What Is This?
This is an experiment inspired by discussions and posts made 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 make these posts every Tuesday.
Here are this week’s selections:
I’m sure most of you have seen @JoeNakamoto’s great videos either her on SN or elsewhere. This is different. His rant raises important issues and inspired good discussion.
Do you ever wonder whether it’s worth spending so much time on Stacker News? I don’t. You get an opportunity to engage with some of the great minds of the bitcoin project. @petertodd is pretty much in his own league when it comes to this. Just do a search. Watch an old video from 2014. He bought his first bitcoin for 20 cents. He was arguing about block size with Gavin Andresen when he was 15 years old. You can actually get into your own argument with him here on any given day, on just about any topic. You will probably lose.
Here, he takes some controversial positions that will probably rile up some of us. It’s tough to ignore him, though, since he almost certainly understands this stuff better than we do.
