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:

Solving the Bitcoin Adoption Dilemma by @CarlBMenger

@CarlBMenger posted this more than a year and a half ago. Today his thoughts on the hodl/spend dilemma are more relevant than ever. BlackRock, Saylor, and Bitcoin Strategic Reserves don’t ensure bitcoin will be useful as money to buy stuff.

Cut the crap and stop creating Bitcoin BS idolsby @fedelang

@fedelang is a bitcoin miner from Argentina. He certainly knew about Milei earlier than most of us:

Also worth to mention his experience with "crypto" lead him to promote a blatant scam to his 1.3M followers about CoinX and got him a criminal complaint being filed a while back.

Equally importantly, he warns us against worshipping any heroes or idols.

I love this line:

Sooner than later ur crush idol will go all full Nic Carter on you.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I see @CarlBMenger is very active on X. Why are these guys not here anymore? What's stopping them when they're bitcoiners?

I think he has mainly been active here with reposts he published elsewhere. He did interact and reply, though.

I think the key on the adoption dilemma is that some of us just have to take the initiative and spend our bitcoin, whenever the opportunity is there, and try to only accept bitcoin, whenever possible.

Excellent and well timed blast from the past
