What the author doesn't understand is that the technology behind bitcoin... is already in the contract agreement and design phases of replacing our entire global financial infrastructure. It's a big deal. Really.

Replace the sovereign currency? That's a bit more speculative, but it isn't a stretch. Maybe bitcoin (or something very similar) will merely be complementary. But if it is simply easier, it will happen. We'll see.
