Re: Are tokens a distraction from BTC? Is LN mass adoption ready? We'll know soon

For the first time ever, we'll be seeing answers to both of those questions. BAT holders have a reason to be worried, but they're by no means doomed. Gab is forking Brave to create their own browser, and while on the surface it is a Gab vs Brave war, it really is a war between BTC and ERC20 tokens.

We'll have two browsers with pretty much equal userbases - Dissenter and Brave.
One will use LN, the other will use BAT.

Which one would you prefer and why? If you use neither of these, would you elaborate why that is?

Well tokens are really a big distraction for bitcoin right from it's inception especially in 2017 when a lot of companies started to rise up all in the name of ICOs, I know that with or without tokens, we might have seen a correction in the market, but I don't think it would have lasted this long, though they are now here to stay so there is nothing we could actually do about it for now since the market is a free market.
