What happened

Written for the first edition, this piece defines Stackchain as a meme that channels the hopeful, creative nature of Bitcoiners and recounts its origin: ArizonanHodl's July 18, 2022 tweet of a $5 smash buy with the invitation 'Feel free to join me.' It describes the resulting chain of smash buys, each a dollar higher, as the longest chain of replies to a single tweet in Twitter history, and lists the community's offline impact. It also credits the attention from Bitcoin companies such as Swan, Fold and rumors about Strike, and the birth of Proof of Ink.
