One has to go against the grain in contests like these, especially when one has no idea who to vote for.  Call me a cranky contrarian if you like, but I'm sticking to my votes.

Oh man, your choice is really unique and made me laugh a lot. I didn't expect anything like that. You deserve an award for that alone.

Your link triggered a mal-ware alert on my computer. What the heck? I assume the link was changed / hacked from that website to fish for Bitcointalk users maybe. Or was it a false alarm?
"What spam?" made me laugh, though - nice one!
You wanna go against the stream but then still pick a Miss? Lame. :p

Event of the Year:  FTX falling down from $32 billon mountain

Serious question: Exactly who is going to receive the price if events like these win out (which I'm sure FTX will easily do for this category)?

I'm going to assume there is no prize for this category or something?

I am sure we can set up a SBF donation account, he dearly is in need of some Sats after he lost everything.  

Edit: In my post before I edited the link, so it is unclickable. If you quote it, you will still be able to see the full link, though.

Foxpup's my boo.  Couldn't hep m'self, y'know.

Now as far as that link goes to the Russian immortality drug, it wasn't flagged by my browser when I visited it and I sure as hell didn't mean to link to a dangerous site, nor do I think it is dangerous unless it got changed.  But this is the internet.  Wear a helmet and a rubber when you venture out, lest you get a brick to the head or some infectiously nasty bugaboo that's probably resistant to every antibiotic known to man.

Yeah I'm lame, what can I tell you.

This question (and answered) inside Discussion thread:

In every category in which a physical winner is possible (remember last year).

For obvious reasons, the awards do not apply to such categories as "Fail of the Year" and "Event of the Year". 

Obviously, while writing my previous post (similar to you too, lol), I did not take into account the fact that, if FTX Drama will win at Fail of the Year section, nobody will know at their door to handle them 12mBTC, right? Same happens for all cases where technically it is impossible to physically offer a prize. I'm talking about nominations like "Luna crash", "CSW", "Bitcoin Pizza Day", "Ethereum merge", "World Cup Qatar" etc.

Other than that, please, I am kindly asking all to continue the discussion and the agitation inside Discussion thread, thus we'll have this topic as limited as possible for votes only. It will help a lot during votes counting period Thank you in advance for understanding.
