Bitcoin Forum

I am a proud owner of 15,000 BAT right now with an average price of .00061136 ETH. Here is why I think it will be huge in the days to come. But please let me know what you guys think as well.

The team:

BAT is backed by Silicon Valley VCs like Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, among others.

BAT is from the inventor of JavaScript and founder of Mozilla & Firefox, Brendan Eich.

BAT is an Ethereum ERC20 token, which means you can use common hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano, MyEtherWallet, etc.

BAT is backed by Silicon Valley VCs like Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, among others.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tweeted on March 30th, 2017 that BAT is “exactly the sort of token we'd like to support on Coinbase and GDAX over the coming year, make it easy to buy/sell these with gov currencies.”

One of BAT's close advisers is Ankur Nandwani, who is/was Product Manager at Coinbase. He was the one who announced that Litecoin was added to Coinbase.

$BAT was recently added to a spate of exchanges, including big Chinese exchanges like Binance and Huobi.

You will be able to get paid for choosing to view ads with the BAT Ads program. Users receive 70% of ad revenue. Yes, 70%.

Brave & BAT have been covered in a lot of mainstream news recently, including Bloomberg, NASDAQ, CNET, Engadget, TechCrunch and more. It has also been promoted by Ubuntu Linux (on their FB page with 1.3m followers) and Rocket.Chat (on their official blog).

BAT is not limited to the Brave web browser but will be extended to other browsers via extensions (where APIs permit) and other attention-economy apps like chat messengers, podcast apps, games, etc.

Brave Payments, which utilizes $BAT, currently supports YouTubers. Support for Twitch, Reddit and Twitter, etc. have been confirmed. Brave Payments allows you to easily tip your favorite publishers and content creators, Patreon-style.

Over 1000 websites and over 600 YouTubers have been confirmed as verified publishers with the Brave Payments program—and counting. This includes big channels like Phil deFranco who has 6 million subscribers. (You can still tip/donate to your favorite sites/creators even if they aren’t yet verified since the $BAT will be held in a wallet for them to claim.)

The Brave web browser has over 1 million active monthly users. On the Android store alone, Brave has 1-5 million downloads. Brave is available on all platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, Linux).

Other notable figures on the development team include Yan Zhu (Forbes top 30 under 30, Tor Project, W3C, EFF), Marshall Rose (inventor of SNMP, Internet Engineering Task Force) as well as many others who’ve worked on major projects. (Look at team on website.)

The Brave browser has one-click support for Ethereum dApps with Metamask. Brave is officially listed on Metamask’s website alongside Google Chrome.

You will be able to purchase $BAT with your credit or debit card directly through the built-in BAT wallet in Brave. This is a first priority for the team.

BAT officially partnered with privacy search engine DuckDuckGo, and they recently revealed more details on their relationship.

Brendan Eich said in a tweet yesterday that he heard Mozilla was potentially interested in natively integrated BAT. https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/942115844087169024

The supply of BAT is fixed and limited. No new BAT will ever be mined or created. Total supply is capped, like Bitcoin.

CEO Brendan Eich announced the other day that BAT/Brave is partnering with a Top 3 media company in the world.

Pretty cool thanks for the info, what do you think the price will reach in $?

Personally, I think it can hit $1 in a couple months and by end of 2018, around 5-6$. Once it gets over that $1 mark, it will fly up and then a correction will ensue. I'd pick some up now when it's still cheap. This one has potential

Its going to be big. Advertisement as it is simply does not work. ie. youtube is not profitable. New model is for needed gathering money and BAT fills that need perfectly. Im expecting the browser related to BAT to raise close to chrome in popularity.

I heard just good things about the browser. If this thing takes off, it will be a great marketing for BAT!

In general, I think this coin has a great use case and therefore great potential. The online advertising market, definitely is not easy since it is dominated by huge players. That said, this market is largely broken and a lot of participants have been treated badly by these firms. I think BAT definitely has a chance here. And this really is a huuuuge market!

I agree with you, BAT is under my radar, I have bought it after its ico and will keep it because I believe in this project. They have a great project and good team what else needed? It will succeed.

I also think this project has huge potential. It will probably require some time for the usage of the Brave browser to become more widely adopted, but I think they are one of the first projects that have a working product in this sector and are on the right way.

man , imma go buy bat now , your explanation already ensure me to put some on it

time will tell!I think you can put 2-3% in BAT

I hope someone listened to my call when I did this. I posted this thread when BAT was around ~50 cents, and how it's shot up to ~87 cents. And I'm telling you guys, it's still not too late to get in. I may sound like I'm pumping this coin, but the technology is there and it's getting traction every day.

Do your own due diligence and check out this coin.

I want to first ask you which browser are you making this post from, I still believe BAT is low in pecking order, want the team need is to gain significant number of users, when the users increase then I think the platfrom is ready to play rely big

lovely, looking forward to 30,000 satoshies each, that's where I would start dumping i believe :-) [ could be sooner for sure ]

I would be hypocritical if I didn't use the browser that I have an investment in. With that being said, I am typing this in the Brave browser. There are still a few kinks to work out I have to admit, but for the stage that it's in right now, it does what it needs to do.

You should try it out.

nice post , bat gonna be huge .

bat adx is a rival but I have a stronger bat expectation I hope there will be good places to come. the advertising industry needs to look for a block of chains we'll all wait together. shu all in red case

Bat is based on their browser. Looks like their browser still didn't reach to good amount of people as target. I think its still nice investment but its bit let down man. There are many alternatives.

I heard people mention oyster pearl (PRL) and BAT quite often but I have no idea if it's worth to invest in one of them yet. There is so much choice in the Altcoin market... One thing that is sure in the case of BAT is that the team is very good.

