This is a sort of unusual contest. It is held in the memory of light_warrior. This Ukraininan forum user went on the path to light at beginning of the month.

icopress made a kind gesture and tried to help light_warrior's family with some funds, but the family (the daughter, to be more precise) said that they would not need the money and suggested to use them for organizing a contest on the forum. Although icopress insisted on offering the funds collected from donations, light_warrior's daughter kept her decision.

As a consequence, this contest is one for light_warrior.

There are ~1200$ (0.02897796BTC) held by icopress in his escrow and most of this amount will represent the prize for the contest (meaning 0.025BTC; the difference will be used for paying the fees when sending the prizes). First place will take 50% (0.0125BTC), second place will take 30% (0.0075BTC) and third place will take 20% (0.005BTC).

Participants will have to predict BTC price from CoinMarketCap on January 9th, 2024, 2:54AM UTC time. The date and time correspond to first mined Bitcoin block. Participants will also have to explain in a few words why they believe BTC will have the prize they predicted -- this condition is a must for the application to be considered eligible.

The winners will be the ones which will predict closest prices to BTC's price from CoinMarketCap.

Eligibility
Participants must have their accounts registered before Sept 1st, 2023 and must have at least 10 merits earned in the past 120 days.
Those with legitimate negative feedback from a DT user are not eligible (the legitimacy of the feedback is analyzed by me).
Registration with multiple accounts is forbidden. If I catch anyone trying this I will leave him a negative feedback.
Each user may make only one prediction.
Predictions can not be edited.
Applications can be submitted until Dec 25th 31st, 23:59:59 (forum time).

Good luck everybody! And, if you are so kind, please say a prayer for light_warrior.
