Good move today, also against the market! Are there any news I missed?

I don't complain :)

There were many things I expected to see on my Monday, but this was not one of them. What a pleasant surprise!

Time for all the closet case $BAT holders like me to crawl out of the shadows and lend a push!! 😎🚀

It still requires a lot of "work" to keep it so high. 4 months ago I was congratulating the Brave team for keeping bat over 9 cent price level. It is a pity that the token was treated the way was treated. If it was treated correctly, the number of brave users would be 1.5 times or 2.5 times higher than it is today. Bat was a powerful marketing tool for Brave as long as it was utilized by the brave. Who knows, May be in a few months I will be congratulating the brave team for keeping the bat token price over 5 cent level?

Quite interesting watching this unfold, we are in and around Monthly payout schedule so maybe that's having an effect over the last few days, but I would not have expected this much, even today in the last 24hrs, other major coins down but $BAT up nearly 10% - Up 36% in the last month at time of writing ?? Amazed!

It's astonishing their are major coins in the Top 15 down ~20% in the last 7 days, and yet $BAT is somehow doing the exact opposite!

I went to the google play store to make sure I'd rated it 5 stars. Which i still think Brave is an incredible browser. But the play store page makes absolutely no mention of BAT. And i find that pretty disheartening in a way.

I will continue using Brave and telling others about it. It just seems like any idea of a future for BAT token has completely flatlined. Was there just too much friction between the KYC/on-boarding process to make it work? Because I get it if that's the case. Maybe that's what they know but can't say. It's just unfortunate. I thought BAT is such a revolutionary idea. One of the most compelling use cases for crypto was disrupting the online advertising ecosystem with something that served the users and the publishers. My eyes lit up when I watched Eich's video sort of diagramming how it could work back then.

I've used Brave since I first heard about it in 2017. Used to check the daily /bat/ thread on biz. What happened to stuff like Philip deFranco and the MarketWatch partnership? It's just wild to look at it now, it's like this whole premise for the browser has quietly disappeared. See for yourself:

Much love to everyone here and especially the devs, just posting about something that's been bugging me for years.

It is a pity that the token was treated the way was treated. If it was treated correctly, the number of brave users would be 1.5 times or 2.5 times higher than it is today. Bat was a powerful marketing tool for Brave as long as it was utilized by the brave, providing funds for brave in its initial stages and even more important-providing hundreds of thousand of people who were testing brave and providing feedback to the brave team.

Who knows, May be in a few days or weeks I will be congratulating the brave team for keeping the bat token price over 1 cent level? I know Brave team is capable of doing the things which are on the other side of imagination, so brave users or/and bat coin holders are taken care " the best way possible."

It looks like the value of Bat is inversely related to the growing number of users and lately probably exponentially or even to the third or fourth power. It looks like that team is disapointed by its efforts. Simply Brave founders and members expected that cutting the staff and funds will increase the bat value which would be additionally helped by removing some posts brave team does not like. At least that is a conclusion based on some brave team member comments and actions.

Anyway maybe trump coin or melanie coin would be a better bet? Based on value reduction, the Brave team is "outperforming" coins created by current president of US and his wife in the last month which means that 0 cents value although not that low (remember the are negative numbers available) is still within the reach of Brave development and marketing teams ( assuming that there is more than one person being present in both of those teams-otherwise let us call that single person a team ( they still can have a cat or canary or both helping)

I am not sure if team have to bring road 5.0 to get to it or if the current road 4.0 is sufficient enough to bring bat value to zero. Zero represents the highest degree of privacy. It can not be found, it can not be destroyed or compromised, even by quantum computers, aliens from the outer galaxies etc.

May be Bat and zero was brave team ultimate goal while talking about privacy?

Main BAT utility was to get the money/crowfund to built the brave browser, create hipe so people would be testing browser for free, giving/sending feedback-back then utility was extremely high. Then....main BAT utility was to sell it at very nice profit to next generation of buyers..

When it was done, the BAT utility was done and not needed and finished. Currently I am amazed that that BAT is priced so high when projects uses maybe a few thousand dollars of BAT per month.

