The only thing that can truly stop Bitcoin is a massive societal resentment which is highly improbable.
Just start convincing people that it contains a backdoor. Present some crypto mumbo-jumbo, some snippets of random computer code, etc as evidence. How many will make any attempt to verify the claim - or even really understand it - before simply going "zOMG BITCOIN IS A SCAM!!1!cos(0)"? Who is this mysterious Satoshi guy and why does he remain anonymous? Etc.
