What Is This?
This is a recurring post inspired by discussions had 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 release a new Golden Oldies every Tuesday.
Here are this week’s selections:
This post was made almost exactly one year ago to the day. It is as relevant as ever. @JoeNakamoto knows more about these issues than most, so his little rant was very enlightening. The discussion was lively and contained some shitposting.
This is an incredibly detailed post by @CarlBMenger about bitcoin adoption in Guatemala. You can learn a lot about the country here. The comments are lively, including a different perspective from a Guatemalan.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Here’s a link to last week’s post: #679487

Any body know about the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état? That was a dramatic event that shaped it for the long run

The United fruit Company was making a lot of money in the country but business had been affected by the softening of exploitative labor practices in Guatemala, which eventually lead to the overthrow of the Country. I was hoping more people could shine some light on it my grandfather use to live there and escaped this coup d ‘e ‘tat but he kept it a secret and never really told us about it
