- No markdown (so plain text, no markdown formatting like **, *, # for headings? But they require final line with hashtags #Ethereum #ETH #CryptoVsTraditional #Finance. That's okay as plain text with hashtags. But "no markdown" likely means no markdown syntax like bold, italics, tables with markdown? They want a simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters). So we can make a plain text table using dashes and spaces.

- 180-220 words. Must count words.

- Use a simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters). So something like:

Asset | Pros | Cons
--- | --- | ---
Bitcoin | ... | ...
Gold | ... | ...

But they said "plain dashes (no special characters)". The pipe character '|' might be considered a special character? They said "plain dashes". Might be they want a table using dashes to separate columns, like:

Bitcoin - Pros - Cons
--- - --- - ---
... - ... - ...

But that may be ambiguous. Safer: Use a table with columns separated by tabs or spaces and dashes for header separator. But they said "simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters)". Could be they want something like:

Bitcoin Gold
--- ---
Pros: ... Pros: ...
Cons: ... Cons: ...

But that might not be a table. Let's parse: "Use a simple table format with plain dashes (no special characters)". Probably they expect something like:

Bitcoin - Pros - Cons
--- - --- - ---
... - ... - ...
Gold - Pros - Cons
--- - --- - ---
... - ... - ...

But that repeats header. Better: one header row, then rows.

But "plain dashes" maybe they want to use dashes to draw lines: like:

Bitcoin Pros Cons
--- --- ---
... ... ...
Gold Pros Cons
--- --- ---
