The primary drawback for BAT is that, to redeem BAT reward, one requires KYC. Currently, the only exchange where it can be done is Uphold. I have heard more exchanges like Coinbase etc. will be on board soon. But, KYC requirement will be there.

Actually BAT is a coin that has potential at this time BAT is ranked 31 in Coinamrketcap, of course with this top coin will experience further increases especially those who faithfully use the Brave Broser they will hold for a long time I am sure this will follow the market trends at this time all right up.

another drawback is the platform does not support all of the countries across the world, if they can support more countries this year. it might have a chance to compete with major cryptocurrencies.

BAT is too much depended on the success of the brave as a browser and though brave has improved in lot last year, it now needs to compete with other similar products aiming to tap the advertising market. There are other advertising tokens that are not just browser specific and original advertising players are also thinking of moving towards reward systems. It would make 2020 a challenging year for BAT.

It will be hard to join for others now in BAT or brave program as they will require KYC. But as time goes by there are many requiring KYC, due to may regulation put in exchanges and many projects in crypto market now. As I still use Brave now but might reconsider when I will redeem my BAT.

Holding has the huge potential to compete for the top rankings of every coins in the market. If the entire cryptocurrency market will soon recover successfully. That would take enough time to make it possible without any hindrances, in reaching our targets. Many of us were aiming for better, but we must see to it that every strategy is capable in the long period of time.

Which coins/tokens are competing BAT for online advertisement market?

the hype surrounding this browser and this coin has been around for more than half a year. I myself use this browser constantly and see that the number of users is constantly growing. it is obvious that with the advent of a new number of users, advertisers will place their ads more in this browser. the larger the audience of the browser will become, the token will cost more.

I think BAT is one of the best projects on the market. They have a functioning system. Free BAT token submissions are nice. It also works very well in the browser. I like blocking ads. I think it will become much more common.

Very few countries where it can be used, if they are able to expand it significantly we may see major increase in value.

Brave browser is very good, expect BAT to be a major player in years to come.

I've read some posts here talking about how ironic it is for Brave to require KYC for BAT withdrawal while they are promoting privacy. Those people were disappointed and lost interest with the project. Credit to BAT team for expanding the number of countries where Brave users can earn rewards but I think that they will never win back those investors who once believe in them before the KYC thing. This is a token where I think adoption may increase but the price will remain below its 2018 ATH.

in my opinion BAT in 20020 is good because seeing BAT price movements in the market is very fast this means BAT has many traders and investors and also BAT works with BRAVE browser, making BAT known to many people

   Brave browser and BAT token are gaining popularity among bloggers and
publishers. They announced revolution on that field and in think that is happening,
many who use it are satisfied. Word is spreading and I think they are on the right
direction.
   I have some BAT and I'm trying to earn some on publish0x, I hope they will continue
with good work this year and that we will sees lot more from them.

i think this coin must running campaign or recruite new local manager to spread BAT internationally, so contry manager can running his strategy in order to make local bitcoiner use BAT to daily transaction, so BAT can head to be 20 Biggest marketcap in 2020.

The good thing about the project is that they actually have a working product and it is gaining adoption with more than 10 million active users, that is huge. But the big elephant in the room is their tokens. Their development and growth do not correlate in to their price increase which is crazy but long term this is a great project

Like you excess mentions zero in year  ;D ;D ;D

BAT is a token that is useful for many people using the Brave Browser, meaning it is very useful for its users, BAT tokens are also good for holding in the long run and of course this will follow the trend in the market.
Investors are very happy with the existence of BAT tokens because they provide a large profit before it.

If you are a brave browser user, then you will know the advantages and feel the benefits of this browser, especially if you are a publisher and advertiser, then brave is a suitable and appropriate platform. So that's why BAT tokens have promising prospects, because everything offered and provided by the Brave platform is not available on other platform.

