       | David Gerard is an odd person, he spends a lot of time discussing
       | something he evidently hates. I expect in part it is because he
       | makes a living from it. I used to read his stuff for an
       | alternative viewpoint ( a lot of bitcoin news sites and articles
       | are obviously the other side of this coin), but it really isn't
       | anything new any more and I don't think he can think of anything
       | new to write about it either. Bitcoin has been around for over a
       | decade and the technology hasn't changed much in that time, so
       | what else is there to say about it at this stage, other than to
       | criticize the same issues in different words.

       | A better approach would have been to tackle one of these "myths"
       | and explain the misconception more convincingly than it has been
       | explained before. Or at least to approach the critique from a
       | unique vantage point.

         | As I said in my other comment, the author is just trying to get
         | page views for criticisms that have already been raised,
         | usually by the author in previous posts. There is nothing new
         | here.
