BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN (BAT) is the investment of your lifetime

Ahahha. So now that I bought my stash at 16 cents I can stop FUD'ing on BAT. I don't think you dumb fucks realize the magnitude of this coin.

1. Imagine if you owned a stake in Chrome. In Safari. In Firefox. Yeah. You can. Shit is the web2.0 browser and on track for a million downloads by the end of summer.

2. The Ad thing. Do you have any idea how desperate people are out there? How many millions of fucking people will be opting in and making passive income viewing ads? Fuck I would do it yesterday. A solid $20-$50/month pays for netflix, internet, and gas.

3) Most of this trash you are all investing in are based on concepts, done by nobodies and autists. Imagine if Woz made a coin. All the motherfucking built-in media coverage that other coins would kill for. You got that.

4) Actually Bat didn't really milk their concept enough. They could've brought out a concept for Brave and milked this for years. At this stage in the project, they would have already been worth about $5. Instead, THEY HAVE DONE THE WORK ALREADY. This shit already exists. You are coming in nearing end-game. None of that bullshit waiting, fake news and hype. This is already here, and is going to move fast.

Once the Friday roadmap comes out, you will no longer be able to afford it. It should be pegging roughly to Golem as they are the best Ethereum tokens on the market. This summer when Ethereum hits $100 billion, I expect BAT and the other major tokens to hit between $3-$5.

Shit is only 16 cents and the easiest 20-40x you will ever have in your life.

BAT is very much the new Iota. How a coin will just pop into the top ten and everyone will wonder WTF it is and where it came from.

I am an online marketer. In fact, I trade cryptocoins to finance my long-term online marketing ventures (lead generation, affiliate marketing and stuff) which require a start-up capital. And I know what a demographic is.

I can tell everybody just one thing. If whatever BAT-based browser/extension/widget gets adopted by women, then BAT will be a smasher. Otherwise, a flop. So there are really just two options. But if the devs succeed, it will be one of the first normie-penetrating coins out there.

People go out of their way to download ad blockers.

You really think they would voluntarily download an obscure browser to enable ads ?

Do you really think the average internet user knows how to cashout on crypto ?

Think about that.

Its not designed for them to cashout, its designed so that they can get BAT and then use the BATs to donate or pay for subscriptions on sites that also deal with BAT. Actually cashing out BAT will be more of a pain in the ass than cashing out crypto normally is.

I partially agree.


At best, the coin turns into some Fiverr thing where a small community use it extensively to make money at home.

>sounds like a real pain in the bat

HODLing 6k here. I think it's one the best tech token on the market rn.

>implying it worked with patreons
>implying anyone would do that ever

Every fucking websites already sell subscriptions to remove ads and captchas.
Do you know anyone that pays for this type of shit?
Why do you think this would work user.. I mean cmon... stop buying the hype and think for yourself.

>People go out of their way to download ad blockers.
No, that's a fallacy. Only a specific audience does that (young males). Most people who are targeted by advertisers don't use ad blockers at all.

>I think it's one the best tech token on the market rn
>not a single argument to back that claim

You will probably reply with >muh Brendan Eich
Go ahead, regurgitate what ever you just red on reddit. You guys never think for yourself.

I'm waiting for eth to rise little bit. After that i will give my all belongings to this. I'll give my precious 0.1eth

There's absolutely no sense in having another Fiverr. If BAT turns into another Fiverr, it will be a failure. It must aim higher.

>Only a specific audience does that (young males)
>that strawman

What makes you think someone that is too tech illiterate to download an ad blocker will download a relatively unknown browser with some very weird crypto-hackermen features ?

Wrong coin dude.
coinmarketcap.com/assets/basic-attention-token/

Its not even gonna be close to Fiverr.
They won't even get remunerated for the ads they see.
Who the fuck would download ads only to donate to websites they barely care about... Theres already a "Donate" button on every website and no one pays for that shit. Jesus christ your guys are living in candyland.

