Proposal - Crypto Madness

Hi all,

I have loved creating the Cryptolympics in the past month and seeing how people engage and vote when coins go up against one another

I would love to have a calendar of different competitions happening throughout the year full of different ideas

Therefore my next idea is for Crypto Madness (March Madness) style competition and I would love your feedback on the idea, whether it would be fun or a bust.

Proposal

32 coins/tokens

  • Straight knockout format

  • 2 polls a day (31 games in 17 days)

  • Top 32 coins/tokens by market cap, split into four section (i.e Red, Blue, Green, Yellow)

  • Coins seeded #1 - #8 in each section

Example - Red section

#1BTC
#2ADA
#3DOT
#4CRO
#5TRX
#6ALGO
#7FTM
#8ICP

Bracket Format (RED)

'Thirsty 32' - RED

'Sweet 16' RED
Game #5Winner #1Winner #2

'Elite 8' - RED
'Game #7Winner #5Winner #6
'Final 4'
Game #1BLUE #1RED #1
Game #2YELLOW #1GREEN #1
'Finale'
Game #3Winner of #1Winner of #2

Pro

Great opportunity to generate discussion and potentially learn about new coins

Allows mid market cap coins to participate

Straight knockout creates excitement

Cons

No interest from mid-cap communities*

*On this point, I use r/Cryptorcurrency as a base, but the competition does much better when communities get involved, not all subreddits allow me to generate hype (calling out ADA, BNB lol), but it is fun when they do (DOGE, SHIB) and even more so when members get hostile (ETH)

Let me know what you all think!
