Ask SN: what are your favorite blog posts of all time?

I came across this twitter thread: https://twitter.com/packyM/status/1570113307452792837

Then I got curious which are SN's favorites.

I find this Paul Graham essay on Web 2.0 topical (given we're living through "Web 3.0"), http://paulgraham.com/web20.html, but I'm struggling to find my favorite of all time.

this one. When I read it in 2014 I was fascinated. https://fee.org/articles/what-gave-bitcoin-its-value/

I recently read these 2:

"What is Money, Anyway?" - https://www.lynalden.com/what-is-money/
"A Look at the Lightning Network" - https://www.lynalden.com/lightning-network/

And I really enjoyed reading them (and learned a lot too).

This is not at what you were thinking about but back in my teenage years I followed a few (Tumblr-) blogs were people wrote about the drama in their personal lives with names abbreviated to A. and B. or with fake names

The stories were probably insanely exaggerated. There were even a few ""undercover"" blogs reporting on micro-famous people from Twitter (teenagers with 4k followers) à la Gossip Girl.

It's pretty cringe but at the time the drama queen in me loved following it. Pretty sure that none of them exist anymore
