Solve me if you can Stage II Phase 2 Winner

Congratulation Hive account@clevershovel for solving Stage II of this series. Check your wallet for your reward.

And now for anyone curious the way you had to go to solve it:

• This time there wasnt anything else inside of the post except the picture and the text itself.
• To get to the codeword you just had to download the picture and open it in notepad or a hex editor and you would see some binary at the bottom.
• I had to encode the codeword twice to make sure the text would be easy to spot so you had to decode it twice a tool of your choice
• Afterwards you would get the codeword "lollipop" which i was looking for

Im going to post Stage III today because i still have some time to spare. Stay tuned :D
