Basic Attention Token is the biggest sleeper hit in the crypto market at this present time. The founder Brendan Eich literally created Javascript, Netscape, and Firefox, and has now created a new browser that will generate its own ads and pay consumers to view them. These ads are said to go live by the end of June.
What the fuck? Is this the precursor to a new world order? You're god damn right it is.
You've probably heard the Coinbase rumours. Of any ERC20 token, BAT has the best chance by far of being listed on the normie crypto gateway. It is the only ERC20 token that is approved by Apple, making it the only reasonable choice for Coinbase as they want to stay on Apples lucrative app store. Also, in 2016 Brave (Brendan Eich's company behind BAT, simultaneously the name of his new internet browser) announced an official partnership back in 2016. The original proposal was to create a bitcoin app for the use of micropayments.
Well, Brave has accomplished that feat on their own, only with a token of their own devices. The Brave team features a Coinbase advisor, and there have been public discussions between Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase and Brendan Eich. Brian Armstrong said of BAT, "This is exactly the kind of token we would like listed on Coinbase".
What all that means is totally up to you. BAT is only .38 cents currently, and next week is Token Summit where Brendan Eich will give a presentation entitled "From ICO to Mainnet launch", followed by Coinbase's presentation "Beyond Coinbase.com: Coinbase's new product expansion."
What does all of this mean? Well, nothing yet, that's why it's called speculation. This information here is just the tip of the iceberg, but is more than enough for me to stake a significant position in BAT. The writing is on the wall, and if you aren't holding the token in the coming months, you're going to be sad.
