  Are we starting with this even here? Is there really no corner of the Internet that's immune to this bullcrap?

    I've always wondered if someone could make a browser plugin to filter anything involving cryptocurrency out of web sites like HN, /. or reddit? Having to read about all this every day contributes to unnecessary anxieties and stressors some folks don't need.

      I really don't see cryptocurrency pop up that often on HN or Reddit. It's usually only when a big event happens, like this post about the most actively used network launching their 2.0 update that's been in the works for the past 3-4 years. I feel like both communities generally do a good job of moderating away inconsequential cryptocurrency posts. Does seeing a fintech post on HN once in a blue moon (and choosing not to read it) really cause you that much anxiety?

        Well not me personally. I mean some of the commenters on this thread seem to be a bit irritated and the clashing that turns up afterwards in the comments, which seems relatively unproductive. It would be nice to have a way to kind of give netizens a choice on what they want to see, similar to Reddit. As they say, ignorance is bliss.
