If I posted an article about some people got rich off crypto is that also worthwhile because it's "news"? No, if there's no intellectual discussion and it's just cheap 10 second takes then it's not suited for HN. From the guidelines: > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. > Off-Topic: If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. This is a very shallow news story that gives no information on the technical nature of the hack or anything intellectual in the slightest. As can be seen by the comments on this thread almost everything is low-brow commentary similar to what you'd see on a Facebook news story. If people want to discuss crypto security and the merits of different approaches that would be an awesome discussion to have. Unfortunately it can't happen here any more because the only crypto related things that get upvoted are news stories about bad things happening and the more that happens the more intellectually curious people are driven away.
