Topic: Why so much hate for new coins? (Read 1560 times)
Because most of the alt-coins are just clones.

i love bitcoin 
followers of other coins hate a lot on new coins especially when they get immediate success like doge. but it does bring new people to the cryptocurrency scene.
It's people who lost money to scamcoins/people who pray to bitcoin as it would be god and refuse any other cryptocurrency.
Or it may be cuz of premine etc...

Hate stems from feeling threatened by something different. Just being dissimilar in race, gender, religion or sexual preference is enough to fan the flames of hatred in many people. Why should the world of cryptocurrencies be any different? 
Please tell me you didn't just compare crapcoins to racism and sexism?
My guess is that the people who are most butt hurt are those who have lost money in previous pump-and-dump coins
This. I guess most have to learn the hard way, despite the warnings here...

I think people dislike them since they seem like copies of the successful Bitcoin, or they don't bring anything useful to the market. However, I think many alternate cryptocurrencies could prove to be useful in the future.
People hate them because they are just clones from other coins.
But still people can make huge profit with mining these new coins.

My guess is that the people who are most butt hurt are those who have lost money in previous pump-and-dump coins (or failed to get rich overnight when they chose the wrong one), or that feel that their bitcoin wealth is threatened by the prevalence of altcoins in general.
Ah, that's a tricky reply and a false generalization. I think most people never put any money in alt coins or feel threatened by it. They are just saying that they are bad clones or pump-and-dump schemes (which most of them are), taking resources away from alt coins which are really different, and are annoying people who see it everyday over and over again.This is how I feel. The coins are just ridiculous gimmicks now and the names and users are moronic most of the time. Hurr der derp weedcoin is goin to da moon. Shut up.
All that says to me, is that you and BlockChainLottery are NOT in the 'most butt hurt' category.
Thanks everyone for the answers. After reading some of them I started to understand better why some new coins may look suspicious/annoying and may provoke anger.
It's still thought provoking to me how a few technical speculations can rile up the emotions, though.

because that there is a sense that new coins trivialise the whole crypto space at a time that it is vying for mainstream attention
and some penis envy I am sure

The proof of work has benefits outside of the workings of the currency itself,
Can you point me in the direction of something that expands on these benefits? XPM has problems. It's currently only possible (or more accurately, profitable) to mine on CPUs which makes it attractive to botnets to a far greater extent than scrypt
I see your point, however, perversely as it may seem, the fact that people have it and use it may add to its chances of success. Botnet owners may be less likely to pump and dump because it affects the price tomorrow and so is not in there medium term interests (if they are still mining the same coin). I'm not saying Botnets are a good thing but people interested in the price they can sell tomorrow are.It seems like the real issue is that new coins get hosed by the "Eye of Sauron" multipools and then dumped into something "safer" like litecoin or bitcoin. This has an obviously negative impact on the currencies and will presumably lead to investor interest drying up eventually; how many times are you going to gamble a few BTC on a new currency only to watch it get gobbled up and dumped by the pools?
Good point, which is why any new function the coin brings gives the coin more chance of success. If its useful, you hang on to it, so no dumping just pumping:) .
On a sidenote, any advice on how to calm the gf?
Cheers,

Make-up sex helps every time.
Easier than actually deal with problems.Calming camomile or mint tea, if sex is out of the picture.

Because it's diluting investment in primary coins. Because it's diluting people attention. Also when it's something obviously retarded - then it's simply annoying.
The train of though "If there's a new coin, everyone will invest, and it will grow, so I should invest" should finally stop.
There are gambling sites for that matter. Do not remember the correct term, but it was something like a chest game or something.
