Actually, the critiques do apply to bitcoin. Perhaps if:
- bitcoin's biggest user wasn't a douchebag who thinks its ok to hire hitmen to kill people
- mtgox didn't have so much trouble staying online
- the currency wasn't so volatile
- there was some way of storing bitcoin with a guarantee that you'll get fully refunded if it gets stolen
...then perhaps this satire would make some sense. As it is, the 'satire' is just making the authors look like idiots.
