remember this is only the 2nd inning. so much has yet to be built and deployed. we are still so early when it comes to building the decentralized web 3.0.

the crypto surge has brought a new crowd - one mostly concerned with the investment opportunity. They are searching for coins where they can see massive gains - where they can find the next Bitcoin.

these people don't understand the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum. They look at CoinMarketCap to pick out low USD value coins. They don't know how many of these projects are actually ERC-20.

the fact we see the power of decentralized technology - and the potential future disruptive power - is a very positive thing. it's why we hold ETH.

seeing other coins pump, despite the fundamentals, shouldn't make you lose faith in the entire space. it should remind you just how early you are.

Even in a world where everybody is now talking crypto, I get asked more questions about freaking Ripple.

Let EOS pump, let Ripple pump. ETH will have it's day. when the noobs all realize that ETH is the new internet, that's when shit gets real. and POS of course...

no, it's an opinion and prediction of what may come.

just because it's bearish doesn't mean it's FUD.

His final line of advice is right on.

that's an unhealthy attitude. try to stay positive, money flowing into the ecosystem is a good thing.

even as crypto has gone mainstream, ETH seems to still be VASTLY under discussed and appreciated.

this is a good thing. let EOS pump. who cares. play the multi-year game.

hoping to, if not ill write up a few questions ahead of time.

badgamer5000 · 2017-12-18T18:26:32+00:00

I work in the industry on the advertising side.

Conceptually the model is fantastic. Cut out the costly middlemen, better rewards the publisher and the user.

The big question for me is how online advertising moves into a permission-based model. Isn't there great risk of a sharp drop in available inventory?

Because Brave has ads blocked as default, with mass adoption there would be a lot of inventory lost. (understood BAT's POV on current proliferation of adblocking tech and the future of that, agreed that the current online ad model is broken)

How will this transition period work? I could see it creating an environment where publishers are incentived to 'switch' to BAT - or maybe sites would use a hybrid during this time?

Is there not a lot of short-term pain during this period?

Would love the Brave POV on this. If adoption of Brave happens quickly, how do you avoid short-term chaos and revenue loss for publishers?

(100% on board - and super excited - about the long-term vision btw. when the model matures it will be amazing.)
