It's a long read - 18 minutes, it says.

But just: Wow.

For any other non-Americans like me: it may just be the most productive 18 minutes you can spend gaining invaluable insight into American political history. At least for me, it was. Even more so, if you're a bitcoiner (which I assume you are if you're reading this comment).

For Americans: do you all know this history? Is all this like "common knowledge" that you mostly just take for granted? Is it even accurate? Comprehensive? Biased?

I had no idea about any of it either. And I hope some Americans answer your questions because I genuinely want to know.

I hope so too.

Not holding my breath, though - even if just for the fact that Americans are geographically (thus naturally) more likely to see and respond to posts & comment in their time zone's waking hours.

I've noticed this on many platforms over the years. It is what it is.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I guess we'll never know, CuasCuasCuas.