The team is one of the best out there for sure. And right now, with all the bleeding from the market, I think it's the perfect time to put some money into this coin. There's a ton out there, but most of them are pumped up with nothing backing them up. This coin actually has a working browser and their road map looks great.

Is is right time to buy BAT - it's in dips now? When moon? ;)

No, you are just shilling this shitty coin and that is the real reason of why you posted all the details in here.

if you weren't trying to do it, then why you have posted it all in here? Nowadays, the marketing managers are not even taking care of what the fuck they are doing in here.

No offense, but just shilling in here is the most shitty thing that you can do, because everybody will hate that coin (like what happened with Spectrecoin)

this isn't me shilling a coin. Do I have a position in this coin? Yes, I made that very clear in my first post. I'm only saying that this coin has great potential, so I'm stating FACTS about this coin. The disclaimer is set in the first post. Believe what you will but this is a good investment.

Thanks for this detailed thread. I personally always had a look on BAT but I don't touched it yet.. Maybe I will invest a little bit of my Bitcoins in the next days. It is still in a good buy range and we haven't seen a huge pump yet.

I believe the BAT team from the beginning. Only problem for me, it feels like firefox. Great tech but not so much marketing. A giant came (chrome) and took everything. I like the brave browser and i hope BAT will keep increasing. If they somehow can be in mobile app advertisement, they can be even better.

Hm. I look now in my portfolio  , I have 900 Bat , today it grew up not bad (now 5305 sat). anyway I have been awaiting more impressive growth from this token, I've bought about a half a year ago because of the team which I liked, but these months I didn't see any big movements of price (more that x2 I think). I hope all big things are still in the future.

There's another similar coin called ATMChain, but it's Chinese. It raised 234 million during its ICO, but it's Chinese and hard to find any much news about it. I do wish I knew about BAT before ATMChain though. It's just too hard getting any information about the other one, and Bat seems pretty promising.

the team is very experienced and the idea is solid. Brendan Eich said however that it might take years for mass adoption to happen. Plenty of time for bat to improve and grow as a project

Wow .. I got to get in this.

Appreciate ...

BAT will be big.

Ads trials is coming for the public soon.

BAT is big already it is and going bigger as more people uses brave
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/basic-attention-token

BAT is one coin with good potential to invest and I am sure it will provide decent benefits but we still need some more time to wait because the market conditions are really not supportive.

I already use Brave on my Galaxy phone and it's the best mobile browser out there.
I think that BAT is already huge, and that makes it an OK investment at best. It's already priced quite high.
At least unlike most other tokens, it's high price is deserved.

Amazing news on Bat.  The Bat is greatly undervalued and it's price increase it's long time coming.  The highest potential altcoin for profit is Bat and I  am going to be increasing my Bat holding.  I use brave browser all the time,  let see how market reaction is to Bat!

I was trading and it gave me good profit like 2months ago. I agree that it is currently undervalued as I read some information about it and it is good to see their developments. I think they need more attention from thr public like more marketing to gain more volume in the market.

I also agree with you and I believe that the potential of this coin is huge. It is designed for fans of something new and unusual, for those who are looking for non-standard investments.

Indeed basic Attention Token (BAT) is most utility focused token but it have cons as the price of the token depends on the brave ecosystem. More the brave browser users price will increase significantly & less the users their price will drop drastically. They have huge community support & they have to make their community even more bigger to be on the top in the market.

I think it's better to see when BAT can increase higher. I have BAT too, and I am glad that I can buy at the low price and now, I still hold it just to make sure if the news is true. But when the price can increase, then I think it's the best time for me to sell this and take my money back after holding it for a while. I think BAT needs more time to increase as we know and see that the market still going on to increase and BAT needs to compete with the other coins/tokens.

I have no doubt in the quality of the project and the team, the issue we are having in the space,  it the usage of the native platforms, we have seen over and over again that 99% of these ICOs can do without tokens, do I need tokens to use the BAT broswer no, for an average users we cared not about the incentives that is what I think the developers got wrong here

Basic attention token will get mindblowing results. Easy gains on the way. We are going to be wealthy with this kind of news coming in! A real powerful company, great Team. Many community members. Sick Roadmap and Awesome fundamentals. What wish should we have!

The browser is awesome at least IMO
The ads opt in is kinda a great thing and i believe it should be the future trend

Where user would get paid if they opt in into the ads
If not mistaken, there's one phone where it is come with Brave browser in default

I don’t see any advantages in this coin, but Ico went through, but this is another token of the ether, like many others, they are narrowly focused and the popularity of the browser that they promote is not growing much, so for now we are analyzing and waiting.

Bat has a very high pedigree  especially with the capable hands that are working on Bat.  I think in the future,  Bat product and service will be popular as we can already see how well Brave browse is doing.  Bat will make good return on investors's money!

Huge from an adoption and technical perspective? Sure!
Huge as a great investment? I'm not convinced.
It's not hype-driven, it's adoption-driven, and huge adoption is already priced in.

The Brave staff ignores me. Im very disappointed by the Brave reward system.  My first payment made with a lot of work was suspended.  3 months they no response to me what is going on. since may they block the brave rewards forum. Shame of brave rewards and specially to the silence staff.  ??? :( >:(

I got paid from brave rewards, even if only a little but I was paid
If you have a problem I suggest you contact the admin at the telegram, they are active there

 I am feeling that this is not a good time to invest in BAT. Their marketing strategies are trivial and many people have previously complained about distributing tokens to promoters. For such coins, can we trust it to have a good future?
They should improve the credibility and quality of marketing before thinking about the price increase of the coin

The grands are not coming in for months now, not on my phone, not on the pc.
I got some referral income, but only from installed browser, I see no income from visitors on my website or youtube.

Also no income what so ever for ads brave let me see when browsing

This project is not working ...