HAHAHAHAH people are actually that retarded
I love it

Wrong, almost everyone runs an adblocker nowadays.

What makes me think so? The mere fact that you're projecting your own psychology to the whole consumer demographic. The thing is, online advertisers are not very interested in young males. Young males don't click on banners, don't fill out forms, don't leave emails and are pretty reluctant to spend money on utter crap. Advertisers love targeting women (and also older males). Those people rarely ever use ad blockers, so it's not a problem at all. There's a thing called banner blindness, but it's related to psychology, not ad blocking software.

The only valid point that you actually raised is about "a relatively unknown browser with some very weird crypto-hackermen features". Well, users indeed don't like unfamiliar software. And I'd like to see how the BAT team is going to promote it. If they succeed, then the token succeeds, otherwise, it's a flop, as simple as that.

That's bullshit, you're just projecting your own mindset on others. And those who use adblockers are usually not very interesting to advertisers anyway, they don't like savvy people.

Most people use adblocker now, if they didn't install it themselves then their sons/husbands/bfs did.

If the devs haven't envisioned such simple things, they shouldn't have created this token in the first place

"Donate" buttons don't work because those buttons are not run by advertisers. Advertisers run banner ads, content ads, search ad.. All those things work on the right audience.

I own about $10k worth of BAT and I want to fucking shoot myself.

I bought in purely because of hype. Once again, ask yourself, is it useful as a currency? NO.

Do you really think Coke and Phizer are going to bow down to some retarded fat old bald idiot who invented Mozilla a decade ago? Advertisers spend TRILLIONS on mind controlling you, they own the advertisement market. They would never use BAT based on principle even if it was the most amazing shit ever, which it's not.

It's actually fucking laughable that people think BAT tokens will be used by big advertisers... I mean really, come the fuck on. Advertisers won't and will not use it, and consumers don't need it or want it. Literally BAT is worthless. It has no real world application, and if there ever was to be some kind of "advertisement coin" You can bet the top 5 corporations who own everything will develop their own. Also brave is gay and fucking sucks. I bought in because of hype and I regret it. Missed the Ether gains AND lost hard on BAT.

Ok. so you traded FUDing for BAT to shiling for BAT. cool.

This simply isn’t true. I recently graduated in CSCI, and shockingly few of those students used an ad blocker. The rate among normies is much lower than even that.

Teenagers and young males, dude.. Don't be self-conceited, that is the LEAST interesting demographic to online advertisers, they don't spend a shit online.

>if they didn't install it themselves then their sons/husbands/bfs did.
lmao

If everyone really used adblockers, there would not be a multi-million display ad industry

Stop talking about something you have literally no idea about

The problem is you need to poor enough to actually want to do their ad nonsense but rich enough to have a decent computer.
I can't even run it, because my hardware is ten years old and can't run Win7 without having no sound. And you think that people will be able to understand what the heck a BAT is and use it when they can't even understand bitcoin?
The only people you'll get are the people who click on faucets, they are all insane. This isn't going anywhere but down.

Advertisers have already signed on to work with BAT. The target advertising firms aren’t massive fucking corporations (when’s the last time you saw a coke or phizer ad on a website anyway)

It’s smaller companies that get fucked over by the current system (Adsense usually). The proposed system aims to be more fair toward all parties involved in advertising (publisher, advertiser, and user)

It gives users more of a reason to watch ads, generating more revenue directly for publishers and indirectly for advertisers. There are already several instances where content creators are being fucked by Adblock, this solves that problem by giving users a reason to watch ads. You can see this EXACT same phenomenon in mobile gaming where users can choose to watch ads to earn in game items, EVERYONE WINS.

>phew I sure dodged the bullet on that one!

Did you ever donate any money to winrar ? What about your old dad, do you think he donated any money to any website ?

