Dogecoin has carved out it's place

I believe it's here to stay

Even people that hate it can't stop talking about it

Totally insane

It will keep going up

1000 new reddit users a DAY

Do you have any idea how much NEW money is poured into DOGE per day to maintain it's price?

 Shocked

You make some points. Dogecoin started as a joke, but people made it move. It is crazy, it is childish, it is silly. But people like childish crazy and silly. It makes them smile and it makes them want to embrace it. Pick any time frame people have always embraced it (90s, why are you even jabbing at that?) Fun, it was fun first and now it is funding amazing things. One thing you can be assured about dogecoin is it is always positive and is always trying to make the world a better place.

Dogecoin is AOL.  Someone will force you to use them by putting them in your mailbox.

we have them already much better then DOGE the next big things are CRYPTOGENIC BULLION, PROTOSHARES, DIAMOND, BITGEMS, BITBARS
Their time has come and gone. Litecoin took that crown last year. There's a new crown for the new breed of cryptos. It might not even be Doge who gets it, but I don't think any of those you mentioned are even up for consideration. Technological advancement is less profitable than popularity in a free market. Ask Clive Sinclair.

What the f*** are we supposed to say when people ask: what value does DOGE provide? How is it better than bitcoin? Why DOGE?

You could say it's becoming known as the altruistic cryptocurrency, due in large part to the early adopters who have fostered and cultivated a vibrant, friendly community of devotees who are happy to put their hard earnt currency to work for good causes.

Yeah well the main difference is that Yahoo actually provided a service. Sick of all these new useless coins. Ruining the momentum of Bitcoin and justifying it's usefulness. What the f*** are we supposed to say when people ask: what value does DOGE provide? How is it better than bitcoin? Why DOGE?

OP reminds me of a youtube self proclaimed persona "the game theorist".

He makes resonable theories about games that no one has ever figured out before.
I'd love to see such a concept with bitcoin related subjects!  Grin Grin
Hahaha. You should see me in my Kaftan! I think I did too much drugs in my younger years. There's a gaping hole in my perception. Makes me think up silly things!

It's simple. This is just a popularity contest.

The more popular the coin, the higher the demand, and thus higher the price.

Also, because of the high traffic, all exchange sites want to add Ðoge (because of the earned fees) and it makes the coin even more popular.

I don't hold any Dogecoin myself (I mined 2,000,000 and traded them very early on) but I have great respect for the coin and the impact it's had. I don't understand why people are SO against it. Almost like Doge's existence is a personal attack on their own existence.

I'm not against it by any means, I just don't see anything special about it.  I don't even particularly like Litecoin.  It was cool at first because it used a new algo, but now I just mine with Middlecoin so I can hash Scrypt and get paid out in the cryptocurrency that I actually care about - Bitcoin.

But what makes Dogecoin special among a sea of clones?  The meme?  That's what I am struggling to understand.


Meme + size of community = hype = massive trading volume compared to other cryptos.

I see it this way:

Early adopters (Pre April 2013) coin of choice = Bitcoin
Relative newcomers (April 2013 - December 2013) coin of choice = Litecoin
New Adopters (Dec 2013 - present) coin of choice = Dogecoin

I don't think any should be seen as greater than any other. In a few months there might be another wave of adopters and they might create their own coin of choice.

But what makes Dogecoin special among a sea of clones?  The meme?  That's what I am struggling to understand.

Bitcoin was the first... then Litecoin really gained traction when SHA256 ASICs were developed.  Dogecoin is a clone of Litecoin.  There is nothing special about it in my eyes, and that won't change no matter how much support it gets.  In the end it's just one of many clones, albeit with a much stronger community. 
Come on man. A few months ago (before the famous Keiser inspired Litecoin madness) bitcoiners looked at LTC the same way both bitcoiners and litecoiners (and a lot of the supporters of coins established pre-Dec2013) now look at Dogecoin. They called it shit. They spat on it. They tried to poke it's eyes out with buy and sell walls.

I don't hold any Dogecoin myself (I mined 2,000,000 and traded them very early on) but I have great respect for the coin and the impact it's had. I don't understand why people are SO against it. Almost like Doge's existence is a personal attack on their own existence.
