BAT tokens can be bought too, you can go to a crypto currency exchange, buy BAT tokens and transfer them to Poal. I mentioned advertising because I am not in a position to be able to pay for Poal, it is up to you each individual how they get their BAT. You can disable adverts in Brave, it is optional.

I wasn't aware one could purchase BAT. I guess that makes it a bit more interesting but I'd still be worried about Brave deciding to eject Poal from their BAT network. I see where this would be fast + easy on-ramp to crypto payments but if it were me I would be trying to diversify the options pretty quickly. The Left is already beating the drums about how "Alt Right" personalities are being funded with BitCoin.
