    Few thoughts about Brave & BAT

    Posted: 24 Aug 2019 06:06 PM PDT

    BAT (brave browser token) is seriously slept on, hear me out.

    1. Brave is the most popular crypto application, gaining serious traction lately, these numbers are impressive: https://batgrowth.com/
    2. In many ways, a browser can and in most cases are an entry point to the internet, its not unreasonable to think that a browser could position itself as the entry point to crypto for millions of users.
    3. There are many advantages of being the entry point for a huge chunk of users, for example, how does a wallet addon survive if Brave creates its own native noncustodial wallet? How about a Dex.. The list goes on. The guy who controls the entry point has a lot of power. No one is positioned better than Brave in that regard.
    4. The BAT token is slowly being integrated all over, no other similar token is even close. Once they reach a certain level of adoption it will be extremely difficult for anyone to compete. Similarly to how social media platforms have a lock on their segment, the users themselves become a huge incentive and growth driver.
    5. Brave browser has a truly revolutionary element to it, users can earn real money by allowing ads. Not only that users can choose to donate/reward their favorite content creators directly, either auto or manually. No one else does it, the closest anyone has ever come to something similar is rewarding a few % worth of coupons.
    6. Brave users can earn serious money, you can earn more by browsing the web than what the poorest 1billion of people on earth earn by working. Think about that for a second. (You would have to exclusively browse brave verified websites, but with so many publishers joining I frequently land on sites that are verified)
    7. Brave also has a powerful and honorable mission, to protect user's privacy and remove the status quo with massive privacy-intrusive practices of selling users data. Something that is slowly becoming a mainstream concern.
    8. The Bat token has several very healthy mechanics that could see it take off. First of all, every advertiser would have to buy the Bat token to pay for their ads to be displayed. This creates volume and continuous demand.
    9. But what many fail to realize is that with BAT there will be a MUCH larger loss of coins than any other crypto, millions of people having various devices where they have earned a few Bat, they lose their phone, forget about the wallet.. They haven't paid for anything, they may not even know it could become valuable. No idea how to estimate the numbers yearly but it has to be a ridiculous amount of tokens that exit circulation.
    10. If Brave continues to grow, BAT could take on new lifeforms. It would be the cryptocurrency most people have available at their fingertips. It would make sense for all sorts of merchants to start accepting it. Especially those merchants that sell inexpensive services such as VPN, domains, streaming and so forth. Brave could also incorporate scheduled billing easily, ability to swap to/from other tokens, lend out Bat, Loan Bat, all defi.
    11. Brave might become one of the most important entry points as outlined above, that would give huge incentives for other projects to accommodate and cater to BAT holders, similarly to how Binance, for example, enables airdrops and various incentives given to their costumers Brave could also encourage new partners to create advantages and perks for BAT.
    12. BAT protocol is separated from Brave, so other browsers and unaffiliated tech could join the ecosystem and instantly gain value from the already widespread existing use of BAT. Its a genius by Brave to have structured it this way imo, it drastically increases the chances that BAT could become the default "attention token".
    13. If Bat accomplishes its goal, it will see a Bitcoin-like growth in value, in fact, it could bc of its unique positioning/angle overtake and become more widely used than bitcoin itself. We could also speculate that the BAT wallet ultimately would allow for Bitcoin atomic swaps, enabling users to earn Bitcoins or Eth instead of BAT if they choose. (With a slight penalty or burn I would assume)

    FYI: Coinbase Wallet app has a built-in Ethereum-enabled mobile browser that lets you browse regular webpages

    Posted: 24 Aug 2019 02:57 PM PDT

    The browser is obviously integrated with the wallet component of Coinbase Wallet so you can make payments like you would with a browser using the MetaMask extension.

    So you can use web-based dapps with this wallet and make payments from it directly from the web page including with ERC20 tokens

    ICON to become fully decentralized and gets STAKING

    ICON to become fully decentralized and gets STAKING

    Hello everyone,

    In the last days, we saw some price action with ICX and had some nice gains. But this post is not about the price of ICX - tbh it was really flatlined and some used this period of stagnation for accumulating more; some jumped out because of total frustration. However, let's put the price talk aside.

    More interesting is, what is happening with ICON, ICONLOOP and ICX. What is brewing and what we can expect from this project? -- in my humble opinion, ICON is definitely one of the few altcoin projects which didn't stop pushing everything in the right direction. The opposite was the case, they hired more and more people, have a solid financial base, completed more and more DApps and worked on their connections with the korean government, which is totally important in terms of building out Seoul as a smart city. With "Broof"- a certification system on the blockchain - they set another good milestone for that.

    In the moment ICON is about to get fully decentralized and on the 26th of August we all will witness the Pre-Voting and will be able to stake ICX. ICON will give away 3 Million ICX for all who take part in the Pre-Voting event. Everybody who pre-voted and staked ICX during this period, will get a share of this huge amount of ICX!

    Investors will be able to vote and stake via the ICONEX wallet, which will be updated in approx. 3 days; exactly when the Pre-Voting period starts. This will be doable in an easy and safe way via a Ledger!

    Personally, I am happy to see progress here, because I still own some ICX and definitely want to stake. What do you think about the upcoming events of ICON?

    Have a great day!
