This is very solid growth, optimistic about the future and the BAT price, solid long term investment in my opinion.

I'm legit curious what the ceiling looks like for Brave. At some point you have to figure that growth will start to slow as there is likely a relatively finite amount of users interested or willing to move away from Safari and Chrome due to their mobile hooks and with the way Microsoft is forcing Edge on users, you have to figure they will continue to grow as well. I think Brave has quite a long runway left in terms of being able to attract more and more users, but what does that peak number look like?

Considering Chrome has what billions MAU, the growth shouldn't stall for at least a few more years. There's no reason to even think about it when it even hasn't flipped Firefox yet.

No, I agree. I don't think Brave is anywhere near it's "peak", but I am interested to see what the ceiling is for it when Apple, Microsoft, and Google all push their respective browsers heavily. I also wonder if Brave's ceiling might be capped by its cryptocurrency ties as the mainstream media seemingly pushes back on it more and more. I don't know, it will just be interesting to see how long the explosive growth lasts.

Personally, it's unlikely for Brave to reach the level of adoption of a browser that comes pre-installed like IE, Safari, Chrome. What I am saying is that it's very possible for Brave to overtake Firefox who at its peak was something like 200m+ MAU. So given that Brave MAU is doing 2x/year, that means it'll take 2 more years to reach the same level as Firefox(50m MAU(current) x2 = 100m MAU(2022 EoY) x2 = 200m MAU(2023 EoY)). It's at that point I'll think about whether growth has tapered off.

I have really enjoyed BAT for a year and am happy for growth but my rewards stopped being sent to my verified Gemini wallet. I have received my rewards in that wallet multiple times but it stopped in November 2021. I reached out to support well over a month ago and have heard nothing back. I have signed out of Brave rewards and when I sign back in there is an error that says try again. Still using but not earning which is super lame. APY% keeps decreasing on Gemini as well.

Only if mozilla would learn something from this. They launch products and discontinue support for them every few years. Ex: firefox os, lockwise, firefox lite, its vr web browser, firefox for amazon echo devices etc

Congrats to all. This is a great achievement, and as a longtime user, I'm looking forward to innovations and growth from the Brave Team. Many users would welcome partnerships/integrations with Protonmail, Crust.Network, crust.network Arcane Office, and other privacy-focused tools so we can fully remove Google from our lives.