Advertisers flock wherever their target audience is, as simple as that

BAT has to be valuable to consumers in some way, that's a really tricky task. We're yet to see how things will work out

Don't worry about advertisers, they like money and technology, and they will trickle in as soon as they smell some profit for themselves

Read

>the right audience
>donate button on the fucking website you're actually using right now

How can YOU be projecting this hard

This analogy is retarded, the whole point is that BAT compensates users for simply watching ads. The user isn’t donating shit besides letting their browser display ads to them.

But that's bullshit. Not even 1/3 of the browsing population uses an adblocker.

Holy shit read the fucking thread. Normie dad has to download the fucking obscure browser in the first place to do what you just said. All this on promise of donating BAT to his favorite websites. Its the same thing, just a different approach. Everybody hates ads, its common fucking knowledge jesus christ anons, go outside and talk to anyone.

Wow you just googled that! Congrats!
What makes you think the 2/3 tech illiterates some bizarre unknown crypto-gadgeted browser instead of Chrome ?

What I'm saying is that whether donate buttons work or not is irrelevant. If you still don't get it, advertisers use a whole lot of manipulative tricks and data analysis to draw users' attention, they have to fight against ad blindness every fucking day, and don't doubt, they know what they're doing.

pasta vs pasta, I love it. This is what biz has come to

>Woooow advertisers signed for this? Who would've thought ?
What about the userbase ? Does it even exist ?

At least we know that, thanks to , 1/3 of the whole internet will not enable the BAT ads.

Holy fuck are you actually retarded? You need give up on this “you have to download a browser” meme. There are plugins planed for every single major browser.

It’s straightforward as fuck, make a shiny website with a one button installer link for the plugin, hype it up as “get paid to watch ads!” Watch the normies flock in.

There’s no convincing people that they need to “donate” or give back or w/e, the whole point is that it compensates people for having ads enabled in their fucking web browser

Who cares lol?

Google what revenue from digital advertising is. Those are some crazy numbers.

> claims no advertisers would sign up for it
The fuck are you talking about? Neck yourself.

Its like you can't see further than your nose. You think clickbait is some sort of complex concept for us to grasp? What I've been trying to explain to you is that this coin will not work because the people that fall to your shitty clickbaits are tech illiterates that use Chrome because they don't know any better. But if they could chose, you sure as hell know they would disable any ads they see.

You stupid fucking nigger, read the post I was replying to. Please kill yourself

I'm not the same user you fuck face, you know what post IDs are ?

>Replies to the wrong user
>Somehow its my fault and I should kill myself

Then why the fuck are you responding to my response? Please control your autism.

Of course people click on your shit, no wonder your ads are everywhere.

there are a lot of websites out there that offer cents for watching tens of ads, its not such an unfamiliar concept and if the browser becomes on par with the other big ones in terms of usability it may succeed.

Brave needs to get on handheld for max penetration

How confused are you right now? You're the one that replied to my post out of nowhere saying you refuted my claims, but they weren't mind you utter moron.

*mine

I'll never understand the normies

>He thinks the people will get remunerated
>He hasn't read a single thing about BAT

NECK
YOUR
SELF

If you actually owned 10k you would shill it even if it was complete garbage. Otherwise you don't seem smart.

I know it seems unbelievable but there’s still a lot of people out there who don’t understand technology.
Except of course they’ll all be dead in 30 years or less but that’s still enough time to milk their money

Well, you're wrong in a sense that you think that every single normie hates ads to death, but that is simply untrue because of ad contextuality: ads usually correspond the the user's interests, and a lot of effort is put into that (because advertisers lose money when targeting wrong people). On Facebook, normies see shit related to the groups they joined, Google shows them ads related to their searches, and so on.

Anyway, back to the point. Ads = money, just keep it in mind. Every new innovation in the ad sector always has an edge just because of that. I don't know if BAT succeeds or not, I'm not a fucking psychic, but I can tell for sure that the sector is hot.

