RE: Is Brave Browser still worth it?

in Project HOPE6 years ago

Interesting choice of topic @lbarbera

I'm using Brave from time to time, however I've never really got interested with trying to earn BAT tokens. Somehow I always believed that those are pennies.

it's concerning that the platform is not able to reliably handle payouts at this stage, after several years of development.

I wasn't even aware of it. Indeed. It's very concerning.

Many users have turned to the support forum as their wallet value kept depreciating, only to find out it was just related to market fluctuation. While this would not come as a surprise to someone familiar with cryptocurrencies, most Brave users seemed to lack awareness and expressed genuine frustration for what they perceived as an ununderstandable loss of value.

I wonder how BAT economy is functioning and how is it organized. Any idea? Where demand for BAT tokens are coming from? Advertisers?
(we know that supply is increasing, so I wonder where demand is coming from).

Solid read. Upvoted already.
Cheers, Piotr

In terms of exchange value BAT is 50% more than Steem, but the difference is what one can do with it. BAT seem to have their context (e.g. within Brave and Publish0x to mention two I know of) and yet it all boils down to usability. The selling point is that the token is based on Ethereum, so it can keep credibility and stay relevant.

To the best of my knowledge, yes. Brave as played a big part in attracting advertisers to invest on their ad-exchange platform and that's where the entire proposition began - it's called Basic Attention Token because it was born with advertising in mind.
