>>7832454
will BAT holders benefit from this?

>>7832454
They wouldn’t do that because BAT is a stupid idea and so is a browser that only weirdos will use that monopolizes ads by blocking every ad that isn’t paid for in a gay crypto.

Cash grab.

Youtube is currently blocking any major content creators from promoting BAT/Brave on any of their videos because they are in talks with Eich and his team. The plan is to acquire BAT/Brave and rebrand it to YouCoin as it way to fund/subscribe/get premium content creators. They plan to keep the user reward mechanism as well. Initially, it will be a method to fund youtubers but will expand as a chrome extension and be work across the whole web. Will post screenshots of a powerpoint being sent across my department.

do it

>>7832744
PRICE PREDICTION NOOOOOWWWW

>>7832744

What a fag.

>>7832744
this guy looks like a fag who is pulling the "I WAS CENSORED" hustle to get attention lol

PhillyD is going to upload a BAT/Brave related video tomorrow. It will get take down hours later.
Screencap this. I'll be back tomorrow with more information after this happens.

Actually i remember a video done by phillip defranco about Brave and now thats gone too.

Big if true

>>7833125
screen capped fag. You best be right.

>>7833125
should've waited with shilling until btc stabilized some more

True if big i will buy all mu gains in bat now it ascends to 4 bats thanks anon

>>7832454
Why do you retards always try the same weak point?
No bank or stablished company is buying any cruptocurrency or token, never. Blockchain tech is OLD, I mean like fucking 1970s old. If it were usefull to them they would have developed on top of it earlier.
Everytime you see this point anywhere, get the fuck out, fast. Because you are being shilled by a 12yo that literally don't know shit abouth tech beyond a smartphone.

>>7833597
Yeah, look at IBM and how stupid they are with Stellar. Look how stupid they are with their IBM Blockchain commercials during the NFC/AFC championships on national television. Everyone listen to this random anon who's probably the CEO of a company even bigger than IBM. You should get a tripcode and show us your ways, anon.

>>7833678
Thats all you got? IBM commercials? Stellar? A skeleton of a company milking in the latest fad to position itself as trendy?
Blockchain is just a distributed database, any other miracle you'd like to pat above that is pure hype.
I mean, Google buying back a fork of their own browser, which is opensource... right. I don't need tripcodes, common sense should be enought for anyone.
Sorry to break your weak shill anon.

>>7833961
Ohhhh you're a nocoiner, gotcha gotcha cool cool. Good luck with that, big guy.

>>7833961
I made over a million usd using welfare and selling runescape gold who gives a fuck about the viability of the technology when crypto is a licence to print money

holy sheit, Google can get sued to fuck if they were just blocking it because it's a competitor, the fact they are doing this makes me think it's true as they know they arent getting sued for it

Ill need some proof OP

Everyone that works for Brave hates everything that YouTube stands for.

Brendan would never sell to Google. Brave is Pied Piper, Google is Hooli.

>>7834514

>>7834097
No I'm a coiner, I invest in use cases where blockchain actually makes sense, which is like 20% of the projects outthere, everything else is FAD
>>7834252
Yup thats what crypto is good, I did too, how that disproves my point? People who are in this for the long run with big pockets give a fuck, thats why you see soo many stagnant and dead coins. You should give a fuck too if you wanna make it instead of being sponfeed by pajeets like OP.

>>7834646
BAT will be the biggest gainer of 2018 if the rumors around the office are true.

>>7834986
> Rumors
Sure anon, BAT will overtake both BTC and ETH and even fucking USD.
For someone that supposedly works in the advertising industry, your shill game is pretty pathetic. Please stop, you failed.

>>7835179
I don't own any BAT.
I don't work in the advertisement industry either. I will post a thread tomorrow when PhillyDs video gets pulled. (His first one already did.)

Watch for the bounce and potential break of the trend. 2 big green candles are forming as the news starts to leak.

Even if that's true, I still don't care enough to buy it or use it.

where dem ppts

OP could actually be legit. I am somewhat familiar with the online ad industry and know how it works. This outcome would be nothing but totally expected.

>>7832454
Getting pretty desperate holding onto those bags? Whoever believes this bullshit deserves to be fucking poor. BAT is a shit token and Brave is a shit browser.

