2/26 ANDY HOFFMAN (CryptoGoldCentral.com) - ALEX JONES AND STEEMIT, THE PERFECT COMBINATION

I am as close to a "Bitcoin Maximalist" as you can find, given my belief that 95% of altcoins are money grabs with either no use case, or one that will ultimately be subsumed by Bitcoin. That said, I have long likened altcoins to late 90s dotcoms - in which most miserably fail, but a handful end up long-term winners; in some cases, with greater upside potential, in percentage terms, than Bitcoin itself.

One of the few altcoins I see such potential in is Steem - as discussed in several articles on my private content blog, and my public interview with Kenn Bosak last month (https://steemit.com/andyhoffman/@andyhoffman/1-25-andy-hoffman-cryptogoldcentral-com-one-on-one-episode-20-w-guest-kenn-bosak).

The reason being, that given the censorship I have seen at YouTube from my 15 years in the status-quo-hating Precious Metals sector - which I deserted last summer, in favor of cryptocurrency; not to mention, the arbitrary demonetization of YouTube content - which clearly, the "powers that be" disapprove of; it's my view that non-censurable content sites like Steemit have significant upside potential - as competitors of YouTube; and perhaps, "acquisition targets" of those with enough centralization to negotiate "deals."

In the specific case of Steemit, it unquestionably is the alternative media leader in crypto-currency related public content. In other words, it ALREADY is a significant YouTube competitor in the crypto space - ESPECIALLY because, if people like your content, they can upvote it - and thus, award you Steem and Steem-Backed Dollars - which in turn, you can hold, sell, or trade for other cryptocurrencies.

This is a powerful motivator of content creators, particularly those who don't podcast but write, given that YouTube only monetizes videos. Moreover, Steemit's use, in and of itself, represents powerful political and economic statements - to Google, and CENTRALIZED authorities who are powerless to manipulate, regulate, or otherwise hinder Steemit's DECENTRALIZED growth.

To that end, it has come to my attention - in Adam Meister's awesome podcast last night (https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@bitcoinmeister/the-1-bitcoin-show-bprivate-update-brhodium-new-hardware-wallet-bittrex-zclassic-the-80) that Alex Jones had several videos deleted this week by YouTube due to Google's arbitrary disapproval of the content - in this case, related to the recent Parkland, Florida shooting (https://betanews.com/2018/02/24/youtube-pulls-alex-jones-infowars-video/).

Jones is as angry as he has ever been; and apparently, CNN and other Mainstream news organizations are trying to get Google to take down other "controversial" Jones podcast - which it slanderously labels "conspiracy theories." Given that Jones' YouTube channel has 2.2 million subscribers, he could lose millions of dollars if Google "drops" him - which, given the cozy nature of Google's relationship with the U.S. government - which clearly views Jones as a threat (ask Hillary Clinton); is a distinct possibility.

Clearly, there is a MAJOR political and economic opportunity here - as if Jones leaves YouTube for Steemit, he would INSTANTLY become its biggest draw - and legitimize Steemit so powerfully, it could alter the alternative AND mainstream media landscapes for years to come. Plus, if he were wise enough to get off of the fence about crypto and embrace it, he could be a powerful marketing tool for not only Steem and Steem-Backed Dollars, but Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies - in the process, making him far richer than he could ever get from the dollars YouTube pays him.

Thus, I pose a challenge to everyone reading this article - particularly those passionate about Steemit, cryptocurrency, and freedom. TELL ALEX JONES, in every manner of communication possible, to MOVE HIS PODCAST OPERATIONS TO STEEMIT...NOW!
