criticize what you don't understand.

Pretty much.  It is so much easier than actually learning somthing and also makes the critic feel superior.  Unfortunately, there have been people like this as long as there have been people and I don't think that is going to change any time soon.   Undecided

Some of the more conspiracy-minded have clued into the global nature of bitcoin and think its going to be part of some evil cabal's power-grab over everyone.

Of course that totally falls on its face since there isn't any one person controlling anything - more of a global consensus than a secret circle of 'rulers'. But I suppose they need to demonize bitcoin somehow, and that is a pretty easy jump for them.

Bitcoin, an alternative currency that doesn't exist physically

Yes they do actually.  Roll Eyes
