Dear Luke,
We love you.
We value you.
Your money is delicious.
We completely violated your trust, and (despite having alleged SIM protection PIN) your SIM was changed *w/o authorization*.
We will do nothing.
Here's a letter.

@TMobile can't even keep their BS straight. 🧵 What's absolutely bullshit here:

- When I spoke with customer service to restore my service, they told me there was a note on my account that someone claiming to be me, with an ID, made the SIM change in a retail location.

- Of course, they couldn't tell me which location.

Gather together @Brave & $BAT frens and fam.

Today, we'll take some time away from the daily deliverables and take a few moments to expand on the bigger picture.

What does user-first empowerment look like for the next 100M people?

LFG

Quite often, people hear about "being your own bank" but what does that look like without the eye glaze, and what makes crypto and $BAT a vehicle?

Been excellent to see early stage and maturing boxes checked:
Receive & store assets ✅
Payment rails for assets ✅
Accounting ✅

Hate to revisit this thread, but something really annoying was encountered while scratching an itch.

TLDR, @Uniswap, plz add a "privacy policy" link to the footer of your site. You all are running Google tracking stack, and running 3rd party blockchain analytics in parallel.

This exposure doesn't help your users, but the least you could do is make a Privacy Policy footer.

Takes a whole lot of steps to go from landing page to privacy policy.

People arguing against this position fail to grasp that we're *already in* the multichain era.

Why utility? Several reasons.

This thread will focus on $BAT as an example, but applies to other utility tokens as well.

LFG. 🦇💊
The aim and intention for utility with $BAT focuses distinctly on the Attention Economy.

Our mission @brave has always been to deliver a user-first web, and the degree in which monetization had become an absolute privacy dumpsterfire with diminishing returns; that was the MVP. Image

In addition to TRM Labs, their site is currently configured to have Google collect and profile off-chain data.

Defi projects are setting users up for pain by implementing the Google Tag Manager and GAnalytics...

Chrome users on defi should also avoid Chrome browser auth. 🧵 Image But I hear some of you thinking "well, I'll just use a VPN"

Here's the unfortunate reality:

Unless you're already taking defensive measures, Google knows you're using a VPN.

"but how?"

Glad you asked.

Here's an interesting potential scenario for more casual/mainstream users with $BAT ⟁, @Brave and @Gemini where our Roadmap 2.0 has interesting potential.

Much of the focus on the Roadmap 2.0 discussion has been around the DEX Aggregator + Wallet.

Here's another case. (1/n) It's no secret that @Brave is working in earnest on providing additional custodial options for Rewards users that are looking to verify Rewards wallets.

We've already integrated @Gemini for Creators; verified User Rewards wallets coming soon.

Now, w/ ⟁ $BAT Roadmap 2.0 (2/n)
