Its crazy how the conversation changes, it felt like many of the people on Hacker News were anti-bitcoin, but now that the price is nice, I'm seeing it on the first page all the time.
Many people (many of the same people, even) on HN are still anti-bitcoin, and conversely its been on the first page quite a bit when the price was less nice than it is now.
This is because HN is diverse, and it can have large factions boosting something while other large factions are negative on it.
