Learned my lesson with ZRX. Thus, I will be FOMO'ing hard into ZEC, ADA, etc and waiting for BAT to dip down. On the upside, anyone who misses this pump can just, ya know, create content and earn BAT :)

BTW Brave has saved my phone at least 33% battery and a shitton of space. Bullish on use case. Waiting this pump out tho.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (7 children)

The price was $0.27 a little more than a week ago and it's $0.29 at the time of this post. I think BAT has a lot more room to pump.

[–]ChamberofSarcasmNot Registered 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I dunno. Looking at the ZRX pump it went from $.74 to $1 in about 11 hours and then quickly sank back to .81 in the next 30 hours. The CB listing gets built into price as soon as the news is out.

And, as 0x showed, even when it's added to CB (regular CB), there's not a big price jump, mostly because the market tanked and a lot of people left. Now, if these were being listed last Nov/Dec, the jump would be hundreds of percent.

[–]MalcolmTurdballInvestor 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Seriously worst timing ever. They need to list BAT during the next bull market.

[–]ChamberofSarcasmNot Registered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’d assume the next bull market will happen when people start using this stuff. So chicken and egg.

BAT is a great token and use case but there are 1.5 billion in total supply so each small price increase leverages a large increase in market cap.

[–]lpsupercell25 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'm convinced millions of BAT will be lost to people who have no idea what they are and thus taking them out of circulation.

[–]brandnewlow 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Un-donated BAT from Brave user grants reverts to Brave custody after some period of time for exactly this reason.

[–]lpsupercell25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

user grants wont last forever

[–]lampswag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And XLM

[–]ThinCrusts 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Create content and earn BAT? Please tell me more about this wizardry.

Seriously though, been out of the loop for a while

If you have a blog, website or youtube you enable BAT payments so if people browse your site/youtube with Brave, Brave will block the ads, but pay you a % of BAT from that person's browser if they have BAT payments set up. I got about 50 free BAT just setting up my Brave browser to "spend" on sites that can receive BAT payments.

[–]krokodilmannchen🌷🌷ethcs.org 1 point2 points  (0 children)

afaik my blog (where I posted the Devcon updates) is receiving BAT too.

[–]BluexStaryGazer1 - 2 year account age. 100 - 200 comment karma. 1 point2 points  (3 children)

“at least 33% battery” Wait does BAT analyze battery usage too or are you just stating that Bc BAT blocks a lot of trackers that reduces battery drain. I’ve had BAT on my mobile and MacBook since October of last year but I don’t really follow the project to closely.

[–]Downvotes-All-MemesGDAX fan 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Brave blocks ads and trackers and stuff. Not BAT.

[–]BluexStaryGazer1 - 2 year account age. 100 - 200 comment karma. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I meant Brave browser...sorry about that. Had just woken up when I typed my response.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an Android so the background processes still run and, compared to Opera, Chrome out of the box and Firefox, if I use Brave, the battery lasts longer. I can only assume it's the lack of background crap.

[–]WeLiveInaBubblewelive.eth 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Why ZEC and ADA?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were mentioned in the "coins we are exploring" tweet from CB

ABOUT TIME

[–]waynestevens> 2 years account age. < 200 comment karma. 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A BAT time

[–]Depressedelephant66Ethereum fan 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I really need to start doing the opposite of my trades.

[–]MalcolmTurdballInvestor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is a good strategy. Whenever you feel the strongest urge to buy/sell, don't. Then you learn specific circumstances over time where you actually should, such as after a 20% rise in a day.

[–]erockskop6 - 7 years account age. 700 -1000 comment karma. 6 points7 points  (4 children)

How long until coinbase buys the brave browser?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Or google, ..so they can kill it

[–]TheTT48.0K | ⚖️ 48.1K 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Why would they kill it? Everyone hates ads and Google wouldnt mind replacing their ad business with getting lots of money from Brave users.

[–]trb0xLambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what he was referring to but I've seen Google buy things before just to kill them. Meebo for example (http://meebo.com/)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, that's also possible. I think they'd be better off creating their own version though...pre-mine a bunch

[–]danno256 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not too many projects excite me more than BAT. This coin has so much more potential than a 2x alone.

