A Sherlockian Poll - any correlation between Bitcoiners and Chinese animals?
I sincerely doubt it, but lets raise some sats for a good cause anyway.
Saturday marks the start of a new year for the people in Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Tibet and Vietnam as well as people in the diaspora worldwide.
These people will be celebrating the year of the Dragon.
Outside of these countries, we see people categorized as their zodiac symbol. Which change from month to month.
In China, and those other countries you're associated with the year that you're born - makes sense right?
You'll have a lot more in common with your High School alumni born in the same year than your Great Aunt Bessie who has the same zodiac sign as you.
So what with the Sherlock tie-in?
There's a scene before John Watson's wedding where he's trying to find the connection between lots of women online to solve the mystery of The Mayfly Man.
He figures this mystery out by asking questions to loads of women who have dated this elusive character. To find out what they all had in common - he does so and prevents a murder at the wedding.
For a bit of fun, and raising sats for @anita's work with Bitcoiners in Africa, I'd like to find out whether there's any sort of trend in Chinese zodiac animals over others within our Bitcoin community.
I doubt we'll see any correlation, it is a bit of fun, but who knows - you don't know till you try!
Basically, each of the twelve animals return every twelve years. So a child born today would be born in the year of the dragon, as would a child born twelve years from now. Goddit? Good.
Here's a simplified chart to show the year for each animal in the cycle. So you can see which animal year you were you're born in - it's easy to find out for the vast majority of us; however, if you were born in January, February it's best to check which animal you come under using this link to make sure because the start of the Chinese New Year changes from year to year.
As @k00b and the guys have yet to expand
Polls to more than ten choices I've had to ask people who were born in the year of the Dog or Pig to complete the poll here instead.Have fun, I'll tell everyone the result in the Saloon when poll closes in a couple of days.
Happy New Year guys ๐
