That article was terribly written, and snarky lines about libertarians and "It's too bad Bitcoin doesn't have a central bank to help stabilize its value" don't add humor or insight. He brushed over the importance of the underlying technology so he could assault it for being a representative currency.

I get the sense the author doesn't know any more about economics than he does about bitcoin. He basically just stated the differences between bitcoin and fiat currencies with a smug undertone of blind faith in Keynesianism, then concluded only a government is fit to regulate transactions between private parties.
