There is so much inaccuracy and fuzziness in the first paragraph that the author seems to ignore more than he knows about the subject. State and government are not the same thing, money and currency neither, bitcoin is not a privately issued and is not web based.

With such a sensationalist title, I'm not surprised this article is much balooney but I wonder how it got to HN frontpage in the first place.
