These kind of articles are getting under my skin.... Jason is falling for the same BS as all these other media junkies.
They find the most negative things about a subject matter and combine that into something that would attract the most attention.
He had to go back to the early Libertarian origin of Bitcoin to make it interesting and then he jumped to a few current events like the Silkroad ruling to call us all criminals and thief's.
If those media comments was not so heavily moderated to protect their motives and agendas, I would have made the effort to expose him in public.
It's a shame how these media are controlled to concentrate on the negative only. The little bit at the end, just hide their real goal with this.

Bitcoin: In Search Of Purpose
http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbloomberg/2015/06/05/bitcoin-in-search-of-purpose/
In fact, perhaps the greatest challenge for Bitcoin is divining the technology’s true purpose. Early innovators often espoused radical Libertarian goals for revolutionizing the banking system and with it, the world economy. By disintermediating third parties, Bitcoin promised to usher in a new world order of free market commerce.
Only the Bitcoin story didn’t work out that way. Bitcoin soon became a haven for criminals – not just Silk Road, but any number of money launderers and other shady types who gravitated toward an anonymous, relatively safe method for conducting financial transactions, in particular across national borders
