3 Crypto Journalists nominated for Pulitzer Prizes in 2022

Honour to whom honour is due: after years of ignoring top-shelf journalism in this space, the committee nominated 3 writers for the most important prize in literature and journalism!

​

1. The Bitcoin Price Is Rallying Its Way To $100K - Nov. 1, 2021 - Cryptobirb, influencer, Bitcoin Magazine.
   Even though BTC price plummeted over 70% since the article (starting to crash days later), the article reflects the community's spirit. The Influencer includes fail-safe metrics like the 'fear and greed' indicator, the number of wallets onchain ('bitcoin’s active addresses mean indicator suggests the network is lagging behind the price.') and of course the infamous NUPL (net unrealized profit/loss indicator).

2. Bitcoin surges above $20K after 6% BTC rally gains steam ahead of the monthly close - Sep 30, 2022, William Suberg, Coin Telegraph.
   A simple classic for the real crypto-news Connoisseur! 2 numbers that can be taken from any Bitcoin chart - but still a whole world opens up thanks to this article. Another criterion for top journalism: citing Twitter crypto influencers.

3. Shiba Inu To Extricate From Bearish Grip As SHIB Is Seen Rising - Oct. 18, 2022, Christian Encila, NewsBTC.
   Nominated in the category "Nothingburger", this is top-shelf creativity. In difference to #2 on this list, the author includes Technical Analysis, which clearly shows that SHIB has indeed been rising. The jury also noted the use of the word 'extricate', which was chosen by the author because all its synonyms have already been used on similar articles.

In twenty Pulitzer Prize categories, each winner receives a certificate and 60,000,000 coins of a known korean brand (having the same value as 1,400 coins of that same brand 6 months ago). The winner in the public service category is awarded a gold medal, handed over by Do Kwon. The ceremony will take place online, because he's on vacation right now (he's not on the run, who said that).
