I mean bitcoin stories are not like constantly seeing the latest bimbo in the regular news right?
Personally I upvote (some) bitcoin stories because I think it's something new and innovative and shows hackers being creative in engineering their own world.
Then again, adding tags to HN would be a wonderful way to allow everyone to personalize their filtering if desired and an easy way to search too. For those that do not want tags at all, a simple checkbox in profile could hide all tag interfaces, or just use a CSS class that is easily hidden.

Personally I think one should only upvote for the content of the link, not for raping the front page because one think some topic is more interesting than others.
I love bitcoin stories. I've learned a lot about economics, crypto, and social interactions through the stories. No, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm sincere. One of the most useful things about which HN has alerted me.
Keep them coming. I would rather read that than that Pandora/Groupon filed for an IPO, the latest marketing driven from Joel/Atwood/37 Signals, or Techcrunch's reblogging of WSJ/AP/Reuters.