If you look at the price of BAT from 2017 until now the price looks good to be made an investment, BAT is absolutely no doubt, in my opinion the BAT price will be more than $ 0.3 this year

Imo, not good :(   too many failed promises, that are only now years later coming to fruition
BAT was basically an ICO scam, they havent delivered anything promised for users years ago, and the things they have arent how they said they would be (i.e KYC for BAT usage thru uphold)
i predict it continues to suffer, definitely no 100%+ gains there this year unless some whale manipulates to get a good price to leave, team is too greedy

agree promising prospects in the future price increases maybe difficult in this industry but basic attention tokens have proven to be such great fluctuations ,in the honest market I'm fortunate once in a while when my basket has this token reviewing browser brave usage is also quite a lot yeah

I've read the cryptoground analysis for this coins and this coin has a good future. They predicted the coin will reach 1$ in 5 years. I'm sorry i cannot attach the link of the news because i forgot i read it where. But trust me they're really was said that

Compared to BTC/ETH, BAT does not seem to have done well in last 9 months or so...

BAT token is one of my mainstay coins in 2020, because if we look at BAT's performance in 2020 it is pretty good.
Even the BAT token price was pumped to $ 0.4 in last August. I am optimistic about BAT's will increasing popularity,
could make BAT prices return to their all time high prices this year. But when compared to ETH which has a different
quality, of course still better ETH.

Bat its been on the market for 3-4+ years and is still keeping his position in the top but recently I heard some bad news about this coin that they injected some bad code

It's a good token and it has proven to hold its position in a long term. I used to have it but I sold mine when it pumped last time. If you want to invest in it make sure you find a good entrance and exit otherwise you may have to hold it longer than you anticipate. It can have great things in the future that can take it to another level such as add more countries and support more devices. Earning bat on your device can take a long time but its a nice little project not something I would consider getting too big but still something to look into.

I see the BAT update this year is very lacking unlike the previous year if this continues, investors will leave BAT at the exchanger BAT prices are definitely down, I hope the owner has to develop a strategy or make big news so that BAT is still considered one of the favorite coins

Of the altcoins out of the top 20, I still value BAT the most. It is mainstream coin and has real product and can have an impact on consumers. Brave browser is a very stable browser and has many functions not unlike Google chrome, or even better. They are gradually developing it to new heights and when more people know about it, BAT will surely have a very high marketcap. If anyone wants to hold altcoins, I encourage to hold BAT, it is really a great business.

   I hold BAT and I have some ways to earn little amounts from day to day. It's really a great project, with the real product, and I
believe in long-term success of this project as you do. I have some amount, but my goal is to have at least 10k BAT tokens
for the future.
   We can't speak about the future and know when we will see BAT price rising, but I believe in the potential of BAT and I think who
is in crypto-currencies should include BAT in crypto-portfolio.

But at least BAT have the real function that can be seen by the user or new investor easily. Its browser can make its token has a high price in the future if they can make its browser be used by most people in this world, yeah at least they can compete the google browser.

Other than that, before bitcoin and all altcoin price crash a month later the movement in this coin is really promising. I have several time to gain profit when traded this coin with USDT, it means there will be many people who traded this coin and believe this coin have a good future.

Although I don't have a big expectation for the Bat, I hope that the price can increase. If the price can not increase higher, I think it is enough for the price to increase in any high price.
It seems this coin is hard to compete with the other coins or tokens because Bat needs more support if it wants to lift the price.
This year will be a challenging year for every coin or tokens because every coin wants to show its power by raising more support.
We will see which coins or tokens that will be eliminated to the lower position.

And from the start, their product which is the browser is still being used by a lot of users. It's also considered as one of the good browsers that we have.
We can say that it's a success on their end but it has changed due to the asking for KYC. Yet, the coin is still good as it is.

BAT is my favorite coin of choice for investment, besides its performance is quite good this year. BAT volume is quite high
and has also been listed on several popular exchanges. So it's no wonder BAT token is in the top 50 cryptos, I believe that
BAT's prospects are very good in the future. Moreover, BAT is very useful, unlike most other coins. BAT has a Brave browser
project that is great for browsing. So there is no reason not to invest in BAT tokens.

So many reasons not to invest.

BAT is useful, how? I can use Brave without BAT,,, and people who truly do not like to watch ads will just be switching it off anyway, like me. I mean the prospect of earning $5 a month maybe for aggressive surfing and clicking and watching all those ads,,, is it really worth anybody's time?

