Data.
It's a dirty word these days. Why?
Because powerful tech monopolies have found a way to unleash its value at our expense,
becoming the oligarchs of what some have called the oil of the digital economy.
You might have heard this famous quote,
"If you're not paying for it, you're not the customer.
You're the product being sold."
And that's because our so-called digital footprint has become something even bigger,
a digital representation of ourselves to be sold off to the highest bidder.
And that's the tradeoff we all make on a daily basis.
Using our favorite online platforms means handing over our personal information for zero gain.
Big data, it's a trillion dollar industry.
But while our online activity lines the pockets of the elites in Silicon Valley,
what do we actually get from it?
Targeted ads for Rogaine and six-minute abs?
But here's the good news.
Blockchain technology is a disruptive potential to tip the power balance in our favor.
In this sponsored video, we'll be looking at an innovative new project
with the potential to change the game for good.
Let's get it!
Welcome to BitBoy Crypto!

Data is the No. 1 asset digital commodity,
and yet the actual creators of this new asset,
you and me,
have zero stake.
So while we talk about our data being sold off,
let's face it,
it was never ours to start with.
We create it without owning it,
and we certainly don't reap any financial benefit from it.
But that could all change thanks to blockchain.
Leading the way is the Cirus Foundation and their flagship product,
a first of its kind piece of hardware designed to unlock data ownership,
connect to the blockchain and create real value for the user.
While anyone can access the Cirus ecosystem and leverage the benefits of the platform,
the Cirus device,
a WiFi router that collects user-authorized data,
can be connected to the system to supercharge earning potential.
And this sleek black box is just the tip of the iceberg.
The on-ramp to a network designed to empower and transform the ownership economy.
It's a multilayered solution that combines hardware, software and a tokenized ecosystem
that hands the value created back to its rightful owner.
Us.
I get it. It sounds too good to be true.
But this really could be a game changer.
Built as the highway to the digital economy,
Cirus addresses the accessibility challenge by becoming an easy-to-use replacement
for your standard router.
Plugging it in gives the user immediate access to a crypto wallet,
as well as the ability to leverage the Cirus Network for greater privacy,
control and monetization of their data.
The hardware approach is totally unique
because while we've already seen projects like Helium and BAT protect and monetize data,
Cirus are all about benefiting the user without asking them to change or learn behaviors,
and it's central to their thesis.
The team's ambition is huge
and, by no means, limited to blockchain nerds,
instead by working within the boundaries of what's already familiar to your average Joe,
a super cool looking plugin box,
they're actually offering a seamless on-ramp to crypto.
That's a big deal.
It's why the hardware approach makes so much sense.
I mean, how many times have you tried to explain crypto to someone who can't get over the fact
it doesn't exist in the physical space?
Like teaching your boomer parents how to set up their Ledger wallet.
Total nightmare.
No offense to any boomers watching this channel,
you guys are at the cutting edge, but a router?
Well, I already got one of those.
Meanwhile, the device is just one part of a robust three-pronged solution
that includes the Core Platform and Confluence Network
all working in synergy to connect you and your data in totally new ways.
And, of course, that means across all devices you might use day to day,
computers, tablets, smartphones, watches, TVs, game consoles, more.
With one simple and easy-to-install setup,
anyone can participate in the free flow of the world's most valuable digital asset.
Think about it.
If data is the new oil,
then we're all sitting on endless stream of reserves.
It's about time we earned our share.
So, who is the Cirus Foundation?
Well, they've got a crack team of developers, engineers and business leaders
which now includes former Apple CEO and Silicon Valley titan Gil Amelio.
as a Senior Advisor.
They've been working towards a working product for over two and a half years now,
but only recently have they come out of a period of what you call strategic hiding,
applying for as many as 47 patents
as they fine-tune their unique and innovative technology.
The updated whitepaper dropped just a couple of months ago.
I highly recommend you check it out
because it manages to simply explain a pretty complex set of features and protocols.
I mean, it's one thing to own our data.
Creating revenue from it is the next hurdle.
However, that's all backend stuff.
The masterstroke here is that Cirus has made it easy and accessible.
For your average household,
it's as simple as installing the box through a partnered ISP,
scanning a QR code to begin the onboarding process on a straightforward interface,
and then you're ready to start earning revenue from Day 1.
Legit passive crypto income.
Plus there's a whole host of DeFi applications being built on the network as an entry point for users
that could be staking or deploying CIRUS tokens back into the ecosystem
which can increase the amount you're ultimately earning from your collected data.
This is a product and ecosystem getting ready to roll in a serious way.
And while it's not fully available just yet,
they've already deployed over 4,000 units into households for sandbox testing.
According to a recent blog post, the results have been brilliant.
System is working as expected,
and the quality of the data assets being produced is incredibly high.
Cirus has also begun announcing an impressive list of partnerships.
KuCoin led the way and BitMart are expected to list the CIRUS utility token imminently,
with other major exchanges expected to follow very soon.
MATIC fans will be happy to hear,
they'll be taking advantage of Polygon's full scaling solution,
as well as launching as a pilot partner for Dfyn’s pre-launch staking pool program
with serious business rewards for liquidity providers.
All around, Cirus tech, vision and roadmap look set for some major industry disruption.
In only a week, token price has seen some impressive gains.
You can be sure we'll be getting our hands on a Cirus device here at BitBoy Crypto
as soon as possible.
I mean, this product gives a whole new meaning to the 3Ps,
property rights, privacy, passive income.
I'm getting excited just saying it.
That's all I got.
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
