2000 blitz is more impressive than 2000 rapid.

I think being good in rapid is better than being good in blitz because it shows you have patience and the ability to think, calculate long lines and stay cool after a long time. Blitz and bullet are only good for improving reaction speed and it's really just a game of mouse speed. I don't think bullet is really chess. Oh and don't get mad over downvotes, it's just people disagreeing.

exactly! finally someone who understands the concept

Funny how I am the player with the most experience in this forum post but everyone is downvoting me for my advice. Care to elaborate as to why that is?

In an earlier post in this thread you wrote ' Don't listen to Hikaru'. Funny.

From what i understand, on this site at least the blitz pool is much more competitive than the rapid pool. This can be attributed to the large amount of players that play blitz in comparison too rapid. I would say that for this reason, 2000 blitz on this site is harder to achieve for most than 2000 rapid.

Bullet 1 and 1+1 minute has a lost of mouse skills and speed involved, those who used a pc or mouse and tablets young will have a slight advantage. Time management (flaggin) is key in that format. and blitz 3+0 without increment to some extent.
