There have discussions of requiring staking BAT for advertising on Brave search. Probably won't happen because BAT is meant to be a utility token and this could piss off the regulators. > I think the general idea of earning tokens for searching and browsing is neat, but the way they're trying to use it directly as a microtransaction currency isn't super innovative. Micropayments have never worked before. There's hope in the future if the network effect is strong we'll be able to pay a little bit of BAT for one NY Times article, etc.
