling product, but
Most average people will tell you
that they value their Privacy online.
And I'm not just talking about your uncle who
gives Alexa the side eye whenever he says anything.
- What the hell is wrong with this blasted thing?
- But the truth is, most people don't even know
when they're being tracked, and they don't go out
of their way to protect their own Privacy.
According to a poll from June 2019, 47% of people
say that they're concerned about the
Privacy of their data within their country.
So ask yourself,
Now, Privacy, when it comes to blockchain
technology, takes this one step further.
There's a major weakness here.
Most blockchains keep your
transactions completely public.
Any transaction of Bitcoin that you've ever made
is public for literally anyone to view.
And this causes a whole host of
interesting problems that need potential solutions.
Now back to the battle.
When I judge something that's fundamentally different,
I like to ask myself,
So is a browser that respects your
Privacy and pays you to use it
10X better than what we use currently?
I'd argue probably yes.
Couple this with a relatively low market cap and
finite supply of tokens, the BAT token may not be
a bad long term bet on Privacy and security.
Now, something else that's a good
bet is joining my Patreon community.
Now, typically I talk about my buy alerts, you know the ones
that have doubled my portfolio in the last year.
But today I want to talk about our coaches
because with your membership you get coaching included.
We have classes with Sean who is an
entrepreneur and former CMO at MySpace, Ken who
is a blockchain and cloud computing expert, and
professional traders like David and Kyle.
In order to get this kind of coaching
elsewhere, you'd have to pay thousands of dollars.
But through the link in the description, you
can get access for as little as $10.
So just make sure you grab a
spot ASAP and you won't regret it.
Now let's pose another question.
Maybe instead of wanting to get a slice of
that massive advertising pie, you want to get in
on the 300 billion dollar gaming industry from the
comfort of your own sofa, let me introduce you
to WAX, the Worldwide Asset eXchange.
It's a blockchain built specifically
for trading virtual items.
WAX aims to integrate blockchain technology
within the video game industry, and
they seem to be gaining traction.
Last month it was disclosed that Amazon
recently invested in a trading card marketplace
built on top of the WAX Blockchain.
I actually decided to go ahead and try this
myself, so I went ahead and made an account.
Then I created what they call a Schema, and then after
that I was ready to mint my first WAX NFT.
So I was sitting there thinking, what should
I cement into the blockchain as an NFT?
It has to be something important to me.
So I sat there and thought a little
bit longer and really I had no other
choice but the German Innovation Award.
And coincidentally, I actually listed it for
less than the actual German Innovation Award.
Now the Wax Token has a market cap of under $1 billion,
and it's about 50% down from its alltime high.
The way that I look at this, is it's
one of the safer bets in blockchain gaming,
I think the long term moneymaker in
blockchain gaming will be platforms and tools
to build games within blockchain gaming.
Layer this on top of how large the gaming industry
is and the multibillion dollar push to make more games
blockchain based, I don't think this industry is going to
stop growing anytime soon, which to me means the WAX
Token is one to absolutely keep an eye on.
Now, adjacent to this is the
even riskier bet in blockchain gaming.
in individual game, Cryowar with their token $CWAR.
It's a realtime multiplayer PvP arena game
players will compete to earn CWAR, Tokens,
NFTs, and other in-game assets.
Now, the game is currently only available in its beta
version, and a full launch is expected sometime in 2022.
And Interestingly, Crywar wasn't intended
to be play-to-earn originally.
It was only at the end of 2020 when the team
decided that they would launch the game on the Solana network
and add in a play-to-earn mechanism within the game.
And this might actually be a good thing.
A problem in crypto gaming is most games aren't very fun,
and this is even a top complaint with Axie Infinity, the
largest crypto game in the world by market cap.
So check out this poll directly
from the Axie Infinity subreddit.
More than half of the respondents say that it's boring.
That's from their subreddit.
Now picture what happens when a
game that's actually fun launches.
Mark my words, this will eventually happen
and the game will take over.
It will be absolutely massive.
Now, is this Cryowar?
I wish I could tell you with certainty
this is very high risk territory, but they
do appear to check a lot of boxes.
Now see, CWAR has a modest market
cap of just over $100 million.
Compare that to Axie Infinity, so we can see
that there's a lot of room to grow if
the developers can really make something of this game.
But again,
Now, maybe you would like a token
that appeals to your inner nerd.
You want something on the cutting edge of technology.
I have just the project for you.
HTR, the governance token for the Hathor network.
Hathor was founded by Marcelo Brogliato, who proposed
a blockchain solution in his PhD thesis.
