I suggest you keep blowing all of your money buying votes (until you're blacklisted), it's the only way you're going to get any visibility here. Did you see what I just did you your 3 next payouts? Expect a lot more of that to come. Scammy fuck.

You don't need any more of other people's money. Took me 20 minutes of research several months back to see that Bitconnect was an obvious ponzi / pyramid scheme. As far as I am concerned, you are ready, if have not yet jumped into another one. I am NOT a fan, and think your intelligence level on crypto is at a very low level. Nobody should be taking crypto advice from you.!

Hi everyone I'm new to the community. I don't feel ready to start posting yet but I feel you need to know about trevonjb. It looks to me that he knew about the scam of Bittconnet and got rich at the cost of the misfortune of a lot of people, if he did I hope justice punish him and if he didn't participate I hope he can clear his name. In the meantime and because I belive he is guilty I want the comunity to know a bit more about the Bittconect case and trevonjb, beacuse of that I'm leaving the link to a great youtuber I follow about crypto news and a video he did before Bittconect was callled a scam. I belive he does not deserve our trust until all this Bittconect case is solved.

Assuming he has an IQ over 100, he knew. It doesn't take a genius to see that is was BS. Anything that guarantees profits like bitconnect was is a scam!

I wish there was a way to keep certain people from becoming influential buying Steem Power. It's really sad to see how the money stolen through Bitconnect is now helping in draining the rewards pool all while being laundered.

I keep seeing people say how they learned so much from Trevon and it just makes us shake our heads. I have a BS in Computer Information Systems and have been in crypto since 2013 and I can tell you that a lot of times 40-50% of what Trevon says is actually incorrect. I'm not talking about price predictions because that is anyone's best guess but he just technically doesn't know what is going on a lot of times because he doesn't really understand the technology.

It is almost like a lot of his followers are brainwashed into thinking he is an inspiration somehow. It is mind boggling actually.

I'm not really sure how to express myself, but here goes. I get what you are saying, but Trevon still opened up my eyes to the crypto world in general and I, and many others, found Steemit because of him. I believe this to be healthy and good in general for the steemit and crypto community because it grows the community which will be needed if we want to see this go mainstream. I can see that he made a big mistake and do not disagree with you on this premise.

However, I feel and believe that I just got pushed around and bullied, on what is generally a friendly platform, for just stating that there are things I like about Trevon. Then this group of self-righteous, self appointed, steemit thugs comes into the Trevon post and does a 'virtual' beat down on not just Trevon, but anyone who doesn't bow to a full 100% Trevon hatefest. You guys literally came in here and thrashed many innocent people, many minnows like me, and flagged us and hurt our reputations. For what? Because we didn't immediately agree with you? This sort of thing does not generally win over new supporters to your cause.

If we want to run and participate in a open, free, and respectful community...we should follow the saying from the enlightenment, "I may not agree with what you say but i will defend to the death your right to say it."

Peace out and please consider limiting the attack to those are truly doing something bad. I am not saying that you directly flagged and attacked me or others, but am just posting most of this as a general post down thread of my post where I got rep thrashed.

Well they shouldn't have flagged you.

I just think people are getting charged up because Trevon flagged someone for saying that Bitconnect messed up a lot of people's lives.

One of the issues with Trevon and Craig pitching Steemit was that in a lot of ways it hurt the image of the STEEM blockchain. A lot of new people couldn't tell the difference between stuff like Bitconnect and Davorcoin which were centralized ponzi's and something like the STEEM blockchain which is a decentralized platform where you have control over your keys.

In a lot of people's mind people group this platform in with those scams because Trevon and Craig were on here as well in mid 2016.

Trevon and Craig actually are pretty well liked and pretty funny sometimes. If they would just smoke some Seattle Super Sonic Kronic and live the care free lifestyle and not pitch scams no one would have a problem with them.

But they broke bad....

I'll hit you with some upvotes which should get your reputation back to 25 or higher. Keep voicing your opinion........ That is what the STEEM blockchain is for.

