The fact that Facebook has banned advertising crypto currency - this will only make it worse for the facebook itself. I also heard that Medium blocks articles about crypto-currencies. But there is Twitter, where there are a lot more users. Now there is a planned pressure on crypto-currencies. Every day a stream of negative news, some speculation, rumors. Obviously this is all planned and done intentionally. And, interestingly, on the weekend the flow of fud is suspended, it's just ridiculous.
As for the bonuses in the form of a trip to Georgia for three lucky ones - this is a great idea. So the community representatives will be able to communicate with the developers and see the team and their developments with their own eyes. This increases the credibility of the project team.
I was in Georgia, very long time ago. This is a wonderful place.
I don't think medium is blocking articles in cryptocurrency, lots of people in this cryptoworld writes articles about the cryptos and I am sure medium is getting lots of traffic from these articles, I'll look into that.
A bonus trip to Georgia is wonderful idea, but lets keep that limited because investors don't want their investments go to some exaggerated marketing stunts.
