An addendum to my statement above: This also means, implicitly, BAT is not a private token. All BAT ultimately comes from people who completed KYC. This means that ultimately, if the government wanted to hunt down where someone's BAT came from, it's really easy when you've KYC'd the entire ecosystem.
And, you might be OK with that for what it is, and might not want money laundering. Fine, but don't advertise it to me as an extension of a privacy browser. This is perhaps the least private cryptocurrency ever outside of USDC.
