Basic Attention Token

It's at $300MM and the browser is good. One good rumor/news and it could fly.

Concept is dead as they require invasive KYC to redeem their tokens. Nobody going to the effort to install a "privacy focused" browser wants to do that.

Google will buy Brave and BAT and make it work.

Believe me brother. I have been saying this for I think 8 years. Missed two bull runs. Every day of every year was hoping for the next catalyst to propel it forward. It could take off, but that would either require people to buy the token or for brave to make a bunch of ad sells. Both of which they have had basically 6 years to do already. I think browser growth is also slowing. They are in maintenance mode, and brave is just around to keep the lights on and collect a check.

It's hard for me to track the motivation of all the players here. Jennie, Luke... etc... are in the call week after week. Luke speaks on some kind of show about Brave. Brendan still tweets about Brave. Are they getting paid to do all this? Is that money now running out (hence recent layoffs)? Some people say they're waiting for the SEC to not be a factor because they're afraid of getting labeled a security and getting Just'd. Sounds convenient but plausible?

There was a time when I had the brave ads turned on for months, and the pittance you earn for having annoying ad popups are not worth it. Max amount you can earn in a year is like $3. Maybe it's really lucrative for website owners who do advertising through brave idk, but for an end user this shit sucks.

That's definitely not going to happen.

The browser doesn't have anything important to do with the coin that's just a gimmick to keep you from leaving the cult.

Being pissed off once is better than eight more years of cope.

They have a conflict of interest. They took outside capital for brave the company, and made BAT the token. They have a fiduciary duty to pay the people who provided capital. As for bagholders, they can get fucked in their eyes. After all they are "rent seekers"

Pretty sure they released a premium model of search as well as a paid vpn that were payable in cash. That cash did not get turned into BAT and burned or anything that would make a good token scheme. BAT is basically an afterthought. I would not be surprised if almost nobody at brave hq had over $1k worth of BAT. These guys couldnt even keep reddit or telegram alive. They are doing less than the bare minimum.

exactly. I washed my hands of this shitcoin, and im in financially the worst shape of my life, but at least im free. Holding BAT for 8 years was daily cock and ball torture.

The only redeeming grace of this coin is that its literally the last coin to pump. Its a good sign to exit the market when BAT is skyrocketing. Thats the multi million dollar alpha. Make your money on other shitcoins then ride BAT up at the end of the market and cash out.

All that crap about utility and team being useless doesn't matter.

All this token needs is some huge hype to lure normalfags in.

Good point. If they were to take any of their profits and use that to burn BAT or do anything to benefit the bagholders, the shareholders would be justified in suing Brave for leaving money on the table. They have legal rights to any resources that could benefit BAT holders.

I just bought 160k of it

upside potential is huge

the browser is good

One good rumor and it could fly

Google will buy Brave and BAT

utility and team being useless doesn't matter

Holy shit this is late stage terminal levels of denial. If you have 33K to blow on more BAT, don't. Get out now, buy Bitcoin or the S&P500, and never touch altcoins again.

Checked
I'm going to wait until the road map is released. It should be this month. If it's not released I just might sell hafllf my coins and put it in btc. They are horrible at generating hype. The coin has a poor brand at this point, this is justifiably known as the coin that people missed on crypto booms for. I wish I could be more positive about it, but it's not as simple as you say it is.

Okay, I sold. I hope you are right and I won't miss it exploding.

Its not a bad coin for what it does. Its literally a coal mine canary.

In like the 8 years of this tokens life, I don't think they have ever done a single thing to benefit token holders. In fact they have only become more restrictive. When they tried clawing back vBAT is when I finally started washing my hands. Just recently uphold removed my account after being a user for 8 years. Cant even earn BAT anymore. At least when I held BAT there was a hope for the future. Now they get more and more bearish every week.

I still hold BAT from half a decade ago. If you sell, just don't look back. Never check the price of BAT ever again. It's that easy. Also, it's extremely doubtful that you'll miss BAT "exploding," don't even worry about that

bought 160k

Why?

forgets gen x

BAT is really the only competition to Google AdWords so I don't really see that happening tbqh

300k BAT holder here. You’re gonna make it anon. Highest DAU of any crypto project and Brave is evolving from just a browser and search engine into a portal for the entire internet. It will crack the top 50 once again

This is on another device
Just wanted to say I never recommended selling. Just giving some counterpoints to some of your bullish statements.

I hold 8 billion BAT btw. Something huge is coming.

I hold twenteen trillion

It's pumping a little.

This coin should be at least 4 bill market cap at this point, so many users.

I just bought more, now I own thirtyeen quintillion BAT. And I accessed Brave+ (only available for giga-nigga BAT whales) and Brendan Eich personally told me that something insane is coming.

what makes more sense than buying your competition to remove it? nothing is off the table for this bullrun. crazy stuff is going to happen because the bullrun from 2020 never actually ended, it was just violently and artificially interrupted and delayed by a hostile government and financial market makers.

I guess MAU/DAU isn't enough to get a major advertising deal like DuckDuckGo. We're making progress though.

ngl i still end up going to google on the brave browser for searches. But my searches are usually searching for a reddit topic, or directions to somewhere (e.g. gas station near me). Not a huge fan of brave search personally

this shit died off because they never got rid of uphold, which is a nightmare to use

I use both but I think the growth of Brave search speaks for itself. Clearly Google has an advantage even if a lot of tech nerds say the results suck.

But if OpenAI or another AI company builds a browser there will be a lot more competition.

Sold my bag for pepe

Also, if Brave was acquired we would probably get fucked. They probably won't
buy out the token holders

Sold mine for Bitcoin when it was still 80 cents. Best decision I ever made.

There is literally zero reason for anyone to do anything to benefit token holders and tons of reasons why it's a bad idea. You all might as well sell your BAT and pool the resources to make your own memecoin. Would have better liquidity and marketing than 99% of them.