You don't need to use any of your time to browse in earn in brave just normal browsing is needed and the ads will not disturb the way you browse you will just see a notification,Click or not its up to you .

The ads earning is depend on the countries demand there are country that earn more than 5$ a month, I am not a fan of brave but its a good thing to browse and earn something than nothing .

Yeah its better than have nothing at all and would be somewhat useful to those countries where $5 a month is already useful but the big question is,
are you willing to give out KYC on cashing out those BAT's? The hell no for most people but im sure that there are ones that do still deal with this set-up.
I've been using brave for a while now and i dont click up those adds that do pop out yet i know that it wont really be that worth of time even on
very simply clicks. :D

I would agree, I immediately change to Brave when i learned that i could earn, though little, with just browsing the internet without me really knowing it. It's too good to be true imo. Also, sometimes i don't really notice the ads popping up at my right lower screen because it only take up small space of my screen.

The brave browser itself is already popular among so many people although back then there's this bad rumour revolving around regarding brave putting their refferal link when you visit an exchange but their browser is surely gaining fame nowadays. many also have switched from chrome to brave which means the BAT token will have good prospect considering that many people also trying to earn reward by using their browser.
But before doing anything or investing you might need research by yourself because their price  looks kinda pump and dump so yo should consider that. Another matter is that the requirement to claim reward quite complicated lol.

i didnt know that brave were also involve that issue but im aware that brave has been accused by some other problem  , this is getting more and more  . what else can we expect on the future with them but this can already affect thier users and for new users that are going to try the browser will also get discourage if they found this out.  cant say if thier coin is a pump and dump because im not following its price but the claming reward thing is one of the popular complaints of the people .

This will be good because they really have a good and competitive product. Of course the Brave browser will continue to be updated and increasingly compete with Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. Will explode if it is able to shift them in the future.

it takes time to be able to see the development because all competitors will also make renewable innovations and there will always be very good competition in time. once again it takes time to be able to shift what is already existing and familiar in the hearts of the community, but as a user it is precisely the increase that there will be other alternatives that can be used.

   I agree with Cepot9, we will see a lot more from Brave in the future. But it's why we need to be patient with Brave, we will not
see a spike in price this year, or maybe next one, but in next 5 years Brave browser can get much closer to Chrome and Firefox. For me
BAT is the long-term investment, I have some and I would like to have more. One of the rare projects in crypto-market with real
product that we can use on daily basis.

with BAT, I think the holders need to hold for a very long time. BAT is not a technology altcoin or evolving any trend, it just develops the browser and it takes a long time to achieve good results.
so if you are a holder, you should decide to hold it for another 2-3 years, Brave's browser is good, but currently it is not well known. In 2020, with only the defi coin pumped up, BAT will not be able to do much. Of course this is just my personal opinion, hope it can help you.

Depending on the new updates and the new features on Chromium-based browsers, the value of the Brave browser will increase along with the price of the BAT token. The Brave rewards system will be overkill for all competitors and there is no strong competitor, AFAIK. As long as the demand will be the case for the Brave browser we can expect a nice ROI from BAT investment. Personally, I use the Brave browser but the sad fact is to pass KYC for getting the reward from the Brave reward program. I don't want to send my documents to Uphold and get verified but without getting verified there is no way to spend your earned BAT tokens.

The value of BAT coin is strongly related to the popularity of the Brave browser, so if it manages to acquire a larger part of the market, we have a good chance to observe an increase in this value. I think it is also important to put more emphasis on developing ad markets in countries that currently allow earning less than 1 BAT per month. This may convince more users to Brave and thus increase the interest in this coin, which may well affect its value ...

The prospect of BAT coin in the future looks pretty good, but as far as the ups and downs of BAT coin prices still follow BTC price movements, if you want to invest it is better to choose top coins at this time because the demand is increasing day by day and also the prospects for long-term investment are also good

Don't expect from the reward program because it's not much you have to send documents to do KYC so forget about that and hurry how BAT is making money from the trades we do, I think always have a chance when the market is growing or pumping a lot of increases even if it's not that much. but still earning for us with futures trading, if we invest in the long term 2-3 years why not bitcoin which is certain with a higher rise compared to BAT? So BAT tokens can still be earned from trading weekly or monthly instead of holding longer in years.

