If you know enough to hate bitcoin then you've likely already heard all the standard pro-Bitcoin arguments. By now you'd expect a "this will change your mind" article on the topic to bring up some new angle. Not this one. It's just the usual suspects ("No fees! No government meddling! Financial power to the poor!") complete with the standard sprinkling of opinions stated as facts.
