The integrated ethereum wallet is a red flag for me.

Why? Brave has an integrated Ethereum wallet. In the future, you won't want to use an app that doesn't have one, or at least doesn't have hooks for WalletConnect. Web3 has a fairer monetization system than the exploitative Web2 advertising model built on spying and manipulation.

What makes crypto currencies solve a problem in this area that can’t be solved using traditional currencies and payment processors?

Blockchain is a system for introducing trust, who is it you don’t feel we should trust?
