For more than a month I took part in the ctp content writing challenge which meant making a post everyday until you complete at least 30 days, if you missed a day your progress would be reset. This lasted for 3 months and ended in November.  While it wasn't too difficult to post everyday, most of the time, there were days where I had to bend over backwards and prioritize posting on Hive over other real life things I had to do.

Yesterday the prizes for all the plebs that participated in the challenge were distributed by randomly choosing who got what. The good part is that everybody who completed the challenge won something, which is pretty cool. The sad part is that I got the smallest prize worth $10 of CTP miners, which I am grateful for but it's not what I was hoping for. Throughout the challenge I was salivating at the prizes in Hive and Index token worth hundreds of dollars and that was before Hive blew up. 

I guess I'm kind of an unlucky clown which is appropriate when you think about it, everybody loves to see clowns suffer :)
