meme coin is reductive, born as meme coin but grown as a coin with its own use and it's been largely adopted, more than many other altcoins.
I completely agree with this, even myself used it a lot to make payment or transaction. It has been adopted by many merchants in my country too
thanks for the links, I partially knew some of them, but a first time user would go here:
https://dogecoin.com/ and I thought that was an official resource. an user should looks at the download link and deduce the github repo by himself...
True, logically speaking the project should have made a notice about its current situation and update on its first page of website.
To educate the users and its new users about the project, but sadly Dogecoin did not.
They made an announcement on their GitHub page which is not convenient for many people, there is no way all of them would know and understand how to use GitHub.
