Agreed. Apple is even worse.

Yahoo?

Don't you mean "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web"?

Google was simple and to the point when no-one was.

I dislike how much attention Apple gets.

Ya except YAHOO came before GOOGLE

Google was in fact NOT THAT REVOLUTIONARY and I freaking hate how much credit it gets. Not that Yahoo deserves credit in that department, but still.

If, 15 years down the road Dogecoin were to be remembered as the original crytpocurrency, and bitcoin the clone, then Dogecoin would be like Google.

It was funny for about a week. Great if it introduces people to crypto, but I'm betting there'll be a lot of tears when noobs are left holding a load of coins that are now practically worthless.

Same here. it was funny for a while but I can't hear it anymore. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so...

Cute, but no it's not

Anyway, MSFT is still relieved their bid for YHOO of $45B was rejected (at least it wasn't as retarded as the reject of the $3B offer by FB for "Snapchat")

I'm sure Dogecoin will be largely forgotten about in a few months time when its users grow up or get bored of the whole joke, or when mining becomes unprofitable and they realise they can't actually buy jackshit with it.

lol, you can not compare this. ridiculous!

Dogecoin is a nice phenomen from which I earned 1.5btc with little risk. Not more, not less. By the way, I had never heard of the doge meme before. Who had?

BitCoinTalk.org has to be incorporated in Market Psychology 101 Classes by now

Some Extra Pump 

Seriously. If you know the internet, then you know how these things go.

Pump, pump.....

Yahoo... Does anyone here remember how Yahoo started? Does anyone remember how it was seen as a joke when it first started because of the name and the concept behind the name (a race of crude nasty people from Gulliver's travels)? It's now known globally as Yahoo inc. And it blasted away some very strong competition in the process. Remember Alta-Vista? Of course, Google stole the lion's share in the end, but Yahoo is still a major player in the portal arena.

It's possible that DogePower will do something that other crypto's can only evangelise about. Large scale anonymous person-to-person transactions. Dogecoin 'looks' like it's on the verge of entering public consciousness. If it does, then people will want to get their hands on some dogecoins. I can more easily see people exchanging items for dogecoins, than I can see them exchanging items for any other coin around now. Just for the fun value. I can see a person exchanging an old phone for some dogecoins (on the spot, face to face - not via a website or other third party). The apps probably don't exist right now, but with a QR code and a mobile phone, all things are possible!

No interaction with an exchange for a USD equivalent. Daily exchange price fluctuations will have just as much effect on the general public as everything else that fluctuates in price does (e.g. fuel prices). This is just a person to person interaction that's completely private based on the value that those 2 individuals place on whatever item or service is to be exchanged.

So anyone mocking the name, origin, or theme of the name Dogecoin needs to remember (or find out) where Yahoo inc came from.

tl;dr? Dogecoin is the new Yahoo
