RE: The Witness Business: Promises of Riches
@paulag ...Whoa… @jerrybanfield sure gets a lot of attention on Steemit, considering he isn’t the newest whale in the pond.
I discerned from the very first video he did on this platform, that his finance skills are not for the novice; and, those who listen know enough to keep up, or at least be willing to watch a video more than once to be sure they didn’t miss something of value. As I’ve noted in previous posts, he has a very high-energized pitch, pun intended.
@lexiconical is a genuine asset to his success; for which, in all fairness, Jerry always gives him credit for.
You said it best. Jerry is a pitchman…a very successful pitchman at that. In fact, he’s so successful, that even the trained ear might miss the fact that he’s pitching.
In all fairness to this guy, he says upfront in his intro to Steemit, that he has generously financed his own wallet; as many whalians have done, I might add.
If we say it’s the whales that keep the ship from sinking, are we sure we’re not biting the hands that feed this platform in the process?
I think as long as Steemians are playing by the rules, then the ethical side of things should be left to the individual players. I assure you, there have been worse things I could cite as bad for the community…starting with the porno thumbnails.
Peace.
Right, I am with you, there are worse things for steemit, starting with the porno thumbnails. But this post has created engagement, so jerry is obviously a thought provoking subject.
I agree. @jerrybanfield has a go-get-it persona which catches the attention of the viewer. Some jibe with him, some don't.
After giving it some thought, I realize that the funniest, and I mean, absolutely funniest thing of all is, (smh), he doesn't give a flying flip about the naysayers.
Actually this is a part of his success. He wears proverbial blinders, only focusing in on how to help others, and in the process helping his bank account.
By keeping his eye on the main thing, he doesn’t waste precious time explaining himself to people who obviously don’t have any intention of helping his bottom line, i.e. growing his brand.
Granted, @drakos makes it clear he’s not ragging on Banfield. And, then he goes on to make the case that teeters on doing that.
In closing, I have a what if: What if @drakos is actually Banfield? I could believe it. I mean, how better to keep people talking about him than to make a controversial post regarding the same. Ha! (lol)
Well, that’s it. I find a lot of people, mostly minnows I’m willing to bet, spend more time talking about him; than he does about us. Obviously, I’m as guilty as the next; because I’ve made more cases for and against Banfield than he’s made for or against me. (lol)
Peace.
I can assure you that jerry and drakos are not the same people! that is all
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...l-ng ol!!!
Thanks!
Peace.
