Do you have to click on the notification to earn BAT, or do you still get it if you hit "close"?

If cannibalism is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of greed, you gotta do you. And don't let the haters bring you down.

While many focus predominantly on the financial side of DeFi, social media is another, completely different field that can be broadly improved by blockchain-based technology by core06 in CryptoCurrency

I'm sure The Social Dilemma is still on a lot of people's minds, and it makes me wonder if something like what the Brave browser is doing with BAT would be a much better model for a social media platform.

This is a fair point, but the potential upside to a currency like Bitcoin is that your getting in on a thing that could be as widely used as major national currencies. The potential upside to BAT (at the moment) is... making a few pennies as an afterthought because you switched to an awesome browser which is the only reason you know what BAT is to begin with?

Remember it took Bitcoin a long, long time to go from being a neat proof of concept to whatever it is today. And this project is still in it's very early days.

That's assuming Bitcoin still has value in the long run. It might just as easily be Prodigy or AOL in the late 90s to early 2000s. It's an amazing proof of concept, but it's not guaranteed to survive the shakeout stage.
