What do you like about crypto?

in blurt •  2 years ago 

I am just dipping my toes in here and in crypto in general. I would say I am a beginner and feel mighty proud that I figured out ionomy. It is heartening to see people coming and loading up.

This coin does feel cheap and for that I have orders in to buy more.

Although I am not so expert in ionomy to know for sure if they are in 😀

I haven't figured out or even used ionomy, so in that way you're less a beginner than me!
It does feel cheap, compared to other cryptos like HIVE. This blockchain has a lot to offer and mostly just suffers from lack of exposure (there's little incentive to advertise it on Steem or Hive!) If it continues to gain adoption, the price should rise toward or past HIVE's.
Ghost Ship was also a Magic card back in the day, I liked that one.

It was a Magic card! name stuck with me.

What do you use to buy Blurt? Ionomy is quite bad to use. I would be pleased not to have to

Hahah, nice.
Oh, I just use the default method available on Hive... log in to hive-engine.com and Deposit HIVE, use it to buy BLURT, and Withdraw it. I guess they take 0.75% on the way in, and the way out, but otherwise no fees.
I'm going to do a tutorial soon, on how I move BLURT back out to other cryptos, and then to groceries at my local shop... without bank accounts or smart devices... since I do not have bank accounts or smart devices : )

I will keep a lookout for this. I haven't used hive-engine either. I will visit and see if it looks easier to use. Thanks mate!

Oh, haven't you?
If you've used Hive at all in the past couple years, you've got some tokens waiting for you in hive-engine. So yeah, just log in using your posting key and check it out. If you do any trades/transfers it will ask for your active key. Been pretty reliable for me, as far as I know quite a lot of Hive members also use it. Just the little fee for coming and going. Who knows, maybe you have a couple hundred bucks in various tokens accumulated there? Depends on your level of participation on Hive, what communities you comment in, etc.

I don't even know what Hive is! I haven't looked too much into all these social media places. I checked the hive-engine page last night. It wanted me to sign up. The less places I sign up to the better in my book.

But that might be paranoia from years of weed 😊

Haha, maybe, or maybe it's just annoyance at having to remember/write down so many passwords keys, secret codes, backup phrases, PINs, etc...
I tend to be a minimalist, myself.
And paranoid.
But anyway, that answers the question of any tokens on hive-engine... if you haven't been using Hive there aren't any. In fact, as you noticed, you don't have an account there. It may only be for Hive users, I'm not sure.
Hive and Blurt are copies of the Steem blockchain. Hive has downvotes and a "reputation score" to keep down spam, instead of a fee to make posts and comments. There are pros and cons. I'm here on Blurt after a long time on Steem and then Hive, because of censorship on Hive - people are using large investments plus the downvote button to silence smaller voices, like me. It can't happen on Blurt. Otherwise, much is the same about the blockchains, aside from human involvement. Not everybody on Hive has heard of Blurt.
Ghost Ship was reprinted recently. They reprinted a LOT of old stuff I never thought they would. I prefer the original, I think it was from Legends (1994).
