Hi Hackers! A new year means it’s time to reflect on the key moments that shaped the digital landscape in 2024. At HackerNoon, we’ve always believed in the power of curiosity and conversation. That’s why our weekly polls have become a cornerstone of how we engage with our audience. They’re not just questions—they’re windows into what’s captivating the minds of the HackerNoon community. Polls That Stole the Spotlight This past year, our polls explored every corner of technology and beyond, ranging from discussions on Web3 and the metaverse to lighthearted favorites like “What’s your web browser of choice?” Or perhaps you passionately responded to questions like, 'Do you believe aliens are living in the ocean?' Well, we asked, and you answered! Let’s take a moment to spotlight the most-voted polls of 2024: Who do YOU think will win the US elections? (607 votes)


Would You Take a 4-Year Cruise to Escape Trump's Presidency? (604 votes)


Do You Think Donald Trump Becoming U.S. President is Good for the Future of Crypto? (579 votes)


Do you still believe in the Metaverse? (578 votes)


How do you keep track of your passwords? (573 votes)


What is your web browser of choice? (550 votes)


Will You Purchase Any of Apple's New Products? (516 votes)


What Do You Think Will Be The Most Important Tech Skill To Have For Future Careers? (504 votes)


Do You Believe That Aliens Are Living In The Ocean? (483 votes)


If Apple dropped its Vision Pro from $3,500 to $2,000, would it catch your eye? (472 votes) Polls are a great way to kick off lively conversations with your friends, family, and fellow netizens. Who knows, they might even inspire you to whip up a story for HackerNoon! Polls regarding the 2024 Presidential election unsurprisingly drew massive engagement. Elections often dominate public discourse, and the intersection of politics and tech enthusiasts made this poll a hotspot for predictions and engagements. Emerging tech and trends such as Apple’s new Vision Pro addressed price sensitivity in the market and fascination with their product ecosystem. It’s no surprise this poll gained traction, as the company’s innovations consistently dominate tech headlines. Our polls are more than just a collection of data—they’re a mix of intrigue, practicality, humor, and forward-thinking questions. They aim to unite the HackerNoon community through insightful and engaging discussions. Check out these examples of buzzworthy polls that got the HackerNoon community buzzing with excitement: Do You Think Donald Trump Becoming U.S. President is Good for the Future of Crypto? 71% of voters indicated Donald Trump’s victory would positively impact the future of cryptocurrency—and they were absolutely right. With Bitcoin surpassing the $100K milestone, crypto proponents and longtime HODLers have plenty to celebrate. The president-elect has already made moves by appointing David Sacks as his “crypto czar.” The future remains bright as we might see regulations on cryptocurrency being favorable to the industry and its proponents. See what our community had to say about this topic: https://hackernoon.com/donald-trump-returns-to-the-white-house-heres-what-it-means-for-bitcoin?embedable=true https://hackernoon.com/donald-trump-$80k-bitcoin-and-the-strategic-bitcoin-reserve?embedable=true Do You Believe That Aliens Are Living In The Ocean? Whether or not aliens are actually living thousands of meters beneath the ocean’s surface, one thing is certain: humans have explored only about 5% of the ocean, leaving the vast majority uncharted. Want to dive “deeper” into the mystery? Some believe that octopus eggs were brought to Earth by meteors around 540 million years ago because of the unusual anomalies in their genetic structure. In other news, the skies over New Jersey buzzed with mystery as enigmatic drones danced above, sparking wild debates. Were they just hobbyist toys, secret spy gadgets, or perhaps something a little... extraterrestrial? Things got even juicier when the FBI admitted during congressional hearings that they had no clue who was behind these airborne enigmas. We’ll discuss this more on our polls! Superstars of the Polling Booth It’s not just about the questions but also about the incredible engagement from you—our community. Some of you took polling to the next level, casting your votes week after week and solidifying your status as our Top 20 Poll Voters of 2024. Let’s give a massive shout-out to these super-engaged readers who have become the true MVPs of HackerNoon polling: User Handle
