News Of The Week

Welcome to the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts.

This was another good week. I’m happy to see that we’re still getting lots of quality content, although the sats totals may be lower. I guess 100k will do that.

I have three Siggy’s Suggestions this week, but there could have been more. So many good posts seem not to get the attention they deserve, but hopefully this newsletter provides some visibility.

Happy reading!

As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

This post deserved far more attention than it got. I am very happy that @Bit_Alb chose to post this in our territory. Not only did I learn about a book from a famous author that I had never heard of before, but I got a window into life in Albania back in the 1960s and 1970s. I sincerely hope @Bit_Alb continues to educate us here on Stacker News.

FICTION PERSPECTIVE: A Lodging of Wayfaring Men by Paul Rosenberg by @21futures

Here is a very good book review by @21futures that should be of interest to all of us here on SN.

A review of David Brin’s “Earth” by @Rothbardian_fanatic

This is the first book review we have gotten from @Rothbardian_fanatic, and it’s a good one. Unfortunately it passed under the radar, probably because of all the bull market mania. I hope this is the first of many from this account.

I love that my referral @21futures got a shoutout for his book review! #790012

I am reminded I need to read @grayruby bitcoin story #417967 before I record podcast with him

I’m desperate for @Undisciplined bitcoin story!!

93 sats \ 11 replies \ @Undisciplined 7 Dec

Just read @grayruby's and then assume mine is similarly dramatic.

35 sats \ 9 replies \ @grayruby 7 Dec

The real question is has Darth ever called you a shitcoiner? Or is he unaware of your deep dark past on Minds?

40 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 7 Dec

I don’t recall if Darth ever called me a “shitcoiner”. He may have once when I shared a Bitcoin University video that he didn’t approve of.

I never shilled for Minds on here, which probably saved me.

40 sats \ 7 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 7 Dec

Omg wtf is Minds?

Should I be proud that @DarthCoin has never called me a shitcoiner? Just a statist because I voted?

21 sats \ 6 replies \ @grayruby 7 Dec

It is some crypto version of SN for pseudo intellectuals except you get their shitcoin Minds token instead of sats. Never used it but I know the one who lacks discipline used it prior to SN and tried to recruit SN users from there to no avail.

Yes quite impressive you have yet to be called a shitcoiner. I think Darth called me a shitcoiner early on for posting about ETH even though I was trashing it. Haha

40 sats \ 4 replies \ @Undisciplined 7 Dec

You stacked the deck on me a bit.

Minds was made as a free speech alternative to Twitter, before Stacker News existed.

Let’s not forget that I found Stacker News before either of you, so you can ride your high-horses right on out of here.

16 sats \ 3 replies \ @grayruby 8 Dec

By one day. Haha

I didn’t say Minds didn’t have any value proposition. Just pointing out they had their own shitcoin.

Maybe SN will create their own shitcoin with taproot assets.

I found Stacker News before it was cool

As if being on SN makes you cool and not a total geek/nerd 🤣🤣

Been bitcoin only forever for me, but most likely to my detriment haha. I’m so late!

I cannot assume. After all he’s Canadian

53 sats \ 7 replies \ @siggy47 OP 7 Dec

Yes, I would like that bitcoin story too.

43 sats \ 6 replies \ @Undisciplined 7 Dec

Here it is, then:

I got interested in bitcoin through the Ron Paul Revolution, attempted and failed to mine some, succame to Schiffian FUD. Years later, I found Stacker News and got set straight.

53 sats \ 5 replies \ @siggy47 OP 7 Dec

You could have dragged it out a little. Embellished here and there. Get the narrative arc going.

43 sats \ 0 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 7 Dec

Agreed!

43 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 7 Dec

If that were true, I would have entered your contest. My Bitcoin journey was very boring.

44 sats \ 2 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 7 Dec

How could you be fooled by charlatan Peter Schiff? How did u discover stacker news if u were a hater? How did SN convince u?

@Coinsreporter also said SN was his orange pill moment!

I never had anything against bitcoin, but I didn’t think bitcoin-like things could be scarce.

Narrator: they are.

I am very grateful to SN and especially to this territory. Some time ago I made my post about my Bitcoin journey thanks to a suggestion from @siggy47.

During this time I have been studying and learning a lot about Bitcoin and everything related to it, but I have also enjoyed the experience of teaching others in a nascent Bitcoin community in my locality.

If I wanted to publish the journey of that community on Stacker News, would this territory be the appropriate one to do so?
