MYSTERY PRIZE
POST-CONTEST, BONUS SBD WINNER
Thank you so much @thoughts-in-time. This was a great idea and lots of fun! May I ask when the $SBC gets transferred to my account? Just wondering. Cheers.
For sure @libertyacademy. Two days ago, check your wallet bro!
You might be confused, because currently the dollar value of Steem is going down. The 'Estimated Account Value' is just that, an estimated value of your Steem dollars if they were converted to (US) dollars today.
Not so long ago, an SBD was worth like 8 USD. Now, it is worth like 1.70. Allot of this has to do with the value of crypto dropping in general, bitcoin taking the lead in the drop. Some of this may be related to the fact that google recently banned crypto advertising.
It just goes to show you how much power Silicon Valley has. Not only in information are they censoring, but also information (in the form of advertisements) pertaining to crypto.
You can watch the fluctuations of SBD value here.
Seemingly, it is a constant cycle of dips and spikes.
The smart money normally tends to buy at the dips.
I'm expecting it to recover at some point, but who knows.
I am not a financial expert, and this is not financial advice.
Thanks man!
Fantastic news! Thanks for your support. I look forward to helping out with what looks like a very noble and unfortunately increasingly necessary cause at the moment. Cheers
I had made a 2nd meme as well but thought 2 submissions for a contest might be construed as spam but please go ahead and use it if you like it. If we're talking censorship then something Orwellian seemed appropriate
Your meme making skills are sick! Somehow you managed to make a meme combining dune, 1984, censorship, and Steemit, all rolled into one! Please feel free to spam the hell out of the contest. The main aspect of this contest is to create tools that can be used against the censors. We want to hold a mirror up to their face, and allow them to see what it is that they've become. That way they can actively decide if they really want to be that guy. Hopefully, these memes will help to bring awareness to the issue of soft-censorship on the Steemit UI.
Congrats to all the winners and Thanks a ton @thoughts-in-time!
Thank you very much for this. It was a welcome surprise. Man soon I will make a contest about a mind blowing topic, I don't want to say too much yet. I'm still working out specifics.
Please remind me when you post it, it's really hard to keep track of everyone, and I don't want to miss out.
I really wish this wasn't my reason for writing you again today, but we have another situation developing, and I wanted to keep you up to date:

Just when I thought the story was maybe over - Steemit might have a bigger problem than I initially thought. Something somewhere has been decided and we get no official answers.
Guess I will do a meme next, it's just too pressing.
Much love dude

Thanks for the update, we do have to stay vigilant!
I see that the mystery has been solved, and that the
comment only appears to have been deleted, because
the author had muted the user and then forgot about it,
resulting in the one user, no longer being able to see the
comment. We do have to pay close attention this day and
age with all of the sneaky censorship tactics and shadow
banning, and whatnot. Stay strong, the fight never ends!

Great idea!
But, what is the topic/subject about? Or, what kind of requirements/characteristics are you looking for? (i.e., something funny, serious, contemplative, etc.). Thanks!

I couldn't resteem the contest post @thoughts-in-time
I was just noticing that problem, hows about resteeming this one and upvoting this one. Just be sure to post your meme on the actual contest thread.

Thanks a ton @thoughts-in-time! Appreciate it bruv
Thank you, be sure and enter as many times as you like!

Nice, glad to see you've adopted the creed!
Don't panic! : )
Hi, I posted one on the official page. It was there. Then I upvoted it (like you did for yours) and now it is hidden! Instead of it I see some lighted text "Comments were hidden due to low ratings." WTF?
Why? Is this what is meant by irony? Anyway to get it back displayed? Can you see it? Anyway reposting it here so you know what it looks like:
Wait. Now I see it in the middle of that page. Can you see it? Very confused.
Yep I see it, you can check the votes if you ever see a vote with a -sign that means someone flagged it.
