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

[aventus]

I think its really great. They've had a good product for so long with their Brave browser..its like what Kik's ICO (http://www.investopedia.com/news/popular-kik-messaging-app-launch-its-own-cryptocurrency/) is going to end up being - an established product deciding to enter the crypto world, and hopefully bring a lot of mainstream attention along with it  .

Fixed Rate at 153$/ETH ?!?!?!

Today's price is $220+/ETH.  

I know for sure a lot of novice investors ain't gonna figure that out. Oh well.. make me 2x - 3x on fomo alone... then i'll run like a "BAT out of hell".

Are you taking that from:

The Basic Attention Token sale will begin on Wednesday, May 31, 2017, at approximately 8 am PDT / 3 pm GMT / 11 pm CT-China. The sale will last up to 30 days or until the cap of 156,250 ETH (fixed at contract push) is sold.

Do you think that means the cost will be fixed at $153 eth x 6,400 BAT per eth or do you think that is just for the cap meaning $153x156,250 eth cap = market cap $23,906,250?

$24,000,000/156,250 = $153,6

It's almost 2/3 of current rate of ETH

Browser competition is tough which is why there are huge browser company that hasn't even made it yet, somehas offer incentives already for users to shift. It ain't easy making a browser popular and one mistake can end up a disaster like what happended to IE.

It is true. There are many browsers that we can choose. Some of them are simple and clean ,like google chrome, while others are too colorful and embedded with  too many links of ads. I think most of us would like to choose a clean one and hope that the private information including the navigating tracks not be used by others. So, i do think it is a good project though the team is much more technical. BTW, good luck to anyone invested in it!
