dead project, token not needed

yes I'm a bagholder

I do have a bag. 100k. Will buy more after the election

I own 11k and I just want my bags to fucking pump, this coin is gay and brave browser is a piece of shit

>>23686468
>>23686496
love u cunts

>>23686412
>20 FUCKING MILLION USERS
Who don't need or want a token. Who just want to use a fucking fork of Chrome. Who don't want to see ads. Most of all, no legit company is going to pay to serve ads to poor fags who are so poor that they will waste time viewing ads to get fucking BAT tokens.

>>23686621
>no legit company is going to pay to serve ads to poor fags
except mastercard ;)

>>23686677
> checked

>>23686621
You mean almost exactly like Coinbase does with its "free crypto for lessons"? It's a winning business model

>>23686412
Project has legs. Token itself is as useless as a dick on a transvestite. They can literally use anything else to pay pajeets to view ads. Any ETH, any erc-20, fiat etc.

>>23687042
> fiat etc
if you hadn't put that in I wouldn't have known you were a retard. it wouldn't work for a myriad of reasons - in fact that was trialed near 20 years ago.

>>23686621
I get Visa and Amazon ads.

>>23686450
>>23686412
The fact that the price is so low prove that adoption is irrelevant, if 20 million users couldn't move the price then what will?

>>23686412
should i put stock in brave? I feel like it hasn't blown up like it will eventually.

>>23687042
why not create you own scamcoin instead of pumping someone else's bags?
this is why BAT exists

So negative.
20k users hovering over a button called Bat coin.
Bazillion asians getting bat for their bat points.
A stack of upgrades.
Wyckoff accumulation breakdown on the btc chart? Mini alt bear market?

>>23686412
is your caps lock button broken? the reason why its so big yet token price doesnt move is why i dont have any. youve achieved adoption but the token price doesnt rise because theres no utility for it.

>>23686412
You see users, I see more than 20 million BAT shit tokens ready to be dumped.

>>23686677
>>23687537
somebody who sells products on amazon advertising on brave or some shit company issuing visa/mc advertising on brave or some company testing on the platform does not equal big advertisers on brave you low IQ morons. that's why shit gimmick token has been slowly bleeding for years while you cheerlead.

>>23686412
bats just a 25 cent stable coin why would i buy it at these prices

>>23686412
exactly, normies love it
that makes me bearish somehow

>>23687042
This is the opposite of true. The only way to put ads on the platform is to buy BAT. What kind of dumb fud is this. Sure, they could have used something else to pay users, but they chose BAT and that's how it works now

I use brave. It's cool, why all the sperging out?

excuse me sire, you missed a point

WHY THE FUCK WOULD PEOPLE NEED TO BUY THIS TOKEN, LITERALLY WHAT UTILITY DOES IT PROVIDE TO NORMALFAGS, WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO OWN 75 BATS?

Explot browser 20mil exposed

Notsrs

>>23688330
It's not even that. Stable coins at least hold their value no matter what, BAT on the other hand dumps hard every time BTC does something.

>>23686468
he's right

nothing is going to happen to BAT until the Link whales want it to happen.

>try to use brave
>whenever i middle mouse click to close a tab, it moves my window over to my 2nd monitor about 2 seconds after closing the tab
>100% not user error, im not clicking the header, i know how to use a browser

welp, guess its completely unusable

its free money retards. I've gained $100 in BAT over like 2 months, just for occasionally accidentally clicking on an add. The browser autoblocks youtube adds. I'm not buying, but this project could easily go somewhere.

>>23686412
OP, you can lead a horse to water yadda yadda. Don't worry about them, more accumulation time for us.

>>23688314
it kinda does...BAT's an easy 100$ by 21 EZ

>>23688701
>brave browser 2021
>PAY NOW USING BAT OR INSERT YOUR ESHEKEL ACC NUMBER

Can I watch ads, get BAT, then move the BAT to an exchange and sell it?

>>23690238
I see

THANKS FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT KIND SIR

>>23690219
only if link whales decide it will. check the etherscan wallets, most BAT is held by link whales. price is 200% manipulated.

Nearly 21m users and people are calling this the end of BAT because the price is down a little bit. The absolute state of this board. Im accumulating.

>>23686412
Bat needs to integrate with brave browser for purchases. Like being able to have a store where normies can spend bat easily or web based services like a vpn paid by bat. And ya i know tor is already in the browser but normies are fucking retarded and think tor is scary hackerman shit

>>23690741
They are doing exactly this. Its called the BAT SKU and any webmaster can link whatever they are selling with a "pay with BAT button"

Basically you use brave and earn BAT as normal and can click a button that pulls BAT from your wallet to pay for something. No need to pull out your credit card for things like paywalls,digital content,low ticket items or donations etc.

>>23690813
>SOOOOOON

why am i not rich yet

Is the fud in this thread ironic or are people actually retarded/blind to what is being built here. I legitimately can't tell. People will look back at BAT like bitcoin.

>>23686412
>20 million users
>BAT plummets to 13 cents

top fucking kek. Pathetic shitcoin that's being propped up by the UGP, no way around it. Once UGP runs out, the ad campaigns run dry and Brave will scrap BAT and create a new scam.

>>23686412
I never got an ad on brave, so don't hold any BAT.

>>23691836
UGP isn't being used for ad payments for users. Where do you get/make up this stuff from?

>8 billion users in 2023

>>23686621
>they will waste time viewing ads to get fucking BAT tokens.

This is such a retarded take lmao. No one is "wasting time viewing ads". Imagine browsing the internet and not even being paid for it.

>>23691891
It is absolutely being used to subsidize ad campaigns on Brave, they've admitted as much. They basically give out free ad campaigns in exchange for nothing. This isn't some secret, you can search twitter or reddit and find the team talking about it.

