Designed to be actually used day to day. You could buy a cup of coffee without waiting till the shop closes for a confirmation, and also without paying anything close to the cost of the coffee in fees.
Widely accepted on exchanges; a great tool to move between other crypto-currencies and fiat FAST while keeping fees almost non-existent. (Try doing that with ANY other coin, they either don’t have the stability, reputation, volume or their fees are CONSIDERABLY higher)
One of the oldest, well established, tried and true crypto-currencies, There have been considerable ups and downs in the value of the coin in comparison to fiat and other coins however it has stood the test of time and is still widely accepted and has remained a useful tool regardless of its exchange rate. (Which is why you will see 1 Doge = 1 Doge used frequently)
Strong positive community. Projects that show humanity, kindness, generosity. Among an ocean of get rich quick schemes, scams, pumps and dumps, this is the only coin which has a community centered on the positive things that crypto-currency can do
Hope that helps!
