He's been putting Coinbase links in his description for a while now, but now we see Brave as well.

Reminder that this coin isn't even currently in the top 50, there's still time.

Whoops I fucked up the order of the images. Anyway, That Bart guy is getting on board too. I have never heard of him but apparently he's one of those popular mainstream guys.

Never heard of him

I'll update with any other YouTubers I see hopping on. But this is potentially big. Real big.

>>6614605
>Never heard of him

He was a lot more well known to the general public before YouTube algothryms started kicking out popular channels to replace them with advertisers. Like, getting your feed flooded with Jimmy Kimmel, Vevo music videos, or whatever movie trailers are hot. Like, before Smosh started becoming shit And speaking of all that, it's exactly the reason why he "needs" Brave.

Brave is shit but if it depletes the Chrome userbase then so be it

>>6614853
Brave is pretty fucking great considering it's only a few months old. Only a matter of time before it takes over, since the guy behind it is the guy that killed Internet Explorer

Reddit has been alerted as well (no brainer).

FOMO is going to be high tonight.

>>6614430
I'm still convinced people won't be bothered to switch browsers just for the ad-bonus you get from using Brave.

>>6615060

this x 100

>>6615060
The minute I saw it was a browser I nope'd out.

>>6614988

Been using Firefox for about 10 years and I'm seriously considering switching to Brave at this point.

No idea who this guy is but he has over 100k subs and is a SPANISH channel on YouTube. Talk about growth potential here. The Spanish side of YouTube is quite large. This guy is not big, but the fact that Brave is now potentially has a spark that can ignite an entire different side of YouTube to hop on.. fuck

why can't it reach more than a dollar?

>>6615002
I have no idea what this image is without arrows

>>6615111
no gains for you then. shoo shoo

>>6615089
>>6615111
You may be right about their desktop app but their mobile app is one of the most popular browsers in the google play store and is one of the best browsers on android.

>>6614430
I hope he uses his bitcoin gains to get a tan, dude looks anemic

Some random fuck with no YouTube channel, but 100k Twitter followers is endorsing it

>a big youtuber actually shilled BAT

holy fuck

>>6615111
RIP

>>6615392
>>6615426
>>6615519
Alright, then. Convince me.

>>6615338
>I have no idea what this image is without arrows

Sorry man will add more arrows - I know a lot of people don't really look at YouTube metrics like subscribers so I thought it would make it easy to locate the important shit if you don't normally look for that information. Fair call out though, the arrows aren't necessary.

Found another guy with a pretty big following who is interested thanks to Phil

>>6615630
try it yourself, both mobile and desktop

>>6615630
i'm at the point where i don't feel the need to convince people. whether you buy the only token with a working product and use case is irrelevant to me and my fat gains

>tfw all my BAT is on the exchange
b-b-based Binance chinajews aren't going to steal my gains, are they? I just don't wanna pay 10 bucks to transfer...

Bunch of small channels coming on board as well. Don't doubt the power of Philly D

>>6615817
they're mostly based in japan now, if the makes you feel any better

I'm not saying to get in on this but get in on this. ;)

Here's another spark. Last year an idea was suggested to the devs for referall links to spread the use of Brave. What happened to Binance when it implemented referral links? What about KuCoin? Fucking exponential growth, that's what. I know this suggestion is year old, but the same dev that replied to the suggestion now replied to DeFranco's tweet. This is all just speculation but holy shit that would be huge.

https://community.brave.com/t/brave-browser-invite-affiliate-tool-invite-friends-to-use-brave-and-get-paid-bats/4217/2

if you guys are in this just to pump and dump BAT then fuck off and go buy TRX. BAT is the first legit use case of an ERC20 and doesn't need your help ruining it with absurd volatility

>>6616412
I'm definitely going with long game with this one. I leave the playing with other coins.

I'm not completely unfamiliar with BAT but I'm just starting to dig in hard right now. I didn't know the breadth of what they were trying to go for here. Twitch, CNN, pretty much any website. Pretty sweet.

https://basicattentiontoken.org/bat-mercury-pre-launch-technical-update/

https://basicattentiontoken.org/bat-mercury-launch/

So apparently there's a promotion right now where they give you free 10 BAT for installing their browser. I just downloaded it and got the BAT in like one minute. Going to test the browser out now and see how good/bad it is

My only problem with BAT is it's dependent on the mainstream adoption of the Brave browser. And having tried the Brave browser as a non normie, seriously trying to like it and use it, I had to abandon it. It is just shit so I don't see this going anywhere.

