Then we chose the top 15 stories using 60:30:10 weightage respectively to: Number of hours read Number of people reached The freshness of the content Here is the list of our top 15 contenders: by Understanding Metaverse: A Basic Explanation @sergey-baloyan by DeFi on Bitcoin: How Sovryn is Answering The Final Criticism Against Bitcoin @mickey-maler by Play2Earn for Beginners: Where to Start @sergey-baloyan by ThoughtSlime on Why All NFTs are a Scam @justin-roberti by I Stopped Developing iOS Apps and Switched to Web App Development After 12 Years on The App Store @rosano by My Favourite Scams these days (Cryptocurrencies, Mining, Forex, and NFT scams) — 2021 deep dive @jernej by Top 5 NFT Play-to-Earn Marketplaces to Follow in 2022 @CryptoAdventure by In the 90s, Web 1.0 was Running on a Fully Decentralized Infrastructure @randhindi by This Self-Proclaimed Art Illiterate Person Builds Web3 Products for Coinbase @gagangehani by Decentralized Uber: Here's How I Built It With Status.im, Waku, and Vue.js @thebojda by The Decentralized Internet and Redistribution of Power @rohitmalekar by The One True Metaverse Shall Be Decentralized @mashacryptoprlab by The Centralized Internet is Broken @jmau111 by How to Import Crypto APIs into Excel @alfredodecandia by The Facebook Outage Proved a Need for Greater Decentralization @mustaeenah As usual, the editors voted for the top stories, and as usual, it was tough to choose the top three because you writers have set the quality bar really high! This time something different happened! One writer has won for his two different stories! Let’s see who won 👀 November Winners Here are this month's results (ranked in order according to votes and algorithm): In the first place, we have by @justin-roberti with 15% of the votes. ThoughtSlime on Why All NFTs are a Scam A community not open to criticism is inherently a weak community. It’s important to engage with outside POVs -- it’s no longer just our baby. Blockchain belongs to the world now. Mainstreaming includes dissenting points of view. We loved the interview @justin-roberti! No wonder Justin is now one of our first verified writers! Congratulations! Now, people, this happened for the first time in the history of HackerNoon writing contests! A writer scored second and third position for his two stories in the same month! Congratulations, , for making history! @sergey-baloyan So in the second place, we have (Whopping 3k+ views, 11% votes)! Understanding Metaverse: A Basic Explanation This is the future that we are heading towards, and only a small hint of the total impact that metaverse can have on the world. Even this already seems huge, but it is only scratching the surface, and in only a few years, or maybe decades — we expect the world to be a lot different than the one we grew up in, thanks to such massive technological leaps. In the third place, we have (11% votes) Play2Earn for Beginners: Where to Start The industry of blockchain and NFT games is just developing, but we can already see how the market is filled with games of various genres with their own characteristics and capabilities. In the near future, the growth of this segment of the crypto market will grow, and the number of users making money while playing will definitely increase. Thank you, @sergey-baloyan, for sharing such insightful stories with the community. We will contact the winners soon. All hail to decentralization… AND HackerNoon Community!
