I will pay a prize of 1 bitcoin (worth ≈ $8,200 as I type) to the person who creates the best <250 word synopsis / explanation of the story I revealed since I left Overstock.com in August. Here is how to enter:

Read the 29 stories below;

By noon (Utah time) December 18 2019, write the smartest synopsis / explanation you can write;

Post it in the submission form at https://www.deepcapture.com/contest

Entries must not exceed 250 words, and will be chopped at 251;

I am open to proposals in the comment section below on these uncertainties:

Shall I will winnow entries down based on truth-content, then run Twitter polls to select a winner? If so, I will need to find some voting mechanism to choose the best entry (or entries).

One person having spoken up for “all or nothing” and none opposed, we will make it “all or nothing” for 1 BTC.

As I indicate, I have uncertainties about the couple details of structure the contest. I will read your comments and we will co-evolve the rules of this contest together. But two things are fixed: I will supply prize money of 1 Bitcoin, 100% of which will be given to the winner, and submissions have to be made by December 18 noon in Utah (we could make it “midnight Singapore” or something but let us base it off Utah). I will come up with some way for the public to select the truth at that point.

I will send the winner 1 Bitcoin.

Best of luck,

Patrick
