Welcome to this week’s newsletter. We had some good posts this week. @Radentor released his updated, comprehensive bitcoin ecosystem map, which easily took the top position. Check it out if you haven’t already. Thanks to everyone who contributed, and have a good week.
Top 5 Posts Of The WeekTop 5 Posts Of The Week
There will be a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
- 250 sats
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Friday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly after 9:00am every Friday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I hope I don’t need to suspend awards, so I will keep the bar low. Also, I reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.

DarthCoin’s GuidesDarthCoin’s Guides
DarthCoin is a somewhat controversial figure with a manner that may take some getting used to, but I think his guides are excellent as step by step instruction. The sentence structure might be unconventional, and he may express some strong opinions, but you will learn what he has set out to teach you. Here is a link to DarthCoin’s Substack Page, where you can find all of DarthCoin’s guides: https://darthcoin.substack.com/
Radentor’s Ecosystem MapRadentor’s Ecosystem Map
@Radentor has created a comprehensive ecosystem map. I believe he intends to keep this list updated Beginners will benefit from checking it out, as will experienced bitcoiners.
Why Bitcoin OnlyWhy Bitcoin Only
Why Bitcoin Only is a massive trove of links, where you can find just about anything you’re looking for. It’s also fun to browse around.
Top Posts Of All TimeTop Posts Of All Time
Here you will find a few of the top posts that have been posted to this territory. I am not going to adhere to a rigid zaprank system, since my purpose is to highlight content that has educational value. I will use an informal combination of zaprank and my own evaluation. For instance, some posts, though of high quality, are solely about Stacker News, and might have more appropriately originated as a meta post.

Cool! Thanks for the newsletter!
Rightly at top the the ecosystem map is an amazing post for learners.
Thank you so much! When I win here, It feels quite an achievement! I'm here to learn and if me posting a simple question makes so value, I feel so grateful to SN for it.
Good questions are valuable for all of us, and we're all learning.
Yes, that's what I think ~Bitcoin_Beginners should be more like.
I myself have doubts as to getting myself ranked among the Top 5 ever but if the bounty is this big. I would try my very best. Wish me good luck and thanks for the newsletter. @siggy47
This is so cool and thank you. My friend encouraged me to come on here and I do not regret it one bit.
Cheers to us all, the early evangelists of the Bitcoin standard and we hope to all enjoy and leave behind a 'sound ecosystem' for generations to come.
Don’t forget about the Gen Z whitepaper! https://thebullishbitcoiner.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/bitcoin-whitepaper-for-gen-z.pdf 😎
Ohh that's a point here

If you would like me to change the way you are listed in the index, just let me know. I will probably be taking down the pinned post soon. I'll wait until SN offers an editable type post.