>>6614430
Is that meme about brave not going above $1 legit? If not i might buy some right now

>>6616961
How do i send it over to my binance?

>>6617015
tweak the settings and you get a faster chrome. the real problem might be PEBCAK

>>6616368
Luke Mulks also confirmed BAT will be on coinbase. Go to the rocket.chat and lurk.

>>6617015
It's not because addons are coming out. It will also be integrated in Mozilla natively.

>>6617060
>He fell for the dollar meme
No. This was a meme BIZ used back for DGB. They just changed it to BAT

Just wait until referrals come out. That's when the real party begins.

>>6617065
You can't, you can only give it out. To stop people from doing exactly what you're trying to do.

>>6614605
he was one of the first "big" channels on yt you underage redditor.

>>6616961

Seems to run about as fast as Firefox. Not quite at Chrome level. But the built in adblocker definitely works.

Some things I noticed - you can mute tabs by clicking on the speaker on the tab. Cool. If you mouseover a tab it gives you a full preview of the tab as if you had clicked on it, until you move the mouse away. Kind of stupid, in my opinion.

Ad blocking options seem pretty straightforward. Actually using BAT through the platform seems fairly straightforward but since you need to fund the account through cryptocurrency I can see this not getting massive traction any time soon. If there were a FIAT option... well, that would be huge. But I doubt that would ever happen. Until crypto starts gaining more traction I don't think BAT through Brave will start growing hugely.

>>6617015
This isn't correct.

https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/942115844087169024

>>6617173
It would be lovely if Eich regained his position at Mozilla. They lost their way after he was punked by the neonhairs.

>>6617348
you can remove tab previews and tab colors. go play with the settings. you won't be disappointed.

I like it. Looks and feels good. Plus get 17.5 BAT, I downloaded it for all my PCs

Is there a list of verified publishers? I want to see if I can find any more of the bigger players out there who want to use it.

Also, nice to see that the Spanish guy I found before with over 100k subs is already verified. So that means it must be pretty fast to be verified since he replied to Phil just a few hours ago asking about it.

>>6617710
How'd you get 17.5? I only got 10. Not like it matters much, just curious

>>6616340
It’s u isn’t it

Why not just buy ETH? It's what powers BAT.

Please explain to a brainlet why I'd risk anything on BAT itself.

https://discord gg/Tw9Bv5

Philip Defranco has such a punchable face. I just want to hit him right in the nose

>>6617232
lol

>>6617763
here is a list
http://batpubs.com/publishers/
this list doesn't include youtubers like philip defranco

>>6615322
defeats the whole purpose

>>6618264
WHATS THE FUCKNIG PURPOSE YOU FUCKING PAJEET

>>6615060
If you're worried about this then buy adshares. Its BAT without the browser

>>6618188
That's a pretty shitty list. Looks like it's maintained by the public and they aren't doing a very good job of updating it. There's no way there are only 20 or so verified publishers.

Now I'm wondering, are there any plans for a BAT plugin? So if people didn't want to leave Chrome they could still take advantage of BAT without using Brave? Because Brave adoption seems like a super uphill battle.

>>6618264
I CAN"T TELL IF THIS IS A MEME ANYMORE

wait til pewdiepie promotes BAT

>>6618329
Without the connections in Silicon Valley too. Eich knows everyone in the industry. Adshares is vaporware.

>>6614430
RooshV has been promoting BAT pretty hard lately.

Just claimed 10 free bat coins

>>6618510
Got 40 free bat in total. 30 from the last airdrop.

Ppl are shilling this hard now i wonder how much there holding. Lol.

I didn't realize Brave's payment system was already live. Been using it on and off and it's a decent Firefox/Chrome alt so far.

>>6618479
interesting. link?

>>6618479
Now there's a name from the past. Heck, if I hadn't read a BTC article on RoK back in 2015, I probably would have been too late.

