There are hundreds if not thousands of users who have joined Steemit because they were inspired by @craig-grant!!!!!
Unfourtunately @craig-grant has chosen to step away from the Steemit platform. Yesterday I noticed he hadn't posted all day and I found it kind of strange. So I went to his page and sure enough he had not posted. I than went to YouTube and checked his page out and saw a video he posted called "STEEM kicked me to the curb" I watched the video and honestly I was a little confused.
I know he had his little group of haters who constantly spewed out hatred towards him but in the last couple days things started to get really heated. I am not here to give these people any shine.
This post is to bid farewell to a man who devoted his life for the past year to Steemit. His influence not only on this platform but also on YouTube has introduced tons of users to this platform we love. I myself came to Steemit directly because of him.
I don't know what the future will hold for you Craig but I wish you and your family the best!!!!! May you find the true meaning of success you are working for!!!!!!
As for anyone who was introduced to Steemit by him please leave a comment bidding him farewell (or a plead for him to stay...)!!!!!!
Here is the video I watch on Youtube so that you guys can hear it from the horse's mouth.

To get new thinks in your life you have to let lose to older thinks maybe he had enough after one year and has new plans where he will have no time more for steemit. But it is true because of him many people came to steemit.
yes, your words are the same I have heard from others who know me well, they say I was wasting my time on steemit, certainly not last year or early this year, but for the past couple months as my income grew, I started hearing from those close to me that I am wasting my time posting on steemit, I did not agree, but after yesterday not posting... I am starting to agree :)
damn homey 😪😪😪.... I know you got big things ahead of you, only regret not finding your videos earlier. there was a time when I knew no one irl and you and trevon were like my crypto homeboys, i would just trade and smoke and have ur videos playing in the background just listening for the company lol!!!
still b on youtube tho!!
I'm one of those who heard of Steemit from Craig. And yes, a part of me feels like I'm wasting my time here. Over hundred posts, and less than 10 bucks earned.
You know @craig-grant if we do something what ever it is and it pays out to our satisfaction and helps other people, I don't see it as a wast of time but there comes always a moment in life where we have to stop with what we do and focus on new upcoming things in our life. Man what ever you do next and you do it with that same energy like you did here on Stemit you will be for sure successful. I wish you all the best for your future and if you like to steem again you know there is always a place for you here.

It's not gonna be the same @craig-grant. Whenever I came to steemit I would almost always see you at the top of my feed, and I enjoy your videos. I hope in the end you stay, but do what you have to do man. I hope these SJW's don't take over steemit. We don't need the negativity here.
you know what I'm gonna say @craig-grant I don't feel like you were wasting your time....but I feel you...nobody came to your rescue...including myself....by the time I started to get annoyed by those hecklers the flags were already flying...your spot at Steemit will always be here for you my G!!!! Bless up!!!!
I remember when the negative energy came in, you did your best to brush it aside. Welp!..see ya on youtube! Nice profits , btw! there's no loss at all
True True sad day. He was what brought me to Steemit as well. He brought a lot of people here just based on word of mouth. You can't be held to our past but have to live for the moment in the moment and forward. I do hope he changes his mind. Hes done a lot for the platform I cant speak on anything else.
Well, I am highly inspired by @craig-grant. He is the reason I joined steemit and I highly respects him. Always read and view his all posts. I am also kinda shocked when he didn't post the whole day otherwise he always posts twice on his steemit profile. I always liked his style and his money making gesture. I hope he'd back soon . Thanks for the info @mrviquez
There was a whole hashtag devoted to him here, and occasionally, a "hater post" targeting him would show up re-steemed in my newsfeed. Let's just say there is a group of people here saying some pretty horrible things about him and his wife....things that would make me leave, too (and consider legal action for libel against the ones making the accusations).
that's stuff is many years old, seen it all before here on steemit, but it never lasted long as the whales back then would flag hatred to protect the platform, most of those whales and originators of steem blockchain have already left steemit, even if they have not cashed out, they are certainly not active anymore
I just saw two new ones this week.
WOW! That top voter has got some right wedge in the bank! good on him! Whats steemit101? Any info on it @mrviquez
yes it is a channel we created on Discord to help brand new users deal with many challenges in the beginning of their Steemit journey... feel free to hit the link and join in...we take a more personal approach to help connect with all users.
Arhh I see! I have already got and account but never used it I have just found out! Hows it rolling with the massive amount of SP loaned from that dude!
Yea bro this shit threw me for a loop...i also joined SteemIt because of Craig around the same time you did...hopefully he'll come back but more importantly im hoping some changes are made to the flagging feature in the future...
I see still him posting. He posted a few hours ago
Unfortunate to see him leave. There was definitely people targeting him on this platform.
Not sure who is right or wrong in the situation but it sucks that it came to this...seems like so much time wasted.
not wasted time, my wallet has 189,000 steem worth almost $300,000, pretty good pay for 1 year of blogging for fun, by the time i power down all that steem, price might be $5 per steem, that's 1 million dollars for me :)
Well what I meant was...so much wasted time by the other parties to dig up a whole bunch of stuff just to "potentially" ruin your credibility.
Seems like a bunch of wasted time on their behalf...like seriously, they are hating on you like it's homework.
People seem not to remember how CG, and other people within his orbit, are responsible for massive fraud and, directly, another man committing suicide - right after he was deceived and ripped-off. Let's not call CG the victim here - because he's definitely not suffering, materially, from what happened.
Is it right to call anyone a "hater" for talking about the truth? Do you even know the truth about CG & Yulianas' past? Have you even made an attempt to look into it? Try not to hate me for talking about the facts - but a man is dead. There might not have been enough evidence to secure a legal prosecution & a conviction of a crime - but that doesn't bring a dead man back to life, either. There's a good reason why CG is getting some static here on SteemIt. I think the platform will not be hurt too much by his departure.
Try not to confuse sharing the truth and giving people a good, healthy warning with "hate" - because it's not an accurate comparision.