>>7833961
Shut up and go away. If you hate crypto and blockchains, why would you ever put this site your URL bar. Unless... Someone is paying you... Did anyone else see that story last week about how the Polish Central Bank got caught paying some youtubers to make videos to FUD crypto in general? I'd link, but phone posting and it was in Polish, lol

If you're right, I'll be retiring soon and will be happy to show you some love.

Google should be extremely threatoned by Dtube, Steemit, Dlive, Brave and Bat. It would make complete sense for them to try to fuck with things. Google will not be able to compete at all once people realize the potential of crypto to reward content creators.

BTW source on Philly D vid going down? I watched it but can't remember what date it was put out so I can check. I don't really wanna go through all his videos.

>>7832744
Thanks anon, this will do nothing but good for BAT

>>7834646
You're dumb as hell if you don't see all the potential uses. It'll probably end up ushering in a super fucked up dystopian and intrusive period, but advertisers, manufacturers, and BAT holders will make a shit load of money.

>>7835250
Bart barker video is back up....why would they put it back up?

>>7833597
Holy shit, this is not about blockchain. You have no idea what you're talking about. This is about ads. Do you even know what BAT is about? It directly colludes with Google.

If OP speaks the truth, then this decision of theirs would be not even surprising.

>>7835179
>>7834646
BAT is a very niche thing, it never in the universe intended to overthrow anything. Besides, this is not about "how blockchain can be applied in real world", this is about one particular field - online advertisement

The Philly D video is still up you fucking shill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_fqzg8PNgY

>>7833165
80% of my stack is in BAT. No need to lie for BAT to succeed.

It's the only one of a handful of cryptos with an actual working product that people can use right now if they want.

Comfiest hold of 2018

>>7835881
>online advertisement

Phones, TV's, refrigerators... which of those aren't online? The only advertising left not online is magazines and newspapers and how well are they doing?

Question for you, how big do you think the advertising industry is?

Incredulous, not butthurt. I don't understand why its not obvious what this project can do. Maybe it'll never work right, or maybe another project will come along and do it better. But for the time being this seems like a no brainer.

>>7832744
When will there be a public announcement? 2 days? 2 weeks? 2 months?

>>7836807
Before February ends.

>>7837092
Thanks - moving 1/3 of my stack into it ASAP. What's your price target on it post-announcement?

>>7837179
dude if hes actually not larping there is no target

>>7837189
I...I want to believe

>>7832454
This is either yuge news or some next level shilling. im not sure which.

>>7837092
Can you tell us about Youtube's business model regarding BAT? Are they going to discontinue 3rd party advertising and have users tip video uploaders with BAT? Are they going to have 3rd party advertisers pay youtube with BAT? Why do they need to use BAT? Can't they use any crypto? What makes BAT special that it is the only crypto that can be used to pay content creators?

Youtube generages $4 Billion in ad revenue per year. BAT's market cap is $400 Million right now.

YouTube won't support Brave or BAT you fucking idiots.

>durr hurr fundamentally change our ad model and also support a guy who was kicked out of Mozilla for being against gay marriage

>>7837822
It sounds believable though. I don't know what to think. I just really hope this is true.
>>7832744
Post screenshot or larp confirmed

i dont think theyre gonna let politics get in the way of saving their business

>>7835250
His video is still up. However if your prediction tomorrow comes true I will buy a significant portion of bat I can gautantee that.

Unless you are larping and actually are Philly D and this is an elaborate plot to pump the price and dump your bat on us...

>>7832454
Ok OP. I don't really know what BAT is, but I can only assume BAT is posing a threat to youtube?

But how?

>>7836367
2 million+ people just got shilled BAT
why is this dumping again?

>>7834445
agreed

>>7837987
it enables content creators to circumvent youtube's tyrannical monetization policy

Look at the BAT chart. If this information was circulating among even just a million dollars worth of capital, which it made it here down the grape vine, we would be seeing some significant green candles.

Youtube is currently blocking any major content creators from promoting BAT/Brave on any of their videos because its their direct competition, if they let any of their major content creators openly shill for the competition it will hurt them on the long run, not because of HURR DURR SUPER SECRET BUYOUT

Jesus christ this is common sense 101 faggots

>>7838109
youtube definitely has no reason nor interest in relinquishing any degree of control of their funding stream. BAT is the kind of thing google would not want to happen. If you had a product, why would you ever help promote a decentralized variant of it to compete with you. They probably block it on youtube to make sure it dies.