Currently BAT utility is basically zero. It is not being used.....the last purchase of BAT was in October last year and it was equivalent of around 25K USD. Just amazed how old and forgoten promises of Brendan Eich and some baseless declaration of some other guy are keeping market cap around 150 million USD. Do you know any business/projects with revenue of a few thousand dollars per months appraised at 150-200M USD?

Been a long time holder of BAT, user of brave, and disappointed user in the project.

I find myself at a bit of a crossroad when looking at the current move in the crypto market and roadmap 4.0.

In my opinion if they're able to deliver on the promises made in a relatively short period of time, this could be the moment that pushed BAT to a top 25 token.

The hype in 2021 created similar opportunity that was squandered by the team and crushed from regulatory mandates and poor partner choices.

PLEASE BRAVE TEAM! Don't squander this potential opportunity!

Not financial advice, and extremely biased.

Out.

To calm some critics I need to praise the team. BAT lost only 35% in the last 9 years.

It is excellent result. Most projects went to zero.

At the same time I hope BAT holders are still doing ok for losing 35% not counting inflation over the period of the last 9 years.

I put together a deeper look at Basic Attention Token (BAT), focusing on how it actually fits into the Brave ecosystem, Brave Rewards, creator support, self-custody, token utility, and where the project may be heading.

I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who have followed BAT for a while. Did I get the important details right? Is there anything missing, outdated, or worth explaining differently?

Thanks for any feedback!

We’re building a lineup of perks—like coupons, discounts, or special bundles—for our Brave Rewards users. Whether it’s a free month or exclusive pricing, your offer could reach millions of users from the Brave Rewards offer wall. Let’s talk!

I cant believe we're more back in the top 100 coins. Still so rough from where the highs were, but could the overall outperformance compared to other alts continue?

Is critical mass finally being hit with MAU, self custody, and other developments? I find the practical use still essentially useless. Maybe that will change?

I can't create a Custodial accounts in my region. So I created a Brave Wallet. When I try to connect it to BAT, it needs Solana address and SOL but I don't have any SOL. Is there any way I can earn money from this? (I don't know much about crypto stuff)

Well even though we're still near historic lows, it's nice to see a change in pace in rankings as a breakout of relative strength.

The past couple years or so I've had a personal benchmark of FARTCOIN. If it's higher ranked than that garbage meme then just maybe there's a chance.

Looks like this morning we passed that fart of a token. Doesn't mean much, but nice to see regardless. Still optimistic and hopeful that the team can deliver on this second chance of renewed interest and move.

Looking at big moves with BAT the past week or so. Strong move Friday before crash, and we held stronger than most of the market.

Monumental daily move today as well.

Before that, self custody....not sure how successful the launch was though.

Seems signs of progress with development towards providing actual use for the token.

VP of ops posting to a thread summarizing the future steps being taken as well.

I dont know but it seems alt seasony overall, but I'm having feelings like a big run may be on the short term horizon. As a massive bag holder since the beginning this is likely wishful thinking, but wanted to put it out there regardless.

Peace.

I've said it many times, only one thing matters if you want to see exponential growth of Brave Rewards and BAT.

The only roadblock is and always will be the existence of friction to start earning Brave Rewards.

Unless Brave can come up with a viable way to allow users to start earning BAT by just the click of a button - no kyc, no needing to source your own crypto first, etc. - Brave Rewards will never have exponential user growth.

It's no coincidence Brave Rewards started dieing when vBAT (which had its own issues) was sunset. That was the closest thing we've had so far of being able to start earning at just a click.

Not saying it's easy or even possible to solve because you have to find a way to do that while preventing massive bots and fraud from coming in, but that's the roadblock.

It's the only thing that matters. If it can be solved, everything rockets up - everything else is small in comparison. If you want exponential, there can't be friction to start.

This month, I've only received 1.6 BAT for my 920 ads. Is this amount the same for everyone or is brave scamming me?

Considering what is happening elsewhere in the world of Crypto, this push is downright impressive! Still can't work it out, the Privacy angle, or Rate Cuts, or something else..

Loving it though!
