RE: Response To Jerry Banfield’s Exit From STEEM

in #steem6 years ago

Hey brotha I hope you get that 35th position as a Witness and be able to manage that Node. I know you would do an excellent job.

I have mixed feelings about Jerry. He really is a good guy. But he tried too hard to make a dent with Steemit as well as Joe Parys. Where they went wrong was sometimes mentioning the MMO niche and how to make quick money. That was never going to go over well here with some of the big whales.

Also thanks for the shoot out. I think what I mentioned in my post transcends life itself. And that is never be presumptions about a person because some day their Life could change.

A quick story of this example outside Steemit : My best friend in the world lives in Nashville .He got rear ended and injured in his truck. He went to law firm of Bart Durham there to see if he could get money with a lawsuit. My friend came home and told me about this meeting with Durham's Attorney Office. He wasn't really impressed. He said this paraillgal assistant came up to him asking questions. He was an ungainly, goofy looking guy with no neck. And my friend said this guy was talking about doing modeling gigs in the past. My friend pretty much laughed to himself at this goof ball becuase he did not look like a model at all. Just really nerdy looking.

So fast forward one year later and my best friend was sitting in a Movie theater watching Road Trip. And low and behold guesse who he saw on the big screen ?? That goof ball paralegal assistance at the law firm he went to one year earlier. Seems like the guy went out to Hollwood and made it semi-big over the years. with Road Trip being his first. Watch the clip and see if you can guess this guy. Not hard lol

Sort:  

Man! I loved the movie road trip! I loved that guy and his Atari shirt and 75lb soaking wet build. LOL

That is a crazy story about your friend but a very important lesson. I have mixed feelings about Jerry as well. I just think the Online money making is a tough way to pitch it to people but that is the most compelling in a lot of ways.

He hasn't gotten back to me yet but he has posted several more videos on his channel but those might have been set to auto upload while he was gone with his family for labor day because it doesn't look like he has replied to many of the comments.

We will see but it is kind of like the guy in Road Trip. He didn't let his build or goofiness dictate whether he went for his dream of being an actor. If Jerry doesn't go for it then I'm not going to trip out at all. I will just do what I'm working on now and even gravitate more of my focus on EOS.
