okbro

Hey Batbros, my faith in this shitcoin is waning and I need some batpills. Hit me.

>>22249777
Checked. The market is down, take advantage and get some more. Don’t worry we will recover when everything else does.

>>22249777
its going back to 10 cents

>>22249777
60% of holders bought in at a price higher than it currently is. There is absolutely no more incentive to sell.

Were all gonna make it fren.

>>22249777
BAT will never moon on its own. It always relies on BTC/whole market sentiment. It's a safe bet for a 2-3x, but don't expect anything more than that.

>>22249669
>Brrrrrrappppp
Got you covered, lad.

>>22250123
Shut your pie hole.

>>22250270
Based.

>>22249669
The DFS of tokens then i guess.

>>22249777
Google and facebook took roughly 6-7 years to reach their first $1B in revenue. Brave is just barely 5 years old. Its basically sitting on third base right now. It looks like the bull market is canceled and BAT will look like the only practical coin in the coming years. Load up on the way down and cash in when the time is right. If you thought link was a crazy pump just imagine what BAT could do.

>>22250123
I would never expect anything with this supply and market cap to moon. I'm more than happy with a 2-3x, but my buy-in price averages around 26 cents so I'm kind of btfo

>>22249669
>69
nice

>>22249669
>Brrrrrrappppp
Got you covered, lad.

>>22249862
I fucking wish. We wouldn't stay there long and if we ever touch 10 cents, I'll have my million stack.

>>22249669
Redpill me on BAT. Why should I invest in this shit if it looks like it mooned a long time ago?

Thot requests are live. Whatever you want, I got it and I'll post it.

>>22249669
Hello, Darkness,
My old friend.
I see you've come 'round
To visit again.

What brings you here
And how long will you stay?
Gee, I haven't seen you since,
Well, just the other day!

It seems you must like
Coming to visit me.
And now each time you're gone,
You're all my mind can see.

So dear friend,
Why are you here?
Have you come to warn me
That Love might be near?

Oh, sweet Darkness
I no longer fear Love.
It is like a heavenly blessing
From up above!

You're right,
I know it won't last.
That's what Love does -
Crawls in and runs out, fast.

But I feel this one
In the bottom of my heart.
I don't want to believe
That Love will tear this apart.

OK, my pal,
I guess you win.
You've proven that to love me
Could only be a sin.

No one cares about me,
Hell, they never will!
But why does Love
Have to make me feel this thrill?

Alright, Darkness
My good old friend,
It seems my story
Will now come to an end.

And I know that
Here beside me
Is where
You'll always be.

You'll guide,
You'll haunt.
You'll blind,
You'll taunt.

So take away
My final light
And hold my hand
As I die tonight...

Best photo. I wanted to post it OP

>>22250865
Give me some choice pawgs BATthotposter

>>22250877
Checked. Back to the eternal 25 cents range

>>22250896
You got it, lad.

Can't you hear my silent screams?
They are so loud they echo in my dreams.

Behind this face that carries a smile
Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile.

My silent screams have been going on for years,
But it always falls on so many deaf ears.

How can they hear these silent screams in my mind?
They can't hear my thoughts if I keep telling them I'm fine.

What can I tell them? These silent screams carry no words.
It's just feelings of sadness and darkness that come in its herds.

How can I explain so people understand this?
It's like walking around in a suffocating black mist.

It's holding on to happiness like holding water in your hands.
It just trickles between your fingers and disappears into the sands.

I can't explain how this feels; it's so extreme,
So I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams.

>>22250865
Hnnnnnnngggggg sweet heavens

Them user numbers for August tho wewwwwwww lad we are def gonna make it

How many people are going to switch from Firefox to brave this month

>>22251129
Wow that's just too much ass

>>22251401
Yeah forgot we didnt get those numbers in the last saturday thread
>>22251466 A whole lot. The firefox update dropped on like the 27th. 1 star reviews still flooding in today. Some people will need a little bit of time to find a new browser. Im hoping this month blows out last month by a lot. If brave keeps this up they stand a good chance of becoming the next tech giant.

>>22250319
The bull market is not cancelled lol

>>22251628
Take a look at a chainlink chart. Theres your cheat sheet

>>22250123
Based. BAT is for buying at or under 20 cents and waiting for that annual 1.5-3x to sell. A lower-risk, moderate-reward crypto.

