Bob
Signed simply 'Bob' — the closing note calls him the person who stacked the first stack after AzHodl's Genesis Stack — this essay treats Stackchain as an attempt at a decentralized society with no Satoshi and no way to enforce rules. Bob recounts the earliest protocol drift, the fork that orphaned a large account's bid for block 69, the invention of stackjoins and multi-blocks, and the 'lord of the flies' dynamic where whoever can burn the most cuckbucks decides direction. He then explains the birth of the OGchain: contributors with little cuckbucks but lots of memes and organization left, the mainchain eventually accommodated them, and after several rotations Bob made a permanent move.
