What happened to the 5th edition of the Bitcoin Cash myth Bursting competition?
I remember reading the last update by @SofiaCBCH about the roadmap for the 5th edition of the Myth Bursting writing competition a month ago- but I couldn’t find anything mentioned about it since then on this platform and there has been no single myth-bursting article published so far. Even though the submission of entries will close by the end of the month, it seems the community of writers is not motivated enough this time to deliver new myth-bursting stories to the Bitcoin cash community.
Is the culture being broken? There has been no new update about the 5th edition of the competition. Is the community not enthusiastic enough to write new myth-busting stories? Or has the organizer given up due to the bear market situation and the low numbers of writers we now have on the platform?
I was waiting to see some entries before diving in and making some entries for the competition, but it seems there is not much interest this time, so I decided to take a look at the submission update, there is no single response since the last time it was updated for the beginning of the contest.
Do we not want to write again? This year's edition has higher prizes for the winning entries. Last year we had 6 winners of the contest, with a different variety of stories of which @Panteracame top, and even though the prizes were very good, this year's edition will be better. However, there have not been any comments since the updates, even though the contest is running right now and the closing date is just a couple of weeks away.
Could this be the end of the myth-busting writing contest?
We have very few writers here on the writing platform to bring new myth-busting stories to the community, and none seem interested enough to write.
I want to encourage the writers that there is still time to write. With 3 weeks to go before the submission deadline, there is still time to get some myths busted, as well as bring a new way to look at the bear market situation in the digital currency space. The community needs this and it is time to show us how they want to work with the current situation.
If you think you could write and contribute to the community and write a new myth-busting story for the bitcoin cash community, you still have a few weeks to get in before the submission deadline. You can find the rules and submission guidelines here.
I am sure the organizer does not want to close this competition, but with the low number of writers and a low number who might be able to produce myths-busting articles for submission, I think the myth-bursting 5th edition may not gain traction this term. It is too bad, but that's the reality.
My opinion is that, if a few writers can join the contest, this will still be good, because it is better to have a few stories on the platform than to have zero stories. I think the core of the community will be attracted to the contest, and those stories should tell new things about this edition and the community.
It will be good to get a new update from the organizer so we know what is the current state of the myth-busting contest. If the writer community is not excited enough, the contest will lose credibility and we will not see anything coming out of this competition in the future. the community is not exciting anymore. It may take some time to dig ourselves out, but we have to try.
I wish you all the best of luck in the writing contest, I hope to see some myth-busting stories coming out from this contest soon. I hope to see an updated page on the contest page, with the list of writers who submitted their entries and their SPL addresses as required for the submissions.
I hope the organizer @SofiaCBCH gets to see this article and take into consideration that the contest is not going as it should be.
Can I see an example of other writers, how it's written? Links will be appreciated.
