I'm worried that ASIC will kill scrypt - it was built specifically to be ASIC resistant so what's it for now?

Seems like a constant cat-and-mouse game. Now GPU miners are looking at Scrypt-N and X11. The problem is, if they gain enough popularity, then you'll see a HW implementation of those as well. With enough interest any SW algorithm can be done in HW in theory.
