It’s satire.

I'm not convinced it is. Poe's Law
There should be a Bitcoin Satire Impossibility Law. Posts about Bitcoin that look like satire either a) oh boy are they not satire or b) will soon be interpreted acted on in earnest by Bitcoin zealots anyway.

E.g., Dogecoin.

Rest assured there is a gaggle of Bitcoin zealots hitting up reddit et al to spread the word about how good this discovery is for Bitcoin's bottom line!

I'd make a joke about Kind Midas here, but in light of BSIL I'm afraid someone here would use the premise as an idea for a startup and end up hurting themselves (or others).

It’s all satire
