I got way into Steem in 2017 and 2018 becoming one of the top witnesses and biggest promoters of the platform because we collectively really need decentralized social media. In June 2018, I discovered that the Steemit Inc development team didn't believe in their own product and the price was going to crash soon given all the Steem they were selling. I sold out and warned everyone of what was to come before the Steemit Inc team sold to Tron and the price crashed as low as $0.10 from $4.
Since then I have been keeping an eye on Hive and as far as I can tell, this is the top decentralized social media platform. If I'm wrong about that, I would love to know what is! After spending most of 2018 to 2022 as a full time gamer and streamer, I recently got demonetized on Facebook because, according to them, me changing my race from white to black is "hate speech" which has reminded me of how important decentralized social media is.
I've been looking into the best cryptocurrency for me to get involved with and am seeing that Hive might be it if you are interested in having me focus here again and grow the community via sharing to my millions of followers online on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, etc.
Unlike last time I jumped in, I intend to first check with the community before buying thousands of dollars of Hive and, if you are interested in working me me, to make this a long term commitment through the ups and downs of the platform. If you would like me to start promoting Hive again, I am available to start slowly now and work towards making a proposal while bringing in tens of thousands of new users over the next year or two.
I appreciate you reading this and look forward to your feedback!
Love,
Jerry Banfield
Hi Jerry, its nice to see you back and it would be great if you promoted Hive more.
Your campaign on Facebook and Youtube promoting Hive in later 2017 to early 2018 was very successful. I've analysed its success in detail.
However you forget one thing in you description above. Facebook's Crypto Ad ban is what stopped your promotion of Steem on Facebook and the Steem price immediately tanked.
New user signups and all the relevant social media metrics also dropped precipitiously after the Ad Ban.
They were already much much lower by June 2018.
Fortunately I'm now bringing them to justice for this illegal behaviour. The #CryptoClassAction is moving forward now after a slow beginning. You can see details on the @jpbliberty blog.
I'd love to get in contact directly to discuss further.
Can you please send me your contact details in an encrypted Hive message?
Yeah come on back Jerry. You onboarded a ton of users and were entertaining. I didn't agree with all the stuff but oh well. At least it was a fun time.
Are you the guy who had it out with other witnesses over your method of promotion? If you are, I seem to recall that several of the other witnesses ganged up on you and began downvoting you when you started predicting the fall. Was that you?
At any rate, I'd like to invite you to join @unklebonehead and I on Discord at 11 a.m. EST next Tuesday September 20 as we discuss Hive. If you show up, we'll let you speak and may even interview you about what you like about Hive. Today, same time, we'll be discussing criteria for judging Web3 social platforms and whether they're worth anyone's time to explore. You can show up for that too, if you want. But we'd really like to hear your reflections on Hive.
Hello Jerry i still know you from Steem, and as far as I know pretty all serious Steemians are now on Hive. Because of the lack of the cooperate stake Hive is more decentralized as Steem Wich is a very good thing. I stopped posting on Steem and transitioned to Hive because of the community. Hive is was Steem dreamed to be but never archived. And as a long-term investment i think it will succeed, because of developers,games, community but no one can guarantee this of course.
As a testament, even Dan Larimer has returned and is on Hive now.
If I had the money to invest, I probably would right now while the price is good. I remember your work back in the Steemit days, you should definitely do it for Hive.
I think we will get a chance lower! We shall see but that’s my take. The entire economy is about to collapse and crypto is fallowing the major stock indexes for over a year now generally speaking. Hive can easily go back to retest .41 cents as it did months back but I think .40 is more certain and that’s where I’m adding if it comes. Cheers friends
hi!
I am your follower from Steemit
After your warning I took all my savings out of steemit and left.
I am now playing Splinterlands because the game is very good and I used to play the game in the past.
I believe that Hive is going to go high as well as Splinterlands because of no transaction fees and high community help!
Glad to hear that you are coming back to blockchain again! I could remember all your posts and strong upvotes. Yup! We need more people blogging on Hive!! But I do wonder how to remain feasible in the long run as their legal oppressions are looming for total control of all financial aspects and freedom.
Well, you definitely know it better than newbies. We are getting noticed.
You did a good job on Steemit. Hope to do well in Hive too
Hive is the platform then. While sampling a couple of advice, I finally decided on hive and as such,am happy I choosed it.
Hey Jerry!
Bringing in new users to Hive is always a good initiative since we have a lot to offer. You mentioned decentralization but also the great community and a the tons of Apps to work with (3Speak, Splinterlands, PeakD, aso).
👍🏻 I would support your proposal if it is sustainable and in line with „Hive Spirit“.
Regards from Germany

Any initiative to bring new users is of course very welcome. But seems there are still old haters around. So you have to decide if you want to restart despite of some headwinds.
I can understand the critical replies when he’s wanting to be paid 3K a month to do it. No disrespect meant as I didn’t know his stuff back then but it’s a weird look. Just being honest.
Indeed. Better to offer something first for free to proof it is working.
Welcome back, Jerry! 👏 I learned how to trade crypto from your videos. 🙏 I remember your contribution to Steem very fondly. It would be great to have you, your knowledge, and your energy back on Hive. 👍
So now you wanna selfpromote your shit here? Go do everyone a favor and do it on Steem...
You will not earn a single cent from posting here. Go try. We will downvote you to zero every single time... We do not forget.
Don't come back!
This is the first time of commenting on your post, I can see that a few weeks ago you left Hive because of the self-centred member down-voting members.
You have a good point there and I hope Hive will check this out and take the necessary steps to avoid down-voting so that we won't be losing our content creators.
In conclusion, I welcome you back to Hive and I'm hoping to learn from you as a newbie.
My feedback is GET LOST.
Everybody deserves a second chance!
Sounds like there is some history there.
