I found out a normie boomer at work uses Brave. He was raving about it and he doesn't even have a crypto stack. Personally I dumped BAT months ago but now im rethinking it.

Enable rewards and set the max to 5 per hour. You earn BAT from web browsing in general, not specific sites. The more diverse your browser history, the more categories of ads you get.

You are going to see more and more normies using it. Then you are going to see the commercials. Then you are going to see the news coverage. Then you are going to be priced out. The whole point is to load up right before or when normies start adopting something.

They fucked it up, they should have focused on the token and ad network instead of the browser.
Just release a bat addon for firefox. What a waste

You can just accumulate and keep it stored in browser until other options like Coinbase & Gemini integration are available.

Yeah I think the clock is ticking. Looks like they are planning on going mainstream in 2021 with massive scale and spending.
