Wiki has this belief that the vast majority of people do not trust government in any way, shape or fashion. He doesn't accept the millenia of human experience that has resulted in the establishment of governments. He thinks that somehow people should just discard the knowledge gained over time and adopt his vision of perfection. And when I say perfection I mean perfection. He refuses to acknowledge that there is even a remote chance he is wrong. He understands the technology, and anyone who disagrees with him, therefore, cannot.

He acts as if human behavior is predictable over the long-term when everyone knows it can't be predicted over the short-term with any great degree of accuracy.

I certainly thinks he overestimates the extent to which people will be willing to go to bitcoin specifically because it is not linked to the government, and the extent to which people will be willing to overlook practical difficulties in these currencies because of their philosophical/political purity.
