- Brave hijacking links and injecting their referral id.
- Discontinuing vBAT, forcing its users to KYC with either Gemini or Uphold
- Gemini and/or Uphold delisting BAT across the globe and confiscating the users’ funds, all the while Brave offers no recourse despite being the actor which placed its users in this position in the first place.
This is not a rant, it’s an enumeration of events and I genuinely wonder what number 4. is going to be.
One week, the email was sent on the 19 and my BAT was liquidated on the 27. Month of September. I realized this now as I was unable to connect to my wallet after a fresh install. Naturally I went to the discourse Brave chat and realized it was over based on previous comments. Checked my spam folder and there it was, the only warning that I received from Gemini. No mention from Brave though, not a beep. The BAT was still accumulating from ads though, I could see my actual balance and the new estimate grow despite me not having access to the wallet, but there was no indication of this (inability to access wallet) until the fresh install yesterday.
Eight-day window is pretty wild, but I’ll reserve my criticsms on that for Gemini.
