Good news it that brave makes it super easy for you. By using brave your allowing them to push ads in place of the ones the sites want to send you (you can control the frequency of these by the way). As a thank you the brave developers pay you a portion of the money they make from the advertising in BAT (Basic Attention Token). This is stored in your brave browser, or a digital wallet you connect. Each month brave should tell you that you earned X tokens. Think of tokens (or any crypto for that matter) as penny stocks with fluctuating prices, you can give them to anyone (poal.co for example) trade them for other crypto, or convert them to cash. Considering 1 BAT is (typically) under a dollar, and you're likely to earn just 2-3 each month it's an easy way for us to all make a small dent in the cost of ownership for poal. My layman's translation table for crypto: - crypto, just like owning stock with a fluctuating price and no real rhyme or reason. - wallet, like the one in your pocket, it's a place to store your crypto for use, a digital wallet can hold multiple types of crypto like your physical wallet can hold multiple currencies - exchange, is similar to a bank, it's a place that claims to keep your assets more secure than your wallet, and available from multiple locations. This typically comes with a few gotchas with each exchange. Now you're a crypto king - don't worry about the other stuff like "what it is" or "how it works"
