Why would Adam Davidson of NPR criticize Bitcoin?

[cypherdoc]

Quite simply; he doesn't understand the problems of the middle class in America.

He is also a bank apologist as you'll hear in this interview back in 2009 where he and Elizabeth Warren get into a HEATED exchange.  If you want to understand just how out of touch Davidson is you HAVE to listen to the podcast itself to gauge the anger.  It's a classic that enraged the vast majority of NPR listeners and forced Davidson into a public apology.

far as i can see, this guy has made a career for himself taking the unpopular view on things. i dont think he cares about much beyond attracting viewers.

he's a U Chicago Religions major trying to leverage his degree into Finance.  Fail.

Plus his show's sole sponsor is a...wait for it...: bank.  Yes, that's right, Ally Bank (formerly GMAC) is the sole sponsor of Planet Money.  See here: http://www.npr.org/blogs/ombudsman/2009/12/ally_bank.html

No conflict of interest there.
