Soon

Better buy adex man who the fuck wants to install a new browser for ads

Brave browser is just proof of concept

It has a built in ad blocker. You can turn off the blocker and you'll be compensated for having to watch the ads. Advertisers are happy because people are watching their ads from start to finish and there's always the option of turning them off.

Stfu faggot

on mobile, its LITERALLY google chrome browser, put they taped their Brave Shield onto it which blocks all cancerous ads and lets through green flagged ones and will soon start giving you BAT for viewing ads you were already going to see anyways

Unless youre some degenerate that doesn't support the creators you consume content from. You aren't one of those people, right? Finished watching your 50th MDE video on youtube and blocked ads on every single one of his videos?

This is not how it works. You can turn off BRAVE's ads. ALL other ads by default are blocked, and you have the option to ALSO block Brave ads if you want, but you get 0 BAT from then on.

Will somebody post the picture of the BAT "team" with the creepy homeless dude and the japanese trap pleaseé It should be posted in every BAT thread so that everybody know that you ask us to invest in a company managed by some type of manga club.

Still does more than 90% of the memecoins that mooned

but neeegroooo, i have my gay ass broswer, with all my gay ass scripsts, and addons and shiiieeeetttt. even muh madafugin favourits and porn tabs open, why da fuh why i wana switch to that gay ass shit, ps. its prolly buggy af and it might cause my gpu to act all gay an shit whilest gpu rendering.

>japanese trap
just bought 100k

I just downloaded it and literally can't even access Veeky Forums on it

nevermind I found it

Take a look and ask yourself Veeky Forums. Would you give any job to this band of misfts?

>i
dat nigga hench boiiiiiiiiiiii

I'm on Veeky Forums w/ Brave right now. You must be retarded.

>Nosferatu is on-board

Just bought 100k.

...

True

holy shit I can't believe people are still posting these edits I made

I have 5555 BAT.

Will I make it?

Yeah but not as hard as me lul

So where would BAT derive its value from then? If used as an internal brave currency, there must be a huge and ever growing supply for it to maintain its functionality right? It sounds a lot like ripple desu.

This browser is shit desu, I don't like the feel

>So where would BAT derive its value from then?

uhh where does any crypto derive value lol

i was going to buy bat until i realized what it was

shitcoin is shit. Firefox Adblock on mobile works and isn't a commercial company who will inevitably sell your info

more

Buy BAT, they said.
$1 by the end of the week, they said

Let's face it guys, bat is kill

next week

Down $300 on this meme coin where is the moon

BATfags have been screaming "soon" for a year now. It's getting pathetic.

It doesn't play webm

Advertisement just created a culture of clickbait across the entire internet, I'd rather the entire system get castrated back to where it was twenty years ago and the only websites are those that can pay for themselves out of pocket or elicit donations
It won't happen, but it should

Its been soon for the past 3 months on this thread.

Just face it, bat is faggy asf. It aint gonna get no traction anytime soon. It might go to 0.30 but nothing beyond that. Mercury wont save you.

AdEx, bunch of Bulgarians on milk crates shooting a vid in a room with horrible acoustics for an ad platform tied to a coin. Way to go retards, you looked a lot more unprofessional than you thought.

Any important dates for this coin?

>nobody uses/ will use / this browser.
>half a million downloads.
OK

Only people i've ever seen use this browser are in crypto. Also compare your shitty half a mill to chromes 1bill

Brave has no marketing, its unknown. People will be using mozila/safari/chrome... not some faggy browser that looks like a retouched version of firefox.

venturebeat.com/2015/05/28/google-chrome-now-has-over-1-billion-users/

The browser isn't the end of this project, it's the beginning.

BAT is definitely NOT the future of advertising. There's no denying that. But there is money to be made in the short term. Then hype will die off and the coin will die.

Yes i agree with this but this coin is seriously overhyped on this thread. Its flip and thats all that it will ever be.

A much better option is ZRX. Decentralised exchanges are the future and there are already lots of projects using the protocol including ethfinex which will be launched in the following weeks.

I hope everyone has their crypto twitter/reddit accounts ready to shillthe fck out of this coin when Mercury is released, if we can't inflate this pos to 15k sats I'll be disappointed.

I'd like you to explain how its not and what you think the actual future is? Unless you have a marketing degree forgive my scepticism. If sites won't let you view their sites until you disable your adblocker I'm pretty sure the current system is on the ropes.

Advertisers aren't going to pay people to watch their ads. The goal of advertisements is to drive people to their website, paying for traffic isn't going to do that. I just think the concept is flawed. I would like to know what the CTR is for these ads compared to traditional ads. My suspicion is it will be much worse. You will have plenty of users sure, but you're really going to struggle to find advertisers willing to pay.

