The thing is, Im not sure Brave really needs a cryptocurrency. It seems that a centralized DB would be enough.

- rybosworld 6y agoSure it might work with a database, just as you don't need a blockchain to do what Visa does. But Brave is really one of the best showcases for what crypto can achieve imo. They've tied anonymity, opt-in advertisements, and micropayments into one thing. I think it would actually be more difficult to do this without a cryptocurrency.
- scsilver 6y agoThe unifiying protocol of a token(BAT) is a political feature. It aligns incentives out of the box. Stakeholders become shareholders, stakeholders become financially aligned. The problem with this can be speculation distorting the market, making it to expensive to transact, reducing or eliminating its value.
- RhodoGSA 6y agoHow can you ENSURE decentralization on a centralized database? How can you ENSURE anonymity and they aren't selling you data? How can you ENSURE borderless transaction in fiat? There's alot of things a blockchain does that can't be done otherwise.
