its not real money until it's in my fiat bank account

Nothing is real brotha :)

What's this I see? The acts of a coward and a thief, hiding the truth without legitimately explaining to ALL of US how my theories are wrong. And doing it with the money he is stealing from the newcomers.
Classless if ever it was! Let me help you with your mission to hide the truth, don't forget to go to this comment on your YouTube channel and flag that as well. You're welcome. You still can't stop me.
Hey @craig-grant.... do you abuse your wife and kids simply because you can? I don't thinks so. Why? Because you love and respect them. Yet you have no problem abusing steemit, and the users within, simply because you can. Why? Because you love money, and will do anything for it - including defrauding the system by doing exactly what I am accusing you of. Convince people to join and invest their hard earned money into it, then flagging their content when it's successful/profitable/calling you out on your "crimes", then constantly upvoting your own content so you can drain most of that money you've convinced everyone to invest in the first place.
But oh, I guess it's completely ethical because the system allows you to abuse it & you've been investing every day sine mid-2016. Yeah, you keep telling yourself that buddy. It's not like this is the only spot I can expose you, and just because you're convinced it's legal and right simply because this system lets you do it doesn't mean LEO and the FBI will agree with you. Have fun with that.
Below we see the act of a coward with something to hide, attempting to destroy and account claiming to expose his potentially criminal activities rather than confronting the issue and explaining exactly (in legit and technical terms) how I am wrong and he is in the right. By smashing my Reputation down from 41 (obtained in just 2 weeks, that's pretty impressive I must say) to 5, you're only supporting my claims even further.

The "system called life" allows me to break into your home and steal your junk (it's only illegal if I get caught), and by your own standards this is perfectly ethical and should be done simply because I can. Life doesn't restrict me from doing so, there are no invisible walls or anything preventing me from doing it whether it's right or wrong. "Hypothetically" and "theoretically" speaking, of course.

There is a big problem, imo, & it is not with crypto and blockchains themselves. I support breaking free from the criminal Feds as much as I believe in my fight against these malicious Whales.
The problem is with the potential abuse designed into the configuration of specifically the steem blockchain itself. It's almost as if all those people who got in on it early to mid-2016 new within a year they would be able to con others into joining and investing fully knowing they could use their high flag and self-upvoting power to suck out all of that new crypto invested into the rewards pool by unsuspecting newcomers.
If steemit would do something to prevent such actions I would say they were a good corporation (Steemit Inc.). Yet, from my observations, they have only increased the ability for these Whales to abuse it while decreasing any ability the newcomers could have from actually achieving anything spectacular. I just don't understand how they don't get their actions of tricking people to join and invest only to flag the newcomer's successful posts and upvoting themselves is really a simple case of 99% of said rewards pool going to these guys, leaving scraps for the rest of us.
It's a complicated issue which I hope can soon be resolved without destroying the site and corporation (Steemit Inc.) itself. Yet I doubt it.
I tried. Not for fame or profit but to save others from falling for this scam.
I hope he finds no joy in the fireworks show he and his wife are putting on tonight, purchased with the funds he conned from some newcomers who now probably have no funds to enjoy the holiday themselves.

Well... I beg to differ. If one is an idiot, a fool, and has no concept of value and what the meaning of "spam" vs "original content" is then one can give him whatever they want to. It's like he's having a party, and those upvoting this crap are the ones responsible for bringing the anal lube.

Yeah and thousands of people working on their content for hours aren't even earning $1, that's really fair buddy.

He's a very charismatic scam artist, you can find out what I mean by taking a look at this article attempting to expose what he's up to. No upvote requested (if you felt so inclined), though I would appreciate a resteem.
