>Do the Brave folks get a cut of that money or is it completely peer-to-peer using a cryptocurrency network? No, they don't take a cut if you fund your wallet directly and use it to tip the content creators. >If it's the latter what's Brave's business model Here is how they make money, just pasting my comment from below: By default, ads are blocked, but users of Brave can opt-in to have privacy-friendly ads from the Brave network displayed on websites they browse. Brave get 30% of the revenue from those ads, and the users get 70% of the revenue as BAT tokens Users can then use those BAT tokens to tip the websites they like that signed up as Brave publishers (see a list here: https://batgrowth.com/publishers https://batgrowth.com/publishers) So the Ads / Get paid to browse part of Brave is 100% optional and opt-in, many people think it is mandatory >Making it easier and faster to transfer small amounts of money online is definitely something that needs improving but unfortunately so far cryptocurrency-based solution haven't really managed to solve the problem, mainly because speculation makes them a pretty terrible currency. That's a tough problem to solve. Yeah, I'm kinda fascinated about Brave's model, I'm wondering if it will be the first cryptocurrency-based solution that make sense to me
