To be honest I never really intended to be looking at Blurt every day - I've got to many other platforms going on.
But about half a dozen of my friends from Hive have started only posting on Blurt and if I want to see their posts I have to come to Blurt.
And all my posts and comments are still being nuked on Hive. So I can't really comment, which is bloody annoying.
This is what I'm going to do to make Blurt more lighthearted. I'm not going to put much money into it - just 10k of Blurt tokens to get started and I'll power up any earnings and let it grow organically. So no token price stress.
When I comment, I'll do it like chat and leave typos.
I'm just going to upvote any posts I read and forget about earning curation rewards.
Meanwhile I'll be taking Verify Your Brain more seriously, with a big investment. That is going live on the 18th. But Blurt I'm not going to be taking as work or anything - just for fun!
I'm certain BLURT will become more important in the exposure of the DPOS BS from STEEM/HIVE. In fact, I'd go so far as to bet BLURT will eventually flip the status of the other two by the end of 2022... but that's more of a hunch and based on the fact that MANY of the oligarchs are missing from this platform and the Downvoting economics are neutralized.
Kind regards!
I agree. I joined at the beginning of the year after they recovered from the hack attack that most likely was initiated from someone at Hive. I've been patiently waiting for those from my circles to migrate over once they had enough of the toxic actions and assaults on free speech. Sadly, the value of the coin coupled with the lack of what those in my circles prefer discussing has acted as a deterrent. I've thought this whole time that if folks would just decide they will be the leader and magnet to bring others here, then it will manifest.
While I've patiently waited, I've met lots of folks from different parts of the world, each with their own unique stories on how their lives are, including the more forceful dictatorships and pain the west is currently importing into our countries.
Here in the U.S. there is a saying in the red pill world.
And, unlike the Larimer model where every time he starts a new project the old community is expected to buy in, the Blurt foundation (Jacob and Megadrive) will be and are airdropping some of the new coins to the community here based on current stake holdings. They value us as a community, not just some pool to dip into for perpetual investments to continue the association to make them wealthier at our expense. They truly see the community here as an all ships rising together structure.
And if you want to see what is in store for America, look at the commonweath countries - Aus, NZ, Canada - we are the warm up for the screwing over you guys will get - and no, having guns won't help you, it's mind control, done with stuff like with phones, tv's and poisoned water.
Per head of popn, NZ actually has nearly as many guns as America, but that is not how this war is fought.
I think we are not too bad in Uk. Recent surveys show 76 percent of ppl don’t want vaccine passports and a lot of ppl don’t want the boosters. I think we have a huge turning point here thank god. I rly think the people can change this they will only do what the ppl will accept, we have a lot of awake ppl here ... let’s see
I’ve been waiting since 2017 🤣🤣 I was actuallt excited when they left for hive thinking it would be better tbh. But everyone moved to hive. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure Justin Sun is a dick but he can’t possibly be worse than those guys.
I began my powerdown at Steem when he first bought the Steemit stake and claimed he would be transferring everything to the Tron chain. Which he never did. But his claims initially he was doing so pissed me off, as though I could be bought like that. At that time, there was no talk of Hive so I took my powerdown and invested it into Cardano at the time. I believe my buy in there was around .05 each.
When they announced Hive, I foolishly believed the abusers had learned their lesson, having Sun do to them what they had been doing to others for so long. So I sold my Cardano at .02 each and put it all into Hive. I believe in this system, believe that even if it never goes to the moon as they say, it allows me to help others right now in a way my limited fiat never can as I always struggle just to take care of my own.
Of course, they didn't learn their lesson so I quickly powered that down as well. not knowing what the hell I would do with it as I'm not really a crypto guy.
Then I found out about Blurt, researched Jacob and knew finally someone had gotten this thing right and deleted the flags that allow another with more stake to insert themselves in the gestures of another.
I do believe Sun is worse though. Pissed off he was excluded from the Hive drop. he literally forked Steem and STOLE all of the steem from the wallets of the top holders who took part in the fork he was excluded in. This of course was after he colluded with several exchanges to "borrow" others stake held on them to win his proxy war for his hostile takeover.
Had he been someone of lesser means he would be in jail awaiting prison right now as he stole millions of dollars of other peoples money. The assholes at Hive steal others claims to a future reward pool. Justin actually stole the holdings in peoples wallets.
