I agree to anything that will kill the stupid Bitcoin articles.

  Moving to a different forum will kill the "stupid Bitcoin articles".

  You got downvoted for apparent snark, but for what it's worth: me too. It's pernicious, too, because those comments can germinate in any thread involving money, banking, cryptography, and markets.

    Bitcoin's primary use case seems to be generating karma on HN. As a friend put it: "Bitcoin is ruining HN." As it stands, I'm hoping that Bitcoin is just one of those waves like Erlang was.

  Are they really that bad? The biggest problem I have with them is that most of the comments are from people like yourself, a disinterested individual complaining about the submission. That's not a judgment on you by the way, I've complained about submissions too. (For a hypothetical comparison, I might get annoyed with a certain level of submissions over Apple's new iShiny since I find Apple fans cult-like. It's newsworthy yet more popular than it seemingly ought to be.)
