    But why not use BAT to directly support the STEEM platforms that you are already using within that brave browser?

    Something I do is tip @steempeak every month and include them in the Brave Rewards auto-contribute. That way they get a portion of the 20BAT that I push out into the world.

    Even with ads I only bring in about 15BAT a month so I am actively pushing 5BAT a month into the decentralized ecosystems that we all want to see grow, not robbing from peter (Brave ecosystem) to pay paul (STEEM ecosystem)

      That is an option, and one I mentioned in my post. The difference is that it doesn't benefit you directly, just indirectly. It's not a bad idea overall though and still better than not doing it altogether, which is what I mentioned in the post.

      Regarding your last comment...

      There isn't a lot of demand coming in for the steem token. That is evidenced by the fact that it has fallen 99% from its high and continues to lose ground on coinmarketcap to other comparable coins. This is one way that at least some demand can come into steem without asking users to pony up more fiat. You can look at it as robbing peter to pay paul, but I look at it as being paid for the work you do one platform and using that payment to help support another project that you also believe in. IMO, steem needs a lot more help in that regard than Brave/BAT does.

      BAT is worth > $350 million
      Steem is worth $50 million

      Not to mention BAT is one of the stronger altcoins this year, while steem is one of the weaker.

      This comment leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, but I see where you are coming from.

      If my BAT wallet starts to swell and a lot of the sites that I use regularly don't sign up as publishers for brave rewards, I may actually do the switch you are talking about here. Get more steem power and get some great posts the notice they deserve ;)

        Plus I am a stakeholder in steem, I am not one in Brave/BAT, so I may be a bit biased. :)
