Ask HN: Why is HN so obsessed with Bitcoin?
- johng 13y agoMy 2c: HN is full of geeks. Bitcoin appeals to geeks.
- zwieback 13y agoNerd appeal is one part but there's also a gold rush mentality among part of the HN audience and Bitcoin feeds into that.
- binaryatrocity 13y agoBecause posts like this continually keep it on our minds? Plus, it's a hell of an experiment and fun to keep track of.
- trevelyan 13y agoFor me, it's that credit card processors take 3% of my incoming revenues, and then visa sucks up another 3% of most outgoing payments, not to mention taking a non-trivial amount when exchanging between currencies, etc.
