Ask HN: What is the best HN like site for crypto currencies?

As far as I'm aware, Cryptopanic[0] is the only decent news aggregator but it doesn't have HN-like discussion features.

News in the cryptocurrency community can be extremely unreliable and designed to influence trading negatively or positively so most people stick to sources they can really trust.

Day/Swing Traders - They use Telegram channels(Whalepool, Whaleclub, Bitstash, Coinfarm) for their discussions and pick their news from subreddits(r/btc, r/bitcoin, r/bitcoinmarkets, r/Ethereum, r/ethtrader).

Developers - Slack and Telegram. Reddit and Twitter for their news

Check out http://reddit.com/r/cryptomarkets. Lots of good discussion (just ignore the HODL/moon trolls).

The Financial Times' Alphaville blog is my favourite. Free to read once you register.

It's not exclusively crypto-related, but they dedicate substantial coverage to developments in the whole crypto/blockchain/ICO space.

They generally approach it from a finance point of view, so it's required reading if you're interested in anything more than just the technological aspects.

What are the best resources, web sites, blogs etc for understanding what is happening in the crypto-currency world?

None at the moment...