I don't think you should view it as a potential income stream; the amount you'd earn is very small.
Have a look here though if it's not working for you. There's a video to walk you through setting up rewards: https://brave.com/brave-rewards/
Try here, too: https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026361072-Brave-Ads-FAQ

From my personal experience, it seems to be a good browser, but I have everything enabled and I've never seen an ad.

I use Brave some time now, and the browser itself is pretty nice because of its well working ad blocking / privacy features and chrome base (being compatible with chrome addon store).

However, I'm just disappointed by BAT, and I'm gonna tell you why.
Back when I started using Brave 2 years ago, the rewards were high and the ads were low.
Today (approx. the last 12 months), it's the other way round. I now get about 2 BAT per month by browsing more than ever and getting more ads than before.
To get that into perspective, at the beginning of my Brave usage there were months where I claimed 30+ BAT and only got a very moderate amount of ads.
The Ad frequency (up to 5x per hour) is unchanged since my first usage.

Other, actually much more concerning things than the ad/reward system about BAT are
1. the "strange" behavior of the wallet.
    - My wallets were wiped to zero 2x, both on Windows and on Android on different occasions. The missing BAT are nowhere to be found until today (no, I do not have auto-contribute or auto-tipping enabled).
    - Claiming often fails and BATs aren't credited, only the claim date gets forwarded one month (yes, I always have the browsers updated to their newest versions).
      Official subreddit admins/devs say the rewards are still added to your wallet later, but I didn't see any of the failed BAT for months now.
    - Up to a certain time you could (and were urged to) see and backup your mnemonic seed for your wallet. It's gone. Instead, you don't have any control over your wallet anymore (for example backing up/restoring on another device),
      but you're forced to connect with Uphold (which I never did. A calm "nope" to that business practice at this point). That's a BIG step in the wrong direction.
2. all of the above problems mentioned on the official reddit either get you insignificantly put off, ignored or banned. I wasn't the only one pointing out these problems over there, so I guess the fault is not on my end.

I'll continue to use the browser, but the BAT-part is just too buggy/unreliable/annoying for my taste.

The native token of one of the famous browser about cryptocurrency on the chart:
I don't think these days is good to buy BAT, this altcoin is playing around the horizontal support around 2,000 sats which is extreme risky once it fall that below. Even if you will check the volume of it, which is extremely low. But we still have more months left before 2020 ends and let's see how will run this altcoin.
For me, I'll wait for more confirmation before I'll start to accumulate some of this altcoin.

The important thing here is that BAT only works in certain countries and to receive the reward, users need to do KYC to receive it. You know that giving out personal information is really dangerous for that individual and for the economy of that country. US banks in 2019 last year had more than $ 3 billion stolen because of fraudulent information and theft.
These limitations will cause delays in their roadmap in the future. We hope that the BAT team will stop the KYC implementation plan, so we have hope that Brave will have more users.

Bat Analysis https://bitcoinheat.com/2020/11/26/bat-coin-price-prediction-2020-bat-coin-analysis-bat-crypto-bat-coin-chart-bat-coin-value/ (https://bitcoinheat.com/2020/11/26/bat-coin-price-prediction-2020-bat-coin-analysis-bat-crypto-bat-coin-chart-bat-coin-value/)

The hype for it was once upon a time great thing and it is not anymore. Look at what happened to it in the last 3 months, while almost all coins gained a lot of value, BAT went down, it was over 0.35 and right now it is at around 0.22 and this happened during one of the biggest bull runs in crypto world since 2017 peak period as well. If a coin drops this much during the peak times of past 3 years, that has to say something about the project itself.

I am not saying it is dead or gone, it could still resurrect to become bigger and better in the future, but it is definitely not a prime investment candidate as well. Just because it "could" recover doesn't mean that you should invest to it, it just means there are better investment chances out there that you could pick over BAT.

