RE: STEEM IS TREATING ME BETTER THAN ALL OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA
I keep seeing people say how they learned so much from Trevon and it just makes us shake our heads. I have a BS in Computer Information Systems and have been in crypto since 2013 and I can tell you that a lot of times 40-50% of what Trevon says is actually incorrect. I'm not talking about price predictions because that is anyone's best guess but he just technically doesn't know what is going on a lot of times because he doesn't really understand the technology.
It is almost like a lot of his followers are brainwashed into thinking he is an inspiration somehow. It is mind boggling actually.
I'm not really sure how to express myself, but here goes. I get what you are saying, but Trevon still opened up my eyes to the crypto world in general and I, and many others, found Steemit because of him. I believe this to be healthy and good in general for the steemit and crypto community because it grows the community which will be needed if we want to see this go mainstream. I can see that he made a big mistake and do not disagree with you on this premise.
However, I feel and believe that I just got pushed around and bullied, on what is generally a friendly platform, for just stating that there are things I like about Trevon. Then this group of self-righteous, self appointed, steemit thugs comes into the Trevon post and does a 'virtual' beat down on not just Trevon, but anyone who doesn't bow to a full 100% Trevon hatefest. You guys literally came in here and thrashed many innocent people, many minnows like me, and flagged us and hurt our reputations. For what? Because we didn't immediately agree with you? This sort of thing does not generally win over new supporters to your cause.
If we want to run and participate in a open, free, and respectful community...we should follow the saying from the enlightenment, "I may not agree with what you say but i will defend to the death your right to say it."
Peace out and please consider limiting the attack to those are truly doing something bad. I am not saying that you directly flagged and attacked me or others, but am just posting most of this as a general post down thread of my post where I got rep thrashed.
Well they shouldn't have flagged you.
I just think people are getting charged up because Trevon flagged someone for saying that Bitconnect messed up a lot of people's lives.
One of the issues with Trevon and Craig pitching Steemit was that in a lot of ways it hurt the image of the STEEM blockchain. A lot of new people couldn't tell the difference between stuff like Bitconnect and Davorcoin which were centralized ponzi's and something like the STEEM blockchain which is a decentralized platform where you have control over your keys.
In a lot of people's mind people group this platform in with those scams because Trevon and Craig were on here as well in mid 2016.
Trevon and Craig actually are pretty well liked and pretty funny sometimes. If they would just smoke some Seattle Super Sonic Kronic and live the care free lifestyle and not pitch scams no one would have a problem with them.
But they broke bad....
I'll hit you with some upvotes which should get your reputation back to 25 or higher. Keep voicing your opinion........ That is what the STEEM blockchain is for.
Thanks! I'm going to follow you. Thank you for the well-mannered, honest, and measured reply. It shows character /slight bow
He doesn't follow anyone either. I'm not sure why, I'm still new, but that confused me. So he doesn't follow anyone's feeds? (edit: wow and over 11k followers)
Well for the most part even early on in 2016 he didn't really want to upvote other people because he thought it was going to "take money away from him." So he didn't really follow anyone else. Just some auto votes for @craig-grant and @yuliana
Between the three of them they could just upvote each other and earn full time livings.
He has delegated a bunch of his power it looks like to @minnowbooster but I don't think he knew how it worked or he wouldn't have done it.
Once the gig was up with Shitconnect they all came back here because they knew they could power up a ton of the ponzi money and make really good money out of the reward pool here.
To be fair, it is tough to go around looking at everyone's posts when you are a content creator. But I have 120 people on autovotes so even though you can't go around and look at everyone's stuff you can try to support other content creators.
he seems like an class A ass. People might not wan't to join Steemit because they all hang out here draining the pool with nonsense. This is Steemits achille's heel: asshole whales that vote for each other.
I originally saw you're BCC scam vidoe brian. Of course being in collections and finance for 21 years I realize no company can sustain 40 percent a month for long. What amazes me is the number of people that these guys did get to believe it was possible. My advice to everyone is if a offer looks to good to be true it usually is. I hate to see newbie investors getting buried by con artists. It hurts the overall crypto space. I joined you now as I also sub you're Ytube channel.
I think part of why new people got into it was because the whole crypto space in general was exploding and on those up days there would be coins up 30, 40, 50% in a 24 hour period of time so in comparison 1.4% / day didn't seem impossible. Plus everyone seemed to be making money off it. People wanted to believe so even if they saw warnings they just considered those people jealous or "haters".