>>23692108
Anon you realize the entire streaming industry's business model works because people will pay a lot so they never have to view another ad. Brave's entire value proposition is to block ads. Now why the fuck would someone turn off ad blocking to earn worthless BAT tokens?

i dont care about BAT, but ive used brave for like a year and made about 25 dollars froms it

>>23692477
>to earn worthless BAT tokens

the only way the ecosystem will ever work is for BAT to NOT be a worthless shitcoin. This can only be achieved by

>1) BAT gaining a ton of value as a cryptocurrency, gaining hype, everyone wants to earn BAT, price surges so people will willingly toggle Brave ads on;

and/or
>2) BAT gains a ton of utility, and users can pretty easily earn BAT, so users are earning BAT and using it for cool shit like paywalled articles, paying for subscriptions (Spotify, Netflix, Twitch Prime, etc. whatever the fuck normies pay for)

neither of which has any fucking chance of happening in the next 5 years, and probably not ever. That's why BAT is a cool idea and a dogshit investment.

>>23686412
I use Brave but don't like BAT. KYC killed it for me.
Great browser though.

>>23692231
Token grants were given to charities, non profit orgs, and beneficial sites and programs like Wikipedia, Everpedia, and Tor to name a few. Token grants and free advertising for these groups are awesome advertising and a win win for everyone involved.
They’re not handing out free tokens to Amazon, Walmart and etc. you’re skewing to support your argument.

Just buy a bag. It’s a fixed supply. Just the amount alone that will end up in lost wallets will make you rich.

>>23686412
>THE AMOUNT OF BAT THEY COULD HAVE WILL ONLY GET SMALLER AS USER-BASE GROWS
is the supply capped?

>>23692477
lol imagine actually thinking this. You have a babby tier view of ads and what peoples motivations are for blocking them.

>yeah bro an industry as old as humanity is going away

I sell my BAT every month to buy more ETH, LINK, and ATOM

>>23693342
Yes. With an even user distribution the max amount of BAT each person can hold is 72 BAT or $12.

BAT is going to run out fast as users grow and advertisers need to buy millions.

>>23693410
How much UGP is left?

Not that Brave is using it/selling it all the time, but I think the notion that BAT will "run out" soon is misguided. I don't think that will have the crazy effect on the price that you think it will.

Brave's whole thing is to push their project forward while attempting to ignore anything related to the price of BAT. They won't comment, speculate, or acknowledge anything regarding the price of BAT. They're deathly afraid of the SEC because they know that if BAT is ever challenged, the SEC will put it in an early grave. I can guarantee you that. That's why BAT is walking on thin ice and I don't think it will ever moon - and I mean ever.

They are in a partnership with apple, creating a search engine aggregator. This will be released withun 12 months

>>23693493
I wasn't talking about the UGP. Im talking about the coin itself. There will be a liquidity crunch if the userbase keeps growing and advertisers keep spending.

>>23693538
I wish man

>>23693933
UGP is a part of the total supply. Brave still has a massive portion of the total supply in its UGP, see: >>23693857

as long as Brave controls that, and like less than 20 other wallets control another 50% of the supply, I don't see the price of BAT going anywhere. The "liquidity crunch" will be sold into, you better believe it. Big BAT whales have posted in BAT threads before and they always mention their price targets, and they're not very high. BAT's price is going nowhere. That's why I think every BAT thread should have a disclaimer: if you're buying BAT to make a fortune, you're buying the wrong crypto, and you should sell now.

>>23694007
Sure, I get where you're coming from, but in the scenario you're describing where liquidity crunch is reached, what do you think happens *after*? No one ever needs BAT again? The ICO whales have all the BAT all advertisers would ever need? Of course not, but in the situation you're describing, presumably Brave has really built up its momentum in just such a way as to necessitate that kind of circulation requirement. What exactly is your feeling for the long-term future of Brave past a supposed "crunch" if not continued health and longevity of the BAT ecosystem?

>>23694063
my whole point is that the "crunch" would be way, way down the road, and may never come because the BAT-side of the project could lose all momentum due to the pathetic price action. Brave can continue to gain users, but another 3 years of 10-30¢ is not going to attract users to turning Brave ads on.

My guess is we see Brave user growth start to stagnate, and Brave ad campaigns falter - this will all be due to pathetic BAT price, pressure from Google, loss of momentum, and finally nobody will care about BAT/wants to earn BAT. This is over the next 3 years. That's my theory. I'm very jaded.

>>23694142
In other words, you think no "powder keg" event in the next three fucking years to propel both BAT and penetrating the browser to mainstream normies? Brave just fizzles?

I'm perfectly cynical about it too but that just doesn't line up with what Eich's comments are hinting at, nor what the team's github activity is suggestive of, if you get my drift.

>>23694007
I don't know what BAT whales you are talking about considering I am one and talk to them regularly. I have over 520k BAT and was an early ethereum whale. When it comes to crypto BAT is one of the few low risk, high reward tokens. There is actual ad demand and a rapidly growing userbase. I actively keep up with all the metrics and github code commits, and its only leading me to increasing my exposure. Same for the people I talk to. Brave/BAT is nearing profitability and scale which not a single crypto token can claim. Load up, and start getting your pools ready for when they launch Themis attribution and get ready to collect dividends for the next decade.

>>23694142
lmao your whole argument is price action? Come on dude you can't actually believe this. Did pathetic price action in apples stock in 07 stop them? how about amazon after the collapse? Stop looking at the price and assuming that the present is also the future. Skate to where the puck is going, not where its at. Can't believe I have to explain this to a grown man.