He doesn't follow anyone either. I'm not sure why, I'm still new, but that confused me. So he doesn't follow anyone's feeds? (edit: wow and over 11k followers)

Whatever you learned from him was basic noob 101 stuff, that you could have gotten from anybody else. I have seen several of his vids, and seen him say the most NOOB crap ever. Again, just because you learned a few things from him does not mean anything. Kind of like learning how to be hard from a rock. Does the rock deserve a bunch of credit ? LOL The only advice one should take from Trevon is maybe some marketing advice. MAYBE. Cheers.

If it is all about being Decentralized then why was he promoting centralized Ponzi's that are going to exit scam 100% of the time? He is still promoting more of these and n00bs are following him in.

Do what you want. If you want to follow him after seeing some of the information people have presented then that is your decision.

Trevon is a likeable guy and will likely run a Mega Church in a couple of years. a lot of his followers from Bitconnect will join and pay 40% of their income each month to Trevon so he can "help" everyone!

You kids are stubborn as hell.....SMH. If anything he helped HURT the crypto movement. As far as him "learning" from the experience, I just looked at his garbage Youtube channel again. He still is promoting bullshit, and "lending" platforms. The dude is an idiot, and a douche. Please send him money. lmao downey potato.jpg

lol, before yall waste time arguing with this guy... take a second to realize he has: 0 followers on steem, he has .5 steem meaning he doesnt even have enough crypto to invest into steem, and yet hes here on trevon's page posting hate... hes a nobody, hes just a hater, nothing more nothing less

my guess is he invested more than he could afford (newb move) into bitconnect and is now super salty

What the fck does my steemit followers, and amount of steem coin I have got to do with ANYTHING ? What are you ? Like 15 ? I am a real estate investor, and crypto is nothing more than a friggin' video game to me. I know you think it will get you rich while you sit in your mom's basement posting weed pics to social media all day. Lol, fck off scrub. Go buy into another ponzi your god trevon pushes.

What does your amount of steem or followers have to do with anything? Well the steem platform was designed as a way for content creators to be rewarded for their creations and efforts, and as a way for viewers to be rewarded for content curation as well as allowing viewers to directly reward authors. Just kind of a basic overview since you don't seem to get the concept seeing as how you don't create content and your lack of steem means you have very little influence. Which brings the question why are you even on steem?

And lol, am I 15? That's how old you look chasing trevon around trying to spread hate. You JUST joined steemit... let me guess, its cause you watched tre's video right? 😂😂 you really are a fan, you're just lashing out at tre cause he doesn't show you enough attention

My moms basement? Your mom must be way cooler than mine if you think i have 7 foot tall grow tents in my mom's basement 😭😭 where they do that? 😫 what an idiot

Real estate investor? Oh shit, I'm sorry, was that supposed to be impressive or something? Atleast show us some crypto holdings if you're gonna try to flex.

Think im gonna get rich off crypto? Nah, you got me confused with someone else. I know I'm gonna make money off crypto but I grow money. I don't have to rely on crypto, i got a cash crop that will always be profitable. And you can see what I'm talking about cause I have posts to prove it, instead of just claiming shit on the internet

I'm honestly surprised you can find positive vibes anywhere. You are the face of the Ponzi scheme of the new millennium, and you probably made quite a sum of money off of referral bonuses, whether or not you were "in on" the scam.

If you couldn't tell Bitconnect was a scam when you heard "1% guaranteed daily interest" or when everyone said it was a scam and laid it out, then I guess you're not a bad person, just a dumb one. Except, you kept promoting it while smarter people said it was a trap, because it enriched you further. Willful denial or conspiracy, you were profiting from pushing people to take a big risk that you didn't fully understand with their money.

But if you were fully aware that BCC was a scam, and you were intentionally duping people into putting their money into a trap so you could cash out the referrals, then I think you know exactly what kind of vibes you deserve, and I hope you find them everywhere you go. You won't, of course -- money will make people kiss your ass no matter how you got it.

I think most people on Steemit, like me, are not new to crypto, and tend to like reading, so we do research before investing significant amounts in any coin. No one here would have gotten burned from your bad advice in quite the same way as a total neophyte browsing on YouTube. Yes, they were stupid to listen to you without researching on their own, it's primarily their fault not yours, etc. And yet, you were the snake oil salesman accepting their money, so are you really blameless?

