[Voting 2025] Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆

[Pmalek]

I'd like to state for the record that I have never sent Pmalek nor anyone else nude pics of myself. 

And I confirm that I may or may not have nudes of The Sceptical Chymist. 100%.

And yeah, o_e_l_e_o.  He was super intelligent, super helpful, and I've always hoped he was just creating a story about his terminal illness as a pretext to leaving the forum so as not to have to divulge whatever the real reason was.

It would be awesome if that was the case. Him looking at this post sometimes in the future and thinking to himself, "I fooled them" is better than the alternative. 

I hate to see good people die, especially when they're as young as I think Leo was.

I never really thought about his age until now when you mentioned it. I guess when you notice how detailed, precise, and knowledgeable someone is, you automatically assume they are a bit older. At least that's how it's for me.

for the Italian section it is incredible how fundamental a character like this can be, a great

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: 

[fluffaloo]

Code:

Hero of Good: satoshi

I know it may sound strange, it may sound rhetorical or even sappy, but I actually want to vote for him because he never touched his bitcoins, faithful to the cause until the end.

Code:

Forum Ninja: fillippone

The most ninja user ever, he uses the kunai of knowledge to strike at our consciences and make us understand that the only currency that's truly yours is the one you have the keys to.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: icopress

He's behind the scenes of every event, whether it's Pizza Day or the Bitcoin Community Awards. He manages these events very well. And he also manages to avoid controversy and problems.

Code:

Best Event: Bitcoin Community Awards

The best event ever, the Bitcoin Community Awards, is basically bitcoin. It's recently been moved to its sister forum, so it deserves its place.

Code:

Best Project: 

Code:

Discovery of the Year: 

Code:

Help Buster: nutildah

Local Hero:

[Wake Up]

Code:

Hero of Good: satoshi, theymos, Hal 

These would probably be the best options for Hero of Good. Satoshi and Hal, in particular, are pioneers in this field. The forum's hero, however, is Theymos. He still makes significant contributions that keep the forum alive.

Bitcoin Geek: Filippone 

Code:

Best Event: Turkish Bitcoin prediction contest, 100 Push-Ups Per Day, BTT Community Awards

The Turkish Bitcoin prediction contest that I started with @EFS has been quite popular in Turkey. Perhaps the best thing this forum has given us is friendship. Also, participating in the prediction contest creates excitement for the closing price at the end of the month. I'm happy to have won this prize once before. I will continue to donations every month as much as I can. I can say this has been the best event of the year for me.

Also, thanks to the "100 push-ups per day" activity, I lost ~ 12 kg in 100 days. So I can say that this activity was also very good.

Code:

Best Project: BTT SuperNotifier

Code:

Craft Master: icopress

He continues to do a great job at organizing events like these.

Code:

Help Buster: Holydarkness, Don Pedro Dinero, LoyceV

HD: I'm not sure I've ever seen someone go out of their way to help random people on the forum as much as HD does... Its a thankless job he's assigned himself, sifting through casino complaints & trying to figure out who is lying & what actually happened... I couldn't do that but I admire his ability to calmly work through everything.

DPD: He goes out of his way to explain some of the finer elements of forum dynamics to younger accounts, in both English and Spanish.

LV: In addition to maintaining all his reports for years, LoyceV explains things in a way that anyone could understand them. He is of immeasurable value to the forum.

It was amazing how quick he was able to make a userscript for my idea, so that users can easily copy+highlight quotes from the forum. A lot of people also use his Telegram Notification Bot, which is a very useful tool. Truly a master of his craft.

Code:

Local Hero: SFR10, nc50lc

Trusted and reputable forum members from the Filipino community, these are the users that I look up to. I really admire their knowledge, and they inspire me to learn more and make my own contributions.

As always, your vote is a wonderful opportunity to express appreciation to those special people who give their all to our community and contribute to the improvement of our beloved forum. As we look back on 2025, remember which events and users had the greatest impact on you. Just like last year, all the prizes will go to those who voted. 🏆

       What prizes await the winners?

This year, our sponsor 🔥 Bustabit.com, [C]ryptioS took care of the prizes! This year, we'll have 20 winners, each of whom will receive $150 to their Bitcoin address. Based on the voting dynamics of previous years, we'll have two main pools, each with an equal number of participants. Courtesy of GazetaBitcoin, there will also be a special raffle with a personalized BTC Romania plastic card + $200! 🎁 Note.

	Pool #2 (0-99)		Pool #1 (0-99)		Pool #3 (All voters)
	10 winners & $150 each		10 winners & $150 each		Special Raffle

      How it works?

For 60 days, public voting will be open, in which any active user can take part. Any user has the right to conduct campaigning in a separate thread, specially created for this purpose. Who will be among the top three winners in each respective category depends only on your activity. Also this year the "vote power" rule will apply to votes cast for the 1st place winners in the 2024 BCA, such votes will be counted as 0.75 to 1 ➥ Note.

• Up to 3 users you can vote in each category ➥ Note.
• You must explain why you are nominating a user. ➥ Note.
• To vote you must have at least 10 merits in the last 120 days.

	Custom title	Description of the Nomination
	Hero of Good	The award is given to the informal leader! This man has left such a lasting impression that when he speaks to you, your breath is taken away* and his posts seem undeniable. The departed heroes also deserve this award!
	Forum Ninja	The award is given to a member whose name symbolizes consistency.   The forum has always had users who stand out from the crowd not only for their writing style, those whose activity seems omnipresent, and those without whom Bitcointalk is unimaginable.
	Bitcoin Geek	The award is given to the participant who you felt was the most helpful in the Bitcoin-related areas. Tell us which of your acquaintances is passionate about Bitcoin to the extreme, who can easily explain to you such nuances that you did not even know about or who simply chose a ASIC for your grandmother.
	Best Event	What event had the biggest impact on you? This nomination is a tribute to the most notable events in the crypto community or the most significant for you personally. This is the 6th annual awards, and you can only nominate and vote for all significant events of 2025.
	Best Project	We are talking about a business or any project presented on Bitcointalk.
	Discovery of the Year	Perhaps one of the most unexpected but at the same time iconic categories, which shows that the forum is alive. The award is presented not only to novice Bitcoiners, but also to other users who have been actively participating in the life of the forum over the past year ... heck, you can even nominate your best Bitcointalk friend!
	Help Buster	The award is given to an outstanding volunteer working exclusively for the benefit of the community. He adheres to a fairly strict moral code, is a role model, and consistently demonstrates unstoppable enthusiasm for helping newcomers, reporting, detecting scammers, or stopping AI activity.
	Craft Master	The award is presented to those who sincerely love their craft, whether it is a professional activity or a hobby. This award is best suited for the most significant figure among collectors, moderators, businessmen, designers, sports gurus, creators of public initiatives and tools that make the life of the forum brighter.
	Local Hero	Want to vote for your friends? Great! Many users don't venture beyond their local sections, so we'd like to know whose names represent each community. Let's see which local community is the most cohesive. Wall Observer is considered a separate community.
	Miss Bitcointalk	Although women are now a minority on Bitcointalk, they are still an integral part of our community. And although there are indeed few nominees, we cannot abolish this category*, so let's express our gratitude to our beauties. Who do you think especially deserves to be Miss Bitcointalk?
