Code: - Shit, I want that cap/T-shirt and pen Anyway, congratulations to all the winners. Enjoy the BTCC swag/coins!

From the ten pictures I have seen this definitely should have won. Anyway, congratulations to all the winners. Enjoy the BTCC swag/coins! Thanks, appreciated :) Title: Re: BTCC Bitcoin Collectible Photo Contest: View the Amazing Winning Images Post by: BTCC_Official on November 01, 2016, 02:24:44 PM Transcript of what I thought when going through the pictures: Code: - Shit, I want that cap/T-shirt and pen Anyway, congratulations to all the winners. Enjoy the BTCC swag/coins! Hi, the contest wasn’t restricted to BTCC collectibles. The second- and sixth-place prizes went to photos with Casascius coins in them, and the seventh-place prize winner was holding NastyFans coins. Title: Re: BTCC Bitcoin Collectible Photo Contest: View the Amazing Winning Images Post by: coin@coin on November 01, 2016, 02:31:27 PM Oh WOW what can I say, I'm humbled... it's the first time I ever won anything! And a 1 BTCC coin is definitely a worthy prize BTCBTCBTC ;D
Also thanks to BTCC for organizing this, hope we'll see more such competitions in the future. Everyone can take pictures and it's a fun way to spend some time finding the right spot. As for my entry it was taken on a Samsung Galaxy S6 (on a tripod), this shows that it's not the fancy equipment but the idea that counts sometimes. Of course better cameras can produce amazing results too. However the best camera is the one that is always with you. :) This made my day... Actually my week! PS: Congrats to everyone else too, hopefully we'll see even more participation in the future.

Enjoy the BTCC swag/coins! I noticed the well known authentic "blazed table". If that table could speak about the coins lying on that table over the years, then would it tell grand stories :D Title: Re: BTCC Bitcoin Collectible Photo Contest: View the Amazing Winning Images Post by: Lauda on November 01, 2016, 03:31:31 PM - Lincoln6Echo is second, nice. Lincoln6Echo has finally shown their true face. ... Wondering if "Samantha" is how the average female bitcoin user looks like :D I know a certain someone from Slack who would not mind. :-XFunny enough, that is what I mentioned in the email with my submission: wanted to show the contrast between "The Old Finance" and "The New Finance". Go Bitcoin! Just in time for a nice bull run!!! :) Very Bitcoin friendly background with Citibank and HSBC. :DFor some reason the pictures loaded very slowly. Title: Re: BTCC Bitcoin Collectible Photo Contest: View the Amazing Winning Images Post by: coin@coin on November 01, 2016, 04:27:32 PM What is that BTCC gold coin the 9th place winner is holding? I need it. BTCC produced some prototype coins before releasing the Titanium ones. I believe that is a plated coin. It was featured in their Aprils Fools video: Bitcoin Mining Documentary Aired in China (2m30s mark) https://youtu.be/30rvfroRHTY?t=2m30s https://i.imgur.com/SdW3zyc.png Title: Re: BTCC Bitcoin Collectible Photo Contest: View the Amazing Winning Images Post by: Lincoln6Echo on November 01, 2016, 05:19:58 PM Uhhh Doggie is very happy right now!

Hopefully he/she won't peel it anytime soon :) yeah this kind of doggie is not really made for posing because they hate not to move so it was really difficult to get a clear picture. She would never peel a coin.
