I plan to stream blitz, not bullet, My blitz rating sits at 1830
Look the condition for streaming on lichess: http://fr.lichess.org/how-to-stream-on-lichess
You can stream chess on this site no matter what your rating, heck I've seen a 600ish player stream chess (its really that bad). Your rating only matters if you want your stream to be advertised on here.
"I've seen a 600ish player stream chess"
I want to see this.

They're itching to give you their stream URL but can't seem to get through the captcha. :(

Personally I see nothing wrong with streaming at any level. It will inevitably help your game as you start doing the analysis, getting feedback from better players, etc.
Look at the top chess events. You have IMs and on occasion a GM commentating them, and quite often they will think they find something amazing in a position, and then are baffled when Magnus or Anand or the like play something they hadn't even considered. Then later they'll get joined by Kramnik or someone and ask about that amazing line and he thinks all of 2 seconds without even knowing he'd be asked about it and then refutes it entirely.
Such is the way of chess, there's always someone who will see things you can't, at least sometimes. So as long as you don't present things as if it's the only possible way to do something because you somehow have great chess expertise, I'm sure people will enjoy it for entertainment value, and maybe newer players will learn something. I think it's great to have players of all levels streaming and commentating because beginner players often can't understand what people pushing master levels are even talking about.
