Long time BATbro here. Have always held at least a small bag since 2017. Had to sell off a lot of crypto at the top two weeks ago to pay off some things that needed paying. BAT was about 0.65 at the time.

Almost got rid of my whole bag (800), but I just couldn't do it, because something inside me knows that BAT is here to stay for a very long time. Still have 207 BAT left, and definitely plan on scooping up at least another 300 again soon.

get in now.

Grayscale was rumored to be exploring BAT trust in January.

Well, today, Grayscale releases official PR with assets they are exploring for addition:
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/02/26/2183479/0/en/Grayscale-Investments-Announces-Exploration-of-New-Investment-Products.html

BAT in list.

"but list is long, and they mention 'exploring', not confirmed" ...I hear you fudding pajeets mumbling.

well, here's what's different about BAT.

the January rumor included public filings from Grayscale to establish BAT trust.

only a small sample of tokens in the list in PR today were among the tokens Grayscale filed trust paperwork for.

Looks like we're in at Grayscale, just matter of time.

if you look at Grayscale holdings, alts (minus ETH) all have a range between $20MM-$34MM in assets on Grayscale books.

Here's why BAT holdings may be significantly higher on Grayscale:

- Brave has +25m monthly users
- Grayscale is advertising with Brave Ads; they can accumulate BAT to use for media spend.
- Let's assume Grayscale advertises with $100K/mo in Brave...or more, to get optimal customer growth.

going to moon batbros - fudders can eat shit.

When you only consider payment, then sure, you could certainly just pay users with ETH, right?
However, having their own token, which is highly correlated to their performance as a business, puts more pressure on the Brave team to perform and outperform their previous selves in order to maintain the value of the token. In other words, ETH will always have its own value, and it may always be relatively high. But BAT will only have value if the infrastructure is there to support it.
I'm also confused by this statement:
>The difference I see is they have control over BAT's distribution, meaning they can dump on people holding it to fund themselves.
This only strengthens the previous argument. The team has not only a duty, but an obvious need to build impressive infrastructure around their token and maintain it in order to appease what are essentially shareholders. Remember that the Brave team gives 70% of ad revenue to users, so users are supposed to benefit the most from this anyways.
While they certainly could dump, dumping BAT onto users would only be useful if they believed BAT was overvalued and that the price would go down.
btw BAT token distribution is as follows:
>https://basicattentiontoken.org/static-assets/documents/BasicAttentionTokenWhitePaper-4.pdf
>Total BAT: 1.5 Billion
>Brave Team gets 200 Million BAT
>User growth pool started at 300 million BAT
>Token available to public at launch: 1 Billion BAT
Continuing on the dumping topic, given that this is an ERC-20 token, savvy users can easily use etherscan to find out these dealings behind the scenes if need be. That is, ofc, if Brave has some need to not announce such things publicly. Allow me to remind you that Brave is still an advertising business, and bad press could be bad for all those partnerships who advertise on the Brave platform.
BAT gets its value from people believing that it has a use case. It's pretty obviously essential in many ways that BAT needs to be its own unique token.

You mention that the Brave team has an interest in their project because it's tied to their token.
This is only the case precisely because they get real value from dumping it. Holding onto all of their BAT until the end of time wouldn't do anything for them.

Remember, we are talking about what value is generated for people holding this token, not for whatever vague value is generated from only holding the token that is 'tied' to the project's success. This project is centralized and profit seeking, and there's no reason why BAT's price should link up to its success apart from its exposure, and even then, it'd just be pumping on speculation.

A big reminder that Brave prices their ad's in USD and it's optional to even purchase them using BAT instead of USD, there is no product that this token is actually tied to. Brave doesn't believe in their own token.

Its utility is for Brave to have a dev fund and you never said any benefit for anyone else to hold it, only reasons why being dumped on is actually a good thing.

