BAT - Basic Attention Token ICO (31-5-17)- Worth Investing?

[chutchmcgillicutty]

Yeah, Id' rather keep my $ in ETH than in ICO at this point

[raymonddaf]

wish i had some in it, was going to move some last week when the price was £72/£73 was waiting on it dropping below £70 then it doubled, so now waiting on it dropping so i can get in.

be careful dude, recently many ICO coins drop very quickly to below ICO price after hitting an exchange, while ETH is up up up, so simply holding ETH might be a safer choice.

This is a big gamble  but what if BAT token goes another way instead of going down? 

[raymonddaf]

As you say that's the gamble

Doesn't necessarily have to be the case for every ICO. For example look at GNO

What exchanges will add BAT?

What exchanges will add BAT?

I think liqui and bittrex

[btctube]

If they didn't create an ANN thread here in bitcointalk.org, I would suspect they are trying to hide something and avoid being asked about. Are they just trying to make this ICO for themselves alone and only invite private investors?

[aggarwal233]

Try Exscudo, Encryptotel, Taas and other ICO's

[newcoin01]

Their new announcement was totaly disaster IMO.

Last Crowdsale details:

We are raising ETH equivalent of $24 million with the token sale.
A cap of 1.5 billion tokens is targeted. The distribution at the cap level is as follows:
Tokens for token sale: 1 billion
User growth pool: 300 million
BAT development pool: 200 million

Stay away

So there is a last minute change ??

Now it ends at 24 million instead of 15 million ?

And the total token are 1.5 billion,

1 billion for the ico participants.....was that the same before ?

Personally im disappointed,

you present a price to your customers and then you nearly double it just before the sale

just because a lot of money got pumped into the market some weeks before

...and the clever people would even say that this is better for the project and the investors, like they always do in similar cases


That was not Brave at all dear Brave team .... that is greed

It's true. I agree with your opinion in some aspects. Since the ETH is pumping, the price of the ico is getting higher. I would like to participate the BAT at first, but now I change my mind when the crowdsale details were changed.

[Proxik]

Yeah that last minute change is dissapointing me too...

There are a lot ICO's last time which are so messed up....looks like the owners doesnt give a fuck and want the money

[jason943]

BAT is hot, but maybe not very profitable. I think Patientory is better.

[FlorentineNobleman]

What are their plans for token release and listing?

[CoinManiac1]

Somewhere in the whitepaper, I read that and I quote "Unused BAT after 6 months will be sent back to the user growth fund which can
then be used for new users"

Does that mean, I must sell my token before the expiry of six months...

You maybe right after reading the white paper, you lose it after 6 months if its unused?? Search 'return' on your find.

Only the rewards to early adopters are returned to the growth fund after 6 months. The BAT tokens you actually buy at the ICO belong to you no matter what. Read it again.

Having said that though, this ICO might be profitable and the developers seem to have merit, but there are a lot of setbacks for it to become mass adopted. I'll personally stay away.
