Youtube has now retracted it's war on Crypto Content and its creators. Youtube is calling it a "mistake" and is now once again allowing crypto-content creators to publish their videos. There is still some speculation that there are some nefarious actors behind this "crypto-purge" but there are no concrete facts other that Youtube is restoring videos that have crypto-content. There are still some weird "scammy" Youtube Live videos that haven't been addressed, so viewers out there beware!

This recent "crypto-purge" that is now being called a "mistake" should be eye opening to many of the content creators and even to those interested in the crypto-world and its daily news; Youtube is one giant Shut-Off Valve waiting to happen.

This recent culling of content can happen again, and maybe the next time it won't be a "mistake." Maybe next time it could be permanent, or maybe a content creator verbally expresses themselves in a manner that goes against Youtube, and they could shut off the content creator from their channel and videos permanently.

This experience has created much more awareness about the benefits of a decentralized social media platform such as the Steem Blockchain. There are a few other decentralized social media platforms out there, but Steem has first movers advantage. Steem also has a great history, has an even greater community and continues to grow with both users and different Dapps. At one point, even Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, mentioned at an Ethereum conference that Ethereum should be more like the Steem Blockchain and its Community.

The Steem community members are the links that make the Steem Blockchain so strong.

Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD9 :

with some small changes to allow more participants
MUST have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 150 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD9) BUT LESS than 8000 Steem Power.

MUST have a reputation score of 40 & ABOVE (so rank of 39.99 will Not Win)

MUST have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD9

MUST Power Up Steem on January 1st, 2020

On January 1st, you MUST make a post about your POWER UP. It can be as simple as "I powered up X amount of Steem" to a simple picture/screenshot of your Power Up and posted to your Steem blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on Steem Power. IMPORTANT: Use the SPUD and/or SPUD9 Hash tags so that I can be sure to see them.

The winner Must meet all 5 requirements, and will be the one with the Biggest Steem Power Up PERCENTAGE, not the biggest Power Up. This means that it will be based on the ratio between your current amount of Steem Power and the amount you power up on January 1st.

For Example:

If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to January 1, and on January 1 you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up,

and

another Steemian has 200 Steem Powered up prior to January 1, and on January 1st Powers Up 40 Steem, then this 2nd user would be winning with a 20% power up versus the first example with a bigger power up but smaller percentage of only 10% based on their account.
__

The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later or sooner, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 1 days from Winner Announcement, the Winners become official and the prizes will then be given out.

Thank you to All our SPUD Prize Sponsors and to all SPUD supporters and participants working to get STEEM to higher Elevations!!

FULL STEEM AHEAD!

Cheers & Good Luck!
