I don't think it's accurate to characterize the OP as criticizing (or being terrified by, for that matter) the freedom offered by Bitcoin as if freedom is a bad thing. Rather, he argues (somewhat convincingly) that the freedom offered by Bitcoin is of most value to the people who are already rich enough (either in time, resources, or USD) to profit from speculation, asic mining, and other aspects of the Bitcoin market.
The freedom provided by this new financial system does nothing to enrich the people who are imperiled by the existing financial system; quite the opposite, the lack of regulations endangers them because they are not highly educated, rational financiers so they have increased exposure to risk/fraud.
