when a clone can compete with its parent with no conceivable advantage, this is very dangerous indeed for the idea of digital scarcity. this is very troubling.
klee, Doge may seem like a joke but it is not. It's an experiment that worked out pretty nicely so far. I remember the first two days when DOGE came out, it was very well perceived from day one and people loved to send the doges around. I remember receiving hundreds of thousands just as a joke because nobody took it seriously. Not much later it began to become huge.
It also nicely demonstrates the power of marketing and hype. PS. I don't own any DOGE atm and I am personally not much interested in it, huge numbers of other people are though.
NXT is a king when it comes to crypto innovation, yet average crowds do not care about the king, they want the fun. Doge provides it.
