The new Top 10 round has been live for two weeks. Therefore, as per the rules, contestants are allowed to copy arguments from the prior round, like the ones above, and reuse them in the current round if the original authors haven’t done so already. The usernames of the original authors must be cited in the copied arguments, however.

Changes

Starting from this round, a Best Analysis award will be given to the entry which receives the highest average score from the team’s judging. This award will come with a custom addition to your flair, along with a bonus 500 moon tip.

**The winner of this award in the Top 10 round was u/elrond4, with their Bitcoin Pro-Argument entry: https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/og1fha/rcryptocurrency_cointest_top_10_category_bitcoin/heorlgm/?context=3. Congratulations! Any ties for this award will be broken at u/CryptoChief‘s discretion.

If a copied argument receives 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, the corresponding prize will be split equally between the original author and the user who reused the argument.

For arguments that exceed 9500 characters, the author must split it between a top level comment & a second-level comment, like so: https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/og1fha/rcryptocurrency_cointest_top_10_category_bitcoin/heorlgm/?context=3.

Secondary arguments from one author in the same thread (which are under the maximum character limit) will not be counted. Repeat offenses will be treated as spam and will result in being disqualified from the current round.

Threads which have been renewed for the next round will be locked and flaired ‘CONTEST-LOCKED’, while threads which have not been renewed will be flaired ‘CONTEST-CLOSED’. Users may participate in the ‘CONTEST-CLOSED’ threads if they wish to do so, but entries will not be judged.

Due to changes in market circumstances, UNI was removed from the Top 10 category and has been replaced with SOL.
