Blurt needs @jacobgadikian to come back to Blurt ASAP, steer this ship in the correct direction, and do what he says on his previous post you can see here titled No's...https://blurt.blog/blurt/@jacobgadikian/no-s.

We need one of our popular bloggers to interview him, personally I think @ultravioltetmag would be perfect for this. Maybe hold a round table Q and A discussion, live on blurtcast.

As for the current management led by @megadrive. This is how I see it.

@double-u major investor, held the price up, tried to grow blurt, supported the community with large up-votes. Had a difference of opinion in general politics and with how blurt should be run. @megadrive drives him and his investment off the platform.

@ctime major investor, held the price up, tried to grow blurt, supported the community with large up-votes. Had a difference of opinion in general politics and with how blurt should be run. @megadrive now attempts to drive him and his investment off the platform.

@mariuszkarowski major investor, held the price up, tried to grow blurt, supported the community with large up-votes. Had a difference of opinion in general politics and with how blurt should be run. @megadrive now attempts to drive him and his investment off the platform.

Other large investors including myself are watching this and losing all confidence in Blurt. We are powering down more millions of blurt, we all will be dropping the price and removing our curation support from the community as well. Another credit to @megadrive.

Meanwhile @megadrive gets consultation from hivewatchers, and @opedia who does curation for the large @ecosynthesizer account and @themarkymark laugh at the situation.

Frankly this whole thing is too stupid to be stupid and wreaks of corrupt influences out of Hive. Who runs a business with a track record of running off investors? Hive does! Who uses fear to control. Hive does, they do it to maintain power, absolute power. Seems like hive and blurt have way more in common than I could have imagined. The only difference is that hive uses a down-vote button and blurt uses @megadrive.

Here @megadrive is using "fear" of hijacking from the two largest supporters of the community to get rid of them, crashing the price and destroying the platform. Meanwhile, I need to thank him for keeping me safe, as my 20k investment shrinks by 75% practically overnight? and the real selling hasn't even yet begun...

I fault myself for not looking further into this person who is in charge before investing. I assumed no business man in their right mind would solve disputes by running off their top investors. I thought giving up control of the platform to larger investors was the common sense goal here, as the only way this is possible is from buying large amounts of blurt, enriching the founding members.

But this is not the goal, seems like the goal is a promise to keep Blurt functioning on life support in exchange for power, instead of fostering the price to go to the moon. Is this part of a backroom deal with hive and/or steem. "Hey, kill blurt by driving off the top investors; we don't like the competition" and there are payouts being made from Hive and/or Steemit? I don't know, but that makes more business sense to me than what is currently going on.

This post is not addressed to @megadrive at all, as he tends to ignore me anyway; I have no interest in getting into any kind of argument with him or anyone here. But this is just an address to the community that if I knew the top man in charge here was getting consultation advice from Hive Watchers I would never have invested one penny. If knew the top guy on the platform was going to chase off the largest investors over and over again, doing the complete opposite of growing blurt; I would never have invested a penny.

Without investment and a higher price, Blurt has no value. New investors will not come knowing that if they disagree with @megadrive or try to influence the platform in their own way that does not align with @megadrive, then they are at risk of having their account frozen or forced to leave with probably a big loss.

Without proper management attracting investors instead of running them off, than Blurt has no future; and I like many have wasted my time, money, and effort here. And that is life; you win some, you lose some, and life goes on.

The only way I would consider cancelling my powering down and not selling, is if @jacobgadikian..... One; has the power to change course, influencing these major investors to stay here along with their investment and contributions. Two; can guarantee the stability of the platform from a technological side. And three; can rebuild confidence in Blurt in a public video interview/live chat format.

At this point the decision to maintain power and control through driving top investors off the platform at the expense of a total price collapse has driven my confidence of this place down to the floor, where the price will likely remain for a very long time. When there is big money involved it's a business not just a "project". It's about time @megadrive starts conducting himself accordingly.

Side Note: @randula due to such disappointment in the management of the platform I am no longer motivated to support your monthly power up event with the 5,000 blurt delegation (which is now only worth about $35 anyway). My sincere apologies. Best wishes to you. I'm well aware you like many of us have nothing to do with recent events.
