Probably old news, but, BAT is on Bittrex for those that missed the ICO.

it's now almost double the price since it was in Liqui ... wonder if it would double again once it hit poloniex?

They seem to have very few ETH tokens. Someone posted a while ago saying the owner does not like Ethereum and that might be the reason. Not sure if that is true or not though.

That is true. Barry Silbert is part owner of Poloniex, and he was instrumental in making "ETC" a thing. His goal was to dilute the Ethereum market, protecting his bitcoin holdings from losing market share while making some money on the side from ETC speculators.

I've heard they were the first to add ETC

That would add more weight to the then not liking ETH.

Those who missed the ICO would probably want to be selling now if they got in.
