its not a popularity contest. its not meant to be about subscriber numbers or how many people know their name.. its about who brings most to the community, who helps sculpt the bitcoin ecosystem into a better system then before.
anyone can make a video, but the true pioneers are those that act on what they say and actually do things.
this is kind of like saying a teacher that has taught 10,000 students about electricity at high school level deserves the nobel prize, instead of someone that invents free energy, or makes electricity generation more efficient for the whole world
"its not a popularity contest."
I agree it's not a popularity contest... the category of the award is for people who provide "insightful" or "informative" content about bitoin. What exactly did you learn about bitcoin from the majority of the nominees? besides andreas n roger?
"its about who brings most to the community,"
James brought 10,000+ to the bitcoin community... what are the stats on the combined total of the other nominees? i'm going on hard facts not just speculation here...
"who helps sculpt the bitcoin ecosystem into a better system then before."
Tell me someone who actually calculated the true cost of a 51% attack n brought attention to the true cost of a 51% attack with hard concrete numbers and facts? Everyone in the bitcoin community cites $500 million+ for a 51% attack and we have someone who sheds the truth on it to make folks aware of the vulnerability of the network. That makes a better ecosystem in my mind.
"this is kind of like saying a teacher that has taught 10,000 students about electricity at high school level deserves the nobel prize, instead of someone that invents free energy, or makes electricity generation more efficient for the whole world"
The folks were nominated for most insightful and informative... over 10,000 people thought that james was insightful and informative enough to hit the SUBSCRIBE button so in my book, that's plenty evidence that his videos are informative and insightful.
Enjoy
