Reddit is organising a platform-wide competition in which participating subreddits can put forth the informative, insightful and influential posts that garnered the most responses in 2022. R/cryptocurrency is a participant and it is now soliciting contributions for 9 categories.

Here are my suggestions for 3 of the categories:

[Funniest]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/z8dmwv/attention_everyone_btc_is_up_bull_market_is_back/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I’m sure OP effectively leveraged SEO as he used ‘bull market’ and ‘BTC’ in his title. Intrigued me enough to click on it and wasn’t disappointed. Packed full of cliches like holiday pumps and magic 8 balls - even pop culture icons like Mariah Carey and Michael Buble were not spared. Which made his post rather ridiculously funny. Read it and have a good chuckle. The comments responding to his post weren’t too shabby either.

[Best Prediction]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/z8ekpe/gemini_is_compromised_gemini_user_data_is_being/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

There are more viral posts that successfully predicted the downfall of Terra and FTX, so this post, which is about the data of Gemini customers being compromised, may seem to be akin to a David post against these Goliath posts. However, I think it deserves a nomination in the Best Prediction category because it showcases the caution taken by the OP. It’s common practice to dedicate an email address just for crypto transactions but this OP went one step further and created an email just for transactions he conducted on Gemini. Hence, he was able to state conclusively that the phishing email he had received must have been due to Gemini’s security breach. And true enough, his prediction came true. (https://cointelegraph.com/news/gemini-allegedly-suffers-data-breach-5-7-million-emails-leaked/amp). The level of rigorousness he practised is nothing short of impressive.

[Most Controversial]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/zksocm/the_algorand_shillers_on_this_sub_are_bullish/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Voting this post for Most Controversial because the OP put forth arguments to claim that Algorand was not a sound investment. Many users disagreed with him, citing counter arguments that pointed to the health of this coin. This sparkled a lovely debate on whose side was right. Frankly speaking, I’m not familiar with the tokenomics of Algorand, so I cannot tell which arguments leaned closer to the truth. But it was entertaining and enlightening reading such animated arguments all round.
