This is just embarrassing... Total ignorance of the problem satoshi was setting out to solve.

It's an op-ed piece, i don't think it reflects the views of Forbes...

Yeah, but it is still embarrassingly ignorant.

It is.

It may not reflect the opinion of Forbes.

But it does reflect badly on Forbes. Certainly to anyone who understands bitcoin and why it was created in the first place.

Media outlets often will try to find writers to write editorials that are contrary to their own beliefs. This adds some level of balance to the conversation. I certainly do not agree with this writer's opinion however I do think it is healthy to have these kinds of discussions.
