Hey, altcoins' enthusiasts! Brave is a decent browser to block ads, remain anonymous and to make a little extra income by viewing ads which appear randomly during your internet browsing session. Do you use this feature? Is it being profitable for you? What is your feedback?

I think I'm using it for 2 years, or maybe almost 3 years. So far I haven't withdrawn or swaped any BATs from my wallet. Almost extra 25$ made through it, potentially reaching a higher sum of money if BAT does well on the next bull season.

Would you hold or sell? What is your take on BAT?

Honestly I'd probably just remove it onto a cold wallet and let it sit. Who knows maybe next bull run it goes for a little bit. It was essentially free money so why not gamble and keep it in BAT. I have never checked out the browser probably time I take a look.

I also installed it a few months ago, but I didn't keep it. It's a decent browser, but Chrome is the way to go for me. It offers synchronizations and password integrations that I simply cannot give up for a few pennies. Also, I was barely receiving any advertisements; my location could potentially be at fault, thus, I wasn't earning anything worthwhile to make me switch browsers. As you've also mentioned, you've only earned $25 in over two years; it's better than nothing, but still, it's personally not worth it. On top of that, in order to withdraw, you need an Uphold or Gemini account, both of which require you to go through KYC, which I'm not willing to complete.

Was also thinking the same when I tried installing it years ago. And it asked me to submit KYC document when I haven't even earned something yet. I don't think it will make me anonymous because of the KYC they ask for. I'm not sure if it was the exchange or the Brave itself that ask KYC but definitely, they asked for it. I uninstalled it.

But having 82,000 BAT already ready to sell when the price touches ATH, I might actually submit documents including the DNA Cheesy

That's exactly my point. Why should I install a so-called anonymous browser only to request my information later on? I don't see the point, it contradicts the concept of cryptocurrencies while the earning capabilities are extremely minor that it seems like a waste of time to me. The OP is likely to earn some money during an upcoming bull run but till then, the $25 are a petty amount to me in order to switch from Chrome. My convenience is much more important.

Is it really worth it? Watching ads for like one-hundredth of a dollar or even less? I don't really think so. I've never used the browser personally, so I'm not sure about its usage and how it works and everything, but only for the ads and tokens, I wouldn't like to waste my time.

It makes no sense to have an ad blocker and then also watch ads. Ads are annoying, and getting paid portions of cents for watching them won't really change much. But, let's assume if I had any, just like you, I would obviously not sell them considering they are not really worth much at the moment.

$25 for 2 years not really worth it so I don't think its profitable and don't expect it to be profitable in bull season as well because its given freely to every brave users so the circulation is high which will eventual decrease the demand and means the price remains same or not profitable comparing with the inflation rate.

Brave is a decent browser to ~ remain anonymous

Brave does not make you anonymous at all. A browser is prone to browser fingerprinting, even though brave has fingerprinting minimization. Another feature that Brave has, is private browsing using the Tor network, but I wouldn't recommend that. An inherent risk of using a browser is a trackable fingerprint, also, Tor Browser has specific guidelines to incorporate Tor with a Browser, so I would not recommend Brave to be used with Tor.

The browser maker Brave, which launched around protecting online privacy, was called out this weekend when users noticed that typing in the name of the leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, resulted in an auto-complete that ended in a referral link.

That issue is also worth taking note of, along with many others one. I would be wary of a browser that has ever done such behaviour.

I have BAT earning too on my mobile version Brave browser but I don’t have any idea how to withdraw it because it ask me before to do KYC in able to withdraw that’s why I decided to just leave it on my wallet and occasionally donating it on website to help other people that using brave browser.

That earnings is already good considering that you are just using the browser regularly and just clicking random ads provided by brave browser. I have this kind of extension to on my chrome which gives me payment per ads click and view that randomly appear on a website.

