Steem Crypto Challenge Month #5 : Bitcoin Birthday Special & Guess The Price Bonus Contest

For the final challenge of the Steem Crypto Challenge Month we have something special.

On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto announced the Bitcoin white paper 'Bitcoin : A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System', which officially proposed the Bitcoin concept.

To celebrate the 12th anniversary of this momentous event in the world of crypto our final challenge of the month is all about Bitcoin.

As well as inviting you to post about Bitcoin we are also running a bonus 'Guess The Bitcoin Price' contest alongside the main challenge.

So this week you have two ways of winning some major upvotes instead of one!

We hope you have enjoyed this Steem Crypto Challenge Month.

And particularly this final week with the special 'Guess the Price' bonus contest.

We are interested in your feedback on this Crypto Challenge Month.

Do you think it worked well? Would you change the format at all? Were the prizes too big or too small?

Is it a challenge that we should run again? If so, what other topics could be covered?

Thank you,

The Steemit Team
