The GDPR authorities have just been alerted about the BAT scam and word is they're moving in quick to shut it down. Hacker news is picking it up now. Its unironically over and I've been a BAT holder since ICO. Just a warning to get out now.

You wanna know how I know you're retarded? Because you can't apply basic logic to this situation, or probably any. They have stated multiple times that when you download the browser you can claim 25 BAT which comes from Braves user growth pool. The reason why its unidirectional right now is to encourage grassroots growth as it kickstarts the economy. Users can only use those specific tokens to donate to their favorite youtuber or webpage, as they state explicitly when you accept the tokens. In the future when they integrate with coinbase you'll be able to buy or withdraw BAT as fiat directly from the browser with a debit card or bank account. They obviously know that the wallet being unidirectional forever would create a deadlocked economy, not to mention that everyone else in this thread does to0, except you, because you're retarded.

Ya because I'm not a software develop on the team dipshit. But at an abstracted level its not too hard to picture. I mean do you not understand what an API is? Check your fucking brain dude. Not to mention that out of all the things in that post, you pick that to rub tips about? I mean fucking lol, you don't see why reddit and twitter would integrate that into their functionality if it meant that they got a share? That potentially millions in revenue.

>fucking yikes

I'm pretty sure DDG is the default search engine. Currently the wallet is unidirectional but that will change in the next month or two when v1 is released.

That's fucking huge. The price is already starting to gain inertia based off all the possibilities. When things start getting confirmed its going to be astronomical nigga.

>The first few things you wrote were credible

How the fuck is any of this credible? This is literally pure bullshit.

They airdrop batties every month or so to encourage token use, familiarise people to the concept & onboard publishers.
Theyre supposed to grab these un-donated batties back but glitches and secretly notbovveredism means free batties.

Nicely done. This should be the new pasta.

Care to expound on the so-called blurred truths, empty promises and rollouts that never happened?

They've been pretty explicit as to where they are in the roadmap, and besides shifting a few small things a month to the right, nothing has changed. Its almost as if building a browser was serious business. Go shill your chink bags some more nigger.

I seriously doubt that a project backed by Peter Thiel and created by Brenden Eich is going to exit scam. This is a legitimate Silicon Valley icon. They're accountable to actual funds for one, and two, they have this market cornered. Better than those nigger gypsy's at link hq.
