19 days to 23 - Part 5....For those about to die, we give you the finger...Oh and a business offer...

Ok, ok,....
So the title of the post isn't quite so noble sounding as the original, but hey - it's far in more in line with my sentiments than than the original one, emanating from the coliseums.

This was Luce last night in bed after I gone through the details about my new project...
I took it as a good sign....

(minus the blonde hair, riding a horse, and wearing any clothing - but you get the idea..).

Without going into any of the details right now - because that's my business -
let me give you a rough outline of the conversation I had, and then my very loosely formulated business offer....(details in post 6).

This has been me really, ever since way back in the steemit days (and then hive, and finally Blurt).

....Living in trepidation, waiting for the ax to fall from 'the powers above', for wrong 'wrong speech' , is the kind of psychological pressure used by socialist, totalitarian states - not the free markets and healthy competition.

I've always had a very uneasy feeling the back of my mind about the whole crypto blogging set up - especially after I more fully understood the mechanics involved (no matter which crypto site we're talking about).

Yes, the down voting made it worse on steem and hive -but the same dynamics of nepotism, and 'crabs in bucket mentality' still persist.

Why is that?

'Social media blogging on crypto sites - 'get paid to blog' just as long as we agree with what you're blogging about..'.
....Regards, the big stake holders'...

^^^THAT^^^ is what is wrong with the entire set up.

.....no matter which way you look at it, YOU, as a blogger, are reliant on the favors from others.

Not being paid for your work or content , not being rewarded for the effort, but being soley rewarded for who you know, who likes you, (and who doesn't).

The crypto blogging sphere dynamic is not remotely anything resembling a free market.
Why?
Because it COSTS YOU NOTHING to upvote ('pay') others for their work...
Since when does any free market business have this kind of relationship with it's customers ?
(never mind upvoting your own work in some kind of narcissistic, masturbation exercise).

Personal opinions in regards to liking or disliking others doesn't really come into running a business very often, not in the real world...

Do you shop elsewhere, just because you don't like the shop keeper ?...(If there's a viable alternative offering the same products you require - at the same prices - you might..).

....But all thing being similar- you don't really care - one way or another - about the shopkeeper.
It's the business transaction (the buying of products) that's the overriding motivation to purchase from the shop.
That goes the same for the shopkeeper as well.
It's ALL about 'doing the business'.

I do not see that ethos playing out on crypto blogging sites.
I see a lack of ethics, values, and intelligence.
I see a zero businesses minded mentality.

NOTHING IS FREE as they say - a truism if ever there was one.
They only question then, is - in terms of crypto blogging sites - what is it that you're paying for those 'free upvotes' ?
(something that I'll be discussing in great depth in the weeks to come, on my new website).

While I was making 'enough' on steem - and then Hive* (before the down-voting debacle ) my 'itch at the back of my mind', was just that - pushed to the back of mind but never entirely gone.
....(my bowl of rice is very small indeed - needing less that $15 a day to cover all my expenses - which is very good news for any future 'partners in crime' - a hungry entrepreneur who isn't ruled by money !)...

....After coming to Blurt and seeing more of the same dynamics play out, seeing more of the same shit just without the down voting, I knew it was time to change things for me personally.
The recently added complexity of the mute function was not the deciding factor, but it was final impetus I needed to get my arse out of gear..
(top tip: all extra complexity, increases the fragility !..ffs...DURR!)

Over this last couple of days I've been messing around with websites, signing up to more paid content sites , another ongoing pain in the ass - and generally organizing my shit.....( OMG !!! web 2.0!!!..lol..)

I'll still be blogging here, but not for rewards in the way it is now - It will be for an entirely different reason (post 6 y'all)..
Let's be honest - If I can't make enough to cover my expenses here, I'm pretty sure not many people are.

If blogging -and adding material to the blockchain- is all about the rising crypto token price rising for you, then it's nothing but gambling*.
No different than horse racing, but with 2000 other horses (crypto's)... Period.

In Blurts case as it stands now in it's current form - it's akin to gambling on a horse with a jockey who doesn't have fucking clue in which way to even sit on the horse (imo).
(Whether or not they know the direction of the track on which to trace is up for speculation - imo).
Good luck with winning that race...

