Quote

bitcoin can be divided to 8 decimal places if needed, m8

Quote

there is an algorithm which addressing the scalability issue you have mentioned where related to storing growing number of transactions. This is not implemented as of now but it is described in the original paper by Satoshi Nakamoto.

Every user can have practically unlimited number of public keys i.e. bitcoin accounts.

etc.. etc.. etc..

Bitcoin design, is much more complete and elegant than most people able to grasp with a first glance. Spend a week reading and thinking before writing the next article please.

Paragraph after paragraph of your article is about non-problems of bitcoin and about your misunderstanding of it's design.

Gibson dissing Calacanis and misquoting him as saying "Bitcoin is the worst idea ever" obviously got this from the "most dangerous idea" headline.

I liked the previous one by Falkvine - but this is full of mistakes (transfers are not instant, there is no $50million in the system, because most bitcoins were never sold or were sold much cheaper then $8 - stuff like this).

None of that $50M (actually lower like you say) is in the system either, it's paid to people who sold coins, it doesn't go 'in' anything. What we do know is that there are 6.3M coins and none of each of their owners declined to trade them for $8.20, so they value them more than that, but we don't know how much more.

falkvinge.net - Why I’m Putting All My Savings Into Bitcoin falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-savings-into-bitcoin/

The blog post that you referred to, located here, http://falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-savings-into-bitcoin/ referred to a more mainstream article here, written in sweedish. http://svt.se/2.22584/1.2439316/ny_piratvaluta_kan_hota_finanssystemen

Here's the Google Translation, which contains some classic translation bloopers:

1. Headline: "New counterfeit currency may threaten financial systems"
2. "You could say that the currency is backed by people's distrust of governments, "says Rick Falk Vinge to SVT. There is no government that can blow you to save the state economy." (haha! maybe THAT is the "Headline")
