you need a medium. you can't just use fiat directly. uphold allows creators to cash out their BAT so it's the same thing as receiving fiat. but they will have incentive to hold the BAT because it can and will go up in value. it's value of course will be a direct reflection of the ad market it captures. in the case of the 1$ theory. bat would have to capture 1.5B in internet ad marketshare.

and that's why it will fail hard. What more of a platform than an internet browser is needed ? Brave can function on any piece of technology that runs a browser. BAT should not even exist. Nobody wants "Basic Attention Tokens" and nobody will ever want them. However, Brave is a solid fucking product and literally a productive asset that earns you time and tracks how much time it's earned you. If I could buy brave tokens I'd load the fuck up. Think like a normie when considering concepts like marketing, adoption and first impression.

BAT is basically the litmus test for degenerate brainlets on /biz/.

If you can't wrap your head around why BAT is going to be extremely important and one of the most important cryptocurrencies in existence, you should sell whatever shitcoin you're holding and exit crypto forever.
Brainlets cannot understand BAT and it'll never click for them, even when Brave and BAT succeed. It's the same with ETH and Bitcoin, you have brainlets that doubted and FUDded those two and STILL FUD THEM. It doesn't matter in the end, /biz/ has been eternally blown the fuck out multiple times and the only thing that matters in the end is the success and adoption of BAT.

BAT bros, I'll see you guys at the top.

[Anonymous No.13322551]

Another thing: you know what's amusing? BAT is pumping because there's hype and excitement surrounding an ACTUAL IMPROVEMENT TO THE PRODUCT.

It's not pumping because of some scammy rumor, it's not pumping because the creator hinted at some fucking lame partnership on Twitter, it's not pumping because some autistic fucking meme Twitter accounts are spreading some connection to Samsung. It's literally pumping because there's an expected release of Brave Ads on April 24, aka another tick in the roadmap, and another improvement to the product and the use-case for BAT.

BAT is a fucking gem in a sea of vaporware shitcoins. /biz/ gets its nut on these schizophrenic twitter rumors that in the long run mean FUCK all. BAT has mild and reasonable pumps based on actual productivity of the team and very real, tangible results/improvements to the cryptocurrency and Brave browser.

Keep in mind, this was the least intrusive thing in the world. I'd use Brave Dev at my leisure and rarely clicked on the Ads. Only would ever click on the ads that truly interested me. If I kept seeing ads pop up and they didn't interest me, I'd ignore them or turn ads off.

I would occasionally get Ads that truly interested me and I'd click those, otherwise I'd ignore it. It was extremely un-obtrusive and did not bother me in any way - it was essentially the same as if I had never toggled "BAT Ads ON" in the first place.

And I STILL made roughly ~$1 off of this (more importantly I made 3 BAT). I mean from hardly using it at all. Keep in mind, I was literally getting paid to just have the Ads toggled "on". You don't even need to click the Ads.

It's fucking phenomenal and unlike anything that's been done before. It's game changing.

It's not about how much money I made, personally. I could have made a lot more if I really wanted to. It's the fact that I PASSIVELY made 3 BAT without even fucking doing anything.

Every fucking millisecond you surf the web somebody is making money off of you. You LOVE to just blatantly ignore that in favor of the "YOU ONLY EARN $X ???

Many can't see the nuance yet, but the Basic Attention token will be a measurement of monetized user attention in the Web3 ecosystem. Youtube videos, Tweets, etc in addition to being recognized for their number of views or likes will have a gauge determining their value of worth in human attention. Kim Kardashian's video got a million views and 5 million BAT. Donald Trump's tweet got x number of retweets and x number of BAT etc. In this way as a basic attention measurement BAT has far more utility outside of just Brave Points.
