For top contribution in Computer Science we have the Turing Prize. Should there be a “Satoshi” Prize of similar kind for innovations in Blockchain. It can be a fully decentralized award and the name of the winner embedded permanently on a blockchain. What do you guys think?
[Reality check: As per 2017 Gartner hype cycle blockchain has entered into the “trough of disillusionment” phase. Hacks and ponzi ICO have been behind this. Genuine prizes like this can motivate true innovations.]
