VLOG 207: WHAT CAN I TEACH YOU NOW?

in trevonjb •  7 years ago 

It's the first vlog from me back in The States. In todays vlog I pose a question to my subscribers as I have gotten a little bored with crypto as of lately apart from Steem. Even as far as Steem goes there's only but so much I can make videos on. So please, watch the video before you comment and upvote because I'm looking for genuine answers.

Enjoy!

I would be really interested in a video where you do a trade. How you take profits etc. How do you store your profit? You buy btc, get into a new coin or even fiat?

glad you're back home!!
👻

It's not even profitable to mine bitcoin anymore....Ether is pushing it. Maybe monero and coins that haven't gone up so much it's still worth it, but not with Genesis mining. If you really want to mine with Genesis, don't...but the coin at its value instead...you'll be much happier than if you mined...much happier. I mined with genesis for years...it's so much of a joke I can't believe it's being pushed. I have about 5 friends that mined when I was mining, and we were all tempted to create a lawsuit against Genesis..they don't scam you, they do pay you...but they pay you nothing. 95% of people investing with Genesis don't have the necessary knowledge to make an informed decision whether it'll be profitable to mine with them..it won't...100% it won't. They take advantage of peoples lack of education in the crypto world and make a ton of money themselves because of it.

This is an interesting concept... Everyone who trades realizes they'd rather just buy $2500 of ether or bitcoin vs. mining it and waiting 6 months before making even a penny... I personally put $2500 into Genesis mining bitcoin and currently received 1.15 bitcoin in about 4-5 months... had i just bought that garuntee id have more money now... However if the growth continues to mine in the next year or more, than i should have more coins from mining than my initial purchase could have ever bought. Mining is a safe investment just very very slow in the profit, but has potential LONGterm to be more profitable if these coins ever boom and in crazy chance the payouts continue? IDK you probably have much more experience than i, however Longterm there still seems to have potential... maybe I'm just an ignorant hopeful:)

Are you profitable even considering rising mining difficulty, any maintenance fees, and length of contract? I've always wondered how the cloud mining guys work... why wouldn't they just mine for themselves? Because it's more profitable to rent mining hardware and charge fees? Maybe Genesis Mining is different as I'm not familiar with them (haven't looked into that stuff in a long, long time).

Hey Trevon- Def not ICO's (against my religion as well) but a breakdown of particular coins and your thoughts/perspective on them would be cool. Love the daily live vlogs by the way.

Love you @trevonjb but did you just compare yourself to Bill Gates?!

Glad your travels were safe to Iceland Mr. Gates.

It's cool you got to go to Iceland and view Genesis, but I don't really get how you can promote it. Have you been investing in their mining for a while? I started investing 4 year ago with them...it's a joke. It's not a scam, but it's a joke. Anyone would've been better off just buying bitcoin for the price it was at instead of mining. You would've made way more money. Between mining difficulty and their fees, you're throwing away your money. I have proof from my own experience that Genesis is a joke of a way to make money in mining.

I would consider it diversification rather than a joke. Moreover, how do you invest in altcoins, other than buying them outright...and of course blogging on Steemit?

What do you mean how do you invest in altcoins other than buying them outright. That is the way, and for the bigger coins, it's the best way in my opinion. Most don't want to deal with setting up a mining rig, great if you do. Much easier to open up a Bittrex account and just buy coins. I look at altcoins like I do stocks. You can't mine shares of a company you research the company and if you believe in the company you buy shares in it. It's that simple. Have you invested with Genesis for years? I hate and I've seen what my returns are and it's pretty easy to know I would've made a lot more had I just bought bitcoin and ether. Diversification? Really? We must have different opinions on what diversification is. I own about 10 coins that I bought outright. That's diversification to me. You dont need to think Genesis is a joke, but I know it is from experience and would nrve tell people to invest in it to diversify or start out in altcoins. I'd much rather to tell them to set up a counbase account where you can set it up so that you're automatically buying a certain dollar amount of the 3 coins they offer each week

A true entertainer. Your not boring like so many of the others. Teach us more on Steemit in how to get more followers and putting out better content. Motivate us with your account and how you built it up. Talk about your beliefs on where Steemit is gonna go and how it will make people wealthy who have positioned themselves properly in acquiring Steem Power. Lead us to the promise land , guru Trevon .

is coinbase the only way to transfer between fiat and crypto, for americans?

