Trevon and Craig are actually pretty likeable, pretty funny, pretty decent marketers........but they just can't quit with the scammy stuff long enough to realize they could just indefinitely be Bitty Rich and earn a full time income from simply putting 1000 Steemians / DTubians on an auto voter and going on vacation for the rest of their lives!!!! That's not enough for them...... their greed overcomes them and they want it all. It is very perplexing to me.

Interesting, now I don't think Bernie is Ned, Bernie is on a crusade, I think he is OK, maybe he does get a little downvote happy sometimes, but at least he has a reason. Now as for @trevonjb and @craig-grant, I have an idea, they hurt a lot of people, I don't know if intentionally or not, even though seeing them promote some other scams makes me think they probably knew what they were doing, now what I think could make them at least regain some respect on Steemit,they could connect with the people who lost money on Bitconnect due to their videos, and start upvoting these peoples posts until they get at least a certain percentage of what they lost back, for Trevor and Craig it would be win-win, they heal some of the damage they've done, and besides they get to cash in on the curation rewards.

Well I never fully thought Bernie was @ned but that is pretty funny to think about especially because a lot of times Bernie will say stuff like "What are you going to do about this abuse @ned" LOL and he is always fighting with @dan as well so that part is strange because then suddenly @ned started kind of opening arguing with @dan.

I thought it sounded a bit out there, but they seem to agree about a lot of key points and both go back to the roots of Steemit. And Bernie has some major issues with Dan.
I've seen this theory taken further, and nobody seems to have any reasons why not.
The real life Bernie himself is a total weasel...

That would certainly make sense but instead I guess Trevon decided to "give back" by giving back part of the referral fees back from another scam gambling / lottery site. I think these guys are addicted to scamming the more I think about it .

Wow, good video and good points man. I had never really looked at it that way. I was actually flagged by Berniesanders for making a legit comment on someones post, that he is apparently in a war with. I had no Idea and I was very confused as to why I was down voted. I made a positive comment about the team behind ADA Cardano. But I guess, he was trying to protect the reward pool from the author that I commented on. Not too sure, that is the deeper side of Steemit that I don't have much experience with yet. Thanks for the point of view.

Sometimes it can be confusing to new users but there certainly a power struggle on a decentralized platform like this. It is all a very interesting experiment!

I had someone get kicked out of my bar saying it's bcause he was black! lol I'm like AAAAAH nooo... it's because of your an asshole. Then he swung at me calling me an uncle tom... not knowing i was the owner lol... so i knocked him out... and called him a cab.

Yeah man it is over the top and a thing that was even more annoying to me that Trevon was acting like at one point before Bitconnect collapsed that he was an entrepreneurial success story. My eyes rolled back in my head and I puked in my own mouth. I just don't get the thinking of blowing all that money staying in hotels either. Super strange to me.

Drug dealers and people who get illegal money spend it. Or they could be just that dumb with money and thought it would last forever. I'm so cheap lol... I'm debating on spending ten bucks on a pizza or just cooking for the last 3 hours. In the words of the great rapper little dicky...

Interesting. Maybe bernie is ned. Well I did not know trevon had fake accounts but as you probably know from our past convos yeah I'm not a fan of that clan!!! I was looking at who they follow once and digging around and was already aware they aren't really a part of the steemit community. Their greed is so despicable particularly following some recent downfalls they were heavily promoting I've often wondered why the fck they aren't quitting while they're ahead? Or maybe they really just think it's "cool " to be the way they are. You are right they could seriously live off curation alone. Thanx for putting this video together.

Thanks for commenting. It is pretty perplexing for sure and I almost think that since nothing has happened to them so far they feel invincible and they start to get addicted to promoting all the shady stuff instead of just taking a step back at it and taking what would actually be the easiest most conservative and legit route.
The could just get into mining, running masternodes, curation ......etc and just make great returns passively but it is like they keep promoting other shady stuff and living in hotels.....etc. I don't get it.

I bet you could probably get an interview with @trevonjb or @craig-grant if you asked them. It might be interesting to ask them what their motivations are and if it goes beyond just the money. Its always nice to hear every side of the story.

Money corrupts! Crypto aka the decentralized one,looking at you ripple-fake crypto,
they prevent much of central control. Decentralization will protect us all. Like how i hope my chainmon game will protect kids from banks by teaching them crypto in a fun way. Here the first card:https://steemit.com/card/@sames/chainmon-first-card-is-here

Wow Brian @brianphobos. That's some unfortunate stuff. ( Btw, great job uncovering all this and disclosing it especially for us newer steemians)
You know what though ? There are people in this World who are just sociopathic. You could tell them over and over to play by the Rules this way and you will benefit yourself and everyone else in the long run. But they just do not have a conscience, and have zero empathy for others. So they will continue cheating the system.
There is no reasoning with a psychopath. Believe me I have found this out the hard way
It's scary really, the damage these people can do :(

Yeah, I did a video about that. They just can't stay away from scamming. I think they are addicted to it. With the millions they have they could just curate content with an autovoter, stake neo, run some masternodes, and do a few other things and they could just live the dream and just earn that passive income. Seems like a pretty easy route ..... but they can't stop scamming. It is strange.

Dude, forget even using autovoters, they could sign up for smartsteem or minnowbooster and just sell their votes automatically. It would be pure passive income every single day. Sure maybe it's not as "steemit ethical" as autovoters, but hell they could make a lot more off of it. I don't understand these guys.
