I don't think the long term repercussions of a 'tax yourself, for rewards' has been thought through properly. (imo).
The only logical reason for this 'gentle coercion' is a short term rise in price when bitcoin rises (as the dollar implodes, but only temporarily before then crashing again) for cashing out, knowing full well the long term prospects are nil and maximizing profits before it happens...just my opinion.
I do not bend the knee.
Now my contract has expired, I am now free once again, to post on blurt.
A 'coercion tax' does not offer any incentive to post - and definitely not for anyone even thinking of joining - quite the opposite.
It's good to be back ! (or not, depending)...
It is to add some new energy into blurt , it wont be a huge wave
Just a fun twist , Blurt price wont pump that much from that.
hmmm....I have yet to see any tax upon peoples productivity (in the entirety of history, that I'm aware of), where it is viewed as 'adding new energy' - draining energy, yes, but adding ?... no).
... I'm also not aware that taxation of the productive (parasitical in nature), as ever being seen as 'a fun twist'... just sayin'
I agree, the price wont pump much because of this (all dependent on bitcoin, not blurt).
For the large accounts who use the platform as a financial product by buying/selling/arbitraging - it would make a considerable difference in the short term.
If this doesnt bring positivity , i will stop it and i am sure everyone else will too.
in some ways , burning tokens should be positive but not always , i agree.
oh, side question...
Would you be interested in doing some voice overs for me on something I'm working on?...We can work out some profit share/payment - if it's successful.
(french accents are always a good sell! lol)
Sure ! I would love it
Cool !
I can write the script/narratives, and then send to you - you do your voicy thing, and email the file back...
I will be a week or two as I have lots of things happening right now (mostly offline), and waiting for reply from a Ukrainian model for permission to use her images for the idea I have in mind.

(I won't be talking about this idea on blurt)
Ok perfect
It's not the burning of tokens that is the problem/issue.
It's the coercive nature of it. 'if you don't do this, then I won't give you that'...
(people naturally hate coercion and it acts, psychologically, as a disincentive to produce the very products that would attract more users...hmmm...).
I do like how Opidia is not asking creators to burn rewards , she as a curator only burns the rewards of these daily posts she makes . She still upvotes posts that do not burn . Fair and honest to me .
