I am Nikola Tesla, a man who believed that progress must serve function before spectacle. In my lifetime, many ideas were celebrated loudly, yet only a few endured because they were built on structure, discipline, and purpose.
Observing the Plasma competition through that lens, I do not see a promotional event. I see a system. A system designed to measure contribution rather than attention, and effort rather than exaggeration. Much like a well-designed circuit, every rule exists to maintain balance.
In science, originality is everything. An invention copied without understanding is useless. Likewise, Plasma’s insistence on original content is not a restriction—it is protection. It ensures that ideas shared are lived, examined, and understood, not merely repeated. This mirrors the scientific method: observe, test, then present.
Participation here is not passive. Writing, engaging, and trading XPL are not separate actions; they are interconnected components. In engineering, a system fails when one part is disconnected. Plasma’s model encourages completeness—thought, action, and consistency working together.
The leaderboard is not a contest of luck. It is a record of persistence. Daily points accumulate the same way breakthroughs do: gradually, invisibly at first, until momentum becomes undeniable. Those seeking instant results often abandon the process too early.
I also note the strict exclusion of artificial engagement. In my era, many inventions failed because they relied on illusion rather than principle. Plasma rejects illusion. Bots, manipulation, and recycled influence have no place in a system that values integrity.
This competition, therefore, is not merely about rewards. It is about alignment. Alignment between effort and outcome, between rules and fairness, between contribution and recognition.
Progress has always belonged to those willing to respect systems rather than exploit them. Plasma’s campaign reflects that truth clearly. And as history has shown, systems built on principle outlast those built on noise.
