- Brave hijacking links and injecting their referral id.
- Discontinuing vBAT, forcing its users to KYC with either Gemini or Uphold
- Gemini and/or Uphold delisting BAT across the globe and confiscating the users’ funds, all the while Brave offers no recourse despite being the actor which placed its users in this position in the first place.
This is not a rant, it’s an enumeration of events and I genuinely wonder what number 4. is going to be.

- It was a calculated ‘mistake’. It’s not like a bug in the code slipped those referral ids in there.

- My BAT is on Gemini, because I was forced to transfer the balance of the vBAT from the browser and to an exchange proposed by Brave: https://community.brave.com/t/vbat-is-eliminated/468369 The exchange, Gemini, delisted BAT and seized my balance. I was given a window of opportunity to withdraw it, but the window of opportunity passed as the only warning I received was an email caught in the spam filter. No warning whatsoever from Brave where every day was business as usual. I’m not the only one affected by this, just go to: https://community.brave.com/t/brave-rewards-canada-gemini-no-longer-supports-bat/506599/2
