Last Call: One Month Left to Win Your Share of $17,500 in the #bitcoin Writing Contest

Back in May 2024, we kicked off the #bitcoin writing contest, calling on Bitcoin maximalists, developers, thought leaders, and Web3 enthusiasts to explore the Bitcoin ecosystem—its origins, financial impact, core ethos, development stacks, Rootstock’s role in extending its capabilities and other related topics.
The response has been incredible. Across the first two rounds, over 150 #bitcoin
