I couldn't find an article about criticism in the wiki. Is there some other place that contains well-constructed criticism for Bitcoin?
Where can I find well-written criticism about Bitcoin?

@r3m0t - I think the Weaknesses page is the page I'm looking for. It should incorporate all weaknesses, not just technical - edit it if you feel it's missing something. – ripper234 – 2013-04-22T05:26:59.667

See "Decentralised Currencies Are Probably Impossible (But Let’s At Least Make Them Efficient)" by Ben Laurie. He shows how Bitcoin's so-called "decentralization" is such a joke, because it doesn't really work. If Bitcoin's decentralization doesn't work, it makes no sense to waste so many resources over proof-of-work transaction processing. He also proposes an alternative design in a follow-up post.
1What kind of criticism do you mean? Some of the answers have criticism, which is not related to the economic impact if wide-spread Bitcoin adoption is achieved, which is what I suspect that you are asking, given your "economics" tag. – David – 2013-04-21T19:44:38.053
