I is good that @jerrybanfields videos are still bringing people to Steemit after he is gone. His rise to fame and fall from grace provided a great deal of drama over the past year.

Pardon my ignorance @professorbromide but in my defense, I am quite new to the whole steemit universe so I am a bit oblivious to many events that took place in-between. I am quite interested in the @jerrybanfields story thou. Not for the cheap thrills. His contributions to my development through his video tutorials I value immensely and that will remain unchanged.
Plus one should always be able to distinguish between the creation and its creator. I remember when I have signed up originally and didn't know how to do even a basic post in here. It wasn't until I found his videos things started to make sense.
With every great rise and fall, there are great lessons to be learned for the future. I would greatly appreciate if you could point me towards some good, objectively done piece on how exactly it all unraveled if you know of such a source.
Thank you for your engagement and civility. It is a breath of fresh air comparing to many encounters which I have had already where people are basically communicating with 3 basic phrases. "follow me", "like me" and "upvote me"
Looking forward to your next article.
Till the next time
It would be fun if there was a STEEM historian to pull together all the pieces of that saga for you.
Jerry was a very vocal and active user of STEEM for a while, but he started to do some desperate things when the price started to drop and his income was threatened. One of them was the proposed creation of a new coin that was the equivalent of a Jerry ICO. When it was called out as a scam he reacted badly.
The end of the story is where it got really weird. Let's just say that he posted a NSFW video about the strangest activity that I care to imagine. I've never watched it and don't recommend it until someone invents eyebleach.
Well, I suppose the golden rules of investing hold true. Do not invest at a level where you might be forced to sacrifice your integrity. Do not invest the money you don't have or are not prepared to lose.
It is a shame though. I think he would still do exceptionally well just focusing on helping others to grow on this platform. We are only at the beta stage and the floodgates haven't been even opened yet. Still, he has my gratitude. I was ready to give up in early stages. There was very little support and very few that knew what they were doing. Wish him the best. His content helped me a lot.
I think you are right that would be something unique. Steemit time capsule. Where noobs like me could have a look at major events and personalities that shaped the steemit as it is to date. Learn, if you will from the collective experience.
I don't know if there are any authorities here but if they are you should present your idea to them. I know there will be probably thousands of wishes and request going around. But hey, you don't ask you don't get.
Thank you very match for your help. I am runing out of steem. hehe :)
Time for bed.
Till the next time.