>>22251499
Checked.

Justd back to 20c where it belongs

will be buying some at 15c to lower my average, then selling it at 30c. This will take about a year to complete

>>22252412

Info dump incomping.


Low hanging items we have been working on are likely obvious: Rewards features, publisher and ads payments, getting sync v2 shipped, crypto wallet enhancement, webcompat, etc.

To address the list:

BAT-sense / publisher ads

Interest was decent from verified publishers when we exposed the ability for publishers to opt-in from the publisher dashboard.

We have an MVP, but want to optimize personalization before we put in the wild. Some of this work was also temporarily paused for stability work.

There are some additional optimizations to the existing User ad units we have work in progress for that has been prioritized higher in queue, as they net better rewards for users and added value for advertisers.

Self-service ad manager

Steady progress on this front. Current advertisers can observe this as recently as last week when we rolled out improvements to the reporting dashboards.

We have onboarded an additional set of partners and advertisers to help us test out self-serve.

This will be the pattern for the near-term.

>>22253049
Here's why:

Self-serve brings expectations of 24/7 availability and support. We are ramping resources to handle this, but it will be iterative.

Being 100% real, our ad delivery is different than traditional ad platforms. The delivery cadence and volume is different (users see a max of 1-5 ads/hr in Brave; outside of Brave, they see 3-5 ads per page load). The matching algorithms are different. The pacing is different. Conversion funnel adheres to physics, but the timing is different when you aren't carelessly shotgunning a ton of ads in front of a person.

Audience cohorts are different, and our audiences are growing each month to be more mainstream.

My point with all this is that there has been a lot of daily collaboration between ad operations (through our managed services team), engineering and with our testers to fine tune defaults for each campaign goal and gauge performance across different categories.

We don't want to rush a release to self-serve for advertisers to begin using, and have them in a situation where they operate based on traditional experience, that may end up setting them up for poorer performance than they would have through managed services. Getting the defaults tuned for different campaign goals takes some time, but ultimately sets our self-serve advertisers up for better success.

We are selling in to more broader advertisers, and are factoring in differences from category performance as we go.

BraveVPN

VPN news soon. Stay tuned. Can't say more just yet.

Apollo release

See: https://brave.com/themis/ and https://brave.com/mjolnir-tooling-for-bat-apollo/

Making progress, but aren't dropping dates yet.

>>22253084
Brave Together:

Working on scaling for a Brave Together release across our channels beyond Nightly (I am working on this with the team now).

You can use Brave Together now, for free, in any Brave Channel at https://together.brave.com - please provide feedback when you can.

Doesn't take too much of a stretch to see how we could work BAT into Brave Together in some novel ways.

BAT SKU work

In progress. Some of this effort was on pause during stability work, but has recently resumed.

Again, want to emphasize the importance of stabilizing what we have in market so we can market the product and introduce additional features with the greatest chance of success. We could release a lot of things on shaky ground and end up doing more harm than good.

We are working around the clock, and sometimes updates on progress fall by the wayside. We can do better, and will work on being more up front on progress.

Will pass along the feedback re: roadmap.

Also encourage people to check our github for release train features and focus:

https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/roadmap

https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Brave-Release-Schedule

Hope this helps.

>>22252763
If it's a guaranteed 2x, you can go all-in worry-free.

If it's a maybe-10x or maybe 1/10x, you are limited by how far you can go unless you're suicidal.

A man who swings BAT annually for a 2x, starting with 50k, can have half a million in just a few years.

>>22253120
Another scoop from today for people wondering what else the BAT token can extend to.

"While the Brave browser represents the first "BAT-enabled application" and is the primary focus of BAT Roadmap 1.0, the team intends to extend the BAT ecosystem beyond the Brave browser. We envision the BAT platform being extended to other web browsers, chat/messaging applications, games and other attention-economy apps via open source mobile app SDKs, connected TV SDKs, etc. (Read more about our upcoming BAT SDK, here.) For more info on the potential areas of expansion, see our Driving User Adoption and Extending the BAT Platform blog post.

