General Market
Outlook
After yesterday’s $1,000 spike Bitcoin (BTC) has continued an up trend. This
has had massive effect on Altcoins. Crypto social media is flooded
with “Alts are back!” Indeed, Altcoins are in the green across the
board on most exchanges. One major example is Golem, their beta
platform was released earlier this week, and has been received well
– price of GNT is up over 65% in the past 24 hours.
The overall cryptocurrency market cap value is in a strong up
trend, corresponding to the movement of Bitcoin (BTC) and Altcoins. This is
indicative of new money entering the market, rather than movement
of BTC holders to Altcoins.

Brave Browser Launches $3
Million Reward Program & Adds Tor
Tabs
Brave is an open-source web browser based off of the Google
Chrome platform. It has superior performance against pop-ups,
advertisements and web-trackers. The browser shares much less of
users’ data with websites. The feature that distinguishes it most
form other browsers is the BAT token. It is a cryptocurrency that
is used through the browser to exchange between publishers,
advertisers, and users. Rather than silently giving the data of
your Internet usage away, there is space for a return to the
user. https://basicattentiontoken.org/
The token is also very useful producing real value form internet
content. Brave is making a big push to bring more value to their
browser through a reward program: “Today we are distributing the
first part of our Million Dollar referral
program directly to online publishers and content creators.
Brave will now transfer accrued BAT to publishers and creators on a
recurring monthly basis.”

Their founder also Tweeted recently that they will be
integrating Tor tabs. Tor is an anonymous web browser that totally
removes tracking of a users location or browsing habits.
