  • Even though I have many long workdays during the contest.
  • Even though I have a couple of prior engagements that will take up almost 2 of my days away from work.
  • Even though my comments are always mammoth affairs and the idea of writing 500 in 10 days, well pfft!
  • Even though I am writing this at almost midnight when my alarm is set for just over 5 hours time.
  • Even though I know winning will not be on the cards.

So what gives? I have just spent 5 minutes buiding a pretty solid case, right there for NOT taking part, right?

No not really, because despite all the setbacks with relation to free time before I even start...I recognise this opportunity for what it actually is.

This is a chance to push the big red reset button with regards to the problems many of us have witnessed firsthand on other blockchains, a chance to really do things right this time. I'm talking about...

  • A tsunami of real interaction and engagement.
  • The chance to form strong bonds and friendships.
  • A chance to meet some of the 'would be' movers and shakers on the platform'
  • The chance to really introduce ourselves over an extended period and get to know each-other.
  • The chance to set our stall out and shape our community in a meaningful way.

Most important of all to plant our flag and state clearly and proudly. We are gonna create something worthwhile, monumental and truly life transforming here and we ARE wholeheartedly behind this platform!

Many people have bemoaned the fact that blockchain communities have previously been, only for the whales, the bigtime investors and those with a gargantuan following from other platforms, youtube etc. Well here it is, here's your chance to show you care and be a part of something special that has it's roots in community, real community.

I for one and not gonna pass up that opportunity, are you?

So I am in and thank the organisers for the work up-to this point and the real work yet to come as we flood the blockchain with awesomeness, sparkles and solid whale-shaped intent! I wish those of you taking part in this amazing contest, the very best of luck :sunglasses:

Thankyou to the sponsors too, your contributions to the prize-pool are greatly appreciated. Many of you will have heard me say before that the witnesses here seem far more approachable, within reach, normal and in a nutshell...Just like US, than anything I have experienced previously, this is a stunningly fabulous sign for the future...Let's carry on the dialogue we have started here and make sure we ALL look after this blockchain together!

Always keep one word close to your heart in everything you do on the platform...Community!

Together, we are just better :heart:
