[bestbits] SC Candidate SOI: A few ideas for Bestbits

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Dear Ayden, Michael and all

Thank you for your support so kind words.
It also helps me understand the importance of this community and how
essential it is that we strenghten it together.
I guess we're lucky to have so many good candidates and we can
certainly try many strategies with these bright minds together.

Best regards,

Renata
