Good

All is not lost, whoever is determined will get their way.

"A ponzi scheme is able to work if no one doubts it". No shit, they doubt it because it isn't a working concept

In order for Steem to be a security the interest has to come from the effort of others. The Howie test is supposed to be what determines if something is or isn't a security. 

See [here](http://consumer.findlaw.com/securities-law/what-is-the-howey-test.html):



> The SEC sued the defendants over these transactions, claiming that they broke the law by not filing a securities registration statement. The Supreme Court, in issuing its decision finding that the defendants' leaseback agreement is a form of security, developed a landmark test for determining whether certain transactions are investment contracts (and thus subject to securities registration requirements). Under the Howey Test, a transaction is an investment contract if:

- It is an investment of money
- There is an expectation of profits from the investment
- The investment of money is in a common enterprise
- Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party

Common Enterprise [defined:](https://definitions.uslegal.com/c/common-enterprise/)
> In the context of an investment contract, a “common enterprise” is defined as an enterprise in which the fortunes of the investor are interwoven with and dependent upon the efforts and success of those offering or selling the investment or of third parties.

I don't know if Steem Power is a security but because it's an algorithm behind it rather than efforts of promoters or any specific employees it likely isn't one.  The profit if it comes from an algorithm is guaranteed only by math. The other question is what would be the common enterprise? Steemit Inc?

If and only if Bitconnect really had a bot then they could not be a security but we never saw the bot which means it very well could have been one guy with a laptop.

Quit taking shit from all these morons who bought into the pyramid/ponzi schemes Craig.  I watched just one of you videos on STEEM and already realized you were an arrogant dipshit.  So I un-followed you and never looked back.  Just because the rest lost some money cuz they believed you, is on THEM.  If they aren't smart enough to know a scam when they see it then economic Darwinism should take its course!  Same goes for these idiots who are trying to bring a class action against Bitconnect.  I hope they get nothing and probably won't anyway!!  Cheers

I have listened to you for about 6 months.   Just a humble  thought - Perhaps if you upvoted more people you may not get flagged as much.  Wishing you well Craig.  Stay in the flow.  PS: Yes I think SP is a security.

I love this video it make sense

Great video from a great talented man ...thanks ks i support you all the time![DQmeEJPA9keDEjaTVmZMsHgbxKScfL7cPvRxVKoPQVYiYa8.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZtgCU3oGFtPsp1n2g2CjVhCnaRf5DjJK17xoZ8RQMcYx/DQmeEJPA9keDEjaTVmZMsHgbxKScfL7cPvRxVKoPQVYiYa8.jpeg)

I’ll take my loss as I need to be

Thanks,

So he is happy for bitconnect to go $3 ??

Diversify. Bitconnect was only 5% of my portfolio.

Steemit is indeed more a governance platform than a social network. I believe an EOS Steemit clone may try to find a balance between the two. I'll talk about that later in the Daily Dose today. An EOS clone might just save you from your trailer home! ... until then Steem on! ;)

Good to see you back, people must just use there brains, think for yourself.
Glad you back. I haven't done a post of steem over 6 months crazy how lazy I became, no excuse. so I just did a quick Halloween post. https://steemit.com/life/@muks/come-back-halloween-2017

Nice

Wow: I though you ragequit.

Hey @craig-grant I actually made a post about this very topic earlier today, I actually referenced @trevonjb as opposed to you but same message. I'd actually encourage you to read it as I think it's bigger than you and Trevon, it's about Steemit itself...

https://steemit.com/steemit/@rulesforrebels/while-i-m-not-a-fan-of-trevonjb-i-think-we-should-think-long-and-hard-about-ganging-up-on-people-on-steemit

In the post I basically say while I get that everyone hates you guys, and while I will say the way you guys made your money isn't really admirable, I think the Steemit community ganging up on people to run them off Steemit is a slippery slope. 

Just look at how r/Bitcoin and r/BTC will downvote anyone who doesn't agree with them and that's not healthy for debate.

If your making Bitconnect or Davor videos I'm all for people downvoting you as I think that's spammy and scammy and I don't think its good for Steemit or the crypto community but if you wanna make normal content I don't really think its right for everyone to run you off of here and the reason being because it's a slippery slope. Today we run off Trevon and Craig but tomorrow someone says something we disagree with and then hey we ran off Trevon and Craig lets run this guy off as well. Where does it stop.

Ow my god. Nice vid dude.

I like your video . Good luck @craig-grant

I was telling Trevon the same thing...for now your reputation took a hit because you both are smart enough to know what bitcoin, ethereum, dash, monero ect are...so you should of known Bitconnect was a scam, but that referral money and price increase was too juicy and life changing to avoid. I say whoever watched your videos and then invested into BCC is an idiot, personally I do A LOT of research before putting money into ANYTHING..so shame on them...

You're doing what I told Trevon to do, decline payouts, upvote legit comments (not the copy and paste spam) and move forward like that. Eventually youll wipe the red off your ledger and living minimally is a smart way to not have to sell your crypto.

Good luck, declining payouts will aid in getting your reputation up, off to the next spaceship

what u mean is you want to be on the run worse case scenario.  Just refund your downline give them their money back and stop pretending you are poor.

yo craig i miss ur videos bro lol... these flags are ridiculous

Craig, I think that it takes balls to stand up for what you believe in and be open to people. Really sad to see you are taking flags and people like heajin are raping 4.5 mil a year here. At least you speak out and you arent afraid to be yourself ♡ 

Cheers much love and I wish you a happy 14th of feb.

Craig, write a book about your life. I think it's interesting. Even people who do not like you, might want to read your story. Keep it truthful, so people can understand your journey, like you or not. I'd read it.
