I wrote this but had no intention of submitting it here. As a Bitcoin blogger, I feel cramped knowing that there's a good chance anything I write will be posted to HN.

no facts, no analysis, no points made. why is this submitted even? I just wasted 5 minutes reading it.

Look, I think most people here agree that BitCoin could be something major. If not, the debate can still be interesting I agree that some BitCoin news is relevant here. What isn't relevant is every single thing remotely related to BitCoin being submitted to Hacker News. At this point, it's practically spam. I'm seeing 2 or 3 BitCoin posts a day, and I don't see <i>anything else</i> getting that amount of coverage. If many of these posts didn't have "BitCoin" in the title, they would get 0 upvotes, because they're largely meaningless fluff. FFS, can we cut back on the BitCoin submissions unless it is <i>major, important</i> news? This is ridiculous.