>>7838129
this. BAT is much more likely to partner with Facebook than Google.
>>7838161
I dont believe this larper either desu

>>7837943
That right there would be a twist for the ages.

Still waiting on that screen shot the flood gates will open if you can give any proof

>>7838161
people here also believed that the cinese government was partnered with Antshares/NEO LMAO

>>7838299
dont hold your breathe

>>7838036
That Phil D video is a month old, dumb fuck. I have 50% of my portfolio in BAT. So I'm comfy either way

>>7837870
OH this is that guy? Awesome. Buying BAT to support him. Fuck discrimination in the guise of social justice horse shit.
>>7838109
>>7838161
Why wouldn't they buy TRX then? It's got way better chances to do the same with an 80+ strong dev team and more public awareness.

Anyone FOMOing about it?

>>7838961
no

>>7832744
>The plan is to acquire BAT/Brave and rebrand it to YouCoin
lol ok, that actually would defeat the whole purpose of the token

According to what little I have read, one of the benefits of BAT is that users get paid in BAT to view ads (or turn off their adblocker).

>>7839092
The whole purpose of BAT is to destroy Facebook and Google's ad revenue model including their shitty trackers and rewards model - there is no way Eich is teaming up with YouTube - his target to destroy

I am bullish af for BAT but where the fuck are the screenshots cunt

I work in Google's business acquisition department. Only posting this because I'm behind 7 proxies.

It may cost me my job, but I can prove that OP is a larp.

>>7839215
In January, the CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, Randall (((Rothenberg))), ripped into Brave and other ad blockers in a speech at the US internet advertising trade body’s annual leadership conference.

Of Brave, he said: “

The latest ad-blocking company is a Web browser startup called “Brave.” It was launched by former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, whose last major investment was in banning gay marriage in California. His business model not only strips advertisements from publishers’ pages — it replaces them with his own for-profit ads.

THIS is the true face of ad blocking. It is the rich and self-righteous, who want to tell everyone else what they can and cannot read and watch and hear — self-proclaimed libertarians whose liberty involves denying freedom to everyone else.

Eich is literally BATMAN fighting the good fight

>>7840066
O P THE PEOPLE DEMAND SCREENSHOTS

>>7840252
>whose last major investment was in banning gay marriage in California

It's a larp, but if ANY crypto company would be bought by big player, chances are high that it would only be for a few patents and that they would trash the coin, either for good or to replace it with their own (which would screw everyone who had the old one). The have ZERO legal responsibility toward current coin owners, and they wouldn't say 'oh, let's give these nerds a few million dollars, we're good guys after all'.

>>7840252
January 2016 lol

>>7832744
GIVE US THE FUCKING SCREENSHOTS!!!!

fake

Some time last year, I was playing with the idea that I have my ad blocker disabled for YouTube and I want to be rewarded for every second I spend on their ads. I like the 1000 "YouTube Points" for $5 redemption type of shit system that any other pay-to-view do. This rumor is a much better idea.

>>7840252
Eich is the fucking man

>>7832744
I like BAT but i know this is bullshit because companies don't send PowerPoints "across departments". They send memos/PDFs. OP is a child who has never worked a day in his life.

>>7832744
You were supposed to destroy Google! Not join it!

>>7832744
Oh boi, those are some heavy bags you holding friend.

>>7832454
Literal CIA have leaked stuff here. We just called it fake and gay.

>>7832744
Still has 1 dollar purpose

/biz/ hasn't been shilling BAT very much, so it probably has good potential.

>>7841111
checked, bat is a literal shitcoin
you can't even convince normies to use an adblocker let alone a different fucking browser

>>7840399
Brave has made it clear that if you buy them you have to have the token too. Its been discussed in the subreddit a couple of times.

Disregard this post.

>>7841111
Sweet mother of balls whats gonna happen next

>>7832454
Somehow I doubt it but I already hold a good amount of BAT so I'll be fine either way.

I work at Google and can prove it. What team are you on? Wanna meet on campus tommorow to talk in person?

How do they buy out BAT, like as in the brand name and integration into browsers and rebrand it to their own?

Hmmm there was a thread here before from a psychic maybe a month back saying good things will come to BAT and the month May was when it reached its peak of 50$ seems hard to believe but there is always stranger shit

>>7841831
Acquisition and rebranding, albeit the Brave team still has to accept the offer. Negotiations and contractual paperwork, may take months.

