I find it amusing—and just a little ironic—that the only truly "HN-material" Bitcoin article I've seen (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6862727) was posted just today.

Look at the discussion that that article triggered. It's HN at its best, discussing Bitcoin in the same manner we would discuss, say, Nginx. From now on, if anyone needs an article to point to to explain the difference between "discussing a politicized technology" and "discussing the politics of a technology," this one should do.

Now we just have to manage a purely-technical discussion of Tor...
