So when you are using the @brave browser and type in "binance[.]us" you end up getting redirected to "binance[.]us/en?ref=35089877" - I see what you did there mates 😂— Cryptonator1337 (@cryptonator1337) June 6, 2020
I don’t see BAT as a solution to advertising online. Also it has none of the properties to be money or cryptocurrency. Its a token on top of Ethereum (which is another case) that Brave controls. You may ask, users don’t buy it with money and only earn it how that makes it a scam? It has monetary value in the market, created out of thin (launched as an ICO) and the distribution is being done by Brave via their “anonymized tracking of users” it just feels wrong and not legit. Can users verify how much BAT Brave controls? Here is an interesting analysis about that: https://medium.com/glassnode-insights/an-on-chain-distribution-analysis-of-basic-attention-token-bat-4cc60fd0c48a
how does this make them a scam? do you mean like from a perspective of a libre cryptocurrency?
