1  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: 📖🎂 [Closed for New Entries] Cloudbet’s Bitcoin Blogiversary Competition 🎂 📖 on: May 14, 2019, 09:27:02 PM
Good morning all!

After much deliberation, soul searching, and heated arguments over who used the last of the coffee, our content team have finally picked their top three favourites!  Cheesy

Jokes aside this one really was tough to choose. We got a huge amount of really well thought out suggestions from both Bitcointalk and Twitter, and we want to reassure you that we’re not discarding the ones that didn’t make it to the top three. We promise we’ll get to work and try and answer all the other questions in the future. Our pick of winners are just the first ones.

The competition may be over, but our work goes on. And we want you along for the ride.

Now, without further ado, the winners!


The winners (0.07 BTC each!):

Wendigo - "Crypto sports sponsorship - the biggest deals"

@CryptoStatioN - "How are stablecoins stable? Why some of them sometimes lose their value if they are supposed to be stable? Why not just use bitcoin?"

@Fergielici0us - "What are atomic swaps? Can blockchain talk to each other?"


I'll be cracking the whip in the writers room and soon we should be publishing one of these articles weekly  Wink


As mentioned above this one was very nearly too close to call, so we also have a few runners up that just missed out on making the cut. I'll be contacting them soon to offer a choice of bonus on either our sportsbook or casino:

@mgulla7 - "If I die, how can my daughters inherit my cryptos?"

@danchamz - "What creates value for Cryptocurrencies? What factors are responsible for the variation in the prices of different crytpos."

chelsea93 - "Sound money and it's primary aspects. What is money and it's features. Like liquidity, Inflationary/Deflationary, Demand/Supply, ease of use etc."


There were also a couple of strong specific suggestions from very knowledgeable people, and we plan to reach out to those community members privately in the near future to discuss having them write on the subjects for us as paid guest writers, given their own insight into the subject matter:

mcplums2 - "Is bitcoin's simplicity, its lack of features and its resistance to change, a good thing? Are these features or bugs?"

iphro - "How small states can integrate their M2 economies through blockchain to escape the effects touted by World systems/Dependency theory."

CryptoSmith1 - "How is blockchain becoming cleaner and greener, with regard to the energy consumption of cryptomining, data centers, servers, etc.?"


A huge thanks to everyone that took part and submitted suggestions for the blog, and for your belief in crypto as part of a better future. You should all be proud. All of this - and us here at Cloudbet - wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.

We have already started planning next month's competition, so keep an eye on our Cloudbet thread for details soon!

Have a great day!

Ronnie @ Cloudbet




My first crypto job! Super! Grin Grin Grin

@iphro - That's very cool, I'd love to have a read if you could send us a link when you have it published! Stablecoins have been growing in popularity recently, at least as far as the press coverage I've seen. What were your thoughts on the recent Tether controversy?
 

@ Ronnie Cloudbet



Tether has always been a controversial item in the immutable ecosystem, I think this is mainly because of their proof of reserve methodology and it's inconsistency in reporting.
.
.
.
The value of USDT  is derived from the underlying asset backing it and it's redeemability through Tethers international wire transfer service. I believe those reports of Tether being backed by only  74% of Fiat reserves comes from their inability to account for Tethers that have been redeemed and not deleted. I recall there is no designated burn address for USDT, so we have no Idea as to what is backed and unbacked. Therefore I think their proof of reserve system needs to be updated to account for the redeemed Tethers so that users can differentiate backed and unbacked tokens.
.
.
.
Other than that, I think as a community, we need to judge Tether(the company) on their ability to honor token redemptions.

1. My favorite article: https://www.cloudbet.com/en/blog/in-the-cloud/11131-why-matter-matters-how-blockchain-will-bridge-the-gap-between-physical-and-digital

2. For my suggestion: I would like to see an article on how small states can integrate their M2 economies through blockchain to escape the effects touted by World systems/Dependency theory.

P.S I'm writing a white paper with this notion for a stablecoin I'm working on.

Next time, post the contest rules in the topic, please.
And if this is a link to the rules, then use a font at least 20 pixels and highlight the background(Glow)
example:

RULES

not this:

RULES



The rules can always be placed in the topic, and for marketing move, use for example the mandatory indication of a personal unique nickname from your site for each contest`s participant.

P.S. Request to reporters: Due to the fact that by the majority of participants the competition was perceived not as a contest of authors' works, but as a "only for fun", you shouldnt refer to the plagiarism of images in the contest as a violation of forum rules.
I hope you heard me. Smiley


I agree 100% with what dude is saying. I did try to be as original as possible, I did read the rules. However I can't say the same for the other participants. Only because I knew it was subjectively decided I did not kick a fuss that I didn't make the short list. I think maybe my memes were really inappropriate in the eyes of the staff...Have you seen that historic photo of the judge asking to see a woman's ass...I'm surprised it was not deleted...they deleted my tom post about responsible gambling...I was upset about that btw  Undecided ...However thats not the point...I agree with the part where dude said put the rules on the thread and highlight it(Glow)..and every other post where he whistle blew. I commend you sir!



Maybe Next Year Cloudbet manage better and maybe next year I compete again (thats if i'm still broke Grin)...until then live long and prosper!

I won't post anything here anymore. Since the administration of the contest doesnt consider it necessary, then it doesnt matter to me - who broke the rules.
good luck to all!

Also. Bare in mind; a meme contest is purely subjective.

Cloudbet`s contest thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5059255.0

Maybe someone can investigate? This isnt an accusation of those on the list, but some of the signs look weird.

I got an email from them. I've been learning about the ins and out of bitcoin by lurking here. Finally saw this as an opportunity to have fun and possibly win money(minimal viable amount for trading).... I figured it beats a trading competition on any online brokerage. I had fun. It was a stress reliever. I'm glad I won some free spin  Grin Grin Grin Grin
