What Is This?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:
I was reminded of this AMA when I heard Lyn Alden speak last week. I think now is as good a time as ever to have an all Lyn Golden Oldie.
@elvismercury held the first book club ever on Stacker News, and he couldn’t have picked a better book than Lyn Alden’s Broken Money. This is part one, in the replies. so maybe stackers can link to the other installments in the replies. For some reason I could not easily find them.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Here’s a link to last week’s post:

It's probably because I changed the name to "Broken Money" book club:
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
After part 4, because the discussion was so long and unwieldy, for part 5 I broke them into separate questions, which are harder to find.
Tech determinism
Cycles and inevitability
Network effects
The nature of scarcity
Privacy tradeoffs
I think that's all of them.
My policy on these things is that, if anyone ever comments, I will still see it and reply if I have anything useful to say -- in service of evergreen-ness. So please, do comment, the discussion is still alive, in my heart at least :)
Thanks! I got myself completely confused this morning. Maybe you should make a consolidated post? This is valuable content that should be easily available.
Okay, posted. I struggled figuring out where it should go between ~bitcoin, ~BooksAndArticles, and ~meta, but decided on B&A; so I added a bit potentially of interest to those readers.
First time in my life I've wanted cross-posting.
Good idea, will do so later today.
Come back on SN Lyn. Will it into existence Siggy!
Thanks for bringing about Lyn. He's becoming my new favourite very rapidly.
Really a great man of Wisdom.
