The team's affinity for cryptocurrency projects drives me away personally. If you aren't aware, the Brave team have a "rewards" program where you "earn" their BAT token for viewing ads: https://brave.com/brave-rewards/ https://brave.com/brave-rewards/
I use scare quotes around rewards and earn because those are my trigger words for projects I should walk away from.
