This is hilarious. Blurt and Zapata remind be of the Bitcoin Gold fork. Rank opportunism after seeing the success of the previous fork for HIVE.
The fact they are only just now realising (or are still in denial) about the likelihood of Steemit centralising the stake if given the opportunity is pure clown car madness.
Remember when there was Whaleshares...and those other 2 STEEM clones (that I now forget the name of) ? Yeh, that wasn't so long ago. Where is the point of difference for these 2 chains? Other than token distribution? Pfft.
There are quite alot of differences, no downvotes which means people can have freedom of voice without being afraid of flag wars and being bullied, no stable coin like HBD/SBD for a simpler economy. Blurt will focus on a mobile app and advanced governance features to prevent large stake from controlling consensus, Zapata will focus on dominating third world countries like Nigeria with a single country focus at a time.
Both have teams of enthusiasts who are doing it for enjoyment as well as profit, where there is passion, success will follow.
Will Blurt be completely mobile, or will there be a desktop version available also?