[–]iWasChris 21 points22 points  (19 children)

Looking at selling the pump and buying back in, similar plan for how ZRX performed when it got added. Coinbase on fire!

[–]drogean3🐂🐳 Hodler since $40 🐂🐳 21 points22 points  (3 children)

good observation, i would do this too if i wasnt so lazy

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (2 children)

meh, i would do this if i had a crystal ball

[–]CaaCCeoloadzeflippeningchart'18 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I would do this too, if I owned BAT and not bags of OMG

[–]MetalEther1 - 2 years account age. 200 - 1000 comment karma. 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad friend. OMGs contributions are so important to Ethereum's future scalability. Even if all you do is end up holding bags, you still were part of a revolution.

Plus, you never know with crypto and the world in general. OMG could be a sleeping dragon that just hasn't woken up yet.

[–]MalcolmTurdballInvestor 9 points10 points  (8 children)

Wow didn't even realise ZRX was added. So around 30% pump? I think BAT has more protential than ZRX though in terms of value.

[–]iWasChris 9 points10 points  (7 children)

Well BAT is up 20% right now, ZRX nearly doubled when it got added to the coinbase app ( .72 -> 1.30~) before dropping back to the .80s. Hoping to see similar pattern with BAT since they are both solid projects and decent amount of hype behind them still.

[–]JustAnotherKrn1 - 2 year account age. 100 - 200 comment karma. 1 point2 points  (6 children)

$0.45 a good target you think to sell and re-enter after the pump? Thoughts?

[–]NLDutchboyNot Registered 11 points12 points  (2 children)

I got a feeling that brave 1.0 is comming sooner then most of us think. We’ll see a real pump after that. Gonna hold mine just a little longer before taking some profits.

[–]iWasChris 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Is that the version with ad-payments? I do think that will be big when it comes...I'm not necessarily taking profit, just gonna re-enter after the inevitable coinbase craze.

[–]woppityy1 - 2 years account age. 200 - 1000 comment karma. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dec/Jan.

[–]iWasChris 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That's right around where I'm looking at placing some orders. I'll probably stagger some sells from .40 -> .50 and keep some on the side in case it goes ballistic.

[–]MalcolmTurdballInvestor 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Well so much for that

[–]iWasChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait for trading to become active, then again when it becomes available on the cb app. It'll go again.

[–]dwindlingfiatRedditor for 11 months.[S] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

That is not the /r/ethtrader way, sir!

[–]splashtonkutchercapital gainz 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Buy the pump and hodl through the dump, it will break even when eth hits ATH again, foolproof

[–]iWasChris 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's how I got into this mess in the first place! Not even looking to exit BAT though, one of the few projects I have faith in still. Just looking to increase stack.

[–]dwindlingfiatRedditor for 11 months.[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

/r/meirl

[–]iWasChris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, I've been holding this bag of various alts since I picked them up in January. Bought as high as it goes!

[–]khmokeEthereum fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

coinbase learned from the ZRX listing that they have to give time to allow transfers in before they start trading. they also won't allow immediate market orders like they did with ZRX. It's unlikely that there will be the same pattern of trading since this launch will be more orderly.

[–]AlteredCabronTesla 1 point2 points  (1 child)

moved my bags ahead of time, sell it at launch then buy lower week later.

[–]woppityy1 - 2 years account age. 200 - 1000 comment karma. 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going to be a second pump when it gets on normal coinbase.

[–]ImpetusinNot Registered 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Annd I didn’t buy any so RIP my profits.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

There's still some coins getting coinbased. Just gotta figure which one is next...

[–]ScribbleButter1 - 2 year account age. 100 - 200 comment karma. 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is the game.

[–]GooseG17Ethereum fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not over. ZRX had a second large pump after it was available on consumer Coinbase, which was about a week after Coinbase Pro.

[–]subdep52 | ⚖️ 51 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Such is life, and you're not alone amigo. I had BAT last year, and bought VEE instead. BlockV is doing well, so I'll HODL for 5 years as a hail Marry.

[–]ChamberofSarcasmNot Registered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a lot of VEE. It's done nothing but drop (with everything else). And their reddit presence is very quiet. Definitely a "look away for a few years" thing.

[–]invalidusermyass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BAT is based on eth so it might affect eth prices in a positive way?
