The #BlockPitch Challenge
We recently wrapped up the #BlockPitch Challenge where we explored the best 1-sentence blockchain pitch. An artform of brevity and clarity, these pitches sought to boil down the complexity of crypto into something quickly digestible.
One sentence narratives explained blockchain through submissions by @luxx, @enginewitty,@tcpolymath,@ross-early, @jassennessaj, @lenonmc21, @sbamsoneu, @gregjava, and @eturnerx. Meanwhile, @donnadavisart, @kona, @heroldius, and @jamieinthedark took a more creative angle. Finally, entries from @leotrap, @aaronli, @calatorulmiop, @laylador, and @vandigital, relate the #blockpitch to the revolution side of things!
Did you have a personal favorite from the entries? Check out the full list here.
Illustrating the Blockchain
We kick off each week with a question designed to challenge and explore new ways of engaging the Steem blockchain.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so why limit yourself? Start drawing and tell us, how would you illustrate the blockchain?
