This was a particularly interesting bit though and I was hoping some people might explain/comment more about it.

It seems that getting your crypto-currency hacked gives publicity and boosts value! See also: the Experian hack.

Clearly any plans with pornhub.com would have been made prehack. As to the value of the cryptocommodity (I refuse to call them currencies)... it’s like the author said.

Please do, I personally often read the comment section only, and something tells me I am not alone in this...
