Can we get a break from all these Bitcoin posts please?
6 comments

I just don't read posts I'm not interested in. I never feel compelled to complain that others are interested.
I don't work with web dev, can't we get a break from all those ruby, mongo, go and JavaScript posts please?
I agree, there are six posts about Bitcoin right now on top. On one hand it is community regulated matter, but on other hand 20% of top posts is too much.
When Steve Jobs passed, the entire home page was related articles.
It's just a reflection of what is happening in the world. Like it or not, Bitcoin is a big deal now.
I felt the same way about Aaron Swartz. Or Jobs after his death. Or commentary on Samsung v. Apple. Or random SF news. Or random NSA commentary.
Why did you click on it?

Just ignore or downvote next time.

Bitcoin is a hot topic these days, tons of people are interested in what's going on.

This isn't reddit. There's no downvote on stories for (most) users on HN.