The prospects for Basic Attention Token (BAT) in 2020 are very good, Moreover, BAT has been officially embedded in Brave, the goal is for Brave users and website managers to be rewarded with BAT tokens, this is a very good idea from the creators of the BAT token. The increase in the price of BAT tokens in the market is due to the increasing number of Brave users, some time ago they claimed the Brave browser was used by more than 8 million active users per month. With the increase in users of the Brave browser, BAT will automatically be increasingly recognized by many people.

I like BAT as a project and their browser Brave but i think the reward they pay to publishers should be in usdt because paying rewards in bat tokens just seem to put selling pressure on bat which is not letting it break above the price range.

BAT is like a stable coin, you can see the chart,
the increase in BAT is only a few% so far, and it is in the $ 0.1- $ 0.2 zone,
last I saw BAT was able to go up to $ 0.4, which is quite good.

Much has not been heard about this coin for a while now so if nothing much is been heard about them or if the team are yet to put in more work towards features which will attract more users and of course impact the price positively then I think no much growth will be witnessed when compared to other top 100 coins. In my own understanding, one of the factors that makes a coin to appreciate in value is when potential users or investors are seeing what the team are capable of doing, what they are working on and it's long term effects; it is true that BAT has made a name for itself, but yet it needs to maintain that name through more Improvements and so on.

BAT is pumping now up 55% in last 7 days.

News of a New search engine could be causing increase in price- https://www.makeuseof.com/brave-search-what-to-expect/

Honestly I think it's time for BAT to have a stronger rally next time. Those who have bought and kept it all this time may be a bit disappointed with the slow growth, but for such good coins I think it's just a matter of everyone's time and patience.  BAT is available on most of the top exchanges, so there's no reason a good product should be underestimated, I think next time when the growth from altcoin gets bigger, BAT will bring great happiness to those who have been keeping it.

Maybe that is hype.
But I don't see any potential for this BAT token to be honest. Maybe that is the reason that it was experienced a long downfall last few months ago.
Perspectively, the dev of BAT and the brave browser did not make any development to the BAT.

when it comes to BAT i'm more concerned about their product the brave browser. it's really getting popular so fast due to its built-in ad block, it's just matter of time until BAT become more and more popular considering the growth and tbh browser is one of the best way to market your product and in this case BAT is using their unique BAT earning scheme.

Yes, I really love using brave, it's available on my PC as well as on my phone. I have started to use it instead of adding gadgets to remove malicious ads, we have an application that provides a perfect experience to use.

Yes, since most of the time, we are always on the net, why not use this good browser application, it really does save some bandwidth and block ads and trackers. However, if you want to transfer your BAT earnings, you need to comply their full kyc. So have you tried withdrawing your BAT from their site? Before you know it, you already have a handful of BAT accumulated.

It's not only that but the news that came from the grayscale has been giving a lot of FOMO to the BAT's price. https://cryptonews.com/news/grayscale-launches-chainlink-filecoin-bat-trusts-as-bitcoin-9575.htm

That could become the main news that was pumping BAT.

Im also using brave and i feel curious to try to use brave search. it could be a potential search engine to compete with google.

Not much but I also feel happy, but the important thing is that I have a good product to experience. I know many people who are making a lot of money from using Brave, I have a friend who uses a lot of Brave on a lot of devices, and somehow he has a lot of accounts exceeding KYC above that and really is making a lot of money.

What do you mean by exceeding KYC?
Is he submitting different KYC info for those different accounts and get verified by their wallet?
Earning some BATs will take time, wonder how he is getting a lot of money.
This I believe, is one challenge for some brave browsers as they need to submit their details to get their rewards.

Are you sure about that? i never seen that BAT ever reached such price in the price. Maybe you are missing from thing about that

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/basic-attention-token/

You can try to see that on the whole chart already published by CMC if BAT never touched such rate dude. CMIIW

I thought that you meant about another coin, right?

BAT is likely to make another new ATH...
some time ago CZ announced that BAT was also available on the BSC network. BSC is in demand and for sure this will make BAT even bigger.

I'm not going to sell it before $ 20