I started using Brave to block ads on mobile before I knew it was linked to crypto. Fight me.

>Advertisers aren't going to pay people to watch their ads. The goal of advertisements is to drive people to their website, paying for traffic isn't going to do that.
Advertisers literally pay for ads right now already.

Yes they do pay for ads but they dont pay `people` to watch the ads.

They don't give a shit who the money goes to, they just care they get a certain amount of views and a certain click-through rate.

Yeah what im saying is the the CTR is going to be significantly smaller if the reward goes to the users. Its simple game theory.

im willing to bet people paid to watch ads will pay more attention than those who aren't

For example:
>0.1BAT to view this ad, earn an extra 0.5BAT by completing our short survery/visiting our website!

I think the thing is if I was a company exec with a million dollar advertising budget I'd rather buy into a direct advertising system like bat than pay some smug marketing prick in a $2000 suit for bad data on how many viewers are allegedly viewing my ads.
At the end of the day I couldn't care less, I just hope it hits $2 so i can 10x my $5k

I would put BAT in the same category as the KIN Ico. Its going to do well in the short term but its a completely unrealistic concept.

Natural views are always going to be more profitable than paid views. Its why people dont pay for fake views on youtube but are willing to pay for advertising.

lol you serious, theres shit like that out now. I have Qmee installed and ignore it 99% of the time because clicking on some link and staying on a page for 30 seconds isnt worth 0.06p.

see

but fake views aren't people, paid ads to people are people willingly spending their time watching the ad

They're not willingly watching the ad. They are being paid for it. There is a massive difference.

lol nobody wants to watch ads even if they are paid to watch them and marketers DONT want hollow views. Shit like behavioural ads are the thing thats currently in. You think one of the largest industries in the world is going to want to do business with brave? Where people who watch ads will simply watch them to get paid.

get real user

in other words, not just "paying people to view ads"

>one of the largest industries in the world

So, even the tiniest partnership will send BAT to the moon

lol whats your definition of moon. X2 max?

look at the number of coins and consider the marketcap.

That is what it is at its core. And its not going to appeal to a mainstream audience. Can you imagine your parents watching ads for BATshit. Then putting their BATshit on an exchange then converting it to bitcoin then withdrawing and converting to fiat. NO

marketcap is all that matters, its tiny considering there are coins with much higher caps that do literally nothing

it's not our fault fatman eich doesnt hype his thang

Wait, do you unironically believe the future of crypto is with normies using wallets, exchanges, copy and pasting public keys etc? How can you be so clueless?

No but what happens as technology advances is it becomes more abstract. Do you know how your computer receives all these packets of information from the other side of the world almost instantaneously? NO but as technology advances the need to know that becomes less and less until eventually you dont need to know. Same applies to cryptos. Soon people will not know what the blockchain is.

And so what does that have to do with your first point?

Nothing i was just answering your question. BAT will never get to that point of abstraction because it wont work.

It will be automated so that your boomer parents never need to know what BAT is. They'll just build small tip jars to send to that nice lady who posts all the funny cat pictures and Beatles lyrics.

If bat doesn't moon to 8k Sats I will kill myself

Do you really think the purpose of BAT is to make people open a page of just ads just to farm BAT?

It most likely will moon because that is how the crypto market operates in the short term. Buy the rumor, sell the news. But eventually the coins with good tech and a good idea will succeed beyond the shitcoins.

That is what will eventually happen. There is no advantage for big advertisers to use BAT over say google adsense. When google adsense offers a better CTR.

>When google adsense offers a better CTR.

The whole point of BAT is to try and do better

you dont work

I dont have your smelly edit anymore for some reason can you post it

Actually lolled

This is not how it works stop spreading lies

Yes bat will rise but there's no moon here. You will at most triple your money. Who fucking cares about that? I need 10x returns to even be remotely interested.

So you invest $10k and it goes to $20k and that's not good enough for a one week investment? You sound like a greedy idiot who will soon get burnt badly.

>5 reviews on the itunes store.

I hate Google's and Facebook's shenanigans too, but I don't think Brave would be able make headway in the browser/advertising ecosystem. The browser blocks ads but it lacks many features that modern browsers have. They released their product too early. First impression is important and they failed at that.

Nah the browser is pretty good the dude who deisgned it is the same dude that made firefox and created javascript if you come from a browser like firefox you'll find it good if you're a cuck coming from edge or chrome you'll find it awful is all relative
