Firstly I'm not sure why "Simon Black" gets such a hard time on ZH but I'm sure it's for the same reasons Bitcoin has been.   Not a bad article, the comedy begins in the comments section as has become the norm.

Yet another bunch of laughable comments even by a long-time poster or two that you'd think would actually know what a Ponzi Scheme or Fiat currency is buy now.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Every time I read the comments on a zerohedge bitcoin article, my respect for the users there goes down a bit.

That said, I'm glad that people here take the time to try and correct the outright errors in the comments for the people who will later stumble upon the article and read the comments.