The BAT SDK that will allow developers to integrate BAT-functionality (such as privately-matched ads with revenue share) into their own applications, allowing developers to monetize their apps and reward their userbase."

>>22251129
Is that thing even real?

>>22253323
Real in the sense that it's a real female posterior injected with silicone, yes

40$ EOY

40

>>22253323
It's real jiggly.

Honestly, nah. Injections, fat relocation, and probably base layer silicone to give it shape.

>>22250582
can i get this but with a pale ginger

>>22253049
>>22253084
>>22253120
>>22253143
as nice as this is i doubt it will effect BAT

>>22253820
That's pretty specific

If the bull market is over this is the best token you could possibly own. The chart and fundamentals speak for themselves. Its performed well in a bear market before but this time it has an even stronger foundation. 25m users by the end of the year. This type of user growth is absolutely insane.

>>22254021
Im not sure. I think the biggest short term pump BAT could get would be from people realising the potential it has, then speculating on it by purchasing tokens. The BAT ecosystem certainly has a lot of real potential, not vaporware.

>>22253820
I'll dump some redheads as I come across them. Something like this?

>>22253820
She looks pretty ginger to me.

>>22254923
Everyone forgets that BAT took off in early 2019 months before BTC did. It's one of the most market-independent coins around.

>>22255084
god damn it yes

>>22255405
really :^[

>>22255432
Wut

>>22255405
missed it :(

>>22255405
>>22255432

>>22255377
REALLY

>>22255470
>>22255481
mods are trash who apparently have a thing against gingers

Where are all the BAT bro's?

FUCKING JANNIE ASS NIGGER KEK KYKE ASS FUCKING CUNT NIGGER. YOUR MOMS A DIRTY JEW NIGGER AND IM GOING TO RAPE HER NIGGER ASSHOLE YOU FUCKING BITCH

>>22255247
This. BAT could run completely independent from the market. This time it has a lot more going for it. I think brave could start making serious headlines at 25m users.

Remember to buy the dip

>>22250691
Idk but I get it for free while I shitpost w their browser

>>22256264
how do I get free bat frens?

>>22249862
That was my buy in. Honestly would throw some more $ in if it did.

>>22251466
Did a week ago and dig it no more ads on YouTube and anime sites, also get bat for just clicking ads and closing them right away lol truly the future

This is like xrps brother

>>22256278
Download brave browser and click the ads and get paid like .005 bay or some shit. Not a lot but adds up esp if you’re on comp/phone a lot.

>>22256314
No way. The BAT chart is far more pretty.

Why invest into a web browser when its already a competitive market? Invest in crypto that creates new wealth rather than BAT which only exists for midwits because its an easy concept to grasp.

>>22256361
You dont have to click the ads to get paid. I only click them if they are interesting. Intel,kickfurther,youtube music videos etc.

>>22250319
Gotta do better than that shit stain

>>22256868
Keep buying defi homo

>>22256933
Check'd. We are seeing the most bizzare FUD in BAT threads. I had a guy the other day posting the pegged ICO price to eth as a ceiling for what the price could reach today. Even though the pegged ICO price to eth is already obliterated at present time. Its surreal to observe.

>>22256793
If we are misfits, then what does that make you? You say this is an easy concept to grasp because it is yet you dont even grasp it. Brave is one of the only cryptocurrencies that is about to reach profitability. They have a real product, and real userbase. Everything else is funny money. It's not a done deal, but imagine if Brave becomes one of the next dominant ad platforms in the next several years and advertisers are buying $100b worth of ads each year. It's not outside the realm of possibilities. Meanwhile crypto is the same group of people cycling their bags from one scam to the next. Brave will likely become the mainstream crypto product of choice 5-10 years before anything else.

>>22257112
Kek yeah I saw that. Who wastes time to clip that from the white paper when they know it's bs?

>>22257307
It was really peculiar. Clearly they knew BAT and the project inside and out to be able to come up with stuff like that from the depths of the white paper from years ago. How strange. Makes me more bullish on bat.

>>22257203
Any chance you could do the number crunching on what 100b ad runs would make for token value? I need the hopium.

