I suppose that’s the problem, then. Would another browser use BAT? No, because Brave already owns the majority of the Daddy-O dollars.



Brave does not own the majority of BAT. At least do a modicum of research before arguing about things on the internet.


Ok, they own a lot of BAT, and have a strong influence on how it’s spent. They created BAT. This is the premise of the parent article.


For this to be a major problem, there has to be a large group of website owners, large enough to be enticing to other browsers, who both accept tips in BAT and are reluctant to accept tips in some other, additional cryptocurrency, and Brave's owners have to be able and willing to shut other browsers of BAT tipping, no? It doesn't look likely that all those conditions will be fulfilled, even assuming that that critical mass of BAT-tip-accepting sites is coming or is already here.