Not the only way, but the way I do it.

Did you ever had problems with Coinbase? Is it safe? I also opened an account, but I am a still a little afraid, because of scams. I am totally new to crypto.

Unless you control your private keys, you don't control your crypto...Exchanges like Coinbase go down all the time, leaving you unable to access your funds or make trades - and timing is critical in this market.

Thank you for your advice!

ツ welcome back to the states.... Glad your interest in steem is 💯

Hey man, you don't seem to suffer from jet lag. What's your secret?

No clue

What do you think of Segwit?
Where is Bitcoin's price headed before/after Segwit?
Where will Bitcoin end the year?
Where will crypto as a whole end the year?
What's going to happen August 1st?
Where is Steem headed this year?
What % of your portfolio is in Bitcoin, Steem, etc?
What will become of Ethereum?
What coins do you hate?
What do you think a bear market will look like/how long will it last?
Instead of 1+ hr live trading streams, do a trading video series.

Maybe you could talk about how we could use our hard earned crypto in our daily lives and discuss investment opportunities to make this world a better place in general.

Tutorials would be nice..or maybe a blue print of how to get to the level you are at.

That intro hahaha
Great info, I see you had a Safe trip and made it back in one piece! Thanks for sharing, keep up that awesome sense of humor and great work!

Lol you must be new to my vids

Lol nahh your intros get me every time too

just do you.. we will watch

Do more videos where you travel. I think that would be interesting.

what will happen to our banks etc if crypto becomes mainstream? will they become another alt coin?

You could interact with your steemit community in the comments more... that'd be nice

Ill try

Bet.

There's still so much you could do a video about but the question is what do you want to make a video about. I've been trying to figure out how to use my future BTC gains in real world investments or how to put them in a card like bitpay card to pay bills and buy stuff with it. Maybe that's a good idea to go off. It's all about your choice on what to make a video about.

Antminer l3+ sould out quiqly , and power suply on the first day . They now reselling at 3000 usd . And most interesting of all Bitmain only accepts LTC (41) and usd. I want you to teach us in how to get more referals . I would love to get afiliates in genesis mining ;) . Iota hitting the market and how they work would be a good topic too. Technical analisys for newcomers on bittrex . I want to KNOW IT ALL!!!

Welcome back to the USA. I always find it hard to pick back up with normal life after I get back from vacation.As soon as I get time I will be going through all your videos on Steemit. I have just started here. With Genesis is it better to mine ETH or BTC? Some videos on ICOs could be helpful as well.

Last time I checked Tre wasn't a big fan of ICOs ( me either lol ) but Ameer Rosic has some good videos about them

Yeah I know he doesn't like them. But that doesn't mean he don't understand them and can give some good input. On what makes them bad or what ever.

true

Some of things you would like to change about the cryptocurrency space, because nothing is perfect

Talk about whatever you want. Life, new movies, new music, what you would like to see implemented on Steemit, etc. As long as you're true to you, it should be good.

Pick a coin a month to speculate on. What you think will happen to BTC pricewise rather than Segwit.

Didn't quite watch the whole thing as I skipped through the soulful pauses but what you can do from now on is what I hope to do. You are a personality in the Crypto World wether or not you realize it, you can essentially position yourself as an investor or entrepreneur and explain to people what you are doing to make profits, what coins and new technologies you are following. The crypto world needs news anchors essentially and you can simply synthesize the information you learn about cryptos everyday and explain the useful bits to everybody else. I would suggest making videos covering upcoming ICOs that you are interested in or that people suggest to you. Many youtube creators have a voting system in place where users suggest their next video simply put up some coins you're interested in and whatever the users choose can be the next video. Just my thoughts, I am trying to get my foot in the crypto world as well and am open to any advice you could offer me as well. I like your content I hope that you continue to produce more. I post about crypto currency and politics and generally useful crypto information any follows/upvotes would be much appreciated.

