"@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.
