Oh boy, hahaha.
I was a YouTube Bitcoin prognosticator myself! Technically, I still am. It's just that nobody has heard of me. I started advocating Bitcoin in 2013, saying it was going to $50, then $1000, then $4000, possibly to $1M eventually. People said I was literally crazy, stupid, foolish, dangerous, and so on. But I was totally right, and I even made several flawless price predictions and created a lot of Bitcoin millionaires. To this day I haven't made a bad call, despite making about 150 videos and blog posts on the topic over the years.
So it's funny to see nobodies like this shmuck come along during the recent 2017 spike, set up channels talking BS, and getting a million subscribers. I'm still under 9000. My information may not be polished, but it's right. I do it for people who care about information being right, not just loud and flashy.
Steem may be doomed, but it's not totally dead yet, and there's hope. If it does, I don't think it's as simple as blaming "the bots".
Steem on :)