All of them corrupt for sure, but Justin took it to a frightening level and I don't know how anyone can feel comfortable holding an asset in any wallet he has control over.
The ppl I personally saw whinge he had done that too absolutely abuse steemit even now with farming and were the main bullies here. Maybe I just didn’t see them all but I know at least a couple probably just got karma but they are still rinsing steem daily now with multiple farming accounts whilst down voting other ppl for still using steemit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Going to answer all of the comments here.
I've never seen the show black mirror. I usually watch older shows if i watch a show, but usually only movies when I have time.
They do love easing, although these last two years has felt like they tossed easing to the curb. They still try to use the wholesome family angle though when it's to their benefit, although they do love breaking up any semblance of a family more.
On the karma thing, I still wouldn't advocate theft. I do still lean towards the Theystillcallmedan guy seems decent enough, and unfortunately invested heavily in both Steem and then to set up his Threespeak site to ride atop their chain before realizing how bad it really is. I imagine it would be quite costly for him to eat those losses and destroy what he built there. His was really heartbreaking to see, more than the others when Justin stole his Steem he actually paid cash for.
I was happy tbh because I felt so restricted on steem as I came across those bullies in 2017 as I saw them in a private chat room laughing about which newbies to take to zero and finding it all hillarious. It was the most toxic thing I’ve maybe ever witnessed online. When I left the room they bullied me so steem was shit till they left. I was so excited tbh I was like yesssss steem is free now!!! Lol but then absolutely everyone moved over. I am still there but it’s hard to find the community now it was literally starting over. So now I just stay on everything till it becomes clear what’s a good direction. I know Justin’s probably a duche but at least one on one he leaves me alone and doesn’t personally censor from what I’ve seen. I mean he censored a few of the bullies but they were being pretty vile. I think basically they saw their reflection in him. desperate for power and control.
If we can just get the standard of posts up on blurt I think it will do well. No mainstream bloggers will tolerate that down voting thing long they will enjoy this one more if it can be spruced up a bit and post quality to be good.
I get the need to feel like we're building a party or something, but all along these chains were a way for me to build my OWN stuff and avoid the confusion cause by eryone tryna go in one direction...
Blockchains break the Form and the Artists, Engineers, and Builders should stay focused on what has already been gained... so we do not lose it again!
Kind regards!
The reason I'm giving VYB a crack is that there are several features in the pipeline - like NFT's, that I'm hanging out for. But I can see that Hive the first layer is going down the tubes just like Steemit did.

https://blurt.blog/ethics/@logiczombie/how-do-i-make-money-usdusdusd-on-hive
I see some people already creating NFTs on VYB … but you need to spend 1,000 POB to get whitelisted. The biggest problem with POB and VYB is that OneAlfa posts these secret lists of people you cannot upvote. If you upvote the people he does not like he will not upvote anything you do. He will also threaten every other whale to not upvote your posts or he will crash the coin by selling his stake, this is the mind set of Hive, POB, VYB, Leo… OneAlfa is the alpha dog that controls everything on Hive/ POB/Leo … there is nothing you can do about it.
iFUNd!

Yes the 1000 pob is steep - i'm one of only two people who have paid it! - but I'm the biggest holder of vyb tokens so it looks good if I start posting some art!
alphy has a lot of stake in pob, but he won't control vyb, firstly because there is no downvoting, and secondly because the only way he is going to dominate the tokens is to buy them on market, which will push the price up - great!
Oh good that you told me he also has a stake in POB I was not sure whether to leave my posts on POB but that has decided me. I'm deleting all my pobs too then.
Good to see ya on here frot
Yeah but he also makes lists telling people that if they vote fir certain people he will stop voting them.
Can you tel me more about the nft options?
They still havn’t realised all their arguIng ruined steemit and will eventually ruin hive too.
I post everywhere, if someone tells me to stop posting on their platform I post there even more. Post on Hive, Blurt, POB, VYB, Blurt, Dtube, YouTube, Blurt, instagram, Twitter, Blurt everywhere,….
Lol me too. I did that with downvotes if someone down voted me I kept posting till I made up the amount they downvoted me tbh. 🤣
It gets kind of tedious though… dealing with Downvoters on Hive. Some of those guys just get their kicks out of making everyone miserable.
That’s sort of what I did. I buy a few Blurt each day with liquid Hive or POB.
