I did read the article. The title of the submission here on HN is a lot more sensationalist than both the title of the article as published, and what the content of the article bears out. To use your own phrase, it comes across as very link-baity. I don't have any strongly held beliefs regarding bitcoin. Given the title, I was expecting an article that convincingly explained how this threat would kill bitcoin. The article described a challenge to bitcoin, but did not meet my expectations in bearing out its thesis. So, if I saved someone else that same disappointment with my hipster comment, that was my intent.
