Cryptocurrencies are unregulated in the UK. Cryptocurrency profits may be subject to Capital Gains Tax. The value of investments is variable and can go down as well as up.
Basic Attention Token (BAT) is the brainchild of Brendan Eich, the creator of both Javascript and Mozilla/Firefox.
Recognising that the internet economy is built around the attention of its users, Eich designed a system where users can be paid directly for their attention. Basic Attention Token is essentially a blockchain-enabled ad exchange (built on Ethereum) that allows advertisers to pay BAT to publishers to post ads, while users are paid in BAT for giving these ads their attention.
Key to the mission is their crypto-native Brave browser, a Chrome build that blocks ads, trackers and malware and comes with in-built Ethereum wallet support (where user earnings are deposited).

We use third party banking, safekeeping and payment providers, and the failure of any of these providers could also lead to a loss of your assets. We recommend you obtain financial advice before making a decision to use your credit card to purchase cryptoassets or to invest in cryptoassets. Capital Gains Tax may be payable on profits.
