Basic Attention Token (BAT) will be a new top coin?

[elektra]

Anyone else believe in Basic Attention Token (BAT)?

It has one of the best teams of all time behind it, lead by Brendan Eich the creator of Java Script and cofounder of Mozilla and Firefox. And the idea behind it with the Brave browser is amazing. I really think this coin will be the big winner in 2017. It got into the top 25 spot in marketcap on the first day ( it released 2 days ago) and has stayed around there. The price is still low, but I think it will skyrocket once the coin lands in more exchanges so one should buy a bunch before that happens.

I think this coin also broke a new record by raising $35 mill and tokens sellin out in 30 seconds: http://www.coindesk.com/35-million-30-seconds-token-sale-internet-browser-brave-sells/

"Overall, the sale for Brave's ethereum-based Basic Attention Token (BAT) generated about $35m and was sold out within blocks, or under 30 seconds. One buyer went so far as to purchase 20,000 ETH (or about $4.7m) worth of tokens – designed to monetize online attention and create a new revenue source for publishers.

Another buyer paid more than $6,000 in ethereum mining fees to almost guarantee their place at the top of the line."

You should watch the latest Epicenter podcast where they interview Brendan Eich and see yourself the potential of this coin: https://epicenter.tv/episode/185/

When and where is it being traded?

[TKeenan]

No. The only reason it made such big news is because of a big name dev behind it and the drama over the ICO. Google has already announced that they're going to implement most of the things that BAT proposed (minus the token gimmick, they don't need it lol).

I think a lot of people just fell for the marketing that there would be huge money in BAT because advertisers with big pockets would buy in. I just don't see that happening. I also don't see mass public adoption of a new browser (I know having Brave isn't a requirement because extensions, but still).

Overall, it might do alright in the market due to speculation, but I definitely don't see it becoming #1 with so many better projects coming out soon.

Supply more than 1 billion, it will take time to rise again
I'll just buy it at a cheap price

It is already dirt cheap. Should have bought when I made the post, now the price is up almost 40% already and marketcap increased with about 100 mill and it climbed up to place 23 in top coins. It has not even hit any of the big exchanges yet so there is still time, once that happens it will explode.

It's not sustainable price. It's better to wait for the correction. This coin will easily go under 10 cents. And it will probably never hit big exchanges.

BAT hit Bittrex exchange last night, causing the price to rise roughly 30%, I believe the price will increase even more once other exchanges like Kraken or Poloniex will list the coin.

I heard over 90% of BAT is controlled by Chinese whales. I don't think Poloniex will list it.

who in the world would use a "privacy oriented browser" to go watch advertisements ?

overrated overvalued project that when gets implemented will be ruled by browse bots to leech them advertisers.

quoted from the brave website:

The new Brave browser automatically blocks ads and trackers, making it faster and safer than your current browser.

I would if the payouts where alright and the advertising environment decent with non annoying ads. The idea of cutting out the middlemen and giving the advertising money to the actual users is genious and better in every way. And I am positive there is inbuilt option to actually turn them off (that is probably the standard setting) if you want to without having to download any extensions and crap. Advertisement becomes something optional where the advertising money actually gets payed out to the viewer of the ad. Now that is the future.
90% up today and climbing up to position 18. BOOM!

Any source to backup that arguement?

Not sure if the BAT is actually controlled by Chinese whales, but roughly 100 wallets claimed 95% during ICO:

BAT will be pumped hard once the weak hands and profit takers are out. It's volume is going upwards and already is being traded at above ICO price. The way its crowdfunding was closed in few seconds under 3 blocks it is also record. BAT will rule after occupying the top most volume position at Bittrex. Polo is going to loose its effect easy by easy in my opinion.

It's easy to close quickly a crowfunding with almost all the coin presold to some whale before the public crowfunding
