Son of Sats: Bitcoin Twitter Interview Series
Skinner. @YoshishiSatoshi
Foreword:
I met skinner on Twitter - initially, he seemed to be a shy persona. I respected the way he communicated with me as he was anon to me. I had the pleasure to meet him personally at Pacific Bitcoin. After that - our Twitter friendship has grown to be a little more open. One thing I can say is that skinner is a very deep individual, the “shallowness” that I was perceiving from him initially completely vanished, and now I know he is an incredible pleb and OG stackchainer. I know for a fact that he is a friend anyone would be lucky to have, a solid dude. I am lucky to be able to consider him my friend.

Questions:
1. Skinner, you are a well-known stackchain pleb. Your Twitter handle has tons of verified blocks you claim. Can you explain the stack chain to someone that is new to bitcoin twitter?
Stackchain is a Twitter thread of bitcoiners buying bitcoin.
2. Why did you decide on a picture of the Simpson's character Nelson, but the name of another character, Principal Skinner? Is this a correct assumption?
I chose Nelson because of his signature point and laugh. I enjoy pointing and laughing when shitcoiners and leverage traders get rekt. My original handle was bt_skimmer. Someone started calling me Skinner on the stackchain so I kept it.
3. When did you first become aware of Bitcoin and do you remember the first time you stacked sats? That moment when satoshi took your virginity
I came in contact with Bitcoin in 2010. I didn't understand it and didn't start buying until 2017.
4. Have you ever mined Bitcoin? Would you recommend anyone to do it today as an experiment or as a way to stack a few sats here and there?
I mined some. I made the mistake of using a hosting service instead of mining at home and I got screwed. If I ever mine again it will be at home.
5. Have you ever run your own Bitcoin node? Do you think everyone that believes in bitcoin needs to run one?
I run my own node. I think running your own node makes sense but it's good that people are able to use Bitcoin without one.
6. Who is your favorite stackchain pleb Twitter persona?
I don't have favorites, I enjoy them all.
7. Who do you think Satoshi Nakamoto is? I personally believe it could be Nick Szabo or someone close to him. And do you believe satoshi is dead?
My hunch is that Len Sassaman was Satoshi.
8. How has your life changed since you comprehended what Bitcoin means to humanity?
It changed in almost every way. I quit my fiat career path. People say Bitcoin is the most important thing they could be working on. I say that too.
9. When do you plan to stop mining stackchain blocks?
As long as I have fresh fiat coming in, I'll mine blocks on the stackchain. The goal for me is to get on zero fiat. At that point, I won't be mining blocks on stackchain, but I will be watching it and staying engaged with my stackchain friends.
10. What do you enjoy doing when you are not on Twitter, shit posting, and talking stackchain?
I like to smoke weed and play guitar.
11. What would you say to someone who likes bitcoin but is still buying shitcoins?
Shitcoins are all scams. It's a few grifters that realized they could print their own money to raise Bitcoin at the expense of naive investors.
Stick to Bitcoin.
12. Can you share your all-time favorite Bitcoin meme from any bull or bear market?
Stackchain
13. What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear the word TIP?
Stackchain
14. A lot of bitcoiners believe in spending your bitcoin to help adoption. Do you like to spend your bitcoin? And if so, what is the stupidest thing you spent bitcoin on?
I have some Bitcoin that I plan to spend on myself and some I plan to never spend. The worst thing I ever bought with Bitcoin was shitcoins
15. Lastly, as the block of stackchain become harder and harder to mine (difficulty increase) do you think that a certain block height there will be enough plebs willing to stack to mine one last one?
Stackchain will keep going as long as somewhere in the world there is a way to buy Bitcoin with fiat and take a screenshot. I think it will end after that.
