I have to assume this is satire, given alternatives like Square cash.

- Bitcoin wallets are under constant cyberattack and there is nobody to compensate you if the money is stolen. - There is no good way to evaluate the integrity of bitcoins software for end users - Even the most user friendly hosted wallets (e.g. Coinbase) are not faster or simpler than a well designed bank (e.g. Simple) - Almost no ordinary merchants accept Bitcoin - The Bitcoin exchange rate is like the Zimbabwe Dollar

I think all these problems can be solved, and I personally hold Bitcoins, but let's not be delusional about the current state of affairs.
