It's good that he avoids the exaggerated sales hype of most bitcoin enthusiasts. However it seems he has been listening from one ear only, as he barely mentions some of the problems, or omits them altogether. Like the impossibility of correcting mistakes or thefts.

It has probably already been discussed, but is theft really bad? I mean, most of the times it's immoral, but evolution doesn't have anything to do with morality.
In a certain way you can see it as survival of the fittest. If hackers are smart enough to steal bitcoin it sucks if it happens to you, but bitcoin also gives the opportunity to store them extremely safe, unable to hack.
If a hacker was able to crack the complete bitcoin code, he should be awarded because honest money should be more or less indestructible.
