BRAVE/BAT Rumors

"There's a site and you can guess which one it is, has 80 million adblocking users a month... they are ready to try something with us, they are ready to convert those users to Brave users."

Brendan Eich, CEO of Brave, said that in a recent interview. ~53:30

Which site? Is it Twitter? Jack Dorsey seems bullish on Crypto but I can't see Twitter having that many adblocking users. Maybe when 1.0 rolls out with BAT Ads, things will be more clear. Coinbase listing is only the beginning. Fill your bags below $.50

Its definetly tweeter they always had finnacial problems
This will make bat go to mars cause it will be the first massive use case of crypto history

>implying people would continue to use a site without using adblock to instead be paid with a browser plugin token

Can you be more stupid???? Bat replace ads
Pleease at least understand what you are talking about before tring to fud something stupid link bangholder paid shiller nigger

Twitter has ads? It'll probably be Reddit.

theres a place thats keeps on calling me

down the road thats where i'll always be

That's what I'm confused about. Twitter does have ads but the majority of users likely use the Twitter App, which obviously doesn't block Sponsored Tweets.

No way are 80 million blocking ads using Chrome to browse Twitter. This leaves Reddit the likely culprit, and I don't browse Reddit that much so I can't really comment on its advertising situation. Compelling Redditors to switch to Brave would probably be a great place to start though.

Although Redditors are 80% mindless sheep that can't form a unique opinion to save their lives, they can easily be herded into adopting a new technology/browser if their peers keep recommending it. Getting Reddit on board with Brave would be a moon mission on its own.

Also big rumor that BAT gets listed on Coinbase today, for what it's worth

Download porn faster without the ad popups problem. No one is addressing how big this is in normie town. Plus Brave is a great product and is faster imo, I've already switched and this tells me this is already top 10 territory.

can it be twitchtv?

my shit blocks everything

How is this news? Its on CB pro, obviously just a matter of time for regular CB listing. How is this not priced in?

Market is scared and slow, there's not much speculation. Usually you can't get in on releases of this news because of bots pumping it immediatly.

ZRX literally tripled in price after regular coinbase listing, the pump hasn't even started yet

>tripled in price
fake facts

This is true. Once the brainless retards get told that there is a better platform then they will adopt it. Redditors cannot think or act on their own will, it has to be sponsored by the hivemind for them to go forward.

That would be my guess too.. “content creators” was a dead give away since that’s all twitch fags bitch about

Ok, doubled in price. The total pump was a 3x but the CB listing did a 2x. Check the graph

>checked and redpilled


Got a guy running around saying that its potentially yahoo, which would be huge for user acquisition and retention.

Its never priced in.


Delusional, porn is still a blacklisted industry. That would be the kiss of death for a young sv startup.

yea I see this also.

Ok fine I'll rebuttal, How about all the fucking torrent sites that bludgeon you with ads and how many people use that globally. Don't be obtuse, this is actually quite remarkable now that I think about it.

Eich browses Jow Forums confirmed ~57

I agree that there is a use case there but think about it from Braves perspective. They're is a potential for content crossover on torrent sites. That means that Brave could potentially be trying to sell ad space not only to the companies that are trying to protect their content and its revenue, but also the people who are trying to steal and host said content.

I just don't see it happening. They have enough maturity and business sense to realize that this is a bad play not only with respect to their reputation but also legally as well. They're definitely going to be staying with safe (but important) websites or companies.

I'm not saying that they should promote that, all I'm saying is it's a side effect bonus that will add a crap ton of users globally. I've already tried it and it's so beautiful it's ridiculous. I switched immediately.

It's gonna be Twitter or reddit. Rumors have been going around for a while and this is going to absolutely dwarf the coinbase listing. Putting bat/brave in front of 100s of millions of people plus all the news attention this is going to get from crypto sources to mainstream news is going to be fucking crazy.

Porn is the most obvious use case for BAT

no

if it's Twitter it will blow up on all the financial channels.

BAT MC will easily be over a billion and you could expect TWTR to pop hard.

>my body is ready

I think it's Twitch though. The "content creators" is the giveaway.

