A transcribed May 21, 2023 interview with Bitcoin meme legend Yellow, produced by a multi-person Stackchain Magazine team and framed as a story about that day. Yellow discusses persisting through 559 DSB spaces episodes, learning bitcoin by getting rekt (shitcoin mining, Mt. Gox), the Meme Factory as his version of what Stackchain is to its members, Greek austerity as his on-ramp, sacrifice and his 'inner Cypher' allegory, scam red flags, the role and limits of memes, and his December 23, 2022 bottom call. The piece closes with his 'last words' inviting people to meet him at the halving party.
