Let's be real - You likely had no interest in utilizing the BAT token for advertising. You wanted to make money off of it just like everyone else. The whales wanted to make money off of it - and they also invested more money than BAT token cost to make sure they were ahead of you in line.

Don't complain about the fact that people can pay higher gas prices to have their transactions validated/mined quicker - you'd be arguing against one of the core functions of the blockchain/ethereum.

If you're complaining that this group's ICO didn't create a system in which everyone who wants to invest can invest... why should BAT have done that? For what reason would they disincentivize investment? If they had capped purchases for each individual, they would have had a higher likelihood of not meeting their minimum, resulting in a refund. The Ethereum Foundation's leader, ideals, integrity, and dedication are unique. Businesses trying to get funded via an ICO are not - They want to succeed as a business, and that requires a viable product, and capital. Period.

Instead of whining about it on the internet, and calling everyone who disagrees with you a slur, the 'non-whales' of the world need to figure out a way to get to the front of the line, next time. I didn't get to invest either, but you don't see me complaining.

I'm trying to work out how I might be able to make it in to the first block.
