Last year the Brave browser launched with a built-in BTC wallet. It promised that if you opted-in to displaying "Brave Advertisements" you would get a cut of the revenue made from the ads sent to your BTC wallet. The only thing the Brave developers had to put in place was the infrastructure for their ad platform, the rest of the browser was ready.
Then one day Brave updated and took out the BTC wallet. They simultaneously announced that instead of BTC they would be now using a new cryptocurrency of their design called BAT in place of BTC.
Over the last few months they have been working on BAT and had their ICO. Finally they are nearing ready to enable a BAT wallet in the browser.
I have a question: why do this? Why use BAT over BTC?
The only reason I can think of is money raising from a new ICO, but given that there is no reason that I can see, nor that I can find a statement about, that explains why BAT is an advantage over BTC (or an equivalent like LTC). If there's no compelling reason to use BAT then it's going to tank.

I think the answer is in the roadmap if you ctrl f wallet.. I can't remember exactly if this is true but I think the whole system runs on Bat..Advertisers pay in bat, publishers get bat, you get bat.
