Bought in at .10
feel good man

>there are anonymous posters on the business section of this anime website that still don’t “get” BAT

finding it hard to imagine being this fucking stupid bros.

lol how much more proof do butters need that this thing is going to explode?

>>13172780

We get it. It's just a shitcoin with no value.

>>13172808
>no value

>>13172808
Dump this shit coin while you still can, no one's using it.

>>13172898
exactly. we don't need retards buying it. there is no adoption. bat sucks.

>>13172921
> I THINK THAT BAT SUCKS

>>13172705
Fucking Birdchain is more developed and further along than this piece of shit.

And Birdchain has a $280k market cap!

This overpriced piece of shit is going to dump so fucking hard

>the absolute state of crypto where trash like this can be valued so fucking high

BAT IS A PIECE OF SHIT

If BAT isn't going to make it, then honestly what is? Serious question.

Sitting 100% all in on BAT is really comfy. Seeing its userbase and publisher base growing exponentially is pretty cool too.

>>13172980
>shhh

>>13172968
Nobody cares about your faggoty birdchain. Quit trying to leech of BAT threads to make your shitty token happen.

>Talking about a $280k marketcap like its a good thing

Just tried out the nightly build for ad rewards. I got to say there is a kinda switch that goes off when you're rewarded for your attention. Even if it's not much, I feel more oblige to see the offer. I see this effect multiplaying in stride as BAT moons.

There's two things coming up that are going to escalate the price:

1) The Brave team is going to be releasing some new news soon on metrics. Expected to be positive (browser dL #'s, bat usage, quantify adoption more, etc)

2) Version 1 is dropping in what? 3 months? Less than 3 months? To the mooooon


I bought my entire stack (25k coins) at 12 cents. Am currently evaluating if I should inject more fiat now at 27 cents or hold off for another dip. Problem is, since it touched 30 cents, this may be it for retracement.

>>13173007
Honestly i wish Eich has shut his big mouth when he said "you can make 70 bucks per year" he didn't realize how bad that sounded. he didn't even explain that bat is a speculative asset and is going to appreciate in value. so that arbitrary dollar amount he slapped on it was really retarded.

>>13173025
Ya I think that was it for the retrace, we're probably at the bottom of the cup and handle now.

>>13173027
Eich knows what he's doing. Who really gives a fuck what the fags in r/cc think, they're the biggest retards in crypto right behind the twitter cunts that unironically follow crypto cobain. Wait until kids in middle school start hearing that you can make at least $70 a year without your parents knowing. You want to see adoption? There you go.

>>13173040
Still sounds like chump change. Least he could have done is explain the speculative nature of bat and appreciated value. For real. Eich needs to close his cocksucker. He's a software dev. Not PR person.

>>13172773
same. peak comfy.

>>13172994
Fuck you and your overpriced garbage. The correction is not over and all these overpriced projects like Link, bat, ETC, BTCSV, LTC are going to all suffer.

>>13173048
Chill brah, I know we're all eager to see BAT fly but there's a lot of compliance issues to consider when it come's to talking about the price of a token that has no clear guidance as far as the SEC is concerned. We all know the money users will make from seeing BAT will be a non-trivial amount, but Eich can't say that because then it opens him up for lawsuits. He does have to give a value though so it might as well be a reasonable one.

Homie just can't go out and so "ya you're probably gonna make around 1k a year". That's a bad look.

>>13173073
BAT already decoupled you flaming charlatan. Its on its own trajectory now for the most part. Can't say the same for those other shitcoins.

>>13173027
Do you moonboy retards even know how BAT works? That $70 has to come from advertisers injecting money into the system. There aren’t enough advertisers on the planet to give a bunch of poor losers and pajeets that kind of money every year, nor would they want to even if they could.

>>13173607
do you now know how supply and demand works? bat is a fixed supply token. advertisers must buy bat to advertise on brave. now put two and two together...

>>13173082
The dump is coming. You are just high on gains right now newfag. The only way this keeps going up is if ETH and BTC keep going up, then we all make it. Otherwise BATfags are going to get caught laying on their bellies and end up getting fucked. Your giant marketcap coins are all overpriced and you delusional fags need to come back to reality. The BAT product isn’t even better than Birdchain’s product.

