Golden Oldies Newsletter, #1 \ stacker news ~meta

1473 sats \ 43 comments \ @siggy47 25 Jun meta

What Is this?

This is an experiment inspired by discussions and posts made by @Undisciplined, @elvismercury and others regarding evergreen content on SN. I will keep it simple at first, highlighting one or two Stacker News posts from the past each week that I believe were significant. I plan to post these newsletters every Tuesday.

Here are this week’s Posts:

SN Origin Story by @k00b

I know most of us have read this already, but it’s worth reading again.

ODELL HERE. AMA by @Odell

AMAs are always popular. I decided to start with Matt Odell because, well, everyone likes Matt Odell. I’m sure someone will challenge me about that.

Let me know what you think about this type post. Like I said, it’s an experiment.

Awesome!

I didn't know the SN origin story had already been written.

75 sats \ 13 replies \ @ek 25 Jun freebie

You never disappoint to disappoint.

the origin story is literally in the footer

64 sats \ 12 replies \ @Undisciplined 25 Jun

You didn't know either, deadbeat.

75 sats \ 11 replies \ @ek 25 Jun freebie

I am confused

64 sats \ 10 replies \ @Undisciplined 25 Jun

So, you knew but you never bothered to read it?

That's not better.

For the record, your comment was deceptively edited to make me look stupider than I already looked.

@ek never edits comments

11 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined 25 Jun

You've made an enemy on this day.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 25 Jun

He burns me all the time with edits lol

33 sats \ 2 replies \ @siggy47 OP 25 Jun

You both should be ashamed

75 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 25 Jun freebie

@Undisciplined is spreading fake news

65 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 25 Jun

Maybe so, but only because you wrote fake news and I trusted you.

I think you misread my comment, I did read the origin story. I might even know it by heart.

66 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 25 Jun

I think you miswrote it.

How else am I supposed to interpret "I didn't read it!"?

75 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 25 Jun freebie

I've read this story on my very first day. I think those who didn't know, should know that it exists!!

66 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 25 Jun

Great idea.

64 sats \ 0 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 25 Jun

nice idea! go ahead

96 sats \ 5 replies \ @Natalia 25 Jun

I like the idea, but at the same time, I think ppl should do the work themselves - how hard is it to simply hit the search? I mean Bitcoiners should go look for what they want instead of waiting to be spoonfed. 🤔

33 sats \ 4 replies \ @Undisciplined 25 Jun

There's value in sharing knowledge gained from experience.

21 sats \ 3 replies \ @Natalia 25 Jun

yes, if it's coming from your own experience; reposting / linking is a bit like telling others something you haven't done yourself; however, there is nothing wrong with that, but maybe what is really lacking is original content.

33 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined 25 Jun

This is from Siggy's experience. What am I missing?

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @Natalia 25 Jun

imagine if everyone started to do the same 👀 why not write about something actually unique / meaningful to yourself?

133 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 25 Jun

Why reinvent the wheel? If there's already a valuable post that people are unaware of, why not share it?

imagine if everyone started to do the same

Why? They aren't going to. We all look to make contributions in the environment as it exists. I doubt Siggy would have done this, if there were already a bunch of people doing it.

Amazing!

I'll come up with 'Rustic Latest'.

After all, @Undisciplined's 'On this day' post, it's a fashion to create your own newsletter!!!

76 sats \ 0 replies \ @BitcoinAbhi 25 Jun

I think this is a great idea. I will love to read it.

108 sats \ 4 replies \ @ek 25 Jun freebie

I know most of us have read this already, but it’s worth reading again.

I didn't read it! This was before my time on SN.

I decided to start with Matt Odell because, well, everyone likes Matt Odell. I’m sure someone will challenge me about that.

I used to not like him because all I knew about him was that he uses ALL CAPS ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

Then I watched this interview with him and now I think he's cool. An opinion that is now twice as informed as before.

Let me know what you think about this type post. Like I said, it’s an experiment.

I think it's cool. Maybe not as cool as @ODELL yet but maybe we'll get there.

64 sats \ 3 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 25 Jun

he uses ALL CAPS ALL THE FUCKING TIME

yea this irks me, too

25 sats \ 2 replies \ @siggy47 OP 25 Jun

This is what I'm looking for! A little controversy! Who needs this "stay humble and stack sats" crap?

119 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 25 Jun freebie

HOW DARE YOU NOT STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS

11 sats \ 0 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 25 Jun

54 sats \ 0 replies \ @riberet19 25 Jun

This is a fantastic idea, keep coming!

54 sats \ 0 replies \ @IamSINGLE 25 Jun

Nice! It would be perfect and will definitely give you some work other than replying in thr comments..

54 sats \ 0 replies \ @160ed04091 25 Jun

no argument here, matt odell is well know for this work in the cryptocurrency space, particularly around bitcoin he is a well regarded figure

54 sats \ 6 replies \ @DarthCoin 25 Jun

So now SN became an endless door into a door into a door loop, reading over and over same old posts, re-posted again and again?

What's the point of "related items" then? Are stackers out of any other new ideas of writing new posts ?

I think the weekly SN newsletter is enough.

52 sats \ 5 replies \ @siggy47 OP 25 Jun

*note to self: Pull that old @DarthCoin post from next week's draft.

138 sats \ 4 replies \ @DarthCoin 25 Jun

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @siggy47 OP 25 Jun

I asked for opinions. I always know you'll give me yours 😀

108 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 25 Jun

Should I make a newsletter with all my old warnings? 😂😂😂 that will drive mad ek

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @siggy47 OP 25 Jun

Yes, but only if you give a link to the Translation Guide.
