Dude,
Just about everyone who is on Steemit knows about you, The Famous 
Image source: https://steemitimages.com/u/berniesanders/avatar
On Discord it is a name that many are afraid to mention. Believe it or not, with some dose of fear some people do actually mention you without any @ symbol in front of your name and often with some dose of "humor" after they make mention of your username as a back up, like a CYA = "Cover Your Ass"!!!!
Now, I've seen a number of your posts pop up here on Steemit, I've seen chit chat about what all you are or aren't doing, and so on.
You know, my personal opinion is as follows:
There is a person who stands behind this username and this person is an individual. So what ever it is that you wish to do, what ever it is that you wish to prove, what ever you believe should be done etc etc etc as far as you expressing yourself and making your point = "your thing".
Your wall = Your right to use as an individual.
I reckon that you are trying to make a valid and real point about real issues!
Now, obviously, some people feel intimidated with your actions here.
This to me says "This guy is no minnow"!
However, what I am about to get to is something that many people may be thinking, based on some of the comments I've read on your posts.
Dude,
I am using a means of communication that you practice here on Steemit, an open and public post with a clear tag/mention of the person to whom it is addressed to!
In your last post, you clearly stated that you shall be "burning" all income from that post.
"

(Go ahead and flag this one too, moron.)
(Profits from this will be burned, even though I'm paying for votes.)

Now, you probably think that you know, or have a general idea where I am going with this.
No, I'm not asking you to give me that money.
No, I'm not asking you to give it to any of the projects out there.
No, I'm not asking you to do anything unless you yourself decide to do it.
What I am going to do is literally BEG you, here and now, as a person, to think about the potential good that you could do with this money.
There are numerous people, profiles and groups who have organized charity fundraisers here on Steemit.
Heck, I ran otwo for like 5 months, that's how long it took to make them happen, and they together were for a lower amount of money than what your post listed here shall get paid out.
There are many people here on Steemit who are busting their ..... chops..... to write some damn good posts.
Man, I'm no writer, I sure as anything am no grammar nazi, I literally say what I think and pay the price for it. But there are very talented people here on Steemit who would literally feel like they won the State Lottery if someone would give them a big boost via a killer upvote or possibly an upvote via a votebot paid for from funds that are "going to waste".
Now when I say "going to waste", we both understand that burning has its place in the process, however the term "BURNING" sucks man.... I mean it sounds like some pyromaniac is out on the loose, or even worse, like the funds are going to "HELL" where they shall burn in fire, brimstone, lava and who knows what else is going on down there. Basically when you say "I'm going to BURN these funds" it = "they're going to waste" for all the people who have never hit anywhere near the amount you are BURNING for their posts. I understand, your money, your right to do with them as you wish. That is why I'm not telling you or asking you to do anything except to read this post to the end and sleep it over!
IDK if you read the comments on your last post, some people are really expressing some disturbing points of views and this concerns me. I have been working hard at it here and I have made progress, not a whale yet, far from it, but I can't complain. In fact I am full of adrenaline and hope, I have a damn good gut feeling about Steem, SBD and Steemit.
I seriously believe that you should consider the possibilities of using these funds to make some peoples day, to literally make a real difference for someone, or some charity fundraising effort.
Don't get me wrong mate, what ever you do with your funds is your thing, but if I left this to myself I would have always wondered "What if?" and after all, we are talking like people who are allowed to think things over, consider changes to our plans and do things in ways that we consider to be logical.
Like I said earlier, some don't see the logic with what you are doing, some fear your name as if you are some beelzebub type of character or who knows what. Dude, I fully support your right to your individuality and that is why I'm not asking you to do anything except to consider this angle!
Man, if anyone on this earth has had his fair share of f...ups, I am right up there with Bart Simpson!
Most of them were done when I was trying to push something without thinking about it.
Anger, pride, stubbornness are all the things that stood behind 99% of the things I did that could have been done better.
So, if there is anything that I can talk about, it is this!
I'm no smartass, I'm no writer, I'm no angel or saint, but lets admit it, if there is anything I can do is to ask someone to not go down that road I went and to reconsider their future actions!
As far as the other stuff goes..... all the power to ya.
Dude, wish you a G'day and hope that this letter serves it purpose.
If not, at least I tried!
PS. To everyone else out there, If I don't post anything in the next 48 hours, then the curse of
;)
Yours sincerely
Jack
PS. All the funds raised here shall be added to the next fundraising effort my family has for one of the good will/charity causes out there in the real world!
Don't want the money from this post for myself.
