Blurt users can be divided into 8 groups based on whether or not they earn, buy, and sell BLURT tokens. This is a useful exercise because each of these 3 actions has a general effect on the blockchain and token price.
"Earn" (draw BLURT from the reward pool with posts, comments, and/or curation) - mixed effect
"Buy" (convert other cryptos or fiat $ to BLURT) - positive effect
"Sell" (convert BLURT to other cryptos or fiat $) - negative effect
Do you...

After finding which type you are, did you spot yourself in the examples listed? NOTE: You can be more than 1 of the examples within a type.
Future posts will analyze the significance of these 8 types, as well as their effect on the blockchain and token price. Feel free to suggest changes and additions to the examples. Thank you, and let's grow Blurt!
