New to this forum, couldnt help but read all the hate on bitcoin (scam, pointless), what gives?  Not just here either, in comment threads about bitcoin across the internet.

Sour grapes for buying late/hoping to influence another crash/fiat interests etc. Nothing good has ever been unopposed.

edit: also stupidity/ignorance/fear

Everybody can share their opinion, and thinking if something they write makes sence helps you understand things better. So definitivelly helpfull posts

New ideas pass through three periods:
1) It can't be done.
2) It probably can be done, but it's not worth doing.
3) I knew it was a good idea all along!

That's also what people said about computers and the Internet. Bitcoin is only the beginning as other altcoins are now emerging into the collective consciousness of the mainsteam. This is clearly evident on the following page: http://coinmarketcap.com/

Soon one of these alt currencies will rise to challenge the mighty Bitcoin. Interesting times indeed.

It's quite clear to me that Bitcoin is the "the chosen one".
MtGox claimed it couldn't support Litecoin because it was DDOS attacked!

I hate the "bitcoin will be down to $0.50 theory, thats a little extreme, im no math magician, nor am i some savy investor.  I like the controversy, but some of these opinions are just off the wall and i wonder if they really are that stupid, or just a troll.

edit: ok $0.50 is not a little extreme it is VERYextreme

I think MtGox is not going to play much of a role in whether altcoins succeed. It's only a matter of time before the World discovers the magic of decentralized currencies. And the competitive nature of man ensures there will be more than Bitcoin. IMO.

I think for a lot of people default to criticism when faced with something they don't understand. "Bitcoin can't work because...".

I'm happy to see it! If more people understood bitcoin and grasped it's importance, I might not be so rich.