>>22257112
People are getting increasingly desperate to stop BAT. When BAT was the defi collateral of choice there was one guy posting everywhere that whales were trying to create as much BAT shorting power as possible. Meanwhile brave just keeps growing at over 10% MoM while crypto use has crabbed sideways and down for years. Defi is legit but its just a bunch of big money shifting beans. Brave is the sleeper people need to watch out for. Its treated like the bastard child but has the fundamentals that a hedge fund would salivate over.

There's only one batcoin worth buying and it's not this crypgo shitcoin.

>>22257433
Ha. I completely forgot about that. That was hilarious. There was a huge thread about it.

>>22257353
$100b in yearly ad revenue would command an insanely stupid price given the conditions. Its possible you could be looking at $2-300 per token depending on token flows and liquidity. Just because theres 1.5b tokens circulating does not mean they are circulating. In a mature ecosystem the token flows could point to very few tokens settling for physical cash. Tokens would get locked up in payout minimums, escrow for ad campaigns, defi collateral, attribution staking, speculation, lost tokens, and whatever else the token is used for like payments etc. $100B is probably 3 years or more away minimum but your hands will get stronger and stronger as it gets to that point. Tons of potential here and brave keeps crushing the metrics while everything else is starting to flounder.

>>22257643
>$2-300 per token
Just imagine. Jesus.

>>22257643
>>22257734
As an addendum, in 2019 the global ad industry was 517.51 Billion.

Sellers:
103.73 - google
67.37 - facebook
29.20-alibaba
14.04 amazon

>>22257822
It doesn't even need to get close to this. It just needs to look like it MIGHT someday

>>22258066
Do you mean that people speculating that it may hit those values would drive the value of the token, irrespective of its actual advertising market cap to those highs?

>>22258166
Yes

>>22257822
Digital ad spend is only increasing. Where brave stands out is that they reach hard to reach audiences, reduce ad fraud, and are a new competitor which means ad spend goes further. Lots of repeat campaigns from major advertisers is a good sign and they are reporting figures 10x industry average. This is still stealth mode. I watch this market 8 hours a day and theres not a lot of chatter about brave or BAT. Getting in now could be like getting into an early google or facebook.

>>22258287
Thats an interesting take. I like it.

>>22258288
Absolutely. And I believe they will only increase faster and faster. I think EOY figures for digital ad spend for 2020 will show a stark increase due to the pandemic.

>>22258305
Yeah kind of like how link isn't really used yet.

I saw a progressive ad today btw

I'm holding this thing after buying at a high. I feel like such a fool with my 5800 BAT, but alas, I have you dorks to keep me complacent in my panic. Love you all. HODL

>>22258659
Me and you both my guy. I bought more to increase my stack. My DCA keeps me in the green fortunately. Bless up.

>>22258630
>progressive ad
Thats an insurance company is it?

Lot of good stuff. Bat going to be big

Also worth saying that if you believe in BAT, especially since it's gonna be yuge after the 'rona, BAT partnered with DENT coin recently which took off at the wrong time. It's like XRP for international phone data and it's worth dick right now. When people start travelling again, it's price will fucking fly.

>>22258729
Yeah progressive is a massive insurance company. Possibly the biggest in the USA

Holding 200k and always accumulating.

>>22258910
>Yeah progressive is a massive insurance company. Possibly the biggest in the USA
Thats awesome. Not from there so that must be why I haven't received one. Its good to see something that large and mainstream advertise through brave. Seeing Intel is great, however its pretty much only relevant to us computer savvy people rather than a mainstream audience like an insurance company.

>>22259083
pgr market cap is 50b

>>22259083
There have been other large campaigns you might not be getting. We are getting things from purple mattress ,amazon,walmart,newegg,bowflex,chipotle, etc etc. It looks like state level campaigns will be starting up soon and once they get to county level that could open up quite a bit of advertisement.

>>22259522
Wow thats awesome. I get plenty of advertisements - Im certainly not one of those nerds you see complaining about no ads - it just seems like my adverts are more based around computing tech and blockchain related stuff. Great to see you guys get stuff as mainstream as walmart and chipotle. Have they had multiple advert campaigns? I wonder how they find the value in brave adverts.

>>22259575
chipotle actually had a new tab ad. also gotten ads for ebay and home depot too

>>22259700
I wonder what the next product that we will constantly see on this platform. Think fleshlight