$10 eoy really isn't out of the question.

Holy shit LMAO. That's great. ~58 minutes in. "I know there are people on Reddit saying ha-ha... or they're on the Chans, on Jow Forums saying..." Fucking BASED. Brendan is /our guy/

Imagine a thread with a confirmed Brendan Eich posting in it answering questions about BAT. That would be the best thing to ever happen on this retarded board.

Brendan is so fucking red-pilled.

agreed, reddit is the most likely culprit because they're the "smart hipsters" of the internet, they have the most incentive to try to get attention by saying "fuck google" and switch to Brave. Its also an easy platform for normies to get in on crypto so the normie half has a way to participate as well. this is the ignition flame

average fiat buy in is around $0.38 since the summer, when can I finally rid myself of this tumor? I'm thinking at $0.5 rid myself what I got with fiat and keep long term my stash I got from BTC (average is ~3.3k sats from last Dec). Man I fucked up

Thats me, and i have been telling /biz retards its twitter and im about to start telling reddit users its reddit.

zdnet.com/article/yahoo-declares-war-on-ad-blockers-blocks-email-access/

This is an article from 2015. There are tons of things pointing to it being yahoo, but i could be wrong.

Either way anything would be big. Yahoo is actually bigger news though. BAT is already going to gain users through vocal tech people speaking out on all of those platforms. These platforms have a lot of user overlap so lots of people will see this advertised over and over. Rule of 7 if you are not familiar with advertising.

Yahoo has a very different user demographic compared to the other platforms. I havent looked into yahoo users too much but they are certainly a very large group of outliers. I think they are pretty loyal as well.

btw you fucking retards who dont deserve this. Its twitter. I would say dont buy but im out of money. Fuck you faggots.

He actually is very red pilled. Saw him like a tweet about McCains death and the headline was calling McCain a traitor basically.

>premium video starts playing
>just as it gets to the good part it pauses
>0.1 BAT to see the rest of the video - yes/no
>my dick is hard so obviously yes
This, except 1 billion times per day

You will regret ever selling BAT. Keep it as suicide insurance. If that money was in any other crypto, you would have been worse off.

I know it's stupid but what if BAT got so powerful it actually became a legit currency in it's own right? Crazy to ponder.

It could easily become the currency of the internet in a few years.

users don't get paid in BAT to watch ads? then use that BAT to skip ads? what am i missing? you really think people are going to buy this shittoken to bypass ads instead of using adblock? anyone holding bags of this shit is literally retarded

I put 200 bux into BAT at 0,24. I didn't want to shift my other coins around as they're all still recovering.

Feels good so far tho.

>users don't get paid in BAT to watch ads?
Yes they do.

When cam whores?

this user beat me to it but yeah don't sell this for a measly CB pump.

it was rhetorical. also, why i said, what am i missing? retarded BAT holder confirmed.

Jesus Christ. You don't even comprehend how BAT works. I hate you already for being stupid so I'm not going to spoonfeed you, at least go watch a YouTube video about the token before posting in my thread. (Hint: You don't buy BAT and use it to block ads, you absolute Pajeet)

This is interesting because it is clearly poised to be a browser currency and then flat out internet currency, but I believe Brave can't label it/approach it like that because it would open up a whole new can of worms legally. So for now it's left as an "attention token" for advertising, whereas it clearly can (and will) be used for so much more.

Go look at the UGP wallet. There was already a large portion moved last week in preparation for this.

so, you get it for watching ads and then use the ad-collected BAT to bypass future ads? is that it? this shit is literally the most retarded "project" in crypto and these "partnerships" are Vechain-tier. LMAO at all of you

>retarded BAT holder confirmed.
So what? You think it's funny to be retarded? We can swap if you want. Asshole.

damn, you really are a retard. fucking kek

Are you the BAT whale that intentionally trolls and FUDs BAT? Because you're doing a really good job of pretending to be retarded.

