is it a joke or what?
when you didn't even know what a cryptocurrency was, dogecoin was funding the jamaican bobsled team for the Sochi 2014 olympic games
If it is just about dogecoin being fast and cheap, we could also use Tron as well, which is not a "joke" coin and it is definitely fast and cheap as well, why would I pick doge for it? Or I can use wave, I can use nano, I can use so many things.
The reason why Doge is cheap and fast is not just because of its tech, it is also because there isn't that much transactions going back and forth like ETH or BTC has, that is the real trouble that causes those things to have high fee, they are not internally screwed just so it would be high, they are in fact working to make it work, the reason why it is not doing that good is the fact that they have so much and doge type coins have so few. In the end doge is still a joke coin, there is nothing wrong with buying it, people can keep buying it if they want to, the problem is that it is not taken seriously and those pumps make it hurt even more in the long term.