I sold some Blurt to buy Bitcoin on the dips and then bought a car , (VWGolf) but I magically grew my 6,000 Blurt into 1 Million. From just having fun. I’m on VYB too with about 20,000 VYB so I will see how that grows. I will get my kids to make a VYB car on Xbox and we will race them.
My kid was so stoked about buying a car with Blurt he built one on Xbox Live….
Did you really buy that car from Blurt earnings? - that is impressive!
Yes. I sold some blurt to buy Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Shiba … I buy and sell Blurt all day long on Hive-Engine and Ionomy. My son turned 16 and we needed a second car and he wanted to buy an old Project Car and I suggested we buy a used VW Golf. We found one and paid with Blurt, Bitcoin and Dogecoin. It was good timing selling Bitcoin, Dogecoin near ATH though.
I’m trying to trade some blurt cause it jumps a lot in price but I’m defo a learning day trader!
Well I only sell a little blurt on ionomy. I want to hodl 99% in Blurt Power to maximize my curation rewards
I want to buy a bit actually but it’s high right now
I just buy a little bit every single day on Hive-Engine.com … it has been a very good strategy so far. I hope to get to 10 Million Blurt this way. When Blurt reaches $1 maybe I will sell a little …
By the way you should also all join hi you get a dollar a day for answering a q that takes about 2 seconds and then more of you invite more people. There’s no catch it’s one more place

reblurt!
And about another dozen are posting on both Blurt and Hive.
To be honest, the Hive-cabal are going so hard out to drive me off the platform, if it wasn't for what I see as the potential in VYB, I would just quit, the vibe is horrible...
Never quit Hive, POB, VYB …. You can buy a ton of Blurt and Bitcoin and Ethereum with Hive.
I hated logging in to hive in the end, my shepz1 account is now history to me and my deliberator account the same.
I feel same I rly have to just log in post look on the feed for a few seconds, like a few things and leave. I’ve tried a few times to rly put time and effort in but just end up feeling crap from the drama and toxicity.
Same here but 1 more power down this Sunday and hive is ancient history for me.
I agree I can only log on for a few minutes a day tbh if ever I put a lot of time in to it I end up feeling horrible and drained energetically from all the toxic behaviours. Even if it’s not at me seeing others go through it is as bad. I saw these bullies doing this since 2017 in a private chat room on steem chat they laugh about it and always have. They love just randomly choosing people and downvotint them and taking their rep to zero. Whilst that circle have the chance to downvote they will always make any platform they are on a toxic nightmare.
About bloody time.
Welcome to blurt buddy. Hive has quite alot of issues and most time I wish it wasnt this toxic. Glad to have you here. I hope you have a great time. Season greetings.
I love your art by the way so talented!
Thank you so much. Yours are amazibg as well.
And same to you - Merry Xmas
At some point I ended up thinking "hang on, they actively want me off the platform, why is that?"
And the answer - so they can control every aspect of the content and the rewards - doesn't leave me with much hope for the future of Hive...
Stay on Hive, POB, VYB and just keep posting stuff and earning Hive, POB, VYB etc…. And post on Blurt too. Why not post everywhere ? Who is telling you to post on one place ? Screw them.
I'm on Bastyon (encrypted chat), Gab (most entertaining content), Facebook (for tactical reasons), and my own Wordpress blog too.
I'm planning to post my blog posts on the new VYB front end, but forget about looking at Hive, because I can't be arsed with constantly being told to fuck off.
And I might as well start copying them to Blurt as well
I'm @frankbacon on Matrix Element!
Won't go near Discord!
And Imma POST Man!
Post everywhere.
I signed up to Bastyon too… https://bastyon.com/offgridlife

I love the "resources" on this Team! Jacob is a Genius! TRULY!
Welcome to #blurt dude! :)
Joined vyb and very much looking forward to both growing
I seem to be getting all my posts zeroed out on VYBrainium… must be some kind of secret method of downvoting ??? So weird.
I looked and can see some votes on your posts ?
Yeah but All the posts are being zeroed out on Day 2. Yours too…
Did VYBrainium bring back some kind of the Downvote system already ? No downvotes but it Looks like everything is getting zeroed out … do you know what’s going on ???
That didn’t take long…. Oh well.
Sorry - I missed this - all fixed now hopefully!
