How Crypto Has Revolutionized The Concept Of Earning

So I've been using presearch for over 20 months now, and it's quite exciting how one can use this tool as a search engine and exactly earn tokens. Now this post isn't about presearch. Almost everyone I've talked to about are wary of having to use it every day, gathering those cents for over 8 to 9 months of consistency before the token can be ready for withdrawal. Now people eventually give up on using it midway because they're unimpressed but the most surprising thing is that they'll use Google all their lives with no incentives, no rewards and no form of expectations.

So Why would someone use Google all their lives but wouldn't use a tool that still links them back to Google when they're making a search? This is complex. I wouldn't speak for other societies. But then in every society of the world, there's always the expectations that doing things freely without the expectations of rewards is far better than doing things you could have done freely and incentivized with the prospects of reward.

At about November last year, the pre token mooned, I guess it was as a result of some good listing, now I was already on 800 PRE (because I needed 1000 to withdrawal) it felt good, and I had to make my way up to 1000 PRE with all my search after about 2 months of using the end as a search engine tool and at the end of the day, the efforts were totally worth it.

Now one of the biggest mistakes of people is always equating their crypto efforts, time and even investment to the dollar valuation, this can be typical erroneous especially when a person is building. When it comes to crypto, some people equate crypto with this mentality of magic money.

While crypto can be magical, it doesn't take away the fact that Crypto is procedural in nature and requires a lot of going into it. While buying crypto seems simple on the surface, earning it originally can be difficult. How many opportunities on the internet offers the opportunity to earn crypto? Not much, but legitimate opportunities hardly comes easy.

We live in a world where Google and Facebook has eaten deep into the fabrics of the lives of people, so even if you incentivize them to use something different, they might not really be excited at the prospect of earning money for doing something they've been doing almost all their lives.

This is more psychological and taps into the sociocultural lifestyle of people and also determinant on their financial background. When people hear the word "earn" they attach instantaneous substance to it. When it now comes to "earn crypto" they even attach bigger expectations to it making it difficult for them to actually double back, put in efforts and build overtime. PRE token came just recommended, I use Google like crazy on a daily, inasmuch as I knew that these data we supply on a daily basis are often monetized and nothing is given back to us. The way web2.0 is shaped, it makes for massive exploitation and control by big techs.

So maybe it was because I had this knowledge at the beginning, this was why I was excited to earn tokens for every time I put out a search on the web. The most surprising thing is, people are so accustomed to doing things for free, it would even be difficult to switch to a web system where they can partly own their data and earn from it as well. Earning on the internet to some, can be very strenuous and this is because of how they equate their quality of time to how less productive what they could prospectively earn is.

I did a lot of micros and crowdsourcing jobs on the internet back in the days. For some of these jobs I earned 10 cents, for some 15 cents and the highest pay being $3. However, this was tied to the dollar value, because all the earnings were in dollars, while this feels rather stable, I didn't even gather to $1000 in a year for doing these micro jobs, I think all the money in a space of a year was like $550.

The Crypto Dollar Valuation

My point is, that $550 earned in 2015 and 2016 was still $550 today, I bet this figure wouldn't remain the same if it was actually in crypto that I earned that. This is the beauty of crypto. Sometimes we're active in so many crypto related projects, building on a daily and ignoring whatever dollar valuation. This is because people like us are the long-termers. Investing, scrapping on gains and reinvesting again.

Living off the compounding effect of crypto and enjoying the process of building. If there's one thing I learned in 2018, this was never underrating cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum and fast-forward to 2021, I learned never to underestimate any crypto because even holding shit coin can make you rich. We often mitigate the risk of loss by building differently, there's never underrating the efforts because time eventually proves instrumental in measuring whatever value crypto garners.
