So all Wednesday stories about Bitcoin reaching 100k/2T market cap were flagged immediately off frontpage for not being relevant, yet this story is considered interesting content?
I'm sure I'll get down voted, but it's sad that the topic is widely considered off-limits for actual conversation here, except for stories where the stupidest stuff like this is shown. HN is where many folks originally learned about bitcoin because of its extremely niche tech audience at the time.
- ronsor 2y agoCrypto threads are only allowed in HN if there's a good opportunity to shit on crypto. I jest, but there's a significant number of users here who would agree.
- mingus88 2y agoI’ll play devils advocate Bitcoin hitting some arbitrary new high is not newsworthy or interesting. It’s the same story we’ve read for a decade. Some kid making 50k exploiting a crypto service with some social engineering via memes is actually hacking and what should HN be about?
- MadnessASAP 2y agoDid they get flagged and removed? Or were they just not interesting/newsworthy?