Slack and Vimeo are currently running Brave ads, brainlets here are gonna miss the next pump again lol

>>13173719
wtf is birdchain? sounds a lot like butt chain lol. i've literally never heard of it until now.

>>13173719
> k

>>13173607
Nah, not how it works. Advertisers aren’t giving users money directly and they’re not paying users fiat. They buy an ad campaign for $X (in fiat) which is then used by Brave to purchase BAT. That BAT is split, part goes to Brave, part to the publishers, part to users.

Advertisers aren’t giving users $70 a year. Brave is giving users X BAT a year. Eich made a calculation that that amount of BAT could end up being around $70/year. BAT’s value in fiat obviously isn’t based entirely off how much advertisers put into the system. Therefore your “advertisers can’t afford to pay neets/pajeets $70 a year” is a fucking nonsequitor and retarded, irrelevant comment. Literally does not apply to the way BAT/Brave works at all.

>>13173821
Do not encourage. Birdchain is one anons 'project' that he pumped part of his stack into to get more sheckels.

>>13172705
Charts are nice, bullish.

>>13173867
God DAMN you are fucking stupid. That money is all just coming from thin air then?

>>13172968
600 birdchain tokens have been deposited into your account Rajesh.

>>13173073
>27 cents
>overpriced

god damn you pajeets have no concept of price.

How much of this is comfy my lads? I want to buy some more but it's not going down

>>13174703
No you fucking idiot.

>IS BITCOIN VALUE JUST COMING FROM THIN AIR?????
>WHY BITCOIN WORTH $X??????

There are a lot of reasons something is valued at a certain amount, you absolute fucking cretin. I'm not going to explain BAT's token valuation to you. Wrap your head around the fact that users are not getting paid in FIAT, they're getting paid in BAT. BAT's value IN PART is influenced by how many advertisers are buying advertising on the Brave platform, but that does not, in ANY means, equate to "ADVERTISERS MUST PAY PAJEET $70 A YEAR HURRRRR".

>>13174946
Nobody even said that. You invent straw men to argue with because your IQ is too low to handle nuance. Ultimately the only way people can get paid for surfing with Brave is a combination of money coming into the system, mostly from advertisers and also from morons like you buying BAT. It's a retarded scheme that only makes sense to get rich quick crypto brainlets.

>>13175121
>Nobody even said that

>>13173607
>$70 has to come from advertisers injecting money into the system. There aren’t enough advertisers on the planet to give a bunch of poor losers and pajeets that kind of money


Just shut the fuck up lol. You're out of your element here.

>>13175160
Ads are served regionally.

Richard.

>>13175310
STOP

>>13175160
You are confusing payouts with the value of BAT, which are related but not the same thing. This is an example of an Enron type scheme where it's deliberately convoluted so people who aren't great with complexity can be tricked into investing.

>>13175526
No, you're misunderstanding how the system works. Maybe on purpose.

Someone claimed >>13173607 "There aren’t enough advertisers on the planet to give a bunch of poor losers and pajeets that kind of money." I stated >>13173867 "Advertisers aren’t giving users money directly and they’re not paying users fiat." Therefore that was an stupid irrelevant comment, as advertisers are not giving users "that kind of money," they're paying in BAT which derives value from lots of different aspects. Then you come in and say >>13174703 "That money is all just coming from thin air then?", to which I reply "You're a fucking tool, I just explained this, the advertisers aren't paying users this money, BRAVE is paying users in BAT, which works accordingly": >>13175229

You keep confusing yourself and you have terrible reading comprehension that you can't keep up. You misunderstood what I was saying and for some reason didn't read the posts I was replying to. Once again, you're out of your element.

>>13175526
Also,
>This is an example of an Enron type scheme where it's deliberately convoluted so people who aren't great with complexity can be tricked into investing.

This is fucking hilarious. "I can't understand how BAT works; therefore it's deliberately convoluted and also nobody understands it"

that's the most brainlet thing I've ever heard lmao. Fucking idiots on this board.

I want ads to die as an industry; that’s why I’ve failed to understand every ad moon mission from Facebook to BAT. I want that entire swathe of the industry dead and buried, BAT just seems like a fancy way to do something I’m blocking no matter what.

>>13175684
Yeah well the beauty of Brave it you can straight up block ads forever. There's no need to toggle BAT Ads on if you don't want to see them. Brave's built-in adblock is one of the best ad blockers out there for 3rd party ads, trackers, and malicious adware.

