Why is this better than the Bitcoin Reddit Page?

You serious? Getting stabbed IRL is less bad than /r/bitcoin. I'm not sure if the memes or continual circlejerking are worse.

Why is this better than /r/bitcoinserious, /r/bitcoinmarkets, or creating a new subreddit for bitcoin?

Well, anything that might result in fewer BTC posts in HN is fine by me, for one...

Except creating something that looks like HN does not automatically attract the same crowd as HN. There are plenty of clean, meme-free, well managed Reddits. This new site could just as well turn into /r/bitcoin.

Also, anything bitcoin related is going to turn into a "circle-jerk". That's the point isn't it? They exist to educate, market, hype-up, and encourage everyone to use BitCoin. No thanks.

On the same day, we get a filter that is by default HN without Bitcoin and another site that is HN only about Bitcoin.

It's like we're approaching some sort of binary tree data structure where the leaves are HN clones with their own indiosyncratic topic configurations.