The only difference of course, is that on Blurt, the jockeys get paid - no matter which way they sit on the horse - and the cost of placing your bet ?... is hours upon hours work creating content and sucking up to the jokey who doesn't know there arse from their elbow..

*As someone who's done quite well over the years playing poker - the different type of gambling compared to sticking money on the horses - and poker - draws the same parallels between blogging on a crypto site, and making your material independent of everyone else.

Horse betting is simple - you place you money and the rest is beyond your control - you have zero idea if the race is fixed, etc.

Poker is totally different.
You have total control over what you bet, how you bet, if you bet, if you fold, etc.

You decide your fate - not a horse ridden by a jockey who's looking at the horse's tail thinking it's a head - as in Blurts case...(imo).

I don't do gambling on the horses.
I'll play my own game, thanks very much - As I've been doing my whole life.

Would you gamble on a bet that you can't lose ?...As in - it's impossible to lose ?

You would ?
Cool, step into my office- because in post 6, (my final post of 6) - I'm gonna give you that chance of making that bet.

Whether you choose to place that the bet - or not - is entirely up to you.

The math of the bet:
Zero cost to place - with potentially big rewards over the years - one based entirely on free markets using the real supply demand dynamics. (not the crypto socialist model)...
If you win - it could be good passive income for a long time.
If you lose ?....it's costs you nothing.

You see - I'm the jockey in this particular race and no matter what size bet you place - And I'll be doing my hardest to win it....(plus, I have a habit of winning).

As I said earlier - nothing is free- and that includes your bet (even though the monetary costs are zero)...
Unlike crpyto blogging however - it won't require hundreds of hours of content creation just to receive minute returns.

It WILL involve you screen shotting and forwarding your upvotes, each month.
i.e the monthly time to claim your rewards.

As in any sound business - it takes commitment, hard word, and conscientiousness. No 'being really clever', no 'finding the angle- just graft. (and no 'hopium' or 'going to the moon' in my model, either).

It WILL NOT be a stratospheric rise...it will be slow and steady - and if I am wrong in that projection - it can only be wrong in a positive way - so that's cool!...(or ... total annihilation - with ZERO risk to you...I'm not here to 'take prisoners' - I'm winning - or I'm dead).

I would imagine that anyone looking at the effort that I, personally have put into the crypto sphere over these last 5 years, will only come to one conclusion as to my conviction...(my work rate will be considerably higher, however).

I know exactly which way to face on a horse - and with 5 years of crypto blogging under my belt - it's has given me all the experience I think I need to enter some higher quality - and higher prize money - races.

Wanna invest in a Horse? ...lol..
Post 6 will give you that chance.
....With a limited number of investors ( I think)...I'm still hammering out some of the details.

BUT IT'S ALL GOOD !

These below will definitely have first call, if they wish to avail me of the offer.
@ctime
@mmmmkkkk311 @mariuszkarowski
@frot (talk to me in chat about using some of your material - 'guest post' etc)
@j85063
@jerkoff
@northern-tracey (I'd love to have some of your posts on as a weekly special' guest write,)
@samstonehill (some of your material might 'fit' on the new site, to!..i.e...you can 'work for your rack of lamb', you hippy!...lol))
@drutter
@khrom
@arabisouri
@petrapurple
@practicalthought
@squirrelbait
@yayogerardo
@smallaxe
@owasco
@tekraze (that's only because I said I would, and I'm a man of my word - this is business. Reputation matters.).

(if I forgotten any of my regular upvoters - sorry - come and shout at me very loudly - and I'll put you on the 'VIP' list.

IF (still working shit out)....but IF ther is wider scope than how I percieve it working - ANYONE is welcome to join the ride.

And I mean ANYONE - including @megadrive @opidia , @bestkizito @imransoudagar , etc....

THIS IS NOT PERSONAL - THIS IS BUSINESS.
(see the difference, children ?)

I' M THE FUCKING JOCKEY here though.

WE ALL WIN, if we win - or we lose - and you lose nothing (I lose a lot)...that's the choice, that's the no lose bet .
It's entirely down to you if you make that choice - or not....

The question that intelligent people will be asking is ...WHY ? (I hope some will, anyways...)

WHY would I do that - make this offer?...

It's a good question - and I may touch on it post 6 - or not - I haven't really decided yet...

But it's still a good question...
