Bitcoin was used for the illicit Silk Road operation and speculators, but lacks legitimate uses, Sohmers said. However he noted that online tech shop Tiger Direct recently announced it will accept bitcoin.
Sohmers says Bitcoin lacks legitimate uses... then he gives an example of a legitimate use.

Exactly. How could a "whiz kid" be so blind? And what about remittances to poor families overseas who are getting raped daily by Western Union and Co.?

I guess he wants to reinvent the wheel...

This is yet another example of tech 'gurus' knowing absolutely bugger all about technology. Or bothering to actually read up a little before they make sweeping statements.
