Google is the leading search engine that almost every internet user consciously or unconsciously uses right now when searching for anything on the internet. It's actually the first of its kind. Over time, however, some others have entered the arena, but none has yet threatened the throne of Google.
Presearch is a new search engine that is not just a search engine. It's actually a tokenized such service. I first heard of it about one year ago, but haven't actually used it until a few days ago. Someone in my following list, I guess it was @saphirecrypto, shilled it through a post a few days ago and that's when it hit me.
I downloaded the app on my smartphone and the plugin for my Brave desktop browser, created myself an account, and been using it since that day. The token that you get for searching stuff on the internet by using this app is called PRE and you are gifted 25 of them as soon as you create yourself an account.
For every search, you get something like 0.08 PRE, or something like that, and you have a cap of 10 rewarded searches a day. Considering that I use it on my mobile and my desktop browser as well, it means that I can earn up to 16 tokens every 24 hours.
The current price for one PRE is $0.08 and the ATH was of $0.81 some four years ago, but in order to be able to cash anything out, you have to collect at least 1000 PRE which means I will probably be able to dump my amassed PRE only in a couple of year from now. That's no problem of course as the dollar valuation of one coin might appreciate even more in that time.
Presearch falls into the the tokenization of everything process, something that @taskmaster4450 has talked about many times through his posts. I first thought of something like that when I heard of actifit back in the Steem era. The idea of walking and earning crypto was something that opened up my horizons and pointed out toward the infinite potential of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Years and years from now we will be able to earn all sorts of tokens through almost any type of activity one can think of. A great example of the evolution of such a trend is HE tokens. You can literally earn all sorts of HE tokens by simply adding a few tags to your Hive posts or posting your content through a specific community.
As the tentacles of cryptocurrency are spreading wide we are able to grasp the potential such technology has and how it can positively impact one's personal finances. Just by simply collecting tokens such as PRE or other HE ones, one can literally improve his personal finances. It's not much and the value of these depends on many factors, but it's a compounding process that's worth paying attention to.
You don't have to move mountains to be able to harness yourself a small fortune in crypto, but during the current times we're living it's highly advisable that you pay attention to what "free internet stuff" you can put your hands on. At some point, even Bitcoin could be mined with a damn laptop.
Just pay attention to details of the bigger picture and you shall be rewarded ;).
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian

I've been using Presearch since it launched. I've always loved the concept of tokenized search rewards. Anyone remember when Microsoft was giving out rewards for using Bing? Good times. lol
