Can you recommend a digital wallet for my BAT cryptocurrency?

BumbleStock.com doesn’t endorse, recommend, or make any representations with respect to digital wallets. It’s advisable to always conduct your own due diligence before trusting your money to any third party or third-party technology.

 

I'm having issues with my digital wallet, can you help?

We apologize but BumbleStock can’t help troubleshoot issues with third-party wallets. You’ll need to contact the wallet provider for assistance.

 

Why does BumbleStock recommend using Brave™ Browser?

Simply put; Brave is three times faster than Chrome, has better privacy by default than Firefox, uses 35% less battery on mobile, and offers seamless in browser tipping capability.

The integrated Basic Attention Token (BAT) is extremely fast and it operates on the Ethereum Blockchain which is an open source decentralized platform that allows for transfer of value and is currently much faster than Bitcoin.

For a more in depth look at the Brave™ Browser, and why we believe it is the superior blockchain enabled browsing experience, please see:
