Life is Shakin out to be pretty darn good. Got on the last flight from Danang Vietnam to Thailand back in March of 2020. Rode out most of the craziness of 2021 in Koh Phangan. My girlfriend is @junglegirl we've been together for almost two years now. I motorbiked this year all over the south and the islands all the way up to Chiang Mai in a 6 month chill adventure, and will be heading east soon to Koh Chang and all over Ilsan. So I've been laying low in Thailand since the world began to suck real bad.

Have you been in Guatamala this whole time? I'm familiar with San Pedro and lake Atitlan. Great spot to call home for a while.

As for blurt, there is a mobile ap that is coming out soon, check my blog, I reblurted the guys post working on it. Also there are new curation accounts coming online like @my-angel, and a bunch of other stuff. Check @tekraze's latest post too for more on that (reblurted that too)

The main difference between Blurt and Hive is that large accounts can't destroy smaller accounts via the down-vote button. They can't destroy free speech, destroy property rights, and destroy 5 years of blogging, networking, and making friends via the will of a small wealthy group of down-voters like they did to me and so many others.

Not only did they destroy my account for basically being too successful and a drain on the reward pool, they did the same to @gringalicios, resulting in her powerdown and sale of 250,000 hive! at the time hive was above a dollar. They didn't care, even if she sold a quarter million dollars worth of market cap.

They came after @drutter and others for speaking out against covid, masks, you name it. They've been censoring/down-voting, or best case simply not up-voting many who's opinions are not inline with CNN!.....meanwhile they pump their fellow satanic accounts like @meesterboom and @nonamesleftouse...you can just see here. This guy posts satanic art and poems about homicide and torture.

Meanwhile they downvoted off the platform @projecthope who's whole thing was about helping people from poor countries...this is how that went down.

and look at the names who support this....

Then I've got evidence of the whole #pizza thing is being used in very suspicious ways by "favored" accounts...

that's just a small sample of the ongoing there. In fact I was so dismayed with what I noticed going on there and how no matter what I couldn't not get off their down-vote list that I hired a friend/private investigator to spend time looking into all this and frankly the corruption and origins of steemit/hive is horrifying. Here is what some like @frot consider the best most accurate post ever written on what's going on with hive.

Here is another piece that answers your direct question, what's the main difference between hive and Blurt....

https://blurt.blog/blurt/@world-travel-pro/ten-reasons-it-s-better-on-blurt

Notice how the witnesses don't budge year over year on hive or steemit, but I'm able to break into top 10 on Blurt in less than 2 weeks of running a witness. Maybe that is the biggest difference. Blurt is actually for the people by the people, where Hive is locked into some corrupt shit born out of Virginia next to DC...by one guy who now worth 100s of millions and prefers to take press photos like this....

and

While Ned had Wall Street connections pump their project sending both of them into the filthy rich stratosphere, while the common user was trapped in a 13 week power down which is where much of the wealth was extracted as they exited stage left and finally sold entirely to Justin Sun.

In final, remember that account @cryptopie. The dialysis patient out of the Philippines who lives a life in a broken body, only able to fend for himself via earnings from his blog. Well he had an operation scheduled and he needed to earn from his blog on Hive to pay for it. Long story short, they downvoted him off the platform too! Seemingly for sport! But luckily he had just enough saved where he could get his lifesaving operation. He is now on Blurt too. But can you believe it, cut the funding to a life saving operation while making fun of him! That's about as close to digital homicide as it gets, he did absolutely nothing wrong, just used their platform as advertised. Totally sick people running things there. I want nothing to do with the place.

So yeah. Hive may have the money.....but so does George Soros, the pedesta brothers, Putin, Xi, Biden....you name the POS, and in Hive's fiefdom the downvote button is their enforcement arm. This is why so much of hive is loaded with head down, a-political bloggers, like I was...boring as F. Nobody wants to get on the radar of the down voters over there.

While on Blurt you can find all sorts of stuff, alt media you name it. If Hive was a place it would be like a city in China, full control, zero decentralization, with a whip called the downvote button. While Blurt is more like Texas, where your freedom of speech and your property rights are protected and you have no worry about some turd putting his boot on your neck via the downvote button essentially robbing you and the ones who spent their vote on you.

Blurt also relieves the huge issue of self censorship over there. I would never speak up there like I do here in fear of down-vote. Forget about it. People on Blurt really speak their minds. There is only one safe opinion on Hive, and that would be the mainstream opinion, tells you who is running that place frankly.

All that written just cause I like you! Was a lot of fun getting to know you in Bangkok Steemfest, and returning those keys to the lady down in the islands for you ;)

Hope you are well, and you choose to give Blurt a chance. It's very much for us by us....so volume is low, price is low, but potential is extremely high.

Oh....and thanks for witness vote ;)
