Review on Basic Attention Token by Stephen Toluwani
Giving users attention with the BAT tokens
Basix Attention Token BAT is the reward platform of the Brave browser. I have been using this broswer a little over 3 months so far, the project helps to bring crypto and Blockchain to the tips of the people by allowing them use it's platform and get to earn in cryptocurrencies for their usage. Speaking of the Brave broswer, I really enjoy using it's Interface to suffice for my browsing needs. It's ability to block out ads and only show preferential ones which comes with BAT rewards is also commendable. The home screen of the browser which is usually updated time to time, helped me to discover new projects and even earning opportunities that were open. The rewarding system using BAT tokens is available not just to users of the browsers, but even publishers or owners. Take for example revain, after going through the platform using my Brave browser, I could decide to tip them and when their page is claimed on Brave, they will receive those tips I and other users made to the platform. Publishers too might decide to tip users of their website, taking revain as an example again, after their profile is claimed, they might decide to set up a method to tip users who actively are on their site for like an hour. So this is a win-win for both parties. The anonymous features the browser claims is what I don't understand but it's security of IDs can be held onto. The BAT tokens I earned only comes to me once a month which might help it's price from dumping but the utility of the BAT tokens seems to be localized on just the Brave browser. I also think that BAT should be allowed to move from being used, not just on Brave browser, but others like Chrome and the rest. This will surely go a long way in achieving adoption. It's a great project and can be recommended for use by advertising organization to help promote brands by paying small fees using BAT

- Users can tip providers, providers can create earning sessions for users. It's a win-win situation on the platform
