Had wrote about this in a comment on Jimmy's intro page some two weeks ago:
Message in a bottle,
I created the profile for you and tried to get in touch with you via twitter, email, etc... to no avail. I am fed up to hear about your demonetisation, buy this T-shirt and that mug... so I tried to create an alternative for you.
I did not post anything that wasn’t your content (apart from this disclaimer... on Ron steemit as well). I think it could be a good platform for someone who perceives himself as being marginalised, because his views “do not toe the party line”.
I am sorry if you see this as “identity theft” / using your brand... but the beauty of blockchain technology is that is decentralised and (for most part) transparent. Hence you can follow the money... more like pennies... and see no cryptocurrency/$ went in, or taken out, just a few steem pennies accumulated. The same goes for the BTC QR code on the top banner (can’t see it on smaller screens), there had been no donations (BTC address: 14mQeJiwhooP578Etv6YYaUbtnET5A5JTS) I advise you a similar strategy so people can donate to you in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum.
I intended to help out, uploading your material... and at the same time you could have a clear picture of what this platform can do and earn for you... You could just look at it and perhaps it would have benefit you... as an US citizen not having anything directly to do with it / the gray area of cryptospace / cryptocurrencies.
I had been too busy to keep uploading your materials... and did not want to interact with the platform by commenting, upvoting etc “in Jimmy’s name”... and look forward to pass the private key to anyone you approve of... who has the time to keep it up to date, post, comment, vote... (monetisation correlates with the amount you interact with the platform) Now I have made it clear on the page it is not your official page... n feel more at liberty to interact. However if you want the possession of this account... just let me know.
PS: If it would work “getting in touch with the people at steemit” as Ron put it, to confiscate the account... and they were able to do it, it means the platform has no value. Blockchain is supposed to put the individual in possession of a digital asset which none can take from you as long as they don’t have your private key. However, that is what is supposed to be and what is part of the inherent value of Bitcoin... whether Steemit is as censorship resistant, decentralised and secure is another question.
Don’t freak out, and keep up the good work!
A Fan
