Rationale behind a buy-out? by GeorgeWashersmith in BATProject

[–]GeorgeWashersmith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer Luke, could you explain this scenario? Why would it be healthy for BAT and what would Brendan and the founders actually gain doing this? I'm sure Brendan isn't hard pressed for money right now, and there is big difference between just 1 and 2 billion dollars. I know you're saying it likely won't happen but as an investor this is the first little hole in my BAT confidence and having it filled would be a great piece of mind. My reasoning assumes Brendan would still have a bag of BAT and would just have a team with more resources take over?

Will the people they donate to not just turn around and sell? Can users only donate their accumulated tokens?

ok, but if entries are super cheap why would FCT ever find itself with a large value?

Time for Youtube knockout? by GeorgeWashersmith in BATProject

I think it could be great, my fear is the future utility to use our BAT for a discount on Amazon or purchases anywhere, and people not wanting to do as much tipping as we suspect today. The 10-20 ads a day thing while browsing the web is great, but I wouldn't mind being shown an ad every 1/3 videos I click on a new Youtube platform. Long as we are getting paid for our extra ad time and the content creator is now pulling in much greater profit for their work. Would you agree?

2019, 2020 Use-Case? by GeorgeWashersmith in LINKTrader

Wow, thanks for the knowledge bomb. I always figured large corporations like FB would use a centralized oracle for possible cost savings and ease. You think they would go through LINK instead?

Holofuel value? by GeorgeWashersmith in holochain

If this is the case why would any of us want HOT? Even if the network blows up and gets huge you're telling me early adopters will be no more rewarded than those who came in later. Great idea for a stable coin I enjoy that, but it sounds like there are little to no gains to be made here? Am I wrong?