You realize that’s there’s a whole lot of money being made on internet ads outside of browsers. Have one heard of this little thing called mobile apps? Facebook’s main revenue source isn’t the fucking website moron

Yes, I do. It still counts as "online advertising".

>innovation
Yes this is the only valid point so far. The coin may very well rise just because of this.

But you are absolutely delusional if you think tech illiterate normies that can't even download an ad-blocker will download this gadget. Even IF you could hold the coins and trades them for fiat, it would be too complicated for them and the "watch ads to get paid" formula has long been used on other platforms anyway.

Now to think that the user won't even be able to hold the BATs and they will just be donated back to websites is just insane to me, no one would signup voluntarily for something like that.

The only way this is gonna be huge is if the plugin is pre integrated in Chrome and is turned on by default.

The reason why BAT is stupid is the same reason SWAGBUCKS is stupid.

Add

Star powered dev team and working browser and thats enough to make it moon in this market.

lol i dont get the hate

#1. brave has adblocker built in. so there goes your adblocker aversion

#2. you can opt in to view ads and get paid for thibgs you saw anyway

#3. braves follows your "attention" based on how you interacted with sites. this way the ads you view are more tailored toward you --> something you may want

i dont really get the "obscure" comment as anything new is obscure. theyll need to promote it well and it may take a while.

the hardest part will be getting people away from their comfort. google and gmail and apple and safari have everybody hooked up through all of their chit -- email to phone to computer to cloud, etc.

As yourself this, are you using Brave right now?

>google and gmail and apple and safari have everybody hooked up through all of their chit -- email to phone to computer to cloud, etc.

This is all you had to type.

I started using brave yesterday to see how good it was, I ended up dumping $200 into BAT and plan to add more. the browser takes a bit getting used to but chrome and firefox feel bloated compared to brave. just wish the name was better, I mentioned brave to my coworker and he laughed at the name.

>I spent $10k because of hype

lol you *should* kys my man

you seem to know what you're talking about. My experience with women of all ages has been that 99/100 would curl into the fetal position at the thought of what I had to do to create an ETH wallet to store BATs in. The women I've met (personal experience, I know) also are extremely not good with currency conversion.

I can't see women as a demo getting into something unless it's a ridiculously lightweight and fad product/platform (the more superficial and vanity-centric, the better).

What I *can* see is poorfags and especially chinks and pajeets switching to Bravo to mine BATs. I was led to believe by the website and white paper that allowing User+Advertiser+Publisher to each get a share of ad "revenue" via the BAT medium was THE ENTIRE BASIS OF THE TOKEN. If, as Mr. Fud here: says, you can't actually cash it out and are intended only to spend it on Publishers, then it's gonna flop.

However, I suspect he has mistaken the (upcoming) integration of BAT+Brave with the current implementation of "Brave Payments" which, as I interpret the whitepaper, has almost nothing to do with future implementation of BAT.

If my interp. is correct, BAT could at least 2x+ in value before flatlining upon implementation, at best could actually become the basis of a large portion of online advertising. If his interp. is correct, it's gonna flop big league.

t. literally does not own a single BAT but considering stashing a couple

that's not really the point as I understand it, the question of BAT is not "Do people use adblockers or not use them", because Brave's selling point is built in "anonymity" and ad-free browsing. The question of BAT is "will people be willing to tolerate ads if they're paid a very modest sum for it, and will they jump through the hoops required (making a wallet, exchanging currencies, etc.)"? I would be, but I'm also not an 18-35 woman so advertisers don't give a shit what I think.

If this idea takes off (I don't think it likely, but possible) we could see much more streamlined "wallets" or some other easier way to "cash out" provided by Brave or Google or whoever. Diminishing returns on online advertising are a concern of many big players which is pretty much the only reason BAT might possibly work.

this, it's like how way more people are retarded enough to still pay for porn than any of us would ever imagine
