Free crypto!! Start searching on the web with PRESEARCH
Hi everyone,
Sometimes things just sound too good to be true and when I stumbled upon the website Presearch yesterday, that is exactly what my first thought was:
Is this too good to be true?
Their about page and video cleared up all of my doubts and I decided to sign up and give it a try.
As you can see my balance is already at 28.75 PRE just buying doing the research for this article.
So, what is Presearch ?
Presearch is an open, decentralized search engine that rewards community members with Presearch Tokens for their usage, contribution to, and promotion of the platform.
In a world where one company controls 77% of all searches, influencing trillions of dollars in spending, shaping perceptions and effectively acting as the primary gatekeeper to the Internet, a new, open and community-driven search engine is a necessity.
Presearch has an innovative go-to-market strategy to target the most frequent searchers - web workers - and gain early adoption, on our way to releasing future versions of the open source platform that will utilize a blockchain-based index, curated by the community.
Together, we can provide Internet users with an alternative to the search hegemony that dictates where most of us learn, engage and spend our valuable attention and resources.
The financial breakdown
- We all search the web for well... about anything these days and mainly on Google..
- We all like free crypto
- By using presearch as your everyday search engine (you can also use Google through Presearch) you can get up to 8 free PRE tokens per day (if you search the web 32 times)
- At the moment 1 PRE equals $0.122872 USD, so basically you can earn up to 1USD worth of free PRE just by doing what you would normally do: browse the internet for information.
- At its peak in its very short existence in January PRE was trading at $0.80, this means if you HODL your PRE and sell it when crypto has another bull run, you can get up to 7 USD per day of browsing the web.
- If you would max this out (as to speak in term of #steemmonsters), you can get up to 8 PRE * 365 days = 2920 PRE per year!
That would mean at a max trading at $0.80 a total of 2336 USD for free per year.
Doing something you already do every day.

The impact
You might think I am in this for the money and the crypto rewards are definitely a bonus, but I mainly love this idea because of the potential it has of changing the monopoly of one giant company that has an unlimited capacity to influence us all.
You can easily click on the subdomain you want to search and pass Google all together. For example if you want to search something on Coinmarketcap, you can click on the icon on the Presearch home page and bypass Google. You can do the same with many others like Netflix, Rottentomatoes and Amazon.
The catch
You are only allowed to withdraw PRE starting when you have gathered a 1000 PREs, meaning at 32 searches a day you would have to use the Presearch portal a 125 days. Which to me is a good thing, is it sort of saying you need to be committed to this and commitment is the only way anything will change. So, I am a fan :)
I would recommend setting presearch as your homepage and when you open a new tab in your browser and turn it into a habit of using the portal.
Cool, thanks for sharing this coin with us. I signed up using your ref-link so hopefully this will help you. I'll stay active using the site since I really like the idea of choosing which sites you want to use fo searching. Maybe they will even create an own search engine someday.
Thanks!

I think this is a definitely must-try for any cryptozen. To be honest, I've never heard about this platform before...
There's comments to this post saying that Presearch uses Google. I have no problem with that at all because I think that it's a smart move by the team. This will enable the team to get lots of traffic, then they can start monetizing it and creating the underlying search-engine tech layer.
Nobody expects a team to come up with the solution on par of Google.

I think that I will start using it on the daily basis. I am an ICO copywriter and I search for lots of stuff on the daily basis. I am not sure though that I will end up with 32 searches per day. I just type in a phrase like "advantages of tokenization" and then go through top-10 results on Google. This can take hours because I read articles and garner insights as opposed to constantly searching for new keywords. So, I can search only for 2-3 terms and then I can spend the whole day reading those articles.
So, toocurious, do you think that you'll end up with 32 searches a day? As far as understand you are a crypto copywriter, too?

I kinda like the idea and can easily see myself using Presearch for the next 10 years... If the price goes up, I will make a lot of money. If it goes down, I won't. If it continues to be within the band of 1-5 USD, this is not going to have any significant impact on my financials. However, it's a cool thing to tell about to your non-crypto friends and educate them that they can use a search engine and get paid for it.
However, importantly, as of now I only work as an ICO copywriter. I receive payments from a number of customers. I use these payments to pay my bills and I am saving money, so that I have an XYZ amount of money in my bank account. After that I plan to migrate to Thailand from Russia. And after that I will roll out my online store in the US. I will invest lots of time in writing copy for it (good copy that helps, no SEO BS texts) and I expect that it will start bringing in 1-5K USD per month in net profits - after 1 year in development.
I don't want to do my own ICO, yet. So, basically ICO blogging is going to be incomparably small to my earnings from the online store. However, ICO blogging is the most important thing for me right now.
In the same way, using Presearch can just help people look at the ordinary things that they do every day from the standpoint of monetizing end users as compared to monetizing intermediaries like Google or Facebook.
It's a great way to change your perspective on the world. It's just that we all - you, me, your girlfriend or boyfriend - need to start asking service provider who we interact with for money in exchange for any actions on our part.
We use a social media - we should get paid. We read a blog platform - we should get paid. We bet on outcomes of events - we can make some money there.
I really don't like people who say that thinking too much about money is a bad thing. It's only people who already have 1 mil that can say stuff like that. If you don't have 1 mil yet, you need to continuously develop your life strategy, so that you end up having it.
Opening online stores is a pretty smart idea, btw. Save money and do that.
And what a loooong attitude :)) !
Okay, I’m tryin’ it!
Sure!
Count me in! I do a lot of searching, so why not add some earnings along with it? I will join under your referral link @toocurious Great idea!

@toocurious I am already using Presearch since 2 months and kept it as my default Chrome page. I have accumulated more than 100 coins and still counting. Thanks for sharing though.
Yes, that means it works, good on you. I am really going to test this to at least 1000 tokens.
Yeah. Once you reach 1000 tokens, you will get eligible for withdrawal.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Will try it. Nice to have an alternative to Google, MSN and Yahoo.
now if we could just replace YouTube
There’s dTube and another that I can’t recall right now.
Why?
Oh ho ho!
Recently started using Presearch, I was recommended by one of my friends @master-set. Thanks to the author! This is an interesting opportunity to make money on what you do every day)
Its fantastic
Thanks
you are welcome))
I’ve been using Ecosia as my search engine for about a year now but I will add this to my default lineup. I hope my work WiFi doesn’t block it, if that’s the case then I will be doing a lot more.
Congratulations @toocurious!
Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
I am doing it by last 2 weeks . Some peoples using it to earn pre coin only but if we see the other face of presearch it is not less than the google search . Now I never do it for earning only. I am using it when I genuinely required and I am doing earning automatically . Pre is doing my help to reach everywhere I want and to earn money also . But the withdrawal limit they set is too high because due to this peoples get demotivated . Peoples will try to collect 1000 coins as soon as possible . Then peoples not use presearch like a search engine. Pre can do one thing if they set their limit to 500 for withdrawal and reduce the rewards from 8 to 5 with 0.2 precoin per search . Because if peoples have short target they motivated towards the work . THis is the human nature.
I personally like the fact you can choose any other engine very easily, it makes me use them faster and the long-term plans are noteworthy as well!