>>6618608
don't forget to tweak the settings if you want... i turned tab previews and colors off and i like it much more now

>>6618566
You can't trade them out though, fyi

>>6614544
>etherium

>>6618660


https://www.rooshvforum.com/thread-66574.html

>I now receive BAT ever month as a site publisher.

so how do I give my BAT? I'm looking at giving it to some Twitch/Youtube streamers, particular Twitch streamers with large followings that also crosspost their videos to YouTube.

I'm not very good at advanced TA, but looking at the big picture BAT has yet to really hit any "highs" on its BTC chart. I know we don't typically buy low here, but from a big picture look at BAT, this certainly seems like buying low.

>>6618955
Just watch their youtube videos and it will donate automatically based on how much you watch. You can also set a fixed amount. Also twitch integration is coming very soon.

>>6618916
this is more proof that BAT not only helps smaller niche content creators but that it also protects free speech. this token is so fucking incredible i cannot wait to see its future

>>6618995
Cup and handle meme. I drew this like 3 weeks ago.

Once that handle forms we are going completley vertical. Eich planned this, he is playing 4D chess.

>>6619075
you realize most alts have formed a cup against sats because bitcoin/usd made a reverse cup

Cheap BATs is what everyone wants - and needs. /biz/ morons with your quick get rich schemes are the exception. This is the final warning, stop trying to manipulate the price when the whitepaper is against you.

>>6619186
let me guess you fell for the $1 meme? lmao

>>6619250

I read the whitepaper. I understood the concept behind it. /biz/ is trying to ruin something beautiful here which could help a lot of people like pewdiepie and philly.

>>6619320
>pewdiepie
>needs money
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH

>>6619320
Who give a shit, everyone can suck my dick. If I can get rich at their expense, so be it

>>6614430
I have never seen anyone shill GNT on /biz/ before. By inference, it must be a good long term coin to get into.

>>6617191
someone should make a BAT + /biz/ roadmap.
Step 1. June-December pre-shills
Step 2. Operation shill pewdiepie
Step 3. 1 dollar purpose meme
Step 4. PhillyD twitter + youtube shill
Step 5. ???

>>6619320
BAT will function regardless of its price per token. what in the whitepaper makes you think otherwise? i'm gonna need specifics here even screenshots

just installed brave and have only tested it with biz which it loaded fast af. also a pretty aesthetic browser.

>>6619453
You haven't been here very long then. I bought GNT at $0.02 and sold at $0.44. Also bought ETH at $10 and sold at around $400.

>>6619320
If the price of BAT goes up it just means advertisers would potentially have to pay more to compete with each other for ad space. And in turn means more revenue for people who run their ads. I can see how this could potentially "hurt" youtubers since it becomes more expensive to run ads, but at the same time it's not just about making it more expensive it's about making it more competitive between advertisers. If advertiser A wants to show their ad then they will need to ante up more than advertiser B in order to reach BAT users

>>6619522
nice... make sure you tweak the settings! i turned off tab previews and colors, and made the url bar permanent, and i like it more.

we should get bat on 4chan ads, that way we can get paid while we spend our whole lives on biz

So we can withdraw these BAT earned via Brave?

>>6619453

it was the flavor of the month last summer until they humiliated themselves on their own livestreamed "conference". they instantly tanked and chad Omisego made them look like amateurs.

>>6619767

>>6614622
i just want muh 20x

>>6619522
How does COSS perform on brave?

>>6619036
I think you're the same anon that replied in the last thread. I'm sitting on quite a few of these bags and I'm hoping that eventually, $100 worth of coins isn't too many because I could get more popular people the notifications.

I guess people could also suggest popular people worth donating to right now to get this thing going a bit faster.

>>6619767
Thanks for the background. Seems those two projects are in no way similar.

hop on the BAT discord senpai
https://discord gg/AJkqjmC

The main demographic of youtube is
children ages 10-16
and
adults ages 40-60
none of them with the state of mind or motivation to learn and buy cryptocurrency

>>6619884
Took me about 10-15 seconds to load the exchange completely. Granted I am on a really shitty laptop right now. Loaded it up on Chrome and it seemed to take about the same amount of time. It seemed like Brave might have been a few seconds faster but I didn't use a stopwatch or anything and I'm not about to because I don't give a fuck about a 2 second difference to view a beta version of Coss

the ultimate BRAVE stresstest right now is the TRX buy page on Binance

The pump is already over isn't it?

