I understand your stance. I've personally never purchased any Blurt/hive/steem etc. I sold the steem I earned and bought blurt. I think I also traded some other crypto that was gifted to me for some blurt. That's the nice thing about these platforms, you don't have to spend money to earn the crypto they offer, all you have to do is participate. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Things are always better with more individuals offering their insight.
