Wow, what a misinformed article.

- the author doesn't realize irreversible transactions is actually a benefit for merchants

- the author incorrectly uses the term "ponzi scheme" (he applies it to gold as well)

- the author is unaware of rapid adoption of Bitcoin by merchants (BitPay's 10,000 merchants...)

- the author is unaware of many practical benefits of bitcoin (people escaping their country's inflationary currencies, sending money abroad with lower fees, etc)