Also if you need help coming up with videos and ideas I would be more than willing to help you produce content.

I think it's still that jet lag and you running on Iceland time that's keeping you tired, Trevon - just shrug it off and get back to innovating on Steemit and YouTube!

Since there are a lot of new users to Steemit, I think you can easily devote more videos to talking about Steemit. Basically, detailing your own experience on Steemit - how you went from a minnow to a whale, how you grew such a diverse and huge group of followers and how you continue to stay successful on Steemit.

Not only that, now that you're celebrity across both Steemit and YouTube, you can even do some collaborative videos with some of the other famous Steemians. I would love to see a video of you and @craig-grant as soon as both of you are in Florida! Tag-team FTW!

You always do such a fantastic job with your videos - I look forward to seeing a new video and learning something new and interesting from your channel everyday. Thanks @trevonjb!

Haha thanks @itsmee.bosslady!

your profile right now is very attached to genesis mining, I follow your posts even though I don't want to invest on G-M mining, I don't think of them as a scam, but because ROI duration is longer, I would prefer to buy bitcoin, steem, and trading on poloniex, bittrex. I guess I follow you because you believe in bitcoin and its perspective. It makes me hopeful and to stay positive. I want to learn more about how to earn more steem on steemit, and earn bitcoin by an alternative ways (apart from cloud mining). Thank you.

How would you go about telling people who aren't familiar with cryptocurrencies about steemit. Of course, they'd love the fact of hearing you can make money..and that it's a good social platform but for those who don't really understand how. Hope I'm making sense with this question.

@trevonjb... How Steemit may actually be a more viable currency than Bitcoin in the future. What do you think of this as a possible future for Steemit? Please read here https://steemit.com/steemit/@wvm/a-future-of-steem-a-new-possibility

Theres alot to talk about but you have to keep in mind that the crypto world is moving at a rapid pace however theres still time between developing and implementation so we are currently in that period. Waiting for things to become implemented

Welcome back !! any idea about the cheapest long term crypto investment !!

Teach us how to cut our hair (reference to you wanting to cut yours) lol

On a serious note, if you are feeling bored of crypto you should try something new, maybe become a gamer. Your subscribers enjoy your videos because they enjoy your personality. So you could easily do other things outside of cryptocurrency. It depends what you are interested in though. Maybe you don't like playing video games. That was just an idea, you could do whatever you wanted to.

I bet you would gain even more subscribers (at a faster rate) if you were to expand outside of cryptocurrency.

I think that if you were to get into ico's that would be great. Do that!

Yes thought about doing gaming videos. Jus havent gotten into the setup

Well, you would do great. You have the personality for that sort of thing.

Keep doing what your doing, Its your Gift and our Present!!!
You tell us, Then tell us again, Then tell us what you told us!!!

Man do you look exhausted from your trip, do you ever sleep?

I never can get a nap

I would be Interested in Trade lessons,

Thanks for sharing
Followed, ReSteemed
Pls Follow me

Wellcome back. Bitcoin goes up and go down, it is cool with me. It will go up for sure.

I think w/ the experience u have u could put more of an emphasis on telling folks what not to do in the crypto space...it's still so many newcomers making bonehead plays like "selling ethereum during a flash crash". You could probably tell 1 of those stories damn near everyday lol.

Your videos is always entertaining dude :) Just started with genesis mining because of you so thx

No problem!

Loving your content @trevonjb keep it going, was great to see you at the genesis mining facility, keep teaching the people.

No problem

How to make as much as you per post, just to start with ;)

Did you get that much mining power with buying or because of all the referals?

both

Does anyone know how to give smaller percentages of your upvote instead of always doing 100%?

