Has anyone heard of BAT( Basic Attention Token)? It's now associated with Brave( initiative by Brandon Eich). How do you see the future of Brave as well as BAT? Is Brave going to be a big bet in the industry?

  • Brave has been my primary browser on mobile and desktop for about a year, no more creepy ads, will not go back to other browsers.

    Doesn’t solve the root liquidity problems that plagues public ledgers. Until I can use BAT/any coin to buy basic goods, I always need to cash out to fiat. This will forever block adoption until addressed in some way (it won’t)

      Volume and market cap (presumably what you mean) are not caustically related

    • It's MV = PQ (money supply * velocity = real expenditures) from macroeconomics. Here, real expenditures is the money being paid to content providers and users on Brave, aka total advertising "revenue".

      If you imagine Brave capturing 1bn/year of the advertising market (which I think is easy since they have 10m+ users), with a velocity of money of 6/year you're looking at a money supply value of 166M.

      Factor in growth projections and it's easily worth the current price.

    I don’t know about a big bet, but the concept is cool and one of the better uses of crypto I’ve seen yet. I use Brave exclusively and own BAT to pay content creators who accept it. Not many creators/publishers are signed up so I end up making more BAT from viewing ads than I pay out. I think it really just comes down to adoption beyond the tech/crypto bubble. As far as the currency, it has utility beyond speculation/day trading so that gives it a bit more value for non-enthusiasts imo.

  • I use the Brave browser, I like it. Basically the same thing as Chrome.

    I also bought a lot of BAT.
