BAT is stalling out

Why == true? You don't need to put it when checking a boolean you dumb ass

it might enchance readability to some people

Its hard to say, and it depends on what time frame. Crypto prices are 100% based on speculation. There is not a single token that has a value proportionate to the problem it solves. Theres just not enough users yet, and the tokens themselves are mainly only being used for trading. This is all obvious though.

I say time frame because this can go one of two ways. A speculation based price or a utility based price. A utility based price is assuming the success of the project. If the project is successful we are assuming the BAT model is on multiple browsers, and running on top of other applications like podcast players,smart tvs, and mobile games. We are assuming there are hundreds of millions of users, and that advertisers are on board, and that the advertisers are consistently spending money from their ad budget. At this point we can assume that the price of BAT will be somewhere between $5-7. This is due to ad dollars reaching parity with user/publisher liquidations.

Now we get to the other alternative. The speculative value. The speculative value could be lower than the current price, or even at some crazy price point like $20. If nobody is interested in crypto anymore or people just want to do scalp trades from shitcoin to shitcoin it could take a while for BAT to break $1-2. If people start to get interested in crypto again, were back to the point before the crash were people were betting their mortgage on $20k Bitcoin, its possible that BAT could hit $20. The price could go much higher than the actual stable utility value. We have seen it before, and its still going on right now. 100% of the coins on CMC are worth more than their utility value. The coins closest to their actual utility value are exchange coins like Binance coin. Im not sure how many fees are processed by binance by i could imagine its far closer than most.
Dont stop believing fren, were are getting close. After v1 they are going to step on the gas.

What sort of timescale do you estimate for the utility-based price of $5 - 7?

The $5-7 is not a number i just pulled out of my ass either. These are numbers from Eich himself who has estimated ad dollars spent per user, how much the user and platform takes, and some figure for token liquidation. The token liquidation figure probably states something like 90% of users will liquidate all their tokens on an annual basis. So the $5-7 is the equilibrium to where user growth is basically stagnant,ad dollars are stagnant, and money is leaving the system at a similar rate.

Everyday I wake up depressed that I cant obtain more than 3.5k BAT due to my poor financial circumstances. There are no lenders here, none for me anyway. Jobs are hard to come by. Its that old adage money makes money.

Im not a math wizard like Scott Locklin or the other mega brains on the team, but I think we will be able to have a better guess as more data is made public. Right now the browser has 5mm users and has grown 16% over the previous month. Keep in mind im very terrible at math. I would like to think once everything is running smoothly, and advertising, and referral feedback loops start that we will experience an exponential growth curve. Utility value could be reached in 1-2 years on brave alone with the user growth. There are other variables though. The BAT model could likely be integrated with firefox, a company brendan co founded, and is mostly reliant on search engine deals with google as the main source of revenue or safari, or opera. This would just speed up the process.

The biggest wildcard however are the advertisers. How long it will take to get them using the BAT model or how much they will spend is a real toss up. Could take 2-3 years. Could be sooner though. I would have to go back and look at twitter/snapchat ad suites for comparison.

Im banking on speculative value beating out utility value though. I don't doubt the stupidity of people. Snapchat, gopro, a few other ipo's and electric scooters give me good reason to believe it will happen again, and again.

You will make it fren. You're different. You can recognize opportunity. There will be many more opportunities in your lifetime. Three years ago i was 22. No college degree, living with my parents and had no idea where i wanted to go in life. I was always savvy though. I spent my time reading business articles, developing business plans, coding, and looking for my next opportunity. I was super depressed though. Got a job working security so i could spend more time researching. Ended up getting removed from my post at a rich gated community to a new post that i wanted to quit immediately. That place was Deloitte. I really wanted to kill myself but stuck it out. Ended up stumbling across smart contracts, and found out that the place i was working at was building ethereum prototypes. Invested my entire life savings into ethereum shortly after the DAO hack and just kept researching. Didnt let the price phase me, and didnt trade because i had a strong gut feeling it would be much bigger, and it was. Made a quarter million dollars, and left my job and became a digital advertiser. Long story short, my boss was too nice, and i didnt feel like i was providing enough value so i left, and i was a young 24 year old self made dude who hadnt lived enough. I learned a good bit about digital advertising while i was there though, and again I had another gut feeling with BAT and did the research.

You will make it fren, be cognizant, and dont fall for all the traps out there. Women,drugs,TA,oppulence etc, and you will make it.

so My thoughts, I am a huge bat supporter, second biggest holding after chainlink, I feel like we are going to experience a pull back, coinbase isnt listing right away, but it will, its only a matter of time, bat is already partnered with coinbase, this has been said by the team before. you are going to be able to buy bat via a credit card in the browser eventually

Digital advertisement is exactly where I want to be. Thank you for your supportive words, they actually do mean something. I want to found a company based on my BAT holdings, I want BAT to be so big that I can run full ad campaigns using only my BAT holdings. Have you got any links or research points that could help?
Ive known about crypto since inception, very nearly bought BTC @ $5 but partied and worked instead, nearly bought again at $200, bookmarked ETH twice before the big double / triple digit run. I recognise opportunity, Ive not seized it yet. I want capital to achieve goals. I have good ideas and a bunch of naysayers surrounding me which Ive learned to ignore. Personal development and history held me back, no longer.