You have to have 400+ steem power to have the slider

Thanks man! Also, can i link my Genesis mining to Steemit account by putting username in the genesis wallet? I've never seen anyone do this before but im curious if its possible

Teach us how to invest in cloud mining

I personally would like to hear some crazy or odd "story times" from the past, just to get to know you better as a 'teacher/leader' in the space. Basically explaining how you dealt with whatever it was and how it comes into play now that you are older, in business and raising a son.

Will do

"Me" so happy now :-)

Thanks for the content @trevonjb i am still going through you're archive so still have a lot to learn from you and always look forward to new content.

Keep pumping out those awesome videos Bro, you are an inspiration 👍 😎!

Another day another dollar

I think that you was always talking about what interests you, why to stop with it? I would say talk about whatever you like and interact with people, help them out if you feel like a teacher and if it does makes you happy if you help out.. People are here also because of how are you

Nah, dude you got that: giphy (14).gif

lol

Welcome Back. I would like for you to do videos on, on how to make passive income with crypto.

teach us what you think about this segwit

What resources do you use to spot a potential big profit website?

You need to have a broad understanding of many different currencies then you have to compare them apples to apples as not all coins are created equal, then you need to decide what direction you think the industry is then you need to figure out potential ROI and invest accordingly. There is no resource to tell you buy this and you'll make this much money, this is all speculation and if anybody tells you they have a sure thing, they are sorely mistaken. Just go with the companies you believe will be widely adopted and don't think its for you because the most value these coins have is in the developing world so you need to think globally.

Great video fam!!!

I know you're so done with trading, but for us newbs we do need to trade to establish a strong foundation in crypto and go from there. Selection of coins and when to get in and out is important too.Maybe you can do virtual trading if you don wanna risk yr assets.

I would like to see videos on where you talk about the potential of several cryptocurrencies. There are several hundred of them right now. It's obvious like internet stocks back several years back that not all of them would survive. It would be great to hear your viewpoints on this.

teach us about vote power and when it refreshes.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Nice. I have been watching all your vlogs from a long time now

Lets say you have few hundred dollars and you want to invest it in crypto by mining.
Which crypto would you choose, where and why?? Also mention if you would invest the money otherwise!? thanks

I am a tiny minnow, just starting in Steemit. I joined Steemit because it was the only way I could find to get any cryptocurrency, even a tiny bit. PLEASE make a Vlog for total beginners who are struggling to buy cryptocurrency, any cryptocurrency. Once you have one crypto coin, you can exchange it for others. But how do you get your first coin? It seems U.S. banks will not allow persons residing outside the country to buy crypto with a credit card, and neither will the exchanges sell to us or let us join. Coinbase sent a message saying "service not available to your country". I want to buy some bitcoin but I can't find a way. Maybe you know something about bitcoin ATMs abroad, or how to check out people on localbitcoins.com. Your expert opinions would be very welcome! I am already following you, trying to learn as much as I can.


What is your take on the Poloniex situation? It seems the site is quickly in decline and acting like they aren't. Is the sky falling?. I am really worried about having my coin on Poloniex . How would you recommend converting SBD to USD or GBP and what site should I use?

I am not too familiar with genesis mining but how do I use your code? I am on the site now.

What I want you to Teach Me


1)How to quickly convert crypto to cash
2)How to safely store crypto in a way where you can conveniently trade it without getting it caught in a transaction limbo and taking on massive fees.
3)Is Bitshare really the Truth (legit going up 10,000% by this time next year)?

Also: could you please respond with the videos you have made on this Genesis Mining upgrade process and whatever it is...I am completely a newb to that.

I'm VERY new to all this "cryptothing", so a video about the basis would be appreciated by me and surely i'm not the only one... Unless you already done it... yeah ok I will scroll down your page in case I missed something ;) !!

I am very happy that you are now interested in steem, please can you tell me how I get back my old reputation level of 45 because yesterday I was blacklisted by some user I don't know why,so is there any way to complaint about this and get my rank back.

