Interesting link, thank you! But I don't see how it's relevant - this is a site about start-up news and Bitcoin is exactly where the opportunities for start-ups are. It's not like they're posting porn or something - probably the next PayPal will come from someone reading these links and comments here. Although I admit that sometimes there are too many links about politics on HN, but you can say politics is also kind of relevant to the start-up world, especially when it concerns policy decisions about technology. In conclusion, I'm yet to see an irrelevant link on HN. The algorithm works as advertised IMHO.
