Any Brave User Help Me
I was brave enough to use Brave Browser and even braver to share it with others. Well, brave is still one of the best browsers one can use it to block ads and enjoy ad free internet surfing experience. Also, it's very fast and supports a lot of chrome extensions in pc or laptop.
But this brave also gives rewards to the people who use the browser and who use it to surf the internet through ads in their notification panel and reward some BAT tokens based on Ethereum Blockchain for it.
This was the main reason which attracted me to it. I didn't know about Adblocker and other things at all. I just knew from someone's post that you can earn some Crypto while browsing so I researched it a bit and found out pretty good.
Unfavorable Withdrawal Policy
The only problem of it was that it has a different withdrawal policy which may confuse newcomers in Crypto as well as in tech. You can withdraw BAT tokens by mostly making an Uphold and Gemini account. Those are some central exchanges that are tied up to brave browser.I started using the brave browser like 6 months ago and checked that my country was also available in which I can withdraw it.
As if you don't know only a selected bunch of countries can withdraw it through an Uphold account while through Gemini only US people can.
Today, I realized my phone is working a bit slow so I thought to Factory Reset it as it clears all those hidden messy files slowing down your device and all my apps and data will be removed. So I made a backup and wrote all the seed phrases again but then I realized I have no way to keep those BAT tokens saved if I reset my device. So, I thought to withdraw the little BAT tokens I had from Uphold and this pop-up came, blowing my mood and giving me another headache.
Some months ago India was released from their list, don't know why not, also don't know even if they made a proper announcement of it. So now my funds are stuck.
Costly Solution
But I have one way which will give me a big loss but I will be able to exchange them. I can send these funds to other creators who will pay me back the value by taking some fees, lol. I don't know how much they charge. So anyone who wants to exchange the BAT tokens with me for BCH, or BNB, or if you know someone who offers this service, let me know in the comments. I only have 25 BAT tokens which are now values around 6$.

Final Thoughts
Such a letdown, one thing I hate is when you have funds and you can't move them at all. Poor Indian Brave holders will now have to go through the same process as me to get some value from their funds or they can simply hold it, but it's very risky if you delete the browser. The funds are gone.
Be updated with your investments you never know what rules and modifications the companies can make. Just like what happened with FTX exchange, but this time the news spread like wildfire and many people got out of it early. So keep your eyes and ears opened if you are a Crypto investor.

That is in the case with me too, I had a verified account (Pakistan) even tried a few time and withdrawn to my Uphold but for the last few weeks the same problem.
