No offense but that's pretty much what r/bitcoin is...

r/bitcoin is full of bitcoin fanatics who will bury any cryptocurrency-related news that isn't bitcoin. Mention XRP, BTS, ETH, or really any next-gen blockchain tech that doesn't ride on bitcoin and you are called a heretic.

In all fairness, here are 2 points from their submission guidelines...

  * News articles that do not contain the word "Bitcoin" are
    usually off-topic. This subreddit is not about general
    financial news.
  * Submissions that are mostly about some other
    cryptocurrency belong elsewhere. For example,
    /r/CryptoCurrency is a good place to discuss all
    cryptocurrencies.

So it seems that if you submit something that isn't bitcoin-related, you should /expect/ that it will get downvoted, or moderated.

Absolutely - just explaining why OP is not "pretty much what r/bitcoin is"

Sweet. I smell an opportunity for the Hacker News of Dogecoin, [insert other branded cryptocurrencies here], etc.

Hey, bit.ink mod here. We welcome all cryptocurrencies and blockchain related topics. The creator of Dogecoin is also the creator of bit.ink

We like dogecoin.

Same could be said of HN, with a few exceptions.

I have never webbed my way to Reddit, nor desire to; I welcome this.
