The Surprisingly Simple Way to Steal Cryptocurrency

I can't tell if this is parody or not. Either way, the proposal is stupid and amounts to check-and-guess. Zero analysis of probability of success. Zero estimate of resources required.

But this makes me think the article is not actually parody:

> If you want to send some cryptocurrency to someone else, you encrypt the transaction using their public key which is as its name suggests, public, and your private key which is known only to you.

Encryption does occur on some chains, but none of the widely-used ones. So, not parody and just another ignorant take.
