Join me, Danny de Hek—better known as The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger—for a special YouTube live event where I’ll answer key questions about what I would do differently if I were starting my YouTube channel from scratch today. Alongside my co-host, Rob Woolley, we’ll dive deep into my journey, from shaming Ponzi scheme promoters to building a channel that creates public awareness to protect everyday investors from the predatory tactics of multilevel marketing scammers.

Are you thinking about starting a YouTube channel, or already have one and wondering what it takes to succeed? We’ll be discussing a variety of topics including how to monetize your channel, what gear and software to use, and strategies for growing your audience in 2024. If I could go back and start my YouTube channel over, these are the things I’d focus on.

Here are some of the questions Rob will be asking me during the live event:
What were you originally planning on doing videos on?
What changed and made you focus on crypto scams?
How long did it take you to get monetized?
What’s been the most important factor in building your channel?
How many views do you expect per video now?
How much money do you make from your channel?
If crypto wasn’t your focus, what would you choose to cover?
Why didn’t you stick with your original idea for the channel?
What kind of camera do you use, and what are your thoughts on it?
What’s your setup when it comes to microphones?
Do you use a mixer, and if so, what’s your take on it?
What editing software do you use, and how has it helped you?
What kind of computer do you use for editing and managing your channel?
How important is lighting, and what do you recommend?
Do you use a green screen, and why or why not?
Do you actively promote your channel, and if so, how?
Does your channel promote anything outside of YouTube?
What’s the best thing making videos has brought to your life?
What’s something you haven’t yet done with your YouTube channel?
Have you worked on anything outside of YouTube, and how has that gone?
What’s been your biggest fear as a YouTuber?
What’s your biggest frustration?
What drives you to keep going—what’s the one goal you’re striving to achieve?
If you're a content creator or someone thinking about starting a YouTube channel, this live event will give you an inside look at the lessons I’ve learned while building The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger channel. Tune in, ask questions, and learn from my experiences on how to navigate the world of YouTube in 2024!

In this video, I share the unfortunate experience of being removed as a speaker from the upcoming DeCult 2024 Conference, despite already being publicly announced as part of the program. After receiving an email from Anke Richter, the event's director, explaining the decision, I felt compelled to respond publicly.

This decision was made after members of the ex-Jehovah’s Witness (JW) community raised concerns about my inclusion in the event, resulting in DeCult's decision to retract my speaking slot. The reasoning? Concerns that my participation would keep a large portion of the ex-JW community from attending. While I understand the need to consider the audience’s comfort and safety, I believe this situation has been handled unfairly, as no one from DeCult approached me directly to hear my side of the story.

In this video, I speak with Dennis Parker, one of the event co-organizers, via Zoom, where I express my frustration and disbelief at how this has unfolded. I’ve always aimed to use my platform to expose harmful organizations like Jehovah’s Witnesses, raising awareness of cult practices and helping people break free from controlling environments. I believe it’s ironic that DeCult, an organization dedicated to exposing harmful cults, is shunning me in a manner all too similar to the cult-like behavior we seek to expose.

I’ve been deeply involved in exposing cults for years and have even done a successful interview with Lara Kaput, which DeCult themselves promoted.

Yet, despite this, more recent accusations have come forward that I’ve never had a chance to address with the organizers. It feels like an entire community has made a decision about me based on misinformation, and I wasn’t even given a platform to defend myself.

Additionally, Rob Woolley, a colleague and respected figure from the Toastmasters and Rotary communities, wrote a heartfelt letter in support of me to Dennis Parker. In this letter, Rob highlights my professionalism and my ability to handle controversial topics with grace and humor. However, Dennis claims that this letter wasn’t passed on to Anke, leaving me even more perplexed as to how this situation has been handled.

Key Points in This Video:

- I share the email from DeCult Director Anke Richter explaining their decision to remove me as a speaker due to concerns raised by the ex-Jehovah’s Witness community.
- My conversation with Dennis Parker, where I plead for a meeting with the DeCult committee to address these concerns and have my voice heard.
- My feelings of being treated unfairly and shunned, similar to the behavior cults impose on their members, ironically by an organization meant to fight against cult practices.
- A heartfelt letter from Rob Woolley supporting my character, professionalism, and ability to handle controversial topics, which was not passed on to the decision-makers.

I believe everyone should have the chance to tell their side of the story before decisions like these are made. In this video, I ask for your feedback and invite you to share your thoughts on how this situation has been handled. Do you believe this decision was justified, or do you think I should have been given the chance to present my side of the story to the DeCult committee?

Your input is valuable to me, and I encourage you to engage in the conversation. Let’s stand up against censorship, hypocrisy, and the very cult-like practices we’re working to expose.
