What you describe is the failing of bitcoin itself. What the author discusses is the failing of all electronic, not-gov-backed currencies. I think as with every new thing we can be sure that bitcoin will go through a lot of trouble and the string b-i-t-c-o-i-n might be unusable in a short future.

So both topics can be discussed, but they are not really the same thread. And you might actually both be correct.
