Learn about Crypto and Earn Digital Assets - GrowYourBase.io
About 6 months ago, I wrote about a relatively unheard of project called GrowYourBase, that was built upon the AC3 Token:

I wanted to revisit this topic because GrowYourBase has not only survived the crypto winter, but has actually taken some impressive ground in building out a new industry altogether. GrowYourBase began as an advertising platform where any user could register as an Earner, who earns AC3 tokens by engaging with marketing materials put out by brands on the platform. These can be as simple as signing up for an email list, reading tweets and following, watching YouTube videos, and visiting websites for the various companies. These tokens are then used by the earners to buy digital products or services that these companies offer, all of which are listed on the GrowYourBase site:

While that was a pretty neat concept to start off with, what they've done these past few months is nothing short of groundbreaking. GrowYourBase has created campaigns for projects that offer blockchain based digital assets, which can offer income streams or appreciate in value over time. Basically, earners are now spending time watching videos and learning about new projects that offer unique digital assets, and then receive AC3 tokens that can be used to buy those assets.
Some of the examples include:
Vezt - A mobile app that offers fans the ability to buy rights for songs and recordings, and earn royalties, all of which is tracked on the blockchain.
Masternodes: Divi, 1X2Coin, Axel and Bettex - Each of these campaigns allows earners to learn more about how masternodes work, while earning AC3 tokens that can be used towards their purchase or configuration of their very own.
BuildingBITS - A blockchain based real estate platform that allows users to buy token based ownership in rental properties, that then allows them to earn monthly rents.
Unstoppable Domains - Another very interesting earner opportunity, this one allows you to learn about human-readable names that replace the cryptocurrency addresses we have all gotten used to. Web addresses can already have real value if you own the right ones, and soon branded cryptocurrency addresses could become the same.
I was initially impressed with their take on earning based advertising. Brave has been attempting to get into this space with their Basic Attention Token, but it is still questionable whether that will be rewarding for both advertisers and readers. GrowYourBase seems to have solved this as they keep regularly adding more campaigns. This is a very strong indication that they have a formula that is bringing value to both brands and earners. As this is all wrapped around the AC3 token, this could also be very favorable for future pricing if demand takes off.
GrowYourBase works best on a desktop computer at this time. It does sound like some work is underway to create a mobile app. If this does go mobile, it should do some pretty exciting things due to increased audiences and earner base.
I encourage all of you to do your own research and sign up for your own free account at GrowYourBase. Once you have registered, you can access your own referral link under Settings.

Hello appreciated @bdempsey.
First of all, let me welcome you back. We had not had one of your valuable jobs for a long time. I congratulate you!
It is admirable to see the follow-up that you have given to this product that you are presenting to us. Since you made a first article about this site a few months ago, you can have a first-hand comparison and analysis of its evolution and growth.
The proposals that you present here seem very interesting to me, above all that of masternodes.
I promise that I will give a more in-depth visit and review to GrowYourBase.io.
Thanks for sharing.
All best, Piotr.
Thank you Piotr. I agree, the masternodes really impressed me as people need both education of how they work as well as an upfront cost to get one set up. GrowYourBase has found a way to do both.
Thanks for your prompt reply @bdempsey
I appreciate it :)
I also wanted to make some suggestion.
My impression is, that the hardest part of attracting attention on STEEMIT is the fact, that our audience have very little chance to actually find our publications. Lack of solid notification system is an obvious issue. And regardless how hard I would try - there is very little chance I would find out about your new interesting publications (my feed is just flooded with to many posts).
Please allow me to share some suggestion with you. If you would ever publish content related to blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, psychology etc. then perhaps you could simply send me memo with link to that post.
This way not only I would have a chance to read your publication, drop a comment but I will also `upvote it right away with almost 20k SP voting power (I also have almost 10k PAL tokens, which may give you some extra benefits is you're using PALnet.io)
Please let me know what do you think. This surely should sound like a interesting offer :))
Cheers, Piotr
Thank you for the suggestions here. I agree with the challenge of getting awareness to posts. The alignment of economic incentives within STEEMIT feel suboptimal to me. I am not aware of PALnet.io, but will take a look at it as I am always looking for new technology and applications.
