Don't forget 1729.com! You can earn $100 or even more for each learning task, although it's a little more competitive and less guaranteed on some of them. I think Balaji is one of the biggest proponents of this style of learning too.

Heya Dan, total newbie here. I appreciate your breakdowns and I think I have a better grasp now. At the risk of asking a total obvious/basic question, why is there money in playing video games or using a special browser? What's the intention behind it and how do they make money off of their users? Is it all prospecting like (if I understand correctly) the value of NFTs? Is it mining?

Also - I'm using Mogo for Bitcoin (cuz I was already using it for other stuff) and they just announced they're offsetting carbon with tree-planting. Curious if you could offer rankings/suggestions for not-earth-destroyee options and/or your take on how to approach this from an ethical standpoint. (I realize that’s pretty tricky and convoluted, but your guess is better than mine.)

Oh and lastly, a friend just referred me to coinbase, curious if you have any thoughts on that one in particular. Like, if I choose to do just one of these things, is that a good one to start with? Thankya!
