Can we start actively removing "OMG BTC JUST HIT !" posts? Can we start taking this seriously?

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I'm tired of seeing hundreds of posts about the same exact bullshit, pretty much several times a week: "ZOMG BTC JUST HIT ALL TAIM HAI <next number in a sequence of never-ending numbers> HODLORRR HODLORRR HODLOR HODOR!!!11"

Yes. The currency will rise in value. This is guaranteed to happen for probably a long fucking time, so unless we're hitting serious benchmarks (e.g. $10k, $20k, $30k, $50k, etc.), I think we should start purging these garbage posts which only exist to cause the rest of us to miss the actual informative and intelligent posts we're looking for.

Call me salty, but I've been purchasing/investing in BTC for over 6 years. I'm glad the currency has caught on, but this once-useful subreddit has slowly lost it's worth with this new wave of uninformed investors. The administrative leniency to allow non-stop karma-seeking posts like "I just bought my first 0.0001 BTC!" or "2 DA MOOON ROLLERCOASTER GUY!" has become a blight on the most significant financial reconstruction and very first actual decentralization of currency since man started trading. Let the implications of this incredibly massive achievement sink in for a moment, and realize it's significance. Understand where this is headed, and how it will become a catalyst in many changes to come. We need to stop making a joke of this enormous paradigm shift if we want the world to take it seriously.

Admins: tighten up the rules and give us the opportunity to find posts of actual value. We all know there is an even bigger tidal wave headed our way, and this subreddit is on the verge of becoming a shitshow.
