The "lining of pockets" is deployed as investments in other companies. It isn't stuffed into a mattress. The richest people in our society live off an infinitesimally small amount of their wealth. The lion's share is deployed as investment (company stock, bonds, etc). It makes some sense to entrust this discretion over resources to people who have demonstrated an ability to manage resources at scale.

Lame article: only points out obvious problems.
The lightning network will allow instantaneous, onion-routed (anonymous) transactions, thus refuting the main points against Bitcoin.
Maybe MySpace would have had a chance to hold its ground if it had known what its problems were.