At least I don't buy my clothes at the toilet store.

i know i'm doing a good job, because no one is going to use this shit. this is a literal retarded zoomer coin. there is literally no point when adblock exists. every website on the internet would have to collude to use this shit at the same time, otherwise, the first one that does will lose all their adblock users to competitors who don't incorporate BAT. this is simple economics and you all got memed hard. good luck unloading those bags. and no, i'm not him.

Feeling so fucking comfy right now. Glad I already filled my bags months ago. Just bought another 50 dollars worth for the fuck of it. Get ready for lift off boys!

sick insult bro, you totally got me. >obvious pajeet shill is obvious

>there is literally no point when adblock exists.
I didn't know using adblock gets you paid to turn ads on.

Anyone with half a brain cell will sell BAT after it goes live on Coincuck

why would i want to get paid to watch ads and "paid" with a worthless shitcoin just so i can pay it back to unblock future ads? that is so retarded, adblock makes this an unnecessary step. i'm not a poorfag and i use adblock specifically so i do NOT have to view ads. most adblock users would agree

Bat holders are the best case study of absolute retardation.Token revolves around one mediocre iteration of a chromium based browser that will never see mass adoption.Chrome is out there,it is and will be the no1 in chromium universe.Deal with it.Your average joe won't download another chromium browser ever, firefox ppl will not switch ever and the tech savvy enough that are ok with putting up with chromium browser have way better options out there if they want to avoid chrome ( Vivaldi for one).
Now the next counter argument to this made by bat holders is that the token can survive without the browser through plugins etc. Top fucking kek retards. Just check the biggest streaming platform you delude sheep. See what they are doing? They try to have donation go through them(the bits system ) and minimise the amount of donations that go through paypal/pateron etc. And you faggots think they are gonna implement a third party payment system that revolves around a token with no fixed price? You ppl are fucking deluded.

you haven't even mentioned what their own whitepaper says...the price of bat is capped at 1 dollar. it literally cannot go above $1

Using Brave right now to reply to this brainlet's comment. "It's better over here bruh"

They cant claim to be the internet of the currency because bitcoin maximalists would have a field day. They will be on suicide watch too. Just wait til eich creates a token sink and destroys token velocity. He created web 1.0 web 2.0 and he is going to be the owner of web 3.0. The government wont even be able to stop him. He will also be running for president in 2024 after trump to save mankind.

im not even sure what to say about what i just read because my brain just shut down from how retarded you are.

Because the BAT is needed for developers to display ads, therefore you'll earn it and sell it to them and it creates a mutual advantage of watching ads at each other's benefit.

And how is that implemented? If(price>$1) price=$1; ?

That feasably isn't possible to control.

Well fucking said. Do you work in the industry?

>i use it
>therefore ppl will use it

How retarded are you? No it's objectively worse as a browser than at least 3 other chromium browsers out there.Brave will never catch on, anyone in the industry or anyone with half a brain can see it.

Exactly.

>i use it
>therefore ppl will use it
That's actually solid reasoning..

Yep, if it can convert me(a very stubborn person to switch platforms) then I can automatically deduce that millions upon millions of others will do the same. It's not that hard to calculate.

Just fucking lol at all the people fudding right now. They are trying so fucking hard because they know their shitcoin is going to get dumped and BAT is literally going to siphon all the money out of this $200B market

They are so scared. I have never seen fud ramped up like this. Using every dirty lie in the book. Cant wait to look back at screengrabs one day and see all of my posts.

/biz doesnt deserve bat. All the ogs left because this board is filled with retarded pajeets.

The browser isn't "on the blockchain", you can download and use it right now. It's a regular (privacy) browser with shit integrated.

millions of poor americans is even easier

Stay poor moron you dont deserve the bats

That is only one use case. There is also paywall content, subscription, etc. Just because you use Adblock and don't pay for anything doesn't mean normies do. None of the sites you visit would exist if they did. Look up the company Patreon.