The paper described a method in which a
blockchain could ensure security and handle low volume
transactions, while something called a DAG would
be used to scale the system.
And you're probably wondering what's a DAG?
DAG is an acronym that stands
for Directed Acyclic Graph.
This term has been tossed around
haphazardly under the banner of blockchain
technology, but it's not technically correct.
DAG is another type of technology altogether.
DAGs present a solution to drastically
enhance blockchain scalability because it ends
the wasteful phenomenon of 'orphan-chains'.
Regular blockchains take a bunch of transactions and
batch process them over specific time intervals.
This is called a block time,
so take Ethereum, for example.
If you make a transaction on the Ethereum
network, it gets placed in a block, which
then gets processed about every 13 seconds.
The reason for this time delay between block processing is
to give the network time to consolidate and verify which
branch of the chain is the correct branch.
Once a new block of transactions are minted,
shorter and malicious branches are then orphaned.
They allow for multiple chains of blocks to coexist and
interconnect so nodes can exist in parallel as long as
the information is directed in the same way.
In theory, DAGs open up a whole
new range of possibilities that eliminate the need
for block time and reduce the amount of
work wasted on those abandoned orphan chains.
This allows Hathor to scale up to hundreds of
transactions per second, making it exponentially faster than Bitcoin
Litecoin or other proof-of-work chains.
Hathor is a layer-1 blockchain which allows for
developers to program so called Nano Contracts, which are like smart
contracts but with a much simpler design.
Nano Contracts aim to eliminate transaction fees, which would
make HTR a feeless blockchain to transact on.
Now, while all of this sounds great, a
lot of what Hathor aims to be is
still under development, with no technical details about
how Nano Contracts work or when they'll be functioning.
But with that being said, it doesn't
take a functioning product for a cryptocurrency
to have massive price appreciation.
You just need to be careful that you're not
investing in the next Bitcoin.
- The world is is not anymore the way it used to be.
No, no, no
BITCONNECT!!!
Now, last but not least is the $JOE Token, founded
and launched by the one and only Joe Rogan.
I'm just kidding.
He's still working out what NFTs are.
- Explain NFTs to people that don't know
what you're talking about, because I don't
know what you're talking about.
I do, but I don't.
I know it's a non-fungible token.
- Yes.
- I'm not exactly sure what that means.
- Joe is the token for the premier DEX on Avalanche, Trader Joe.
2021 was a huge year of growth for Avalanche.
In December, Joe actually had more active users
than all other top DEXes, including Uniswap.
If you take a look at the market cap
to active user ratio of Trader Joe compared to
other DEXes, this indicates it may be undervalued.
The thing is, Avalanche had a huge Q4 with
DAOs and Token launches every single day, and all of
those new tokens were being purchased on Trader Joe.
However, while the volume on the platform is
surging, the price of the Joe token is
currently down 63% from its all time high.
Now, I don't know if Joe is a 100X or not,
but if you're looking to profit off of the AVAX
ecosystem and you want a little bit more upside potential,
then Trader Joe looks like a solid pick at current prices.
Now, before we wrap up, I signed up for
the Brave Rewards program this week to see how
much money I could make from regular internet browsing,
and the results were a bit lackluster.
I found my monthly earnings would
add up to be about $0.50.
Now, I wasn't signed up for the maximum number
of ads, and if I had been, it might
have been around like one dollar a month.
So I'm not going to be retiring on
BAT Tokens from browsing the internet anytime soon.
In fact at current rates it would take
about 166,000 years to make a million dollars
browsing the internet and getting this token.
But I don't want this to take away from brave because
Google pays me nothing to look at ads and the experience
on brave in the last week was great and there you
have it five tokens under $2 with very exciting potential.
From here I recommend checking out the link
in the description for iTrust because with
iTrustCapital you can actually place your
crypto in a Roth retirement account.
This is very smart, this is big brain.
What this means is you can buy, sell
and trade to your heart's content and pay
no capital gains on your crypto wins.
This is amazing for traders. With a Roth you pay
your tax upfront when putting the money into your account
and then at retirement you pay no tax once you
start pulling out at age 59 and a half.
This is probably the most simple way to save on all
capital gains, that will be linked in the description below
and if you use that link you'll receive $100 in
Bitcoin free just for joining. Now from here I recommend
you check out this video of mine on Tether.
It is one of my favorite videos I've ever made.
You absolutely need to watch it.
That's gonna do it for today.
I would like to thank you so much for
watching and I hope you have a profitable day!
