I just want to point out that the cryptocurrency nonsense is particularly unethical. BAT is somewhere inbetween a Ponzi scheme and illegal security offering and serves no technical purpose other than scamming the less well informed into giving Brave money. Anyone who thinks BAT is legitimate should explain why it needs to exist and why it should be worth more than $0.

Because I'd like to support websites I visit without having to view ads.

Cryptos are the most reliable way of sending money over the internet. Traditional payment processors will sometimes seek to avoid controversy.
