Basic Attention Token Can Now Be Used On YouTube!

Why you would want to use YouTube instead of DTube I wouldn't know. (Wink Wink)

But, if you do want to use YT, you can now use your BAT on there too.

The news has caused a brief spike in the price, but nothing too drastic and the price remains below 20 cents US.

The key new feature mentioned in the article from Coin Desk is this:

"Previously, YouTube creators could not be listed as individual publishers in Brave Payments. This change allows BAT contributions to flow directly into their wallets. The Brave browser determines the YouTube creator name from a YouTube video, no matter what site embeds it."

So you can now send your favorite YouTubers some BAT from your Brave wallet.

Testing Brave Wallet

Speaking of which, I do use Brave sometimes and while on there yesterday I decided to give the wallet a try. It looks like this:

I like the idea of a browser integrated wallet (which is why I like MetaMask) and having it built into the browser is a pretty nice touch. But I can't currently see myself making use of BAT yet.

Steem and Busy are much more fun!

Interesting road ahead for BAT I think, but what about you? Are you a BAT fan? Do you think the current price is still super duper cheap? Could Smart Media Tokens make BAT redundant?

Let me know down below!

Thanks for viewing!
