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:
It’s hard to believe, but I have never featured one of @birdeye21’s posts. He was a SN superstar until real life caused him to vanish. I hope he reappears soon. He had a knack for inspiring great discussions, as this post demonstrates.
I really enjoyed this post when it originally appeared. I’m sure many stackers can relate to the issues raised by this discussion, although maybe mainstream acceptance and a crazy bull run have made things easier.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Here’s a link to last week’s post:

Maybe, but my wife mentioned Bitcoin to a neighbor who responded "Is Bitcoin still a thing?"

Your neighbor must have been stuck in time! Ahahah

Just another reminder about how early we still are.

I’ve never been great at maintaining an online presence. These days especially, even finding the right words to reflect my inner thought world feels like more effort than it’s worth. I'm around though. In the words of a @plebpoet haiku:
still i can hear them in the other room. but here i, we, are silent.

irrelevant. he knew what he was talking about. and the shit done to him, the playbook used to take advantage of him and subsequently isolate him, was, in my opinion/observation, done to a decent number of people.
I also have an "I should have left" moment at a startup. It was a month in, when one of the folks with influence told me "I enjoy pitting people against each other." No lies were detected in this statement.

it's true, birdeye21 had some great posts! Sounds like another satoshi to me. It's a shame!
