Summing up the Bitcointalk Awards 2023, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who took part in the voting, as well as to everyone who supported this initiative. Congratulations to all the winners (we have thirty winners this year) and thank you to everyone who continues to make Bitcointalk better.

Valuable prizes will be sent to all winners (except for the Antihero category) in the near future. In addition, in the very near future Cyrus, as a representative of Cryptios, will contact some of you (a surprise awaits you, information about which we cannot disclose yet). Also, users who get the same number of votes will share prizes among themselves (for example, if it is 2nd and 3rd place, etc.). If you see your name below, congratulations!

Statistics:

• This year we had 186 unique users nominated for 10 categories. Excepting them, some were also nominated as being event or fail of the year. In comparison, last year we had only 166 users being nominated.
• The greatest number of nominations received by a user was 81 (theymos at Hero of Good category). Last year he was also the one with most votes (87) at same category.
• The biggest difference between a first place and a second place was 60 votes (theymos vs fillippone, at Hero of Good category. Last year biggest difference was of 62 votes, between PowerGlove and n0nce, at Discovery of the Year category.
• franky1 tried again to abuse the system, just like last year, by meriting those who nominated him as antihero, in order to have less votes at this category. Similar to last year, his attempts were not counted. Also similar to last year, he "managed" to keep his second place at this category.
• There were still some cases when some votes were denied for breaking the "no-merit rule" (but way less than last year, which is great).
• Votes of SPARE, ColdLava40 and speeder were not counted, as they have less than 50 merits earned.
• Votes for inactive users, such as satoshi, were also not counted, due to their inactivity.
• Some mentions of event / fail of the year were merged all together, as they written with words suggesting same idea.
• Some votes for nominees which had their name spelled incorrectly were merged together (Ratimov & Symmetrick, e_o_l_o_e & o_e_l_e_o etc.)
• The votes for "TalkImg" at Discovery of the Year category were not awarded to Joker_josue, as "TalkImg" was not a forum username. However, this did not stop Joker_josue to win first place at this category.
• The ban of mixers was voted as most important event of the year and also the fail of the year. This should say a lot about how this decision was perceived by forum users.
• Forum's queen seems to be the solitary leader at Miss BitcoinTalk category, winning first prize for 3 years in a row now Same is true also for TryNinja, which won for last 3 consecutive years the Bitcoin Ninja category. Furthermore, o_e_l_e_o kept winning at Bitcoin Geek category for 4 years in a row -- WOW!

Made with 💗 for the Bitcointalk public.

Congrats to the organizers and the participants.

I am particularly happy for the winners in the "Discovery of the year" category, where I took the 4th place. Now that I am seeing the names: Joker_josue, PowerGlove, paid2, it is only normal that I didn't surpass them! The guys are amazing.

o_e_l_e_o you have won a place in our hearts, apart from the obvious awards. You see... We miss you!

[Lillominato89]

Also, congratulations to all the other winners, especially o_e_l_e_o, who fully deserves all the recognition he has ever received here. We'll miss you!

[SamReomo]

I was 100% sure that Foxpup will be Miss Bitcointalk. Congratulations to all the winners! Happy to see Theymos as Hero of the good, and Nutildah on top as well!

[icopress]

On behalf of Theymos, $500 will be added to the Bitcoin Pizza competition fund that will take place in May (the scale of the competition will be huge)!

[Sandra_hakeem]

Oh well, what do we have here?.. Ehhhh,..BTT becomes even more interesting with little events/award giving ceremonies like this.. I sometimes feel a little bored when I'm surfing and -- everything remains the same from the previous days...lol
Congratulations to the winners; I cry way too much and I simply dunno how else to believe that LEO is gone Fr!! Hhampuz is indeed a great craft master regardless - I'm gonna party with y'all shortly..

On behalf of Theymos, $500 will be added to the Bitcoin Pizza competition fund that will take place in May (the scale of the competition will be huge)!

Now this proves that the OLD MAN sees everything ...Bring it on, icopress.!!