>>6620372
lel kinda looks like it

>>6617820
I'm not a Pajeet. I got 17.5 on 3 computers.

>>6620372
>>6620426
I wager the pump from the initial hype is done. Will probably wiggle around in the 5-6k sat range until the next important YouTuber mentions it (or other news hype) at which point it should have no trouble going slightly parabolic. I say the 5k+ range because BAT clearly has a lot of support at 5ksat, so unless BTC decides to die again, we should be able to rely on 5k without issue.

>>6620725
It will go on a moon mission in Q2.

Regardless of other factors beforehand.

>>6620295
Good report thanks.

>>6618995

Dude, fuck TA.

Here you have a crypto currency with AN ACTUAL WORKING PRODUCT.

You can't even say that about half the coins in the top 20 FFS.

We have REAL WORLD USE CASE right now.

You think TA takes that shit into account?

This shit is going to fucking explode when a bunch of pissed off YouTubers that were literally just told they're no longer popular enough to get paid sign up with BAT and start shilling the shit out of it.

https://twitter.com/BartBaker/status/953752677992751105 Another Tweet from a huge youtuber. The chain reaction is starting.

>>6620281

rofl, do you actually believe this?

Pro tip: 10-16 year olds don't buy shit.

40+ year olds watch like 2 funny cat videos a week when they open their RE: RE: RE:RE FW: RE: FW :RE FW: FROM GRANDMA email.

You're retarded if you think people in their 20's aren't consuming YouTube 10X's higher than boomer fucks.

>>6620839
It was a pretty shit report but it's better than nothing. Honestly from a charting standpoint the better level of support is 4500. I just went with 5k since it's a better big even, we're on some fresh hype, and the buy walls are pretty strong right now (16 BTC for 5ksat+ on Bittrex right now).

I gotta go to sleep but here's some final thoughts Brave is a fully functional browser with some pretty good features and decent speed. BAT is a functioning token that is built on the strong Ethereum platform. They have a dedicated team of experienced people, some very well known. There is zero chance of this being a scamcoin. Ads on the internet are a huge painpoint of content makers and internet browsers alike. Even huge platforms like YouTube don't really like the current ad scene, trying out their own thing with YouTube Red. Adoption is going to be a massive uphill struggle against giants like Chrome and Firefox, but my god if this thing even gets 10% user share of browsers (Internet Explorer has a bit over 10%) I can't imagine how much this will grow. BAT has yet to see a big growth in value since its debut on exchanges. Buying now is still buying before the explosion. Imagine buying Ethereum at $10, or Antshares before it was NEO. It's like that. Well, if it takes off anyway. Peace /biz/

>>6620281
That's complete bullshit.
The main audience is between 25-34, then 35-44, then 45-54, then 18-24, then 55-64 and then 65+.

On more mature channels like this Defranco guy, it's most definitely people older than 18.

>>6620981
> 10-16 year olds don't buy shit
> one of the biggest markets

It's almost like parents buy shit for their kids.

Seriously, in the future BAT tokens could be the equivalent of that shitty $15 iTunes gift card your aunt gives you for Christmas.

>>6620981
>Pro tip: 10-16 year olds don't buy shit.
you don't know absolutely anything about economics

get in

>>6619388
Honestly if I was making a bajillion dollars per day I'd get really depressed if I dropped back down to 0.25 bajillion per day

>>6620878
you are right. just keep loading up because once pandora's box is opened we will never see these prices again (barring a complete and utter meltdown from grandpa)

>>6618372
If it's possible to do then it's likely. The guy behind BAT created java script.

I hope Youtube becomes even more orwellian so all the big youtubers like Pewdiepie move to BAT. And all the "alternative media" like Infowars. That would be amazing.

>>6618466
Do you see how adst is dirt cheep right now, and they didn't even bother to promote it? That right, because they focus on the product than constantly hyping the coin
They gonna launch their own blockchain in Feb
You know what to do

What do my BATbros think of PRL? Plays in a similar space, but not a direct competitor

>>6621989
i'm going to buy SUPEr MALE VItALITY with BAT

>>6621978
not only did he create javascript, he also took down Internet Explorer by creating Firefox

>>6622189
You should know Brendan Eich alone is worth twice as much as your shitcoin's marketcap.

