I just got down voted for pointing out the article is factually wrong and suggesting that it not be up voted for that reason. Believe what you want to believe internets!


What is factually wrong about the article? It seems to me that what it is reporting is the dramatic drop on Friday.

Whether or not the price later regained what it lost on Friday does not really impact the main point of the article - the existence of such a drop, no matter how temporary it was.


I can't speak for anyone else but personally I downvoted you for:

a) Telling people not to upvote something, and

b) Justifying that in terms of something I'd never heard of (what's this about lulzsec's claim?)

Most of the time when an article shows up on HN there's a bunch of comments criticising the article for being, in some way, incomplete or wrong. But generally they don't directly tell people not to upvote the article. If you wanna criticise the article just say "One important factor which this article doesn't mention is that LulzSec said the other day that [blah blah details for the uninitiated]"
