Bitcoin Forum

Throughout 2018 I liquidated most of my ALT holdings into BTC, present portfolio mix sits around 90% BTC, 10% ALT.  Recently started researching options to increase my ALT exposure by another 15-20% and after a few days i found myself depressed that despite the fact ALT investment options continue to proliferate on a daily basis, now numbering  into the thousands, I did not find a single ALT that had enough meat on the bone where I felt comfortable reducing my BTC position to take position in an ALT. Not one ALT I researched where perceived risk/reward was such I could say in honesty reducing BTC investment by any percentage for (insert name here) ALT made sound financial sense. Fact, having been in ALTs since 2014, most of what I see now in 2019 (same as 2014) has me thinking putting my money into a pile and burning it would be the better investment, at least then I wouldn't need to suffer over an extended period of time waiting for inevitable (insert name here) ALT implosion, collapse & death spiral to 0.

But yesterday happens and through discovering and installing Brave browser I come across BAT (Basic Attention Token). BAT checks all the boxes for me and if they continue to execute with high success on their business model potential positive returns in BAT seem exponential comparing against the other ALTS I've considered. I look at BAT & see through its integration with Brave the potential one day to stand toe to toe with a Google, Facebook, Youtube, et al. and not just stand, but win. I'm thinking I've found my next new ALT.  But I have a problem in the duration & depth of my knowledge regarding BAT is super thin, I've known of but nothing about BAT or Brave until taking a deep dive into all things BAT these past 24 hrs., so pls if you got dirt on BAT help me out, gimme the goods, tell me what I missed, why it's pure guano, give good reasons I should let BAT fall off my investment radar. Not looking for opinions on other ALTs to invest, only opinions on why it should not be BAT.

Side note - BAT investment yea or nay, I have found a new default browser for all my devices in Brave, if this is your first time hearing of it do yourself a favor and check it out for free download here ----> https://brave.com

I'll take the complete lack of response to thread as a positive and enter the box with my BAT buy order.  Thanks? :)

OT - This is more a question of philosophy, not a follow-up to discussion in original post

If a thread for Basic Attention Token gets no attention, not even a token response, could you say forum is bASIC-resistant?

Honestly the way BAT is conducting their coin I am impressed. I actually have around 20% of my hodlings in BAT right now! Considering it's one of the few coins that coinbase will allow on their platform, and the fact that it has been 7X of it's current value means a lot. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/basic-attention-token/ I will hodl BAT for years to come, I will love when it is worth $1+ hopefully one day reaching $10+ for being a high quality crypto!

I am really thankful that I earned some BAT tokens on Coinbase Earn program and some tokens thanks to official BAT token airdrop.  8)

Good to see some friendly faces showing up in thread, bags filled up on Binance, in it for the long haul.  Best of luck to us present and future holders, we gotta be BATshit crazy to trade in perfectly good Bitcoin 4 BAT COIN, ppl say Nanananannanana, I say Yayayayayayayaya.

Brave for mobile is the best phone browser on the market, for desktop it needs some polishing. They are amazing products, but judigng by the token economics I don't think there's much room for growth.

Could you link me to the airdrop? Do you know if it is still active? Thanks! BAT trading is offered on Poloniex as well and they have a high volume of trading daily for BAT / BTC , BAT / USDT , and BAT / ETH . These are all good signs!

Don't know much about BAT and am not even sure how i can earn it but i have been using brave browser for a while now. Its really cool and i love it's privacy and anti tracking features not forgetting the default search engine Duckduckgo  ;D
The availability of Tor browsing feature in it is a total win for me.

I know about BAT since the first day they launched their ICO and I remember how successful their ICO was, I never used the brave browser I just invested a little in it buying from exchanges, not in ICO phase, the team behind the project is really good it is for sure not a bad investment.

I think you can earn BAT while using the browser however you are not allowed to withdraw it you just allowed to tip with it, I am not 100% sure since I never used the brave browser before.

That is the first time to hear that they have this feature I might actually try it soon.

It's why I am using brave now. You just click on open new window with Tor and boom there you go.

I'm also using Brave right now and I see this as one of the most promising projects that can cater millions of internet users, those who are involved in cryptocurrency should use this in support of Cryptocurrency based project.

I agree with guys like Fluffypony who thinks it is a scam. The browser might be a good product but I don't see a purpose for the token. The ICO was just a cash grab. You don't need to print your own money to protect users privacy. It also seems like cashing out your tokens from your Brave wallet is a bit of a hassle according to this reviewer. (https://youtu.be/Tf8F1wb3JhI) They still have a lot of things to smooth out with their platform. KYC requirements for Brave Rewards and low payouts to websites where Brave ads are running isn't going to attract many people.

Tried to use Brave about year ago.. IMHO browser was not ready. Just installed a new version, will check it, looks much better now..

You have my Attention.

Now that is a cool feature. Tor built right in. Who would have thought! Thanks I just learned something new.

Enjin Coin and Basic Attention Token are very profitable next days because there is a speculation that Samsung Galaxy S10 will support this coin in the native wallet.

Can anyone verify that they are going implement a get paid to surf or search features, the one I've used is not paying members, that is the Presearch scam, they have a good reputation than Presearch I hope they can implement this feature soon.

I own some BAT for 1.5 years, I like how they develop constantly, too bad they are on Ethereum, this will cause problems in the long run.

Hello, of course, here it is: https://www.coinbase.com/earn and https://airdrops.io/basic-attention-token/.
As I said I love the opportunity to get some free coins, I know that the value is currently low, but imagine the price in next bull run :)!

BAT is definetely revolutionary cryptocurrency that completely changes the way how we use internet.
I am really excited about getting paid by watching advertisements! And another cool thing is that the browser is unbelievably fast!  8)

It's difficult to drag Chrome crowds away from Google's browser, but Brave is legitimately faster and they've finally revamped their previously buggy UI. If they invest their ETH money carefully instead of splurging on lambos, they could craete an amazing product.

I have no doubt that the Brave browser along with its BAT token will be a success in the future and will be on a par with Google or Facebook. But so far the browser is too "raw" for its everyday comfortable use, for example, there is a lack of synchronization between devices. But the BAT token is definitely included in my short list of altcoins, which should be in your portfolio.

I just moved over to Brave Browser as an ex-Chromium user and glad I finally made the switch! Already saved 10 minutes of my life not watching adverts. Funny thing is I haven't worked out to change my locale on Linux to be able to receive BAT tokens, but now I'm getting used to not watching any ads (especially youtube) that I don't think I want receive BAT for my ad watching time anyway. I'll just stick with the browser, not BAT  ;D

Is there any official thread on brave browser here? Or someone who knows stuff about it? Every time I switch between open apps, the open brave tabs refresh, it looks like I am refreshing a page 200 times a day, is there any reason for that?

The basic idea is also interesting earning bats through various actions on the brave browser unfortunately at least for me there is one big hitch and that is that in order to withdraw these bats earned on the wallet associated with brave you absolutely have to do kyc which for me is absolutely unthinkable

I use this browser, but from similar tokens I invest in more stable tokens like TFS, they also have a whole ecosystem, I think there is a potential

If I'm not mistaken, the TFS token is the token of the rather famous Fairspin project?

As part of a ongoing roadmap, BAT founder Brendan Eich had some exciting news for users earning BAT tokens. The payouts will be on chain without the kyc procedure.
It is big news because it is more convenient for users. When users do not wish to reveal their identites but still earn BAT tokens.