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

[Mr.suevie]

On behalf of Theymos, $500 will be added to the Bitcoin Pizza competition fund that will take place in May (the scale of the competition will be huge)!

Hmm, this is really huge and this shows that we are definitely moving towards progress and prosperity here in the community. With theymos adding this bonus I can definitely say we will indeed see alot of hell of different pies and we all should be ready to brace ourselves for the event.

All these events are what really makes this place unique and I salute all those that have being on the edge to actually make this place running and a success too.

Great news!

Time to make pizzas guys! 

[yahoo62278]

I'm shocked that yahoo62278 received 1 vote.

I'm ok with not getting many votes as I managed maybe 1 campaign this past year. Most will vote for the managers that hired them in the year.

[Becassine]

Congratulations ! 

[Welsh]

Congratulations to everyone who won, and got at least one vote! I hope to see some new names in the coming years! Massive fan of the yearly results, as it really does tend to get the community together, and encourage some positive results for the community.

[SatoPrincess]

Congratulations to the winners. I can’t wait to see this year’s community awards on the Bitcointalk YouTube channel. Thank you Icopress and GazetaBitcoin for organizing the awards once again.

To @CryptopreneurBrainboss and @Charles-Tim, thanks for making us proud.

What category did they win? Can’t find their names on the result sheet.

[Mia Chloe]

A big congratulations to the winners on their awards won. I must say that the forum is getting better when it comes to awards of this nature. I am very optimistic that the next award will be better than this with more catchy prices I guess  
I was surprised to be mentioned amongst those with the fewest votes  . It's quite some progress I'll say.

On behalf of Theymos, $500 will be added to the Bitcoin Pizza competition fund that will take place in May (the scale of the competition will be huge)!

Great news!

Time to make pizzas guys!  

Did someone just say pizza? I can't wait to put on my gloves in exploration of the next pizza contest. Also a vote of thanks to theymos for making the prices more catchy.

Thank you to everyone who voted for me in every category.
Thank you to those who voted me as a golden feather. I hope I will prove worthy of this title again. For sure, I will continue giving my best to advise you and help every user grow in the forum.
Thank you, @icopress and @gazetabitcoin, for flawlessly organising and running the contest, notwithstanding the continuous disruption attempts from bad and not-so-bad actors.
Thank you, @jambler for providing the main prize pool.
Thank you, @cyrus and @theymos, for your generosity topping up the prize pool.
Thank you, @o_e_l_e_ocyrus and @theymos, for your generosity in the prize pool.
Thank you, and farewell @o_e_l_e_o, fucking forum legend.

Here is a picture of yours truly, doing what he can do best: cheering, having a joyful smile, drinking beer and baking pizzas.


Pizza, coincidence?

[nutildah]

Wow, what an honor, my first Bitcointalk Awards. The list of people I wanna thank is so long, let's see how many I can name before the play-off music starts. First I wanna thanks icopress for putting this whole thing together, this guy is a real workhorse behind the scenes and sometimes I'm jealous of that level of work ethic.

Second I want to thank all the people who voted for me, even if you just copy/pasted other peoples' votes and don't really know me, you're still cool with me of course. We've come a long way in deterring AI spam since it first became a problem, and thanks to the vigilance of the entire community of scambusters, I don't think scammers can get away with as much shit as they used to (oh sorry, I forgot this is a family show, please bleep that). Anyway thanks to everyone out there trying to keep it 100 and trying to keep scams & spam outta this house.

Of course I can't forget satoshi, without him none of us would be here right now, he's the man of all mans. I also want to thank theymos for keeping the lights on & being the most benevolent of dictators. He's created an environment that allows us to be who were are and keep us all coming here.

I also want to thank Kendrick Lamar for putting How Much A Dollar Cost out into the universe -- its a sword of a song that I try to live by in my day to day life, an inspiration for real. I wanna also thank Ye for his guest vocals on the single, Buddha, Copernicus, Gilgamesh, Andrew Carnegie, Stephen Hawking and of course the Big Man Upstairs. Love ya all, for real. Peace out y'all and let's do this again next year, I had fun.
