1989 is a tribute to Taylor Swift's pop tour-de-force Album, 1989. I spent a lot of time listening to this album while coding the initial release of HOdlcoin and so it was the natural number to choose.

There were three valid correct entries -

Thanks everybody for entering!

That's me, and I picked it first.

nearly impossible to guess :-D
honestly the first thing that comes to my mind about 1989 is the fall of the Berlin Wall (which has "musical consequences" as well, see the famous concert).
it was also during those years that progressive metal, and other common hard and prog crossovers (and extremes), were conceived.

They were all equally entertaining (not entertaining at all!) so I'm splitting the top prize 3 ways.

Most entertaining, again it's tough to choose - these were all pretty good, so I'm splitting it 3 ways.

n.b. that whole episode was subsequently expunged from the records.

There was some confusion about the most retweeted so I will split this too -

Best to add a followup tweet - as long as it is not a separate entry, it's fine!

Okay. Just let us know if there's anything more that needs to be done. Concerned that a followup tweet will get lost among other tweets. As long as you have a way to compile all the guesses systematically, should be all right.

Getting very close to the end of the contest now . . . give us your best guesses on twitter!

I was thinking of adding to my tweet, i.e. adding a backstory. Could I make a Pastebin and send it to you directly perhaps? Tweets are limited by character count, as you may know.

Dev,what do you mean with this?

Second prize of 500 HODL for most entertaining tweet.
Third prize of 500 HODL for most re-tweeted entry.

how can I get more retweets if it is not my tweet,but I retweeted your tweet?

Oh dear. Yes you caught me! Truth is . . . I haven't the faintest idea what a twitter is. My nephew said it would be a good thing to get involved with.

So you can't retweet a retweet? That's a travesty and violation of your first amendment rights, in my humble opinion.

So what should I award the third prize for?

You can always use Likes I'm pretty sure if you are liking the main Twitter post submissions.

That's a good plan - third prize for the most likes for an entry. Thank you!