Brave's whole idea is that BAT will have lots of possible uses outside BAT Ads.

some people here don't realize that everyone on biz loves bat and has a huge bag. some of us fud bat on purpose because we know how good of a project it is. quit falling for the fud bait gents

>>13175684
yeah good luck killing an industry that's been around longer than you've been alive.

So I actually downloaded Brave because I earned BAT from Coinbase. And I can't earn rewards yet? Wtf is this shit? Why would I use this over Chrome

>>13176192
they are already dying. everyone uses ad blockers now. and when brave sees mass adoption all of the ads will be eradicated permanently. it's already over.

>>13176192
Not only that there's nothing wrong with ads. They're just out of control on the internet.

>>13176201
it's built on chrome you dumb fuck.

>>13176201
>And I can't earn rewards yet?
BAT Ads are only on the Dev Browser at the moment, they're still testing them. Version 1.0 will release BAT Ads later this year on the main browser. We're early.

>Why would I use this over Chrome
Built in ad-block, doesn't sell your personal information to 3rd parties, isn't tracking your every click like Google, etc. etc.

>>13176244
>Built in ad-block
That doesn't work on sites like Pornhub (where it would be the most important) and launches popups.

>>13176328
it blocks pop ups too.

>>13176244
I'm using the dev browser but I havent seen any ads yet

>>13176244
> BAT Ads are only on the Dev Browser at the moment, they're still testing them. Version 1.0 will release BAT Ads later this year on the main browser. We're early.


Ah ok gotcha thanks anon

BAT unironically about to step up again. Charts are looking fuckin joocy.

>>13175683
>"I can't understand how BAT works; therefore it's deliberately convoluted and also nobody understands it"
I was talking about you, you pleb. For example you're so caught up in the specifics of the payment flow that you gloss over the point everyone keeps making about BAT that party A ultimately has to (even if indirectly) pay party B to look at their ads which has never worked. The reason it doesn't work is that there's a mismatch between who advertisers are willing to pay to reach and who is willing to look at ads for money. People willing to do that are poor, they know they are being advertised to (unlike for example search engine ads which blend in with the results), and in Brave's case they can't be laser targeted like on Facebook and Google because it's a "privacy" browser. People harp on how great Eich is because of Javascript (kek) but he's going against with people 1,000 times smarter than him at Google who dominate not only this business but several others and who created the platform Brave is most popular on (Android) and the technology it's based on (Chromium).

>>13177219
uhh..slrlrk,.....slrkrk

>>13176963
Not for me. And no, I don't have a virus. Latest version of Brave.

>>13176328
A ton of sites don't work with the shields up nor do live stream players and embedded videos. Imgur doesn't load images - so much for them being the rumoured 80m unique visitor partner. It's utterly pointless using the browser if I have to view pop up ads and suffer slow page loading times.
>>13177057
And to top it off I still haven't seen any ads. I've tipped my own site and I'm sending the UGP funds to my site this month. But no ads, and I've been using dev. since day one of release. Its not my region, neither is it focus assist or any other bollocks they grasp at. It's not working as advertised. Pun intended.

>>13177277
You've gone way beyond believable FUD to just straight up retarded pajeet tier lies anon.

>>13177277
Why haven't you submitted a bug report then? You are a beta tester after all. And its a scumbag move to tip you're own site. Not gonna make it.

Also which site's don't work with the shields down? Post a list so we can try them and then tell you you're full of shit.

>>13177277
>tips his own site
>thinks hes going to make it

>>13177258
i mean it has a pop up blocker built in. what's happening is that particular pop up url probably hasn't been cataloged yet in their database. once it is you'll never see it again.

