> We should immediately discount stories about cryptoassets from any site that can't manage to set up a TLS cert.

Very interesting conclusion. Let me see if I can follow along:

Adding an SSL cert = SSL

SSL = encryption

EnCRYPTion = CRYPTocurrency

Cryptocurrency = Bitcoin implementation

Bitcoin implementation = Bitcoin price

Yes, I see now how they're equivalent.

The article definitely is hand-wavy and there are other reasons to be skeptical but conclusions like this rarely help the situation.

Adding an SSL cert = minimal IT skills required

Understanding cryptoassets = Above minimal IT skills + more skills + more knowledge required

Not knowing how to add an SSL cert certainly does not bode well for one's expertise on crypto. Knowing how to do so but not caring is even worse.