>>7841928
Yeah, something is going on. Also I'm still not convinced. I want to dig deeper but I don't want to doxx him so giving up is best option for me

>>7841904
>>7841928
Oh shit OP might be legit.
Let's all accumulate and make note of brave/bat censoring.

Im already 1K in BAT but it's just incubating until ad services are released later in the year, i doubt there will be much movement before then.

>>7835843
also Google is known to do shit like this. They wanted to buy Twitch.tv early on.

I don't want Google or Facebook anywhere near Brave for at least a couple of years.

Brave/BAT have immense potential and these slug corporations would just leach all of that potential until it's nothingness.

>>7832454
Congrats on this. Seriously.

I'm one of the top 500 bat holders so if this is legit I'll have made it with gusto. If its a larp thanks anyways op, I'm enjoying the dream.

>>7841928
holy shit OP is legit

>>7838119
Only legitimate argument in here

>>7841561
>would google go SJW
answer is yes

AHHHHHH IS THIS BULLSHIT OR NOT

>>7838119

Good point. Not only this, but BAT has been slowly bleeding for weeks now.

If BAT had a heartbeat you might mistake it for being dead, that's how bad BAT has looked this month. Nonetheless, it's well-known that just a few whales own like half of BAT and that's why we don't see much movement. BAT is owned by a few people who refuse to sell.

>>7842545
No idea, maybe buy some BAT and strap in for the ride??

>>7832454
Is that Andrew Dice Clay?

>>7842546
We're in between introduction and a long gap to actual implementation. Most of us are just holding until ad services come in the summer.

>>7842546
depends on how you're measuring. When bitcoin was at 6k, BAT hit a low of $0.25. When it rallied up to 9k-10k, BAT was at $0.37-0.38.

It's been following BTC price movement pretty closely until recently

Think about this rationally, do you actually think that YouTube (Google) would take BAT and use it for it's intended purpose? I mean they use their monetary policy in effect to censor YouTube content creators. They're not going to buy and rebrand only to simply allow BAT to function in that capacity unrestricted. If anything they'd buy to suppress it. Google and YouTube tow the line of social fascism through the narrative of "hate speech." All of a sudden they are going to 180 and embrace a technology born out of the demand their agenda is ideologically opposed to?

>>7842685
Except total supply is still 50% higher than circulating supply so if Google wanted they could mint themselves 500,000,000 BAT after buying it.

Buy on the rumor I guess. What the fuck is this shit.

I hope Brendan is right wing because he's been based as FUCK in every other aspect so far. It's amazing to be on the ground floor of BAT, Brendan didn't need to allow us to invest in this new media paradigm, it would still be successful without such an early ICO and Brendan would top the fucking Forbes list by being able to retain more BAT through to mainnet. Because Brendan is as wise and generous as he is brilliant I think he realized that the economic benefit the masses would realize from being able to participate as venture capitalists was the right thing to do for the world. ~5 years and he will be considered one of the greatest tech visionaries of the 21st century, I wouldn't doubt it if the BAT mainnet outlived Brendan and maybe a few generations of his descendents. Men like Brendan are going to build new mediums that will exist as cornerstones of tech well past our time.

>>7841561
Thanks OP, you are a gent.

This shows you are legit, and this is believable, to me at least.

I've been saying for weeks to buy before end May/June and OP's tweet here is on the money (even if Brendan has used a technically incorrect letter in his first reply).

It's going back up, boys! Accumulating!!!

>>7845410

>>7845762

Just fomo'd into BAT again. I was gonna do it soon anyway, but this larp convinced me to do so a bit sooner.

Buy the rumour, sell the news. If PD posts a video about it like OP claims then you can bet my ass I'm going to FOMO in, until now I'm going to wait.

>>7846408

>buy the rumour, sell the news
>I will now explain how i am going to buy the news

What would theoretically happen to current bat tokens if this happened?

BAT is an hidden gem anw, very low MCAP and useful product. Of course it's gonna moon this year. Idc if this specific rumor is false, the product is solid and moving quickly through the roadmap :)

>>7846532
If PhillyD posts a video about BAT today then it proves that OP is not a larping faggot and may possibly be telling the truth. Otherwise I'm not going to throw my money at it.

Lol why are u all falling for this LARP