>>13177316
Excuse me, my african american negro friend, but all of what I wrote is true. It may be different on your devices, but I ain't no liar. For instance, embedded soundcloud tracks also don't work even with the shields down.
>>13177321
You are as retarded as the previous post. You can't see past your own bubble. The same bugs may not be present on your device.
I have reported some, some have been resolved. Like the non loading of youtube videos when opened in a new tab. Its a dev version. I expect issues, but implying that I'm lying about said issues is the sign of an emotional investor.
>>13177342
I've been tipping my site since March 2018. I've accumulated over 200 BAT. I always send some to small verified sites and youtube channels to ensure that its not obvious. But the lions share goes to me, 80%+. I've been telling /biz/ ti do the same for months.
>t. Accumulating since October 2017

>>13177439
>I've been tipping my site since March 2018
none of that matters anyway. i think brave actually takes 5% of all tips anyway. so while you where paying yourself you also paid brave as well. eventually the free token giveaway thing will end and the pajeet problem will be over. you worked the system. good for you. but it has no effect on bat.

you got balls of steel? supply it to compound.finance, borrow some DAI or ETH, buy more bat....leverage that shiiiit

>>13177439
Ok fair enough.

>>13177465
Ya they're volume actually helps the platform either way right now. So tip away I guess.

>>13172705
>muh browser plugin token
Fucking idiot

>people 1,000 times smarter than him at Google
senpai pls

>>13177848
You've never met a software engineer have you... even their executive suite isn't that impressive anymore. Alphabet has peeked and their starting to collapse under their own weight as a company.

>>13172705
I remember when it was at $0.38...

>>13177992
Where do you think its going to be by the end of the week anon....

> .40

So no dump just pump after pump. Something big is coming.

>>13178096
The hype train is about to leave the station. Its its going to be the most legitimate direct partnerships crypto has ever seen. The time has come.

Remember last qeek when ZCL was $1. Yea, me too. Faggot. Gains shit on your pussycoin

>>13178096


This.

This may all be insider's buying. The BAT team is probably about to release some positive news.


I'm way more bullish than others - I'm predicting 42 cents by Friday

>>13177992
blame bitcoin for that shit. it spent most of last year having fantastic rallies that got shot the fuck down when bitcoin decided it wanted to go from 12k to 3k in a matter of months.

>>13178124
shit I hope so, BAT is my #1 holding. only managed to get 40k BAT

>>13178576
Good example you retarded cum slut ass bimbo.

>>13178624
simmer down now, and buy some bat, you'll feel better.

>>13172705
I have a question about Brave, can I keep the BAT that I generate watching ads or can I only give it to jews?

>>13176192
Killing online entities that stand in his way is a hobby to Brendan Eich at this point.

>>13178678
you can keep the BAT you generate for yourself and withdraw it for your own personal usage but it would be a better idea to pay that BAT forward to websites you frequent or streaming sites you frequent. thats the only way adoption will occur is if we all use our earned BAT to pour it back into the ecosystem. if everyone hoards or uses it for themselves advertisers will step away from it

>>13178678
this >>13178819 is correct but at the moment you can only earn BAT on the Dev Browser since it's in such an early stage. On the Dev Browser you can't keep the BAT, can only donate

>>13177879
anon Im saying good things about bat stfu and yes plenty they are overpaid spergs with wireless headphones

>>13178965
> RRRRREEEEEE I SAID SHUT UP

>>13179003
let's call it a misunderstanding and agree that $1 bat is possible? also reminder "software engineers" are overpaid spergs with wireless headphones but I didn't say anything let's keep the money coming in ok?

>>13178624
Forsooth, why are you not telling me to bugger off with the humble telegram? they've been around nigh ten times as long as this newfangled Internet contraption after all!

Brave has been my main web browser on Android since April 2017, but I'm not deluded enough to believe that BAT will be massively adopted or that it will moon. It's just like all those other shitcoins with incredible potential out there when you read their whitepaper, in the end it's not what matters sadly. Most if not all people don't care about the tech they're only interested in making quick gains

>>13172705
Sell bat
LOL

I got some free at around 12 cents, then I bought some at around 21-22. Is it a good or bad idea to buy some more at the current price range of 27-30?

>>13172814
>>13172898
>Imagine being this cucked to pay for fake news.

>>13181099
i would say bad. Its gonna correct soon

>>13177219
Thhhhiiisss. BATards think their token will have value when the fact is that no one wants to advertise to poor people. And that's exactly who will have ads turned on. There's absolutely no chance for BATards to overcome this.

>>13181926
Sell it all boys, they're absolutely right. Just called my dad's friend who was in marketing and he had no idea who Eich was. Bad sign.

>>13173027
$70 is more than most people on the planet make in a year. BAT encourages you to ingest Western media for money, which is how we incentivize being indoctrinated.
