Disabling My Steem Witness = More Earnings + Votes for Other Witnesses

in #witness6 years ago (edited)

Thank you for giving me a chance to serve as one of the top 20 witnesses for Steem this year as seen at https://steemian.info/witnesses and helping me earn tens of thousands of Steem for that contribution!

I am disabling my Steem witness for the reasons explained in the video above because doing so will allow all the other witnesses to have what would otherwise be my blocks, earnings, and votes. This frees me up to completely focus on producing more music where I am releasing a new album every 13th of every month and live streaming the creative process each night at

/.

For any existing witnesses looking to get ahead, I have a nearly finished marketplace platform for Steem which has been in development most of the year that just needs the finishing touches and ongoing development. You are welcome to have all the code and take it for yourself when you get a hold of me on discord at https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/.

Love,

Jerry Banfield

I've just stumbled on this video about disabling your witness. I was browsing your Youtube video. That's how I stumbled on it.

It's very generous of you. Being generous isn't easy. I always thought you had good values and intentions but I was beginning to doubt whether I was right or wrong.

I've always supported you on Steem from the beginning up until 2-3 days before you disabled your witness. That's when I unapproved your witness 2-3 days before you disabled it.

I was beginning to wonder if you had become too addicted to making money which is a very real addiction. I was beginning to wonder if this addiction was getting in the way of your more fundamental intentions.

Money is just a tool.

We all have fears of not having enough money. Some people actually die from not having any money left.

They die at the hand of wars, personal wars, national wars and supra-national wars.

Maybe someday humanity can grow beyond the state it's currently in.

Here's one of my very favorite video of Jerry.

Interesting for sure.

Thank you @jerrybanfield and all the best ! Steemians should regularly check their list to make sure they don't vote inactive witnesses. You can use this online tool to check your list. PS: I am a witness as well and here is my witness thread. ^_^ Thank you.

I’ve been saying for a LONG time that Steem’s crushing downfall is downvoting being able to take away rewards and censor people. It allows people to pay to censor...and there are PLENTY of forces that pay to censor. Censorship costs money—it is the fundamental force! And now look at what has happened: anyone speaking their truth (below) has no visibility—and hidden until click-revealed from the front-end code. Censorship.

I hope you read this. To me, it looks almost coerced and you were possibly reading from somewhere. Not a huge deal, you've stepped on a few toes and offended several. I could care less about all of that, I like that you are similar to me in the social sphere. I am most happy to see the baby carrier! I thought I was the only one that did that LOL! Very cool, earned a new respect from me for that. I am glad you are enjoying the music and see that happiness isn't always about the money. I also see you are powering down and am curious if you are sticking around at all? I'm not going to beg for your witness vote but do ask that people check me out if you so feel inclined. Not going to lie, I'd like a little more money, and I am the change I wish to see. Ask around about #thealliance and how we try to spread the love vs giving negativity on the chain attention. Witnesses I think that do deserve boosts for their dedication and hard work here I think you all should look at (if you aren't already voting on them) are:

Very well said @enginewitty , and that sort of selfless giving to others is exactly why you have my Witness vote.

Good luck with creating music @jerrybanfield, as a popular singer on steemit myself 🤣 I can truly appreciate you wishing to explore fully your artistic talents.

Thanks my man. And the music! Such a freedom, and he's right Jerry, Mr. Coffee here gonna be the next Steemit Got Talent Superstar! ;)

Very well put indeed @enginewitty, I completely agree with you.
@jerrybanfield I cannot help but think that something in your life has gone drastically wrong to have produced such content as you did, not a good move from a top witness, it just makes steemit look wrong in the scheme of things.
I hope you removal and time out will give you some time to seek some sort of help and support which I think you may need right now.

@crazybgadventure put into words what I am not able to do. I was very angry over some of your content, but this social network community we call the STEEM blockchain is marketed many times as being uncensored.

I am in full agreement @jerrybanfield with other commenters here, that you may wish to seek out spiritual or mental health counseling. I perceive that of late you have been very self-destructive. If you need help please do as you have shared that you have done in the past. Find counseling.

I wish nothing but good things for you and your family, but you must come first @jerrybanfield. If not you are no good to yourself, your family or anyone else for that matter. You will just become a burden, and I don't believe you want that to happen.

How do I know these things? Well, ask around. Many of us battle inner demons everyday.

This user is on the @buildawhale blacklist for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Spam

  • Scam or Fraud

Classic.Witness on the blacklist lol

Jerry is not scam. Jerry promotes Steemit. So, unless if Steemit is a scam, Jerry is only a byproduct of Steemit and things like that.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

This (you know what) just proves @jerrybanfield got some things right in his rant against "that thing we can't talk about". Sadly I disagree a bit with jerry, we need "that thing we can't talk about" or better way around it.

Meh, steemit it's slowly turning into reddit with benefits, can't say I'm sad about it.

And hes right, you know? I was able to understand the potential of steemit becouse of Jerry's videos, seriously if you start digging into steem, you will eventually find one of his videos, like it or not the guy did a good job promoting steemit and had the bal*s to talk about "that thing we can't talk about". :D

JUST! Don't push him to hard, if he starts removing the videos about steem... it'll be bad for us.

plz don't use "that thing" on me senpai, here's a cool meme:

please-dont-kill-me.jpg

Total transparency and honesty is absolutely what is missing in our world - trusting the source of creation is an automatically inspiring choice. <3

I hesitantly watched the beginning of the video... and... good for you! Good for Steem!

I look forward to less drama on steem and hope this is less drama in your life and you're happier.

I will be witness 100 NOW!!! (until other witnesses update their nodes)


Good luck Jerry, I wish you lot's of success with music :)

Good luck with your future projects.

Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do.
