On HN, general news and human interest stories get buried(usually) and rightly so, as this is not the place for them. Bitcoin gets treated faily on HN as long as the discussion has some technical merit. For example posting comparing coding styles of Dorian and BTC Satoshi, that shouldn't get buried. Similarly, there has been almost nothing about Ukraine on top of HN, because nothing too hacky has been posted just general news.
