Really smacks of an article by someone who really doesn't know bitcoin but has been told to write something about it.

Perhaps after that recent very deep delve article in the telegraph the guardian is feeling a little (or a lot) behind the curve.

I believe the best way to achieve that is to build apps with seamless one-click interfaces, which make the consumer experience as straightforward as possible

We already have those, you're just too stupid to find them, yet again, journalists are just showing me how little they use the internet and how they don't know how to use search engines, that said, the apps currently available aren't 1 click and aren't 1 click for a reason because if they were people would be able to just siphon money off your account using this system like they do with subscriptions, this doesn't happen in Bitcoin.

This article was genuinely filled with more vague past history of Bitcoin and overly complicated wording rather than anything useful.
