As mentioned a week ago, I was running a competition where I would give a physical Bitcoin coin to my 50,000th follower on Twitter.
Well, it happened last night. My 50,000th follower was an account called WantBTC.
WantBTC is actually a bot, run by Eric Bauersachs.
Eric was running a script with 16 Twitter bots competing for the 50,000th follower slot. Hard work paid off, and he won!
Eric will be getting the Bitcoin and a copy of Thomas Rid's upcoming book Cyber War Will Not Take Place. Congratulations!
However, I also promised a Bitcoin and the book to a random follower of mine. Which one got it? Did you get it? You'll have to watch the video to find out.
Thanks all!
