The writing contest, sponsored by Sydney-based exchange
Bit Trade Australia, posed the question: ‘Digital Currencies and the future: Will Bitcoin change the world?’.
The
competition opened in November last year to Australian and New Zealand
citizens with the intention to drive bitcoin and digital currency
awareness.
The prize has increased in
value considerably since
the contest was announced. The 7 BTC first prize was worth around
AU$1,000 when announced, but is now worth over AU$4,000, despite this
week’s
price turmoil.
First prize went to Gareth Williams, a New Zealand native who lives in Sydney and works full time as a Java programmer.
“I
feel that Bitcoin, just like the Internet in the early 1990s, is a
technology with enormous potential which is largely under-appreciated in
the mainstream,”
he said.
