I love Brave and have commented positively about my experience with it in the past. But I’ve never owned crypto, and I don’t comment on it much (or positively) on HN or elsewhere. Just an N = 1, but I imagine I’m not alone.
- kbelder 4y agoNo, I'm in that boat with you. Crypto is pretty much a minor leftover relic of Brave's startup strategy, you don't need to touch it or deal with it. If I had to fuss with it, that would be a negative for Brave; but it's basically irrelevant.
- dubswithus 4y ago> Crypto is pretty much a minor leftover relic of Brave's startup strategy How do you think Brave makes money?
- dahfizz 4y agoAds, same as every other internet company.
- soundnote 4y agoBy selling ads and services for normal money. The crypto is for the users to tip content creators with. Brave buys the crypto used to tip users with normal money ad revenue from the open market, as far as I know. That means the creators users gave tips inevitably have someone to sell their BAT to.
- wickedsickeune 4y agoI strongly dislike cryptocurrencies, but I love Brave. I don't follow news on it much though, so maybe it's because of ignorance?
