It's worse than that. You could see anything at all when you visit a page on X. Sometimes you see the X that was intended, sometimes you see a prompt asking you log in, sometimes you see an error message, sometimes you see some other X, sometimes you see a thread in forwards order, sometimes it is in backwards order, sometimes you see 1000 dittoheads screaming "SQUEE!"

I haven't read that article, I don't care. If you actually want to communicate, as opposed to signal your membership in a tribe, it takes a lot more than 140 characters.

People on HN really hate news about crypto positive or negative, YOShInOn usually says articles about crypto (even ones that I think are really substantial) have an 0.02 chance of frontpaging and our experience with what we post is consistent with that but that's because it never says anything has odds worse than that and we haven't submitted the thousands of thousands of articles that it would take to find out what the true odds are.
