Stickied rbitcoin threads

The subreddit r/bitcoin is one of the largest bitcoin communities on the internet. As of December 2018 it has more than 1,000,000 subscribers.

Since around Late 2017 the moderators have stickied selected threads to the top of the forum. Generally threads which are high-effort, important or which might not have gotten many upvotes. They are aimed to counteract the trend of reddit's voting system making only low-effort content visible. If you have any suggestions for content then private message the r/bitcoin moderators.

Note that sometimes threads are unstickied and then stickied again, so the date stickied cant be used to find the duration the thread was up. Archive links alongside are preferable as backups. This list may be incomplete.
