That's what sells in articles. You aren't going to get an interesting article describing some guy who invested early in crypto but still spends days coding and trying improve the ecosystem or just build something, even unrelated to crypto. Not possible to get in touch with such people to write an article, not possible to find them.
That's where the bias is coming from that is shaping how many people perceive Bitcoin and crypto community in general. Those who want attention are more likely to get it.
Even the Pineapple Fund, briefly mentioned here, being as awesome as it is, doesn't get much recognition. Because it's not an interesting story. Specific people make interesting stories, preferably with pictures. And saying some controversial things.
But that's just how our brains work. Even though it's HN, we are both in this thread, while there are many more tech oriented Bitcoin articles in new that will never hit the frontpage.
