Blogging On Chain, Why?

hello oblivion, is anyone out there ??

In a world run by a handful of corporations that want nothing more then for you to believe the blockchain is full of bad people doing bad things. To avoid it as it is dangerous, you’re not safe. It’s a fad, you will lose everything blah blah blah.

This reminds me of when the internet first came around. They would say the same things just long enough to seize control and indoctrinate you into their internet, their products, their services and keep power.

They have controlled our way of living in a centralized way for over 100 years. Our medicine, our school systems, what we eat, watch and even the information we consume.

This probably isn’t new information for you if you found mirror.xyz what may be new to you is blogging (if that’s what we are calling it) looks like on chain.

Everything looks like you expect from traditional blogging with H2 and H3 tags along with a few formatting options I’m sure will expand as the technology does. This is not something you want to decide later to do or not. If you were fortunate enough to be around during the last wealth transfer from the .com boom you would recall basic HTML website killing in display ads or eBay sellers making fortunes from yard sales.

The shear volume of traffic and very little options at the time made for perfect storm in content and monetization. You could put anything up and people would come. I would like to think we became a little smarter over the years and when it comes to blockchain let’s agree to kick it off a little different and keep the big box plays on their own playgrounds.

I may run a little during our chats forgive me.

Back to features or what mirror.xyz calls Blocks (very fitting). Blocks currently include:

  • bullet points

  • can come in useful when listing features for say mirror.xyz {smiles}

attach images directly to your block or pull from an external url (useful)
attach images directly to your block or pull from an external url (useful)

Block quote (clever) not unlike Wordpress builders who I am sure one day will jump into the blockchain as well.

The next few blocks inside mirror.xyz features really show the power of the blockchain and why you shouldn’t wait until tomorrow to get started. Don’t like writing that’s ok too get A.I. to do it for you. Is this from A.I. ?? You will never know.

bibbity bobbity boo …just checking.

Ok, ok back to mirro.xyz features. Now these bad boys are not something you will find on Wordpress or a shopify store. (at least not yet) 2022-12-15.

First one has been labeled Collect Entry and by their own definition “embed a collect button” simple enough let’s have a look.

No personalized options yet but they did pull in my color from setting up my profile. We can talk about that one later. First one is more let’s kick the tires take it for a spin.

After taking a break and having a look what Collect Entry does it is very cleaver allowing users of mirror.xyz to build a database of Collectibles comprised of writings just like this one. Where will they go who knows but I would hit that orange button above just in case.

No introductions required for the above. One more click won’t hurt.

At this point there is one last realllllllly cool feature that has a lot of potential like a mirror.xyz profile dedicated to sports NFTs embedded.

Like I said cooool. They are using a super simple embed pop. Select your Network plugin your address and token ID and ta da. Comes with a preview so if done incorrectly you know.

Before we go this one is the H2 block.

and H3 block.

Also it is worth noting that you can pull in most text from outside to 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤, 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓈𝒸𝓇𝒾𝓅𝓉, 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 what if we wanted to add ….

Yep, our little emojis can come too. Brilliant mirror.xyz oooooo can also add links and formatting by highlighting text to produce a fancy shmancy pop out.

Overall do I think you should drop www and make the switch to the Blockchain?

Yes, just as much as I believe you should swap your fiat currency for a real commodity like Bitcoin. At the time of writing Bitcoin is on SALE for $17,401.00 USD. Go get some.

That will do it for now until next time, if there is a next time we can chat about optimizing your profile or just pop in on mine.

If you ain’t first you’re last.

ps You can edit these blocks at a later date while I was thinking I jumped over to my profile where I found this in draft and the ability to edit. So even on the blockchain we can come back and maybe undo things we said like Bitcoin is going to 500k+

pps I will not be editing this.