Clearly they do, given roadmap 2.0
>This is only the case precisely because they get real value from dumping it.
Once again, when they do dump it, we will all know, and act accordingly. Right now, they are not dumping it on users as far as I know, in fact, they are buying back tokens right now as seen on their monthly BAT token buyback feed. So that gives me comfort in investing right now.
I still don't know what you're trying to get at. The token has an obvious function in that it is directly tied to their value as a company, as well as the value of their product and business.
>Remember, we are talking about what value is generated for people holding this token, not for whatever vague value is generated from only holding the token that is 'tied' to the project's success
Precisely. Read roadmap 2.0. Use the browser. Verify wallet. The proof's in the pudding. Token has a use. Token has value. Token is needed. Sure, there may be alternatives, but I don't see the alternatives being any better. BAT has the potential to form a new ecosystem, which is planned in roadmap 2.0. I believe in the team and their ability to deliver in a timely manner. That's why I invest. That's why BAT has value to me. I am part of the market--one needs to think that way in order to understand and navigate asset price action.
I don't know how I can explain this any better.

>This shows that you have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, you can buy ads priced in USD but Brave buy the BAT on the advertisers behalf in that case

Okay retard.
If it's priced in USD it means there's no difference between you giving them BAT or selling/buying an equivalent amount to the ad price yourself at ANYTIME. This means BAT never has to be held for this, and the price can fluctuate as much as it wants and ads (and their payouts for users) will still be the same price. This means no advertiser is ever going to purchase BAT in bulk for the purposes of buying advertisements in the future. After this, we have no way to verify whether or not Brave actually keeps this money and buys BAT for themselves, or where the BAT comes from that they pay out (whether it's from the ads or their own stash). This then also requires the recipients to keep their BAT and not sell it.

>>29818554
You're still not telling me what utility this coin has for me or anyone else to hold. It is fundamentally a token that is only used as a medium of exchange, which is accepted far less than something like BTC or LTC, which I see as basically useless objectively compared to other coins purely from a tech perspective. Basically every crypto can be used to exchange value.

When I said they don't believe in their product, I shouldn't have said that exactly. It's more that they do believe in their product, but in its ability to generate themselves money. So they'll keep this going on as long as they can profit from it. The point is that they don't value their token more than the USD it can make for them.

I'm literally typing this from Brave browser and have used it plenty, I like Brave but I just don't see the use in holding BAT because I know there is a negative pressure on it, being that I'll be funding the dev team and getting nothing back from it apart from potentially getting lucky on speculation, which is not unique to BAT at all.

I can sorta tell what you're getting at, which is why I really want to tear this down. I'm mature enough to admit that. What I think is that Brave is clearly a decent browser in and of itself. So, without its own unique token, here's what its entire use case would be going forward:
-Reward users in ETH
-Likely still have the Uphold BS because that was a symbiotic relationship that helped both parties.
-Allow users to tip creators in ETH
-Give discounts to Brave users by having them enter login information, likely from Uphold. If not uphold then perhaps by exchange or something.
So this adds up, everything seems fine here.
Now I'm going to look at the benefits of having a unique ERC-20 token:
-Branding and brand recognition
-BAT is not subject to the specific dilution/distribution methods of ETH itself, this lets Brave figure out the ideal distribution for themselves
-Encourages holders and creators to specifically help grow the BAT ecosystem and promote Brave itself
These seem essential, dude. Regarding what else you said,
>So they'll keep this going on as long as they can profit from it.
Just like any regular business. Right.
>I just don't see the use in holding BAT because I know there is a negative pressure on it, being that I'll be funding the dev team and getting nothing back from it apart from potentially getting lucky on speculation, which is not unique to BAT at all.
This negative pressure you mention. LINK has it. Have you seen LINK's price action? It's still good, it was continuously parabolic up until this year. Fatoshi Betraymoto--that man has dumped many LINK on his holders. And? Does any of that really matter regarding the utility of LINK? Should LINK not exist because it fills Sergey's pockets? Not at all. Will LINK development stop once Sergey sells most of his extra LINK? Probably not, cuz there's a business behind LINK.
Same with BAT. Simple as.

The amount of ads you get is controlled by what is known in the business as the PA-CTR metric, which is short for Pajeet-Adjusted-Click-Through-Rate. Sometimes called π-score in the literature. Brave runs a multiscale hierarchical convolutional deep learning neural network to detect the user's π-score. Yours must be relatively high.

It's also worth mentioning that if advertisers are paying Brave in BAT, and holders of BAT are not willing to sell their BAT at certain prices, that would certainly cause BAT valuation to hike higher (lack of sellers = decreased supply, this is supply and demand)

[Anonymous No.29826906]

>>29825064
Are you really this dumb or are you just pretending? Almost all BAT is in circulation already, where are they magically going to conjure this BAT from then? They even show on their transparency page the amount of BAT they buy every month.

