The SECOND place goes to “Is Blockchain Technology Compatible With True User Privacy?” by @bensoncrypto!

Data privacy has become an increasingly important topic for regulators in the past few years. I'm sure you've all grown tired of the GDPR pop-up notices that appear on every site, blocking out a substantial amount of the screen saying "We value your privacy". You then have to choose to either accept or reject the site’s tracking cookies, with some sites restricting your access if you reject their cookies.

Well done, @bensoncrypto!! You’ve won $300!!

In the THIRD place, we have “Blockchain 101: Blockchain for Dummies” by @talktomaruf!

A blockchain can be thought of as an electronic database that holds information but in a digital format. The innovative idea brought about by a blockchain is that it ensures the accuracy and safety of data records and establishes confidence without the requirement of a third party or centralized bodies that can be relied upon.

Congratulations @talktomaruf! You’ve won $100!!

On that note, let’s wrap up the announcement! We will contact the winners shortly. Keep an eye on contests.hackernoon.com to see the current and upcoming writing contests!
