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:
Most stackers know @ek for all he does in coding and development on SN, but in my opinion, he is also a talented creative writer. He has posted some very interesting, unique content here, and I decided to post an example this week. The post is in two parts due to its length.
I guess this week is highlighting prominent stacker’s near tragic personal stories. This is a very personal post from @DarthCoin where he describes a terrifying near death experience that changed him forever.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Here’s a link to last week’s post:

I had totally missed that @ek story. What an intensity of feeling in those words

I wish he would let loose and write more. Or, maybe he is writing, but not posting here?

He must be writing about his experience in Madeira as a bitcoiner! I'd at least like to know what it was like.

It would be awesome if you could write about what it's like to live in Madeira as a bitcoiner. Are there actually a lot of places to spend sats? I don't remember seeing any when I was there (more than 7 years).

But I am not here as a bitcoiner 👀
But if it makes you happy: here in Santa Cruz, I have seen zero bitcoin signs.
