There were a lot of folks involved in making blurt what it is today.

@birdinc called me every day for two weeks to convince me that it must be built.
@baabeetaa did the vast majority of the building of Blurt
@thecryptodrive has handled both business and community related matters tremendously effectively.
@empato365 has handled discord and some exchange outreach
@jakemlim helped with business planning issues
@ericet learned javascript just so he could help with condenser
@franky1 has been running his own front end and other interfaces since day zero
@yehey responded to the difficulties with blurt.world by standing up geo-distributed rpc nodes.

Justin Sun made steem so untrustworthy, and Hive chose to exclude the majority of large Korean stakeholders.....

so it needed to be done.

Thank you forr using blurt!