My take is that you have used it for almost 3 years and got $24. And that's not by using the browser (i am using the browser too), but watching the ads. Is it really worth your time? Time is one of the few things in life that you can't get back so it's one of the most valuable things you got. For someone like me who has trouble managing it, i sure as hell won't be giving i a way for cheap as that.

Bat might rise in the bull market but so can literally every died token out there. I seriously haven't seen any good reason for BAT to exist, nor i see any value in it to anyone.
People clicking the ads are poor and they aren't the target audience of marketers so everyone gets scammed here.

Different from viewing ads at PTC and faucets websites, here we don't have to watch the ads for 5-30 seconds. You just have to click to open it once the notification appears on the right bottom side of your screen, and you are already credited with BAT for the upcoming payment which is done every month.

So, it doesn't consume any time at all. It's simply extra income, although it's low. Maybe for tier 1 countries, where the target audience is concentrated, there are more ads available and the payrates are better. It would be nice to hear a feedback from someone living in such countries who also uses Brave.

(Most ads displaying here are about NEXO lending platform. While I'm writing this post, a NEXO ad notification has just appeared Cheesy

).

I used Brave Browser as a my default browser for the long time, i think it’s seems Chorme Browser, it’s not a bad. But i earned very low coins, even not more than transaction fees lol, so i can't sell it. If need to views their ads it’s annoying to me otherwise it’s good, fastest browser. I don’t hope to big thing in the next bull run, now it’s up to you hold or sell.

If I have the BAT from the Brave browser, I will move it to another wallet and will not sell it if the price has not reached the peak price. But I don't use Brave browser but I have a BAT which I bought from the exchange and still holding it till now. I don't have high expectations for BAT but I see the price of this BAT can increase, especially if there is more support than now. In the meantime, you can keep using the Brave browser to generate even more BAT but we don't know when the price will increase.

Someone(https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5440960) is buying that and I've tried to sell the few that I've got and just like you, I've never sold any of it from my browser. But mine's a little too low compared to you.
Since mine isn't that much, I'll hold it. And what's much better is that the browser itself is truly helpful for keeping my browsing out from the ads on the web.

You own the pen

Look at that, if only they can give that amount for like 3 to 4 months, I'm sure others will consider using it and they will not gonna ignore that offer. This browser has been out there for so long offering a few rewards for using their browser but the problem is, they are not really good as the other available browsers out there and to get paid you need to view some ads which are not really that worth it because they pay is extremely low. People have a lot of things to do and they get some payment well for that and they won't gonna be affected by just some low amount of rewards like those that you can only get for 2 to 3 years of using that browser.

A few years ago, there were news that they added their own referral links to Binance search results in the Brave browser. Despite this minor scandal, I have continued to use them and have accumulated BAT. I don't plan to spend them for now and as a user I will continue to support them as much as I can. Also, I've only managed to accumulate 40 BAT so far. I think this topic can turn into a small-scale contest. I'm already wondering how much BAT our other friends have accumulated. :)

I think that i am using the brave browser now for around the amount of time as you. So far i have 94 Bat collected from displayed ads within the browser. If i remember correctly, then the price for 1 BAT was at around 1 Dollar during the last bullrun so then my earnigs would be almost 100$ withing two years from just using a browser that i would need to use anyway. So i would say that is definitely not to bad.
I have noticed though that since january of this year or so i am not receiving rewards anymore because they have changed something and now you have to connect your account in order to continue to earn BAT by watching ads.
The problem for me is that in my country both account providers that Brave is offering do not work in my country (Germany). I still use the browser because it works like a charm.

FOCUS

I personally don't care about the BAT I earned on using brave browser. I countlessly reset my devices and don't really care about the earning I got from it, I've been using it for years and I do wonder how much should I potentially earned from it. I just really enjoyed brave browser as my main browser and rarely switch into other browser given that those don't have a built in ad blocker.

If I were in your position, I would personally withdraw the BAT earning and store it in a wallet and leave it till next bull market arrives. There project has been running for months now and I believe it's a good project, That's why I think it still has potential to it.
