Some of you may not be aware of the the ICO a few days ago for a new cryptocurrency called BAT, which stands for Basic Attention Token. There are so many options for alt coins these days, it makes it very difficult to decide which have value and which are junk. I believe BAT is going to be huge, and I will outline a few of my reasons to buy now. I am not a financial counselor or investment advisor, so don't misconstrue this as investment advice, this is simply my opinion and why I decided to invest in BAT.
1. BAT's ICO raised 35 million dollars in 30 seconds! Wrap your brain around that one for a moment! For every second you ponder this, another million was generated in the offering.
2. One of the developers, Brendan Eich, is the creator of Javascript and co-founded both Firefox and Mozilla. That is some kinda resume, I think he may know a thing or two about creating a successful platform. He also has a star studded team of successful programmers and business minded individuals assisting in his endeavor.
3. With his newest internet browser creation, Brave, advertisers will utilize BAT to pay users for viewing their content. BAT will be the virtual currency that powers a new blockchain-based digital advertising platform, in the ERC20 (Ethereum token) standard, and BAT will also be available on other browsers. This has the potential to change the way advertising works and get the revenue in the hands of those creating content and using the platform, not the soul crushing monsters like FB or web giant Google.
4. Brave looks to limit the tracking and pop ups from web browsing, which will speed up page loading and keep more of your viewing data private. You can download the new browser at https://www.brave.com/
5. BAT is not on any of the major exchanges right now except for Bittrex. However, BAT's trading volume is in the top 12 of all crypto currencies after only 5 days! Do you think there might be some interest from investors here? As of this writing on June 6th, it is currently trading at around $0.26, just think what will happen to the price when this is made available on all the exchanges...
To me, this is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor with proven giants in the industry. Take a look for yourself and see if it is something you feel is worthwhile to add to your trading portfolio, and as always, keep Steeming!
