For those of us that have absolutely no idea why this is on the top of this website:

This was posted by a Bitcoin developer. Apparently we are supposed to recognize them by name and immediately remember whatever lawsuits they’re involved in, in the UK.

View on HN

Apparently it's their blog, they have no responsibility for anybody to understand their posts nor are they required to explain their references....

I didn’t comment on the existence of the blog post, I commented on a link without context being on the front page of an unrelated website :)

I love the sting that HN has for bitcoin. Find me one other HN post that has full context. They're all links with the title of the linked source. This is a link aggregator.

No one is at fault here...usually some top comment provides context..this is a link aggregator

it's their blog and they're entitled to write it however they want? The author writes some statement on their blog that unexpectedly gets traction on HN and because they didn't anticipate that, they're the bad guy for not writing the blog post as accessible and informative as possible? This person just wanted to note their thoughts down on their personal blog, but now they've wronged you somehow?

Notice how I'm saying the same thing to the grandparent?

It's not even like I didn't explicitly said it.

I'm sorry I misunderstood you

I had actually made the title to the HN post a little more explanatory, but HN per standard practice changed it back to match the target page.
