BAT has always seemed fishy to me. All the crypto advertising inside Brave asking users to connect wallets has nothing to do with the BAT rewards system, but they present it in a way that implies it’s somehow related. BAT itself is not really what they claim either because as a user you are not actually given tokens, you are given entries in a database which they then reconcile monthly and send you some amount of BAT of their choosing once you’ve passed KYC with a single sketchy KYC provider. There is no way around this if you want to actually sell your tokens. So the fact that it’s a “token” is for marketing only.
- ketamine__ 6y agoThe formula for receiving tokens is public. Uphold requires KYC because it isn't sketchy. In the crypto world many users want to move tokens around without paying tax. Catering to these users is not how you build a legitimate business.
