The story in one line: @thuntnet was your personal handle with essentially no audience (peak 199 tweets in 2014, then long silence). @MadBitcoins was the show — 91K tweets over 13 years, 30K originals with rich engagement history. Nearly all the "conversations" you're remembering happened on @MadBitcoins, not @thuntnet.

Year-by-year engagement — @MadBitcoins

All numbers below are for @MadBitcoins alone. Peak per-original engagement hit 10.18 (RT+FAV)/original in 2017. Something happened in 2020-2022 — average engagement per original fell to 4-6, and total interactions collapsed too.

Year-by-year — @thuntnet (personal handle)

The personal handle rarely got engagement — probably a private circle. And brain doesn't have RT/fav counts for it (the ndjson capture skipped those fields).

The reason this won’t work Is because “blockchain” is not a truth machine. If you put false data in, it puts false data out. The #Bitcoin Blockchain is a truth machine. But the only truth it tells is who owns the Bitcoin. https://x.com/business/status/990095810972012544
