Unfortunately this comment, which has nothing to do with the article linked, has been voted to the top. HN seems to take every article having anything to do crypto as an opportunity to share their unrelated and repetitive opinions about how crypto is bad. Why not just flag the article instead to get it off the front page? That would at least be less boring.
I agree, but this doesn't happen with just crypto. Some people post meta commentary about a submission's topic — often without reading the article itself. Then, others who also don't want to read the article read that meta commentary instead, and upvote it.
I don't know the root cause exactly, but it is a pretty annoying trend.