You should know he created javascript.

You should know he helped create Firefox

You should know he helped create Brave and including a lot of cool shit to help stop malicious internet activity through the very thing he created in javascript

You should know he is autistic

You should know what to do....

$50 eoy. Screencap this post. This is coming from someone who invested in ETH at $8 and sold at $400. Buying BAT under $5 is like printing free money.

>>6622419
Well... that would actually be pretty awesome.

>>6619744
eventually

>>6617348

This is fucking stupid. So I have to put money in, which I can NEVER take out, just to block ads that I can do for free already with literally A N Y browser.

If I really gave a fuck about a page/youtube channel staying alive from ad revenue, I'll just ya know, unblock the ads for them and let them play. Not download some fucking browser where I have to literally give them money for no reason whatsoever

>>6622557
Vitalik was just a virgin autist before this shit show, so what is your point?
the fact that you have to use brave just to watch more ads is already a big disavantage?
Like seriously, who's gonna do that?
Btw, with 600 mils market cap, it's already overpriced

>>6618844

If I HODL all my BAT and then make a deal with a youtuber to give them all of mine for a cut of the profit in the true overlord fiat dosh, who's gonna fuckin stop me PAJEET?

>>6618466

nothing but a hype coin, will buy and sell soon.

>>6623059

25k, we going

>>6624144
They're implementing withdrawal later. That's the point is to hype it. Go buy some bat on exchange and give the coins in browser to some shill to shill bat.

Look at this organic growth

LOOK AT IT

batlet you're going to be printing money at that price.

I really want this to work but people won't switch to the browser for no reason and cryptonewbies will hold instead of using it

>>6626892

Chrome went from nothing to having the majority of the market share in just 3 years.

also the founder is brendan eich, the crator of javascript. You /pol/tards may remember him as the guy who got kicked out of mozilla because he donated to anti-gay marriage causes

>>6626892
batlet, its the advertisers who should be buying BAT and using it the most. investors hodling is fine, its a non-issue once the ecosystem gains traction.

>>6625321
I bought in when it hit .74, but I'm not even mad. BAT is gonna be the future of content monetization, and I'm happy to be a part of it.

>>6627009
at first it was fast and had its gimmicks and synced with your google account.

>>6627081
will it gain traction even if most people just hold instead of giving it to content creators?

>>6627169
wtf are you talking about???

the advertisers will be buying adspace and content creators will be receiving part of that as revenue since they are creating the content demand. the more views you have the more BAT the advertisers will be willing to pay. as viewers we will receive small BAT rewards for opting into viewing those advertisements, ads that are less malicious and more precise. viewers will be able to tip content creators with BAT if they choose to do so. either get paid to watch ads or dont, how can you not wrap your head around this?

>>6627011
just bought 2k

>>6627169
one of the brilliant reasons why i think BAT will succeed is that BAT holders benefit from paying some of their stack to YouTubers with large audiences. it's like a self fulfilling prophecy. I pay my favorite YouTuber some BAT, they mention BAT in their videos (like they do with Patreon), then the rest of my BAT stack increases in value. rinse and repeat.

I have even started talking about the fact that advertisers will want to hoard BAT to lock in a cheaper budget for their advertisements...

>>6627513
as it drops like a rock

>>6627707
You going to just spend your time in charts with this one? Why? Sell or let it brew batlet. No value watching the minute candles with projects like this.

>>6615060
Youtubers will all shit it because it benefits them, and their cult-of-personality followers will then become aware and interested

potential is there for sure

>>6627707
lol
>acting like the entire crypto markets aren't tied to bitcoin right now.....

>>6626892
Brave is fairly user friendly and has the minimal ads a normie would tolerate for compensation or not dealing with extensions. Bit buggy still but will be a solid browser.

Also SUPERB OWL

>>6628031
think about how many ads normies without ad-block has had to endured since the beginning of the internet? wow man, they will certainly like this experience

>>6618018
fuck off pajeet

It's a legit discord and a few members of the brave development team were actually in there earlier today telling us to use the official rocket.chat.
