The write-in votes were interesting, as well. Calling us out for not mentioning bitcoin (BTC) was a big favorite.

Yours truly, however, felt there were far better ways to spend your cash. I have a Chef Robuchon in stained condition that I hope to one day trade for a used Camry.

The voting is still open so head over and make your voice heard.
