For those that are younger than me, that's paraphrasing an old commercial for a hair product called Brylcreem.
What's that got to do with Hive or the blockchain etc? Nothing, I thought it was a catchy way to come up with the the post title and a little bit of advertising history. Let's call it a 2 fer.
First up, Are you using Brave to read this? Why not? I too was hesitant to switch. I mean, I was happy with chrome. So much so, 95% of my online life is tied up with it. gmail etc all live there. I made the switch a lifetime ago(in internet years) and never looked back. On the rare occasion something doesn't load I use firefox which was one of my first after discovering there was life outside of IE.
So, why switch? One easy, like stupid easy ad and popup blocking. Just a few sliders and you are surfing trouble free. Secondly, I can choose to be served ads, up to 5 an hour. They pay me in BAT(the native brave token) which I can exchange like any other crypto. Check it out here.
Secondly, I want to talk a little about DAPPS. Otherwise, why mention them in the title?
Things like peakd.com or splinterlands or actifit etc. These are all apps that use the blockchain. Some great ways to learn about new ones, whether it's for Hive or ETH etc. State of the dapps https://www.stateofthedapps.com/ or https://www.dapp.com/search or https://dappradar.com/ One of my go to dapps is leofinance
These are just a few sites to check out. What's your favorite dapp(s)? Let me know in the comments.
My new favorite site is Torum.com Go check it out. If you register, we will both earn XTM. Free crypto is always a good thing, right?
