I don't know about that. They include the word small. Judging from the original headline and HN story position, how big would you estimate this business to be?

Yes true, but my point is more that the headline is purposefully catchy (which is fine, it's a headline) but the actual content is not really noteworthy in any way except that "cryptocurrency failing" gets people's attention.

If BitPrime was a CRM SaaS that shut down and laid off all 6 of its employees or whatever nobody would think to write an article about it.
