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.

The first-linked article tries to be negative when, in fact, all the stats he presents are a huge positive.  By definition, when you're a "very tiny little piece of a very big pie" (to use his words) then the only way to go is up.  He therefore makes a compelling case for growth in market share for Silk Road and, by extension, Bitcoin.  The exact same style "takedown" could've been written 15 years ago, replacing "Silk Road" by "Amazon" and "drugs" by "consumer goods".

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.
