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:

Introduction to the Bitcoin only scene in Japan. by @Dash_1971

I enjoy reading about the history of bitcoin, so I remembered reading about Ver in Japan and of course the MT Gox mess. Still, I just assumed that there wasn’t much going on in Japan regarding bitcoin after those events, since I hadn’t come across any articles or podcasts discussing the country. This post opened my eyes.

Ark AMA by @brqgoo

Whether you love Ark or hate it, this AMA gave stackers the chance to talk to Burak about the project and his thoughts on bitcoin level 2. He also talks about his dramatic LN transaction that almost brought down the network. Last week I listened to a Guy Swan “Bitcoin Audible” episode where Guy and Burak discuss the latest developments. I would recommend you give it a listen if you’re interested in Ark, or even if you just want to hear some good discussion about bitcoin.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Really great post about Japan. I've read it before as well, I think. But it's a great read again. I think the same about India. There's not much Bitcoin thing here. People are more interested I staying poor in shitcoins. I talked a person yesterday and he just suggested me a list of shitcoins by which he aims to be super rich. The fun thing is this that I've never listened about any of those his suggestions..

I would like to see more posts about Ark. I saw supertesnet post some promising things and some criticism about ark on twitter a couple weeks ago.

Good article on Japan, which is a forerunner of bitcoin. It's a pity that it has also grown a lot in shaltcoins.

The LN transactions are becoming more and more popular so we cannot avoid them to be integrated with several projects either there are issues or drawbacks on payments.
