David Gerard is an odd person, he spends a lot of time discussing something he evidently hates. I expect in part it is because he makes a living from it. I used to read his stuff for an alternative viewpoint ( a lot of bitcoin news sites and articles are obviously the other side of this coin), but it really isn't anything new any more and I don't think he can think of anything new to write about it either. Bitcoin has been around for over a decade and the technology hasn't changed much in that time, so what else is there to say about it at this stage, other than to criticize the same issues in different words.
