why did I "invest" in this fucking browser token

possibly the biggest waste of time in my life, I barely even post about it anymore, it's just fucking dead

BAT is literally the "cup of coffee" cryptocurrency. Brendan Eich himself said so.

agree that BAT is literally Rebbit: the Crypto but it's still bullshit that this shitcoin ONLY FUCKING DUMPS

the basic attention token (BAT)

I've seen this retarded point before, and I'm sick of debunking it, so I'm just going to copy+paste some Redditor's post about supply & demand.

>Token is currently limited to to 1.5B token; if more people buy the token, then you get an increase of demand. With an increase of demand, prices increases since circulating supply is limited. The team created a limited supply by limiting the number of tokens, and now they are working on demand for tokens (payment for ads on their platform). To get a successful ad platform, they need people to switch browsers (for now) to Brave browser since the ads will be running on their. Why would people change browsers though? They only do so if there's an advantage, which is why they are working on adding special features and making the Brave browser a better browser.

>Advertising firms wants to put an ad on brave, buys 10M BAT.
>BAT is now paid to the consumer (you watching the ad) + brave team gets a % cut.
>The BAT you get paid will most likely not get sold instantly (people are lazy), brave team will most likely not sell instantly as well. If the consumer and BAT team both sell, then it will balance out and price should not move at all if we're in a perfect world (no speculation); however, that's not exactly possible. Other factors might include people losing their payments...etc.
>Eventually if we get to the point where this is a 50M or 100M monthly buy pressure, then price increase exponentially. This is not taking into account speculation. Bitcoin's current price was based on speculation, the entire bubble, icos going 50x-100x. People speculating on what BAT's price long term; after initial advertisement, expansion, having larger companies advertising on the platform, etc. will be a bigger factor on the price. The reason why the team is working hard on the ecosystem is because this model makes the company sustainable long term.

Yeah no shit.

BAT unironically solves every social media platform monetary support issue you could possibly have.

The only thing stopping BAT is the Rogers adoption / innovation curve. People detest change, especially when it comes to technology.

I know people violently oppose Brave and BAT for many ill-conceived and uninformed reasons, but the more you read about it, the more you realize it solves so many issues you see today on the internet.

This motherfucking FUD-busting absolute gem of a shitcoin. Holding onto this bitch like my life depends on it. Not selling until $50 minimum.

A lot of us hodl, and a lot of us bought at around ATHs in February and March.

This bear market has given everyone an opportunity to DCA, though, so things shouldn't be too painful.

Goddamn I love holding a token that has an actual working product behind it.

Feels good knowing it's not some vaporware bullshit. I've mostly just used BAT for donations to YouTubers so far but I can't wait for more and more use cases for this shit. It's fucking genius. You know it has an awesome future when people start getting the pitchforks out to try to shutdown Brave and BAT - people are already scared of this shit. Big names have noticed Brave/BAT and are already trying to shut it down. Exciting times.

>>12339228
lmao, this is literally begging

Here's what we need: a 4chan that allows users to tip each other with BAT, anonymously. Same thing as the website we're currently using, except since Brave is already funding the use of BAT with its giveaways, we would have an automatic and immediate allowance to use towards Post tipping.

None of this fucking crowdfund "pls gib crypto" bullshit, no logging in, etc.

What does 2019 look like for the Basic Attention Token (BAT)?

Keep in mind a bright future for Brave does not necessarily spell success for BAT.

GREEN DILDOS EVERYWHERE

The only thing I'm worried about is that Brave 1.0 and BAT Ads aren't out yet.

Not a knock on the Brave team by any means, but BAT going parabolic before these two key bumps in the roadmap are complete could put immense pressure on them and cause bigger dumps in the future. I just want the timing to be right on all this shit. I've been using Brave since January and the new version is fucking great. Once they perfect the Tipping button (for specific YouTube channels, specific Twitch users, etc.) and really shore up the Brave Rewards window, things will really be moving.

Why haven't you bought BAT yet?

Here's a thread of mine from almost 2 years ago: >>/biz/thread/1825888

holding 300k bat, super comfy

Google was really pushing it for a while. I'm pretty sure gmail accounts were automatically linked to Google+ accounts, meaning that third parties could probably still scrub info from Google+ accounts that weren't manually created by users.

Google is a scummy company that relies on shilling users' private information anyways. People don't realize how much they're really being used and treated like robots for Google's various advertising schemes. Posting from Brave Dev browser by the way, I absolutely love this shit.

BAT will be $50 eoy. Screencap this.

There are going to be tons of different use cases - using it to pay for premium content (like WSJ, instead of buying a subscription), using it to donate to content creators, streamers, youtubers, hoarding it, buying shit, etc.

Advertisers will have to buy it for their ad campaigns. Read the white paper or visit the BAT reddit. It's a very active team with news just about every week. Comfy coin to be Bullish about.

You really need to look into BAT. It's the only Crypto token that is backed by a web browser and has a team behind it that includes the creator of Java Script and Mozilla Firefox. It's the real deal and will see a huge pump, likely around June, due to an important step in its roadmap. It has huge potential.

>>8909804

educate yourself

BAT will 5x this month. Roadmap is chugging along and they're introducing Brave specific advertisements to the platform. Trust me OP, you want to get in on this.

Oh by the way you can easily stop this and ALL paywalls by using Brave.

On Brave you simply flip the "block scripts" switch and it will block everything, along with trackers, ads, malicious adware, etc. etc.

Brave/BAT is the future. Built-in adblock browser with an optional decentralized user-advertiser-publisher advertising model. Literally solves all of these issues.

Do you see it hitting 10b mcap? Everything can happen in crypto right?
