The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die
Be very cautious of investing in this coin. The fact that only a few people own most of the coins is very concerning to me. And Im not trying to be a troll on here knocking someone else's coin but rather a voice of reason.

In my honest opinion, I would invest in a more healthy coin in the same class like DGB or NXT or FCT. They have had a very organic price rise which tells me there are a lot of people holding the coin. Basic Attention was bought up by huge whales in the begining and started at 300 million price.

And as we can see the price has been falling big time.

Not sketchy, just the distribution method wasn't a good way to go, giving those with the most buying power the most coins, they should've put a limit per user/depositor.

And when only few are controlling the supply they're isn't much to go for them trading wise (try imagining 7 ppl in the same room trying to trade poker chips between each other with them having most of the supply lol trying to make more profit,  someone's gonna lose out)

Also 33% of the coins are owned by the devs...

In my honest opinion, I would invest in a more healthy coin in the same class like DGB, LKS or FCT. They have had a very organic price rise which tells me there are a lot of people holding the coin. Basic Attention was bought up by huge whales during their ICO (which by the way was sold out within minutes) and now only a few investors own a large bag.

This should serve as a reminder to folks trying to start their own Coin. DO NOT make ICO private or unaccessible. Be open and transparent and put the coin on an exchange so the average person has a chance to get in cheap. Fair and honest is the trick with these currencies.

I think this will come back to haunt BAT. Only time will tell.

Oh and just an FYI to make my point.... Only 7 people own more than half of the circulating supply of BAT.

I feel this has so much potential yet the drawback of having a select few owning most of the supply is holding the price down. Nobody wants to hedge their bets on something can be dumped so easily.

It's good to be a whale 🐳

Dumping ability...

It already went many X since the ICO, I don't see it going... Shorting would be a very risky strategy here.

I actually don't know if there are many platforms allowing short trades.

Knowledge is power
My guess is that best time to buy would be around August when it has gone back to ico price.

If it falls, it has to rise first.
If it rises, it's already down.

i bet you missed the opportunity, right?

You mean the 30 second flash buying opportunity that has resulted in an NXT style distribution to a few insiders that are waiting to dump 1.45 billion tokens on to the market. Naw this baby is going much much lower.

Save your money for Bancor imo, at least it will get a good distribution (1 hour uncapped ICO).

I dont think bancor is a good deal - 2.7$ per coin for ICO only with white paper? what if they screw up or delay project? DUMP, same happened to lisk and waves
both endedup under ico price.

Tonnes of noobs here, read weak hands - plenty of them will exit under solid pressure when shit hit the fan:)

I will wait... exactly the same shit happened to golem and got them for 30% below ICO

Secondly ETH is parabolic now, so most likely you will loose money from day 1 anyway and no caps mean lot of whales ready to dump on you
when they realize the don't hold majority of coins and are not able to control the market - they will be force to short.

Don't buy.

I find this wallet simple.

https://www.myetherwallet.com/
Actually its the best wallet you can use, Its an open soruce wallet and all you need is your private key, meaning you can store your balance in a hard wallet or anywhere you like, and if you want to send something you can use it easily. No need for anything, just private key. Simple yet the best.

Send BAT to the wallet address in your Ethereum Wallet. In order to "see" the token in your account, you have to watch it:

Under "Contracts" click "Add token" at the bottom. Paste the Contract Address and click "ok".

Now BAT should be visible in the account you sent them to.

Thank you, it works.
If I understand well, it consume Ethers of the contract to send. So, if you want to send ICO, you will need a minimum of Ethers, right ?

I suppose, this is working for all ETH Icos ? Is there a list of all the ICOs address ? Because for example the BAT address 0x0D8775F648430679A709E98d2b0Cb6250d2887EF is not so easy to find.

Thanks again, I manage to receive & send.

Yes you need a small amount of ETH (Gas) to transfer tokens or ETH.

You should join the Slack of ICOs you're interested in. You'll get all the infos there.

Thank.
You helped me.

What was the ICO price for BAT (satoshi)


Thank you.

should be less than 1500 sat

Looks like it was the best ICO for flipping so far. I can't believe how much people earn just from being better prepared than everyone else when they participate in ICOs and I really understand the frustration a lot of people have.

well, someone spent 6.000$ gas fee in this ico to be the first..

That is an insane fee but as far as I can tell it seems to have made them a huge profit. I'm sure the people mining those high fee blocks were very happy.

Stop trying to spread lies you ass. This is quite possibly the worst distribution since bytecoin. It sold out in 30 seconds to just a few people. And there are well over a billion coins waiting to be dumped.

Anyone buying now should be smacked.

6 dollars ain't that much.

That's 6,000 $ as in Six Thousand Dollars not 6 dollars lol

Okay everyone. Time for a quick lesson in numerical syntax as a cultural sub-faculty of the English language.

6,000 is 6 thousand.
6.000 is 6.

Also, the dollar sign goes to the left ($6000) not the right.

Thanks.



Americans are the only one to use the "," for separating thousands, everyone else just use a space.... 3 000.00 Wink

Also currency format has nothing to do with english (language of words, not numerics) but rather region of the world based on the locality's currency format

No... its the same thing. The reason why everyone is speaking English in this thread is because it is the most optimal language for the purpose of communication. If everyone was speaking multiple languages then there would be no meaningful narrative and context would be thrown into the catacombs of confusion.

Just as English performs as an international standard to which participants in this thread can perceive without confusion, so too does the defacto international numerical syntax (6,000 = six thousand and 6.0 = six) which is the dominant format as a consequence of its usage derived from the equally dominant English language.

Or put in layman's terms: If you wanna speak French or Italian or use commas instead of points, and points instead of commas, then go right ahead. Just not in this thread. (or any other thread that uses English and it's associated cultural norms).

Already the price of BAT more than ICO price, many people who purchased BAT coins in their ICO phase now they more than the 4X amount in their investment. I see there is a lot of potential in BAT that's why many people have joined in the ICO.
