Is the lack of other options to send micropayments to sites the reason you do this? If there was a way to one click send micropayments to sites from a browser that did not require you to watch ads, but you send your own money, would you do it?
Honestly it’s because I’ve never had enough tokens to qualify for the minimum. So I just leave stuff in my wallet and transfer every once in a while.
I would prefer a wallet that I have control over, but I kind of ignore the BAT stuff and just use it because it’s a clean browser that’s easier for me than managing adblocker plug-ins. The tokens are just a bonus.
I just donate BAT to sites.
Brave does “request info up front” for users who want to use the wallet. Requesting it from users who won’t need it is a waste of time.
All Robinhood users perform financial transactions, very few Brave users do.