When advertisers run ads on Brave, Brave buys the tokens from the open market, it's the same as directly buying them from BAT holders.

They don't need to buy it in bulk, they buy how many they need for their advertising campaign. If you don't understand how more demand on the token from advertisers put upwards pressure on the token price you're beyond help. Or do you believe that 100% of the BAT recipients will immediately sell off their tokens as soon as they get them? That's a retarded take as well because holding BAT will incentivized and it has use in the ecosystem that they're trying to build.

>I just don't see the use in holding BAT because I know there is a negative pressure on it, being that I'll be funding the dev team and getting nothing back from it apart from potentially getting lucky on speculation, which is not unique to BAT at all.

How is it any different with any other token? Link has weekly dumps from sergey, BTC miners dump their mined BTC monthly, ETH miners dump their mined ETH monthly, POS validators can dump their staking rewards. The only difference is that almost all the BAT tokens are already in circulation, compare that to something like link where not even half the tokens are circulating. the dev fund is almost empty.

LINK has had the same problem as BAT (prior to the recent pump) people complain about it being pretty stable. In LINK's case this is due to dumps, I'm arguing this is likely the case with BAT also. I held BAT for a while and it constantly went nowhere, it'd pump a little then seemingly get dumped on by a whale amount of coins every time. I really still can't explain this and figure there has to be some downward pressure applied to the coin. It's speculation, but it makes sense if the dev team were selling.

But you know what, your other points about the true differences between BAT and ETH are things I hadn't considered I'll admit. But still, they don't really reward holders of the coin directly and are far more centered on making Brave successful, not necessarily the token holders.

desu though, I sold after it kept crabbing for months whilst everything was pumping, so I'm a little mad. I figured there was something keeping it down and now here I am. Guess we'll see if it dumps this time too back to $0.20.

[Anonymous No.29828392]

>>29826906
>How is it any different with any other token?
It's not different, that's my point. It's another token that just acts as a medium of exchange at its core.

Does anyone know the dev fund address? Is this part transparent? I can't find it. If they're dumping in secret, we wouldn't know. If I can get transparency to know they're not selling off, then I'll concede to you.

$100 per BAT would put it at only $150b mcap valuation. That's doable by EOY if BTC pumps past $100k. Ripple went from $0.2 to $4 in 1 month with 10x bigger supply.

>>29828210
You're not wrong on the downward pressure. I have also noted this. I think the key to this is the fact that there is basically the equivalent of giving brave users airdrops every month... which many subsequently just dump back. On the transparency page you see that Brave is consistently buying back around 300,000 BAT every month.

>crabbed, I'm a little mad
Nobody disagrees with you there. Nobody. BAT price action has been complete and total ass since mid-2018. Sure, there have been pumps, but the downward pressure from what are essentially BAT airdrops have naturally and expectedly kept price suppressed. We can't even blame the whales on this. It's literally us.
I personally only came here because BATBTC is actually looking very bullish. I am not here on pure fundamentals. I came here for the nice chart, and stayed for the fundamentals. I am a small-time successful long-term swing trader. Done it on BTC, ETH, LINK, and ADA. Regarding PNK and LIT... I am still awaiting test results. But my intuition on blue-chip cryptos has been pretty reliable, and I spend a lot of time listening to whales and crypto news. Regardless of what they have been saying though, I spotted BAT myself, and it's still currently under the radar of most youtubers and such, and yet... it still has the same price action they would absolutely drool over.
So I may have come off as a fundies buff, but I only even bothered with BAT once I saw that price started showing promising price action.

[Anonymous No.29829259]

>>29828860
If BAT had such a massive pump and gigantic fall over such a short period of time, that would be really sad. So many people would discount it off the terrible price action alone.

Lots of reasons, lower payment cost, anonymity, ability for shared multisig wallets, able to create the UGP plus micropayments are a bitch when it comes to usd. Atm this is their best way of giving value to their users. And on top of all of that your tokens have the potential to go up based on value of the browser itself, if they just paid out usd youd only get the 25 dollars and possibly miss out on that 25 dollars skyrocketing and turning into 250.
