This is stupid. Bitcoin is walking around money just like US $. It's security problem is that law enforcement agencies can monitor transactions or persecute merchants who use it.. Not all enforcement agencies are nice cuddly outfits like the FBI. Sure, someone can steal the security key but they can steal your plastic's PIN no, also. But, in some places bitcoin and stuff like it will be vastly superior to untrustworthy local currencies and banks. (Think Greece.) The author doesn't state the real problem for bitcoin holders: governments won't take it for tax payments. (But does that matter in Greece?)