Remember: the amount of hate you feel is directly proportional to the amount of harm you were involved in causing to people. Remember that. They hate you because of the harm BCC, through you, caused to their lives. They trusted you and got burned. Now they hate you. Remember that. You earned that hate.

You. Earned. It.

That was the deal you made with the devil. You get rich by promoting a scam, but the money is coming from innocent victims, and they'll hate you for it.

That doesn't have to define you for the rest of your life, but it will until something else you do overshadows it.

I'm sorry to hear that.

edit - Self upvoting for visibility since @berniesanders went nuts flagging all the commenters that seemed to support this scumbag. We're on the same side here B..

In case it wasn't obvious from my flag on the post and my comment I think Trevon is a scam artist and I was sorry to hear that Steem is supporting him at all.

Bitconnect was a scam, not only did you take part in that scam and fool thousands of people to invest with you, but I was in your Facebook group and seen that "email" floating around that stated that you were going to bitconnectX and bitconnect was failing, how stupid people were and how happy you people were with stealing everyones money and this was before it happened.

You convinced the group that it was a fake email and all your bitcoin got stolen.

But I don't even think you can tell the truth anymore.
I would pity you if you weren't such a self serving piece of crap.

all you do is prey on people that want better for their lives and are easily convinced.

Nothing you have to say has value.

Next you'll be saying look at these Lamborghinis, but i am most proud of these book selves.. join my online class.

Hey Trevon, someone reposted your video and like an idiot responded to her thinking that I was responding to you. So I thought that I should hunt you down and re post was I posted to her. I can't give you an upvote as I think that that would be hypocritical but here is what I wrote.

Hey Trevon, I am certainly not a whale.....some would say not even a minow. I am relatively new to crypto but am more than aware of what has been going on with the whole Bitconnet thing. I don't think that I am judgmental so please take what I say in the spirit that it is given. I know that you have been getting a lot of flack (and as I said I am not judging, I have no idea if you deserve the flack or not) and to be honest I don't care, that is something that only you will know and its for you to deal with. When I first looked into crypto I came accross Bitconnect and ran a mile. I don't know if you have communicated with the people who followed you into Bitconnect (I imagine that you have ...or at least tried to) but I am sure that you can imagine their pain. Many people who got involved with the scheme did so out of desperation, it gave them what they believed to be a chance to get out of a desperate situation. sadly for many it made the situation much worse. I am not saying this to make you feel bad but simply because it is true. You said in your video that you are staying where you are partially to get away (and I can understand that) but I think that you would be wise to temper what you say and display at this point. You said that your hotel accommodation is better than you apartment (as it is too small) and that your house will not be ready for a few months. I do not think that this is what any of the people who followed you will be wanting to hear as they may not be able to "get away" they may be wondering how they are going to pay the rent on their apartment and they are unlikely to have the prospect of a new house to move into. As someone who, to use your own words...got lucky on Youtube..you should be aware of the power of public perception and I suggest that if you want to come out of this as well as possible that you keep that in mind. As I said I hope that you take this in the spirit that it is given (it is hard to communicate with someone that you do not know under these conditions). I have posted several comments on Steemit about Bitconnect and I think that the whole crypto space needs to be cleaned up, but as I said as much as I think that the people behind the scam acted in an manipulative and deseptive manner I have no idea as to your intentions and have no right to judge you personally. I hope that you find peace with all that has happened. I am sure that some will have opinions on what I am saying and I know that there are people here on Steemit who lost out though Bitconnect and I do not want to give the impression that I support anything to do with Bitconnect....their actions disgust me. Having said that I ask those who were burnt to ask themselves how they may have reacted if they were also an early adopter of the scam and had made a profit rather than a loss. I doubt that I have conveyed my thoughts clearly...and I had reservations as to whether to respond or not .... but by the nature of the blockchain it is there now for good, as is your video. I don't know how to end so I will sign off as I do each of my responses on Steemit. Cheers J
