A big part of the community dissing him right now, I really admire him to keep on posting here. He is the guy with most of the followers here on Steemit. In my eyes his articles are on top of everything even if I do not agree on Shemitah, or Trump or anything else... because it is about rigging and the inevitable collapse which I think has to come some day anyhow.
But I think the guys who constantly try to diss him want to kill Steemit entirely. Without Jeff Steem marketcap 5 million.
If we wanted to kill steemit, we wouldn't have invested in it. I invested back before anyone was even getting paid on here and I've been an active and supportive community member ever since. As for TDV, I fell for his bullshit back in 2012 and learned my lesson the hard way (followed his advice to sell all my stuff and move to Chile, where he had founded a new real estate development that turned out to be a big scam). When I warn people here about him, it's out of a desire to protect steemit. There are a lot of people like me out there who know about his scams and to them, Steemit looks like a scam by association. I was a sucker once too and can't do anything to change that but at least I can inspire others to do their research and refrain from similar mistakes themselves. If we're going to thrive as a community, we have to hold one another to higher standards and stop welcoming sleazy predators with open arms.
You are one of the persons who bought into GGC? Sorry to hear that...
But for me the thing remains the same... if Jeff stops writing here it removes for me a big reason to check Steemit... I like the way he writes stuff. I would not change him for a 1000 stellabelles.
I just read that as a confession of your abysmally low standards... If all you want to read is his ridiculous doom porn, you might as well just follow him on facebook. It's not like he writes exclusively for steemit or anything. He just copies and pastes his shit to multiple platforms, including this one. By saying that you only come here for that, you're saying that steemit isn't any more valuable to you than the other platforms he pastes his material to and so you're clearly missing the point of the platform entirely.
