Also, BAT being a cryptocurrency already turns off people who aren't fan of crypto.

BAT was what kept me from trying Brave for a very long time, but I eventually tried it nonetheless (I'm back on Firefox now). In fairness to Brave, you can disable the BAT stuff and never have to see it.

The BAT stuff is entirely opt-in, not opt-out.

In terms of using BAT, yes. But at least when I started using Brave, you had to change things to get rid of the cryptocurrency-related UI elements. That's what I was referring to.