If you want to "get into it," be sure and read up on the posts, do your research, and follow up on all of the comments and links. Then come back and tell me all about what a "great guy" CG is, and all about how sad you are he'll be leaving SteemIt. I'm not sad at all.
yawn
good!!! who cares.
I was suprised as well, and wondered what happened. He was one of the people who inspired me to join Steemit. I don't know what happened, but I wish him the very best.
We'll miss him...
Is this 15years old kid for Witness?
I do not know how "wise" is that...
Boy genius now... A Serial killer later... LOL
I dunno he has that "crazy look" :P
About @craig-grant hey, if he hates money... Leave... LOL
I think he is an extra cool dude with the knowledge we need here on @steemit¨SOME NEED A NEW BRAIN¨
@theprophet0 is exactly that a boy genius!!!! He is the true meaning of a Steemologist.... Age is just a number...he witness is already ranked number 38...check him out
I did Mahh man!
Im very careful with them votes, only voted for a few till now!
Will do tho...
I think he does not like me too much hahah since I wanted to be "buddy buddy" with him, and spammed his wallet a few times...haha
At least I didn't send 0.001 to him, learn trolls :P
F%/& it, I had no idea the first few days what the hell am I doing here :P
Things do change... )
Cheers bro
I am gonna vote for him as witness as well
Yeah? I dunno... I'll wait until he's LEGAL age LOL
I know his pops is a cool dude also
I don't know him due I'm new but it's not good to see the good people of Steemit getting away :( Don't leave bro, take a break if needed but don't leave.
I feel he won't leave, but i don't know why i feel that way
i am hanging out until a few of my power downs have passed, don't want steem price to go down while I am selling steem
@craig-grant I still don't believe you are doing this and if you should leave steemit, i think it shouldn't be because someone is hating on you big time.
I'm just 19, a minnow and don't have anything within my reach to stop you from leaving but If i can stop you from living i will honestly do. Why not just give a break if you think you need one and not leave totally?
You inspire me a lot and if you leave, maybe everything wouldn't be same again
Interesting post and useful greetings know from @ abupasi.alachy
Looks like there are times in life where you have to take a turn. I'm not sure if anyone expected this but it happened.
meh, who cares...
the "little people" you piss on and cyber-bully and hate on today may flip the script tommorow, good work mrviquez :)
Good Job mrviquez "keep steeming"
Hey, Craig. I blame myself. Every time I find someone awesome in social media, they move along. I must have bad luck following me. I told myself, "Man, I am going to learn from him." Then... poof... you are gone. Thanks for the content.
Sad news! The dude was awesome.
These whale wars aren't good for steemit and steemits future. People should just put the beef aside for the sake of the platform!
this is surprising
It's sad that it doesn't matter what we do in life there is someone who gets their kicks on bringing others down. You would think that we all can support one another to reach our goals... never see it as a failure re-evaluate and create a new door... you will succeed. Blessings to you
This platform is not the place for a scammer, it's for people with integrity, apparently the people have spoken.
Big up Craig, I wish he stays, I joined Steemit from following his youtube channel, I hope he stays... its mind bending how far these folks take things, You just have to look beyond and One love as always

STOPSad to see you go @craig-grant. You've been part of my Steemit journey. Big up brother with whatever you do going forward, i'm sure it will be fun and profitable.
@craig-grant is like a king who picks sand in his sand and make it gold. Whatever he does earn him a lot of bucks.
P.S Didn't watch the videos but I wish him best of luck!
thanks for share.
You should really stop copy/pasting the same comment everywhere... it is considered SPAM and some people might flag it.
