Is the YouTube ad still running and are they still accepting donations?

There is no such thing as bad publicity. Sure, you can always do better and find better target audience, but it takes too much money to advertise to millions, and Dogecoin is doing its best with the money it can get from donations, and it's not much really, $50k is not much to get a really huge and perfect advertising campaign. However, it was not lost, Dogecoin was noticed.

Now, you talk about daily usage. I think the general trend with any crypto currency now is to buy and hold, not use. People who buy them want to get rid of fiat, because fiat is being printed much faster than any crypto currency, so why not spend a depreciating currency (USD, Euro, Yen, Yuan) and keep the one the supply of which is at least growing predictably and which is undervalued. It was a usage peak in January, yes, because it coincided with generally more interest for cryptos, Bitcoin was making the news more at that time + it was easier to mine doges back then and just give them away at faucets. Now that it's harder to mine, sure, there are less transactions, as doges are being hoarded, people don't give them away as easily as back then.

Dogecoin is more designed to be everyday internet currency, because: a) its supply is not capped (although this effect will be visible in a few years only, as in 2015-2020 Dogecoin inflation will not exceed that of Bitcoin, Bitcoin's monetary inflation will actually be larger for the next 5 years starting from 2015); b) it has more whole units, which appeals to human psyche, people want to feel rich having a lot of whole units of currency, not a measly fraction of a Bitcoin; c) there is no history of shady business in Dogecoin, no money launderers or drug dealers, which appeals to even more people, who don't want to touch Bitcoin for fear of being associated with any shady business. Dogecoin makes it easy for them to try crypto currencies, as it's cheap, and many stay with what they have learned.

It's the same. And it's not brighter.

Now , since you gave that many example and talking about average joe...
How many people that owned dogecoins where actually watching nascar races...
The reddit is full of people (in the us) claiming that this was the first time they did and only because of the dogecar..

What I was trying to say is that the last publicity stunts don't really target the audience that doge needs and that most of the people who have seen that car and managed to get onto google to search for doge are having trouble using paypal not even talking about sending "coins" to "d73465743dfdfd66" kind of address.


And about that network effect... sure reddit audience is growing but is dogecoin use also growing?
NO! It's down to 10% since January per daily transactions to 15k daily since the peek of 200k.

The coin is good for having fun that is true.
Although there are way to many memes being made/posted now.

DOGE this coin I play a few days, make a lot of appreciation night, fast, is worth

everybody to play, is a potential currency

Isn't the situation the same with Bitcoin? If you want to acquire any crypto, you at least have to do a little bit of research. It takes as little as 5 minutes of googling to find how to buy doges with paypal, and it's really easy to do. If someone is genuinely interested to buy some doges, is a 5 minutes time to invest into research such an unsurmountable task? Nobody's going to spoon feed cryptos, it's your own money, you can keep the money in the bank and hope that you won't be bailed-in, or you can do research and diversify. You can lead the horse to the river, but can't make it drink. With that in mind, I don't see your point.

a) people come to reddit.com/r/dogecoin
b) they ask how to quickly buy doges
c) in reply they get a few links, and in a few minutes they are set.

I mean, it's the internet, you have to have basic skills to be able to google and click on links, download files, and just be around computers for a while to be able to use crypto currencies. If your average joe isn't able to do that, or too lazy to learn basic skills, there is no hope for that average joe then, no matter what crypto currency, dogecoin or not.

Besides, Dogecoin attracts youngsters, youngsters are more sociable and share ideas more easily, each Dogecoin user on average brings in another 3 Dogecoin users, hence network effect is faster than with other cryptos.

Mining has so little impact on the life of a coin that your article is making me laugh.

A coin , it's life and it's use have little to do with mining. What will happen when mining almost stops? The coin dies? How laughable:).

To how many people who have only once heard about cryptos and are on the level of "average computer user" have you talked?
Do not overestimate the average joe.

If you go to the main forum and read the experiences of other forum members while trying to convince poeple to use cryptos you'll see that things are not that easy.
Just because you and your friends know a lot about a subject and a game it doesn't mean that the rest of the world has even heard of it.

I'm dumping all my DOGE now, the DRK thread has more posts than this one!!!1

Doge for the win!

Straight Awesome! XD

here's a little no doge memes about dogecoins

hope you find them funny

nice roses! yes we are no3 long time already!

The second Dogecar (a Chevy this time) is being wrapped.

This one will run in the All Star race if Josh either wins the Sprint showdown or the fan vote

It all depends, I believe new users coming as a result of donation(s) buy more doge than the amount sold for that donation.
When it actually helps someone there are also good feelings and long term image benefits.

It is not retarded. This is actually very good marketing as you can see for yourself. The community of DOGE is very big.
