Find me a claim from Brave's that it's a protection racket.

Find me a claim from Brave's that it's a crypto scam. NOT just that they use crypto, but that it's a scam.

And before you start, a blanket statement of "all crypto is a scam" is not a fact. It's hyperbole and your opinion.

So do you actually have "facts"? Or did you just present opinions as facts?

Of course criminals aren't going to admit that they're criminals. But when they describe their behavior (in this case, man-in-the-middle replacing sites' ads with their own and then extorting them to participate in the crypto scheme in order to replace the revenue) anybody objective would recognize that it is, in fact, criminal.
