Any comment with the word "tulips" in it
If you are looking for a list of the stupidest, most uniformed comments, from what have to be the most technologically ignorant people around, take a look at the comments below this CNN article, but what do you expect:

They covered pretty much everything here except any comments here that had any technical understanding. By the way, in their view, if you support bitcoin, you are a Fox News watcher according to some of the people there. Of course if the comment section is an indication of the caliber of the CNN viewer, I'd watch Fox.

Did you even read the OP? He mentions the SO threatening to stop sleeping with him, that is not the sort of thing a financial advisor says.
(OP stands for "opening post" for those of you unfamiliar with such abbreviations.)

LOL! Where's the +1 button on this forum?

My SO has banned me from buying bitcoin. I watched bitcoin go down to $425 / BTC on coinbase briefly a couple days ago, but I was unable to take advantage of it. My SO has declared, "Bidcoin is just a ponzi scheme cooked up by nerds. If you buy any bidcoin, I will break up with you. I don't sleep with nerds." 
I honestly advise you to get a new SO. And not because of bitcoin. 
What the hell is an SO? Is it like a stock broker?
In this case SO = the chick that has his balls in a glass jar on her desk.
I thought it was like a securities advisor or something like that.

That bitcoin will fail because of Mt. Gox 
That made me laugh.

Last year, I did a presentation on Bitcoin in front of my class. Here are some of the questions they asked:
"How is this better than PayPal?"
"Is this backed by the government?"
"How does this have value if it's not backed by a government?"
"How do I set up a Bitcoin account?"
"Is this stuff regulated like gift cards?"
"Do you need a credit card to use Bitcoin?"
These questions were from some of the smartest people at my school.

THIS HAS MADE MY DAY ......
bitcoin is worth nothing while I told them it can sell for 600USD each..
"The CEO of Bitcoin got arrested."
1.) The guy that posted on youtube saying he has like 4500 btc (and this was back when the value per btc was much higher) and he's like I'm not selling because I know they will hit $10,000 each soon.
2.) People saying bitcoin isn't "safe." Well, neither is walking around a metropolitan area with cash in your wallet if you want to get technical about it...
3.) People saying they think they won't have to pay taxes on their cryptocoin earnings, and all the various dumbass ways/reasons they list that they think are going to exclude them from having to pay taxes on them.
4.) People arguing that there is room in the market for 100+ altcoins to co-exist.
5.) People saying that new coin xyz is going to be (huge/the next bitcoin/over $X in Y amount of time) because it does (insert some small trivial feature here.)
6.) People saying that getting a coin added to several more exchanges will increase the value of the coin. (Hint: the people begging you to vote every few hours on mintpal and petition cryptsy to add a coin and all that crap are people that are holding a SHITLOAD of the coin and they just need more markets open so they can dump higher volume in less time, and they will crash the price when they do so.)
7.) The people making excuses for why they think their decision to buy 2-3 year old cards to mine with makes more sense than buying cutting edge cards that will actually still have value if mining dies out suddenly.

Well I guess some of these make me feel stupid too. I'd agree with #7, since mining won't die out suddenly, and I'd kind of agree with #1. It won't be soon, but eventually he could be right. How else can you explain how everyone will share bitcoin when there are only a certain amount in existence? Actually if more people held on to their coins the price would go up a fair bit. You gotta be desperate to sell at $550.
I certainly do not agree with #4. There are already far too many altcoins.
