News Of The Week

Welcome to this week’s issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. Once again, thanks for all of the quality posts.

This week @Coinsreporter wrote a post originally in the ~bitcoin_beginners territory that has been added here to the “My Bitcoin Journey” section. I encourage everyone, and particularly all of the new stackers here on SN, to tell us their own bitcoin origin story.

Remember, next week I will announce details of our next writing contest.

That’s it for now.

I hope everyone has a good week.

Siggy’s Suggestions

Wife's Cancer Diagnosis (Part #5) by @hodlpleb

@hodlpleb is an inspiration to all of us. He shares his family’s journey here regularly. Stackers get a chance to show their support and share their advice, but we all get back more from @hodlpleb than we give.

your 20's should be the years of exploration: and here's why by @speakingyourtruth

This is a wonderfully written post about life’s journey and the importance of exploration. Even an old guy can relate. @speakingyourtruth also posted this week’s top post, so I’m guessing we have more gems to look forward to from this account.

This week’s Golden Oldie:

Grayruby’s Bitcoin Story by @grayruby

Today’s Golden Oldie is @grayruby’s winning submission for our first writing contest. It is a fascinating tale that I have enjoyed rereading a few times already. I think you will enjoy it. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to tell their bitcoin story. I will include them in our index.

I completely ignored my own deadline so I am keeping quiet. Great post as usual.

Don't you feel guilty about these self imposed deadlines? We should cut ourselves some slack. You, in particular, face a deadline every day.

I don't feel guilty per se but I do feel not posting a bitcoin fiction short story on halving day when it just happened to coincide with my personal deadline for said story was a missed opportunity. At least in terms of fit. Without giving too much away there is a bit of synergy between the resolution of the story and the new block subsidy. So it feels it would have been fitting.
