2025
My 2025 archive is mostly Season 16, the season where I let Bitcoin's neighbors argue with it. Martti Malmi on 2009 and Satoshi, Eric Voskuil and John Carvalho, Saunter on Alby and Ben Arc on LNbits share the shelf with Vitalik Buterin, Zooko and Shai Wyborski, because you understand Bitcoin better once you have heard the strongest case against its choices.
