Wait,
it gets better. The 5 winners, one for each category listed
below, will be recognized from
the stage of the US
Capitol. Winners need not be present to win, however, being
awarded a trophy from the stage of the US Capitol is an
experience like no other.
Unfortunately, there is one
major deterrent to artists submitting their work. It’s
blockchain.
As I mentioned, there will be 5 winners
from 5 categories. They are:
1)
Creativity/Originality. How innovative is this
idea?
2) Practicality. Could this idea work?
3)
Helpful/ Humanity. Does this idea help anyone?
4)
Involvement. Is the artist involved in the deployment of
this project?
5) Visual appeal. How pleasing is the
image to behold?
These 5 categories must all relate to
a blockchain connection.
So, how can blockchain
translate into an image?
Here are some
suggestions:
– Land Titling: Many poor farmers and
landowners in 3rd world countries do not have secure titles
to their land, even after generations. Blockchain records
could secure their claims.
– Fair Trade: Irreputable
practices govern coffee, chocolate, and rice harvesting.
Blockchain records can track the supply chain, eliminating
deception.
– Cannabis: Many states rely on
cryptocurrency for their dispensaries since the US dollar
cannot be used for cannabis.
– Others: Healthcare.
Artificial Intelligence. Banking. Aviation, Cybersecurity,
Education, and more. For a list of Blockchain applications,
