What is Basic Attention Token
Basic Attention Token. It is a utility token based on the Ethereum technology that can also be used as a unit of account between advertisers, publishers, and users in a new, blockchain-based digital advertising and services platform. The token is not a digital currency, security or a commodity. To learn more about how the BAT platform is working with the Brave browser, please see below.

Who is behind it, and who backs it?
From the creator of JavaScript and the co-founder of Mozilla and Firefox, with a solid team – funded by Founders Fund, Foundation Capital, Propel Venture Partners, Pantera Capital, DCG, Danhua Capital, and Huiyin Blockchain Venture among others.

How much should I invest?
Only invest an amount you are comfortable with losing. Like any investment, there is a lot of risk to mitigate and the level of risk will be different for everyone.

When should I invest?
Nobody knows what the price of Basic Attention Token, or any other token or coin, will do in the future. We can only venture a guess, based on our research and experience. The extreme volatility makes it completely unpredictable at this point.

How do I protect my BAT tokens?

BAT is an ERC20 token, and can be stored in ERC20 compatible wallets. We do not recommend a particular product, but some users report storing their BAT using a Ledger Nano S hardware wallet and MyEtherWallet.

I really like this project and believe it's a long term hold, though I may buy/sell to ride the waves of volatility. They have a stacked team.

It's been doing great the last day or so with a solid returns and I think it has more gains coming.

Recent spikes driven by this little mention in Bloomberg article a few days ago.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are two BAT coins listed on coin market cap and other charts. The other one is a junk coin. This is a branding problem the team has been having to deal with as it has created confusion among potential buyers. But they are working on this. I sent the BAT team an email and they got back to me immediately with clarification. In fact, we had several emails back and forth talking about the BAT project. Really cool guy wanting to chat about the project. I was very surprised. Really excited about the possibilities.

So you're gonna open a new thread for every major coin?

better than making 15+ threads about one question that includes some coin

@waterworks you think that brave browser will beat chrome/firefox?

"Lets create one thread for all crypto discussion" >> goes on to create different threads about every other crypto coins. Initial idea was good now having you create one for each is just the same... Should've created 1 for bitcoin and 1 for ALTS and thats it..

Doubtful but there is a large anti-google target market that could adopt it. Like any startup, I think a key will be for them to build partnerships.

Stop hating I love these threads
Tnx @waterworks

This coin, besides NEO, shows the most potential IMO.

Guy who created Tronix (TRX) tweet about BAT project leading to a decentralized web.

Every coin is getting crushed right now. It's just a great time to pick up on some coins.

Every coin is not getting crushed. Verge, Monero, Dash and many others up big over past 24 hours.

That's because they didn't go up with the previous pump...

If BAT gets big how will that affect Google. I'd imagine a lot of websites will start using BAT instead of adsense and since most of Google's revenue is from advertising I'd imagine they're not too happy about the prospect of it becoming a big thing in advertising.
