What Is This?What Is This?

This is a recurring post inspired by discussions had by @Undisciplined, @elvismercury and others regarding evergreen content on SN. I’ll dig back into the past to try to locate some great posts that might be worth another read. I plan to release a new Golden Oldies every other Tuesday.

Here are this week’s selections:

This is an old, classic bitcoin article written by gwern in 2011. We can all still learn a lot from it. The premise: bitcoin is ugly, and that’s a good thing.

Here’s how the article originally appeared in a publication called Bitcoin Weekly:

The first post got me thinking about classic articles, and of course this one by Nick Szabo came to mind. Turns out I was the first of many stackers to post it on SN, so excuse me if I highlighted one of my own posts.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Here’s a link to last week’s post:

Evergreen content like this is so valuable, especially in a space that moves as fast as ours. It’s a great reminder of where we’ve come from and why we’re here.

Keep these Golden Oldies coming!
