So if you're in Crypto and watch the YouTubes, you probably have heard about Bitconnect and may have heard about Trevon James. Pictured Below is Mr. Trevon.

Now Bitconnect had a affiliate program. Trevon became YouTube famous with tutorials and videos on all sorts of Cryptos. He gave solid advice from his point of view. He also netted over $1,000,000.00 in referral bonuses thanks to his charisma and his educational videos on Bitconnect. A lot of people made a nice amount of profit from Bitconnect from investing wisely. Other people didn't do so well, some even lost their life savings when Bitconnect shut down the Lending platform and the exchange. The reason being is because the price of Bitconnect coins which used to hang around $400-$350 a coin dropped down to about $25-$35 a coin almost overnight. People went nuts when this happened. Trevon's YouTube videos got flooded with hate and threats of law suits. Others were just glad to see him 'fail.' Stuff like this makes me personally want to vomit. Here's why...

People used to love Trevon for good reasons. #1, he was a regular guy working a regular job who achieved the American Dream. #2, he's a family man who loves his kids, (He just recently had his second child!) loves his parents, and was a charitable guy in general. #3, and this makes me the most upset that people turned on him, he used to give away .1 bitcoin almost daily. He gave away more bitcoin than any other YouTuber out there. Some would say it's meaningless because of how much he was making. However, people forget that he never had to give anything to anyone for any reason. In this humble bloggers opinion Trevon James was and still is one of the coolest and most helpful YouTubers out there in the crypto community. I personally learned quite a bit from him and made a modest profit before Bitconnect shut down the Lending program. I never won a give away from him but it didn't matter. The knowledge he shared was worth more than .1 BTC.

So in general, if you lost your life savings or your house because the price of Bitconnect Coin tanked you only have one person to blame. If you want to sue someone, sue yourself. Trevon always used to say, 'Don't invest more than you're willing to lose.' People need to learn to accept responsibility for their own mistakes. So do Trevon a favor and send him some love. He's here on Steemit and you can find him on almost all social media. I will provide a link for his YouTube channel below, tell him Merck4Hire sent you and show him some love. I'm sure he could use the encouragement after all the hate he has received. Also if you still have Bitconnect Coin, just hold tight, I have a feeling that the price will be going back up real soon. Be excellent to each other out there in the crypto community. We're all part of the same team.
