"@birdinc, why not just focus on Blurt and getting that shit-token listed on exchanges? If Blurt is not listed on Binance/Huobi/Bittrex by the end of this year, can we use that as evidence that you also would have likely failed to get Hive listed were it up to you alone? If you get Blurt listed on Binance/Huobi/Bittrex I will go ahead and give you 1,000 HIVE for that accomplishment (should be worth about $50k by then I suspect)."
Exchanges don't work like this, the story and the community is the most important thing and given my experience of talking to over 200 exchanges, many of which I have met in person,I knew exactly who to talk to and what to say.
Blurt will likely not have the forward momentum that Hive had and it will be a much different story with exchanges. Hive had the news cycle and everyone in the industry was watching Hive.
Im glad someone gets it.
@justineh did good work on CoinDesk and you could say she is responsible for Hive in the news cycle to a small extent.
She knew who to talk to and gave them the story, which is what I did, in part, with exchanges.
I wanted to partner with Justine and continue to help Hive but my style of moving fast and sharing all comms with the Slack didn't work with so many moving parts and so many people.
Sure.
Well im responsible for the story being picked up by 2 of the 5 biggest crypto youtubers before Coindesk or Telegraph picked it up, and my tweets were quoted by a number of articles as well. All that without being inside slack or being in "whale favor".
Before this post (if it wasnt for justines 30k id prolly never mention it) i told that to the guys in my Discord group and they roasted me over it. You do these things not to get payed, you do it because you care about HIVE, youre doing the right thing and because your stake depends on it.
And then I just got buried in the chain politics and kicked out.
Interestingly, the politics you got buried in were entirely off-chain.
