Picture this scenario.
You live in Mexico. (Or move to Mexico ;)
You are a crypto writer who has a Publish0x account and you are getting paid mostly on BAT
You have 100 followers on twitter and thus, every once in awhile your tweets receive donations on BAT.
You browse the internet with the Brave Browser and receive BAT here and there.
You promote the Brave Browser to your audience on your website with your affiliate link, which results in you getting some confirmed installations every month.
Finally, it is payday and you get 400 BAT. (Pretty achievable numbers for a lot of people)
Now, you go to the supermarket to get some food. Let's see how it goes.
The price of BAT at the time of writing is 3.13 Mexican Pesos.

After all, is said and done, you still have 87.14 BAT to use, which means that you get food for some days just from the sources of income that are exclusive of the BAT ecosystem. You didn't need to sell any BTC, or do any day trading, or betting on BAT at any point. And still, it worked.
How many times Google Chrome has fed you? That's right. #SwitchToBrave
Conclusion
Strangely, when doing the actual math and apply it to every item on the list, it just struck me how much more value I'm getting from the BAT ecosystem as opposed to the central bank of my own country, which makes me more bullish on the BAT ecosystem.
