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 -

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.

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

Was my entry accepted?
Ok, we're out of the woods, the contest is now closed.
I'll do judging of entries and announce the winner later today.

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!

No twitter here but anyway, 1989 was a good year:
Apart from the default RPC port number, genesis.nNonce = 1989891989 and you can blame Lee E. McMahon (1931-1989) for sed's syntax...
Looking into code reveals that hash of 1989 helps to make sure that interest rate is same across all the system, no idea how
It will take 1989 days to release a working cpu miner, 1989 HOdl will be price for 1 BTC at that time and exactly 1989 people will make fortune out of this coin. Sending 1989 HOdl to address "1989" will make you instant millionaire..
Not all of you may know but the code was developed while sitting on a bench in the park and dev spotted 1989 squirrels working, before he hit enter for the final time.
- C standard was ratified as ANSI X3.159-1989 "Programming Language C".
- start of The Simpsons series
- Metallica released …And Justice for All

It's against forum rules to run a contest like this here - so this post is just for the announcement. It's nuts, but entries have to be by twitter.
Can I say it here? If it's right I'll create a Twitter account and retweet.
There is a vintage wine called 'Cruz Vintage Porto 1989'
As many people say, the longer you hold your wine the more it's worth which is basically similar to hodl.
1989 = vintage port = reference to wine?
I'm stupid.

About HOdlcoin.
HOdlcoin pays interest on every balance, and had big interest bonuses for early adopters. Like the prizes above, an amount of HODL now can be term locked for a period of a year and grow in size by 34 times. That's down from 40 times last month, and will be down to 30 times next month.
