Why I Stopped Why I Stopped Writing for Free… and Why BULB Feels Like the Wake-Up Call Web3 Needed

1/ I've been writing online since 2018. 
Threads, articles, random thoughts… hundreds of thousands of words. 

Almost all of it? For free. 
Platforms took my time, my ideas, my audience—and gave back ads + algorithms. 

Until I found @BULB Official  
Here’s why I’m actually excited (not just hyped).

2/ Most “Web3 social” platforms feel like: 
→ Pay-to-play 
→ Bot-filled engagement farms 
→ Tokens that dump on launch 

BULB flips it completely: 
Write-to-Earn (W2E) + Read-to-Earn (R2E) = Do-to-Earn 

You get $BULB tokens for creating valuable content and for curating/reading good stuff. 
No need to shill 24/7. Quality actually wins.

3/ What makes it feel different (and sustainable): 
- Built on Solana → fast, cheap, no “gas war” anxiety when posting or tipping 
- Fixed supply tokenomics (1B $BULB total) → no endless inflation 
- BULBmojis & community curation → real humans decide what rises (not just likes from bots) 
- Share-to-Earn is live → you earn points when people visit your threads via your link 

It rewards creation + discovery. Not just screaming loudest.

4/ Real talk — I was skeptical too. 
Another “earn while you post” app? Sure. 

But then I posted my first deep-dive thread. 
People read it, tipped $BULB, left thoughtful comments. 
A week later I saw small but real rewards in wallet. 

That feeling when your work finally has direct value attached… it hits different.

5/ This isn’t just another blogging site. 
It’s quietly becoming the place where: 
- Crypto researchers drop alpha without begging for RTs 
- Writers build actual ownership over their audience 
- Readers get paid to find & amplify signal instead of noise 

If Mirror, Substack and Friend.tech had a Web3-native baby… it would look a lot like BULB in 2026.

6/ The network is still early. 
That means: 
→ Lower competition for eyes & rewards 
→ Your content has higher chance of surfacing 
→ Early users & quality creators are being disproportionately rewarded (classic on-chain pattern)

I’m not saying it’s the next $100 token tomorrow. 
I’m saying the model aligns incentives better than anything I’ve used so far.

7/ If you’re tired of: 
- Writing into the void 
- Fighting shadow-bans 
- Watching platforms sell your attention 

…try BULB for 30 days. 
Write one honest thread. Read a few good ones. See what happens.
