BTC at one time was mined with gpu's then the asic's came and they moved to LTC....now the asic's are coming for scrypt and the move to -n begins.
Agree. Scrypt asics are only going do to plain scrypt coins what SHA256 asics did to bitcoin. They'll drive the difficulty off the charts and move the GPU miners who don't have or want to spend $1000s on them somewhere else. IMHO you'll only have a handful of plain scrypt coins left and the difficulty will make them less and less desirable to mine and once that happens they'll be plenty of people stuck with scrypt asic miner they can't sell for anywhere near what they paid for them if they can sell them at all since they have no other use other than mining. On the other hand GPUs will always have a resale value.

Not being funny but i am waiting for my own Asic miner to come and looking to order another once i am happy. I cant see a problem with having both asic and gpu as i will be keeping my gpu miner as well as the asic running 24/7

There will always be coins created from both corners, GPUcoin just makes it easier for the people to keep mining with their gpus. which is great.. But they will never be able to rule the coins, however hard people try..
