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.

• 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.