>That's actually solid reasoning

No it's not. He is using it cause he is invested in the ecosystem already and wants to see his investment succeed.If you are not already invested in the token there is literally zero reason to use brave.Which brings us back to this Dead token is dead.Anyone with half a brain will dump just before the goybase listing.I m holding ~12k bat myself right now.Is it good short term? Yeah i think so.Will it ever see mass adoption and rise to 3982029893428 EOY? Fuck no. It's sad that is supposed to be a board about investment advice and you have literal cultists like this guy here that thinks everyone is out to get him.Jesus fucking christ you people are hopeless.

>He is using it cause he is invested in the ecosystem already and wants to see his investment succeed.If you are not already invested in the token there is literally zero reason to use brave.
I've used it before on grounds of it being a privacy browser, when I wasn't invested in BAT. But I switched back to Firefox because of the power of mental inertia.

No i literally knew nothing about the ad industry. Got a job, and learned everything in about 2 months. Just enough to be dangerous. Not enough to be a 20yr advertising veteran. Noped the fuck out of there real quick when i looked into BAT. I had already made a quarter mil off eth after buying in after the dao hack so i just went home and researched BAT all day for about a year. I was already all in by the time i left my job. I have only become more confident as the team has released more details.

Im always talking to a fucking wall though. Crypto retards dont have the 1% mindset. 99% of people have either lost money or not made a whole lot. The 1% was either diligent or extremely lucky on some shitcoin.

checked
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, this is even worse. god, this is hilarious
this is all well and good, but i use adblock now specifically so i don't have to do this. this token presupposes that people will want to participate in this model. i argue this is not the case. plain and simple, this idea is retarded.
>capitulation: the post

fucking wizard, just saw your post. look at the one i just made.

>'ve used it before on grounds of it being a privacy browser

If privacy is your top concern why would you go with a chromium based browser in the first place? And no i m not advocating for TOR

>i argue this is not the case. plain and simple
That's just your opinion.

see

brave.com/twitch

Brave is growing in adoption, that's a fact. Up to 5 million MAU if I recall correctly. That's the opposite of "dead". If you need to know why BAT is essential to the platform, listen to the interview I posted in the OP. "Dump before the goybase listing" will prove to be absolutely horrible advice long term, but if you're in BAT for short term plays then by all means dump. Better you dump now and let new hodlers get in than dump later when BAT ads are implemented, etc.

"Mass adoption" is a tricky thing. Luckily Brave and BAT don't need "mass adoption" to survive/moon. "Literal cultists" indeed, or maybe we're seeing people who have done their research vs. people who haven't.

i know it is, what do you think we're doing itt? we're arguing our opinions, no one knows the future. good luck unloading those bags, and if not you'll have plenty of BAT so you don't have to view ads, meanwhile i'll just use adblock and still have my money

Listen you fucking retard. BAT might siphon your shitcoin money and leave you some heavy bags right now, but its literally bringing even more normies into crypto by the hundreds of millions. The fact that you are fighting this, and not even buying any and not even any for suicide insurance just shows how fucking retarded you are. Everyone can tell you are a fucking retarded npc. Theres like 3-4 retards just like you in this thread and everyone in this thread is pissed at how someone can be so retarded. You are aggravatingly stupid.

>nobody will ever use facebook. The idea is stupid and myspace is way better

They capitulated in the end, and they didnt make any money in the process

Sadly /biz retards are going to capitulate too, but they will do it at the tail end. They will buy in and get dumped on in a hillarious twist of karmic justice.

Brave is growing faster than facebook for anyone who is smart enough to read through this post and my others.

Whoaaaa whoa easy child. No need to Reee up a storm here. We're all gonna make it but yall niggaz at least should try the product before investing in it. I tried Ethereum, researched it and boom top 2. I tried and did my research with Brave, holy shit. That's all folks.

>comparing literal browser coin to faceberg
wew, lad
>muh mass adoption is coming
good luck with that. hope is not a tactic

You know what would be cool? If Brendan Eich found a way to make the browser replace facebook with a social media profil integration that protects your own fucking data. He'd pretty much kill all social networks with Brave.

>hope
There are statistics, you know. Brave browser is already happening.

imagine not having at least 200k BAT

ok, but why would a coin be needed for that? other than to raise money for his company where that money invested does not correlate to stock in said company. oh, wait...

Is this new?
