Prediction: BAT will be $1+ by mid-November - Kill Joy - Aug 4, 2017
My prediction: Basic Attention Token (BAT) will be $1+ by sometime in November, 2017.
Price as of post: $0.14
Update: Mercury set to release October 6th - https://basicattentiontoken.org/bat-mercury-pre-launch-technical-update/
I have moved my prediction back 1 month due to the delay of Mercury, which was not seen coming.
Reasons
Team (to highlight a few):
- Brendan Eich - Creator of Javascript, co-founded Mozilla & Firefox.
- Brian Bondy - Worked extensively on Mozilla, Khan Academy, and Evernote.
- Greg Badros - Previously Vice President of Engineering & Products at Facebook; Sr. Director of Engineering at Google.
- Yan Zhu - Worked extensively on Tor, Yahoo, and HTTPS Everywhere.
- Ankur Nandwani - Product Manager at Coinbase.
Web Browser Development
Basic Attention Token already has a product. The Brave browser is an already functioning web browser on which the BAT platform is beind developed on. A personal opinion, I think this is a pretty decent browser and recommend people to try it out. BAT is not going to remain solely on the Brave brower. After successful implemnation on Brave, they plan on rolling out to other browsers via default options or extensions/plugins. A chrome extension is already planned and with Brendan Eich's relationship with Mozilla & Firefox, we can assume BAT will be a feature on it in the future as well.
Over 150 publishers have joined Brave Payments already. Wikihow, Archive.org, and Smashing Magazine have given BAT approval to use their names. Other large name publishers will also be added.
Relationships
With an already experienced team, we can note that these people already having standing relationships with companies they have worked in and around. I have already talked about Brendan Eich's relationship with Mozilla & Firefox.
Greg Badros has worked in high positions with Google and Facebook, so we can assume he has connections to them and elsewhere because of those positions. Now we can assume that Facebook and Google more than likely won't work with a competing product/company, but those connections are great to have regardless.
Already noted before, Ankur Nandwani is Product Manager at Coinbase where he manages the consumer division of the company. Prior to that he co-founded BitMonet, which was the Bitcoin-based monetization platform for content publisher. A relationship with Coinbase? A very good one to have and something that I will talk about next...
Potential Partner
UPDATE: Partner was announced and it is Uphold! Honestly a better choice since Coinbase has its major downfalls. https://basicattentiontoken.org/uphold-to-support-braves-basic-attention-token-the-new-utility-token-for-blockchain-based-digital-advertising/
Continuing on from Relationships... Ankur Nandwani. Remember that Ankur Nandwani is the Product Manager for Coinbase.
BAT has already partnered with a company that will help with the conversion of BAT to fiat such as USD, EUR, GBP, etc. Detail's of that will be announced very soon. Now what company supports conversion of crypto assets to fiat, particularly USD, EUR, and GBP? Coinbase, which is one of the most popular places to buy/sell top digital assets. What company has announced they plan on supporting more crypto currencies in 2017? Coinbase, as said by founder Brian Armstrong.
We are in the middle of the 3rd quarter now and so far this year Coinbase has added support for only Litecoin, probably due to the creator of Litecoin's heavy work and involvement with Coinbase. With end of the year fast approaching, I think BAT is the most viable candidate for Coinbase's next digital currency.
The plan to integrate a system to convert BAT/Fiat is scheduled for mid-September. I'll give them some delay and some time for media to attract even more attention.
These are my reasons for my prediction that BAT will be valued at $1+ come mid-November.

Looks promising but we'll have to see if there's a demand as it has low circulation at the moment. How much do you have in it if you've invested in it?

BAT from the user-growth pool of 300 million (for BAT payments, not the ICO BAT tokens) that is untouched for 6 months will be re-distributed back into the user-growth pool.
I am currently holding 85,311 BAT and hope to make that number 100,000 soon. I tried to be unbiased in my prediction by presenting factual information.

That's more than a 7 fold increase in less than two months. I honestly doubt it but I applaud your optimism. Thank you for the share.
* - Clockism - Aug 4, 2017
That would be some good gains within a couple months, good luck to you OP. You have a decent holding in BAT.
* - Kill Joy - Aug 4, 2017
Hmm I didn't even mention already committed publishers. I'll add that in soon.

Damn, if I was into coin investing this would be a very promising coin. Is there anywhere I can easily buy coins with paypal? :p
Development team looks very well equipped with prior knowledge, and they're well known which helps
* - Vitriol - Aug 4, 2017
I'll be buying into this about 15 days. Keeping my money in ANS for now. Thanks for this amazing thread

Buy bitcoin with PayPal in the currency exchange section then put your BTC onto a exchange such as Bittrex or Poloniex and buy BAT with your BTC.

Yeah, I just created the subreddit for BAT trader talks. Got tired of seeing the posts in the official subreddit.

My prediction is it doesn't pass 30 cents a coin your hopes are way to high for this coin

Care to elaborate why so we can have a good discussion?

It's simple, whales dump their bat when it reaches a higher price then buy back, look at the chart it's been happening for months.
Whales own so much of this coin during Ico 1 eth was like 7000 bat.
100 million is already a high enough market cap this isn't unique either.

Just bought ~12k BAT. Hopefully this takes off