Haha, I really like your excitement. Great clip dude. Gimme some free BTC, we'll wait till 1 August. :D

keep up the content g! love it

i have an idea. what if your next line of vlogs were about starting business that only accept crypto? how to get people selling all types of things together on a website like ebay or etsy but only accept crypto? but not sell illegal/blackmarket stuff like silk road. that would rock!!

nice @trevonjb
im watching your vids on youtube
more power

your background music on your video's, it's amazing :)
Love your vlogs, gonna follow now, especially the genesis video was epic! We want more :)

Oh and what I would love for you to talk about is "Drums rolling" : Tell us if you think that the today's marketcap state will be the same in 10-20 years! that would be a great video.. Example like Ethereum beating Bitcoin (allmost). And do you believe that in 10 years from now this would still happen to the existing "strong" coins who people think will be "THE CRYPTOCOINS" of the future, or will it be something like a regular market that every couple years a new product comes that beats the competitor straight from the top list.

thats what I would love to hear from you :)

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Go go go man, thanks for keeping us fed with your posts really liking em. Keep it up

I think a video or series of videos where you explain in layman's terms what Segwit is, what the alternatives are, what it all means for the future, what happens in August etc etc.
That would be of great value to so so so many people I think.

Cool! I'm a subscriber on YouTube. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge to us.

Great post. Love your 'tempo' 👌😎

Maybe talking more about just being self sufficient, prospering doing whatever you want in life, and all your success online. The ups and down. I think many on here can learn a ton more from you, including me! Thanks as always

You spoke about many things. I am new but what is genesis? And any tips for new guys like me? I'm trying to support the community by upvoting valuable posts and commenting my thoughts. Any other tips? Let me know man!

lol your odd little intros

True, BTC Tx fees are too high for small amounts of BTC, i can only imagine how much the fees are for transferring a whole bitcoin! Yikes!

Hey welcome back! I know you did some videos on how to trade with Poloniex for beginners, but seeing as you don't like poloniex anymore can you do some trading on Bittrex for beginners?
Just some crypto beginner videos would be cool, I am out here trying to learn and y'all are so knowledgable, I wanna catch up!! :) You were really good with all your steemit vids helping me figure my way around here!

keep them coming man, i watch your vids all the time from dublin ireland.

So I guess a lot of people want to hear you talk about ICOs and different coins, but if 99% of projects don't even have an MVP...what is there really to do besides speculate lol??

That's cool for awhile and it has it's place in the market, but I think it's more fun to interact. I'm sure you meet some interesting people in crypto, why not bring them on your show and look for ways to connect them with your audience?
Or at least seek out projects with a platform that people are already using, and can actually benefit from - Projects like Steemit, Corion.io, Swarm City, Ethlance, even Dash - All have different ways to earn an income in cryptocurrency for doing things they're passionate about and helping to bring value to the community.
Because at the end of the day, what's the point of quitting your job just to do something that feels like work lol?? :)

Some possible topics. There are a lot of law changes regarding crypto happening now, that might be interesting. Some topics on portfolio strategies maybe. Although I think you just documenting your journey is also a great way to continue to put out stuff. Maybe look at ICO investing. Maybe some more theoretical blogs that talk about the future of crypto. hope that helps. Good luck man. I'm a fan.

Great stuff man, really enjoy your videos.

Bro.... Teach us how to make a living. Your video on how to earn using steemit was really helpful for me. Now I am earning 10 dollars per day (it's a good amount where I am from). You gave me the idea through ur video. You can surely put videos to help people to make a living. I don't know about genesis mining. Wish to learn. ICOs.. Many ICOs are fake that's a big concern. Teach us how to be self sufficient so that we can contribute to the community.

You have actually collected lots of positive energy and steem power from your holiday...now back to action and keep the success going. Nice video

What do you think of EOS?

Thank you so much for sharing this one.

Doin It up!

HEY I'm all open ears on this thing... JUST made my first $5!!!!! couldn't be more excited... u can teach us about GENESIS MINING ETHER??? is it worth it this late in the game or should we just buy Ether? Im currently mining bitcoin with Genesis and happy with my daily payouts but hesitant to jump into mining ether this late? ANY advice? appreciated regardless :)
