Does BAT fluctuate that much?

Lately I see one of two things : 1. The market is up, BAT loses value because BTC sucks all the air out of the room with n00b investors. 2. The market is down, BAT loses value because BTC valuation scares off investors.

Otherwise, Brave/BAT team can announce features & partnerships all day long and the price literally never budges.

Exactly it. An ICO was done and it is openly traded, there is going to be fluctuation whether up/down it is still an FX risk for receivers of BAT. Until we see more goods and services payable with BAT, it will a problem

u can always exchange it for USD/USDT or sth , probably easy with a script even

Would it be possible to fork Brave and change it to use US Tether, Libra or some other stable coin?

Even better: fork it, create your own cryptocurrency like BAT, make ICO and become a millionaire!

There is no reason everybody to use BAT.

Not tether. Tether is super sketchy and potentially a scam.

BAT is Brave's own token that they did an ICO for so I doubt they would move to something else.
