No, there is still only the possibility to earn BAT tokens which you can withdraw when you are fine with doing a KYC and then you can exchange those BAT into Bitcoin if you will. But on the one hand you need to do a KYC for little money and on the other hand the earnings have decreased over the last months. So it is not really worth it to participate on the program just to make money. However, you can make some side earnings to spend them for content creators.

wait . you can now earn free sats/btc on brave ? i thought its the bat token that they are giving away as a reward but bat token can still be converted into a sats/btc once we cashed them out outside the brave platform and about the ads , we dont need to stare them if that is our goal to earn but you can move away from your device because the ads will still play automatically .

i watch ads till the end if im interested but if i can do that for other browsers that doesnt reward me why not do it inside this browser .

Unfortunately, Brave has lost its trust a lot over the past few months. I've been with Brave from the start, even when the browser was beta. I've used it as my main browser on desktop and iPhone for over a year. But the decisions and the broken promises of what can be done with the earned BATs have led me to distance myself from the browser. I haven't used it at all since the summer. And it seems like Brave isn't learning from past mistakes. It's a shame it's a good product.

Price of the Bat token is down 9.51% in the last 7 days.  It might have something to do with Brave CEO Brendan Eich and his controversial comments.  This is not how head of a company should be acting if he wants people to trust in his products.

It sounds interesting，just viewing ads and you can get the BAT token，but when I did the experiment，disappointed is the only i want to say，the time spent is not in direct proportion to the benefit，so i unloaded Brave Browser. Anyway，this is a nice try.

Yes.
But just so you know, AFAIK this feature from Brave is no longer. If I'm wrong, it is their other feature that allows to earn.

Sure? Brave's wordwide market share is less than 1% while Firefox has around 17-20% and Chrome around 70-75% (in some countries up to 90%). It is still a long way to go for Brave to be in a row with Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

I would say so yes there are enough people willing to watch computer ads for satoshis.    Just look at how many people use crypto faucets.

It is a similar concept and its a working one.  You just need to stare at your screen and you will earn free bitcoin.  It is not difficult and if you are already viewing your screen you can earn easy money too.

People really ready to spend their time to watch ads for a few sats?

Brave is now introducing 'Brave Today', their latest news reader into their Brave Browser. 

Here is the article from the official Brave blog- https://brave.com/announcing-brave-today/

I have read that Brave browser number of users in the past year increased 130%.  It is my favorite mobile browser by a while.

With 20m current users and another 1m million content creators Brave will soon be as popular as chrome/mozilla.

Hmm. I just got verified and I don’t have any BAT tokens. are they gonna take some fee from me if I try to actually use the account? 


I’ve been using Brave (again) for a month or so and just decided to look at the ad and cryptocoin parts. I hadn’t looked at it or activated it ‘till yesterday. Before trying to earn anything I thought I’d check out what it’s like to actually try and get money out (to fiat currency, such as USD) ... Lotta people don’t think about that until far too late and perhaps realize, for example, that the sale price and buy price are not the same and they’ve been looking at mirages the whole time.  So I created a wallet (super low security online one) and began the process to create an account and get verified with uphold. After verifying my email address I hit some sort of glitch (I can’t remember what, didn’t matter) and dropped it. Today I got an uphold email reminding me to continue and verify my email address. So I verified/re-verified it and went to do the verification process and was pretty much instantly verified.  Just did so in-browser on iOS; didn’t need to install the Uphold app. 

META
There are so many levels of trust (and/or expert analysis and understanding) involved in relying on cryptocoins that I’ve never felt pulled to take a plunge. In hindsight, that cost me millions ‘cause I could’ve set up a bitcoin miner back when it made sense to set up a regular PC as a bitcoin miner; miners weren’t even using FPGAs/GPUs/DSPs let alone ASICs!  Woe!  I read a bunch and downloaded the source code but never bothered to set up the operation! 
I’m curious to see the date when I set up this account appear when I hit send... I don’t remember.  Probably years after that but still I expect it was when bitcoin was worth practically nothing in comparison to where it’s at.  I’m sure…  Here goes!
Tammy first experience was trying to open an account with Mark Twain bank after reading the Chaum papers.  right about the time the operation was shut down by G-men.

The Brave Rewards program is not very profitable, not really worth it. and I was disappointed with the amount paid because it was far from expectations.

I'm a long time brave user. I guess it's been almost a year, maybe? I don't remember. I'm sorry if it's wrong.
I don't care about the bat token. I don't even know the function aside from the brave shield logo, the brave team is not very transparent, in my opinion, but all this time, I used their product.

Brave has been doing many strange things lately. This is another one. The project was started to do many things differently. No spying, no hurdle to earn crypto, etc. All this is now gradually being put right. I do not understand the strategy of Brave behind it anymore. I used the browser as main browser on the desktop and mobile. I do not do that anymore.

I read that and I stopped reading those ads since I have to verify my wallet, beside the number of ads that is being offered to me is only 2 to 5 daily not something that you can earn a lot I prefer to earn BAT through publish0x it's much easier because you just rate articles and you can earn more if you are a good writer and you create a lot of articles in their platform.

Brave has made a partnership with bitcoin.com so now Brave users can purchase the crypto through the Browser.

It makes me wonder why users cannot purchase Bitcoin and maybe there will be other coins offered with BCH.

If you are old brave users well thats worth it. But if you are new that want to earn from ads you need to first buy the tokens to be able to verify the wallet .you need a minimum 25 bat tokens to verify it and to recieve rewards for having an ads.
No idea why they make this but its not good for those new to this program and have difficulty to understand block chain .

Every time I disable the Crypto.com Exchange widget on the start site and then update the browser, the widget is back. Does anyone know a way to turn it off permanently?
