Dogecoin certainly has the marketing advantage. Just look at them go!

http://altcoinpress.com/2014/03/dogecoin-to-sponser-nascar-driver-josh-wise/

that's the only thing it has it fails at every other aspect.

This. The history of technology is filled with examples of marketing winning over technical merits. Doge is winning in the marketing arena.

And will fail once asics 51% it , 3 forks in 3 months.

A really good point that has been brought up is the battle between infrastructure and marketing.

My take is that whoever wins the infrastructure battle will win this overall. And one of the keys is whoever can get onto Coinbase first. Mind you, getting on Coinbase itself is quite unlikely at the moment, but I can see a startup that functions like Coinbase dealing in either LTC, DOGE, or really any other coin getting picked up by Coinbase.

That will give them a significant edge as the amount of integration that Coinbase provides is frankly astounding for how young the crypto-currency scene is. After all, Overstock partnered with Coinbase to start accepting BTC. And whatever other currency can get picked up by them will have the clear advantage.

Sure having a marketing edge is nice, but it doesn't mean anything without strong infrastructure. The reason why McDonald's is so strong is not only because of marketing. They have insane Logistics and Supply Chains that are well-managed and well-formed that allows them to not fall under the weight that they have. That's why for a long time, prior to the 2008 recession, McDonald's was the price-maker in the fast food scene. Their infrastructure allowed them to provide the most competitive price.

Going back to Coinbase once again, I don't think they will transact in another coin other than BTC for the short- to medium-term. It's much more likely they would acquire a startup dealing in another crypto-currency. After all, I'm pretty sure Coinbase would rather not have to get through the legal and financial hurdles that they had to with BTC.

The Litecoin creator works at Coinbase , the next coin on Coinbase will be Litecoin and that's 100%.

I should clarify, I think that LTC has a higher likelihood of being picked up by Coinbase than any other crypto-currency. That said, just because the creator of Litecoin works at Coinbase doesn't mean that it'll be the next crypto-currency on there. This was discussed 6 months ago when that news was released; after all, he's not the owner of Coinbase and let's face it, they are still developing their platforms for Bitcoin as it is right now. Additionally, there are tons of barriers and legwork that needs to be done in order to add a second crypto-currency systematically. I mean even the U.S. government is still murky on so many points regarding Bitcoin; so for a single company to add a second coin wouldn't make sense. I still stand by my comment that it's more likely for another startup to deal with LTC before that startup being acquired by Coinbase. It just makes much more prudent business sense at the moment.

Dogecoin have something that touch hearts ^^ ..
You can lought from Doge meme but this is marketing hit...
Soon with 5% inflation and BIG market it can be easier to use hold Doge than LTC...
Even tha stupid inflation of BTC and DOge will matter in future but you wont see that today when Doge have HIGH inflation.
Process will take year or two to establish price lvls.
I respect LTC but only for Doge ASICs are win high ash power with low cost that is something that Doge needed...
LTC with so high inflation when wil hit top profit of scypt coins will go down like other script coins.
High diff and roi of ASICs will couse headake LTC miners too soon like it is with BTC miners...
In logn run LOW new points of dystrybution of LTC few datacenters like with BTC with centralize minig in same time
Doge will have 95% coins mined out and that 5% year is in real tip to maintenance network...
That makes Doge ASICs proof it was mined without ASICs mostly...
We will see diffrenece when doge will hit lat halfing ^^ and year later.

this makes no sense.

Let make it in short:

Doge: fast distribution 1 year - 5% inflation after
LTC: long distribution but much higher inflation this year 30%
__________________________________________

LTC ASICs = centralized mining in one year just look at cex.io and their 40% hash rate soone or later it will be same with LTC.... ( 65% - of new coins in such distribution )
Doge ASICs will help keep high hash power (last about 10%-15% will be mined in such way and centralized mining)

__________________________________________

Doge even in 3 months enormous market.
LTC allso big market even bigger but coin is much older that Doge.

___________________________________________
Community:
Doge - creative, can donate (eg. Jamayka team) and other stuff. helpfull , but also many kids
LTC - Miners, some bag holders, good Dev team, dedicated haters - this is one of most trolling community ever ( they flame other alts but they cannot stans that LTC is BTC clone in same time )

____________________________________________
Development:
Doge - those guys fast made tip bots, online wallets, light wallets, but many copied from LTC too.
LTC - hmm they aren't so creative active but Devs are more than GOOD
____________________________________________

Speed:
Doge 1min
LTC 2.5mn
_____________________________________________

Winner for me is Doge.
But LTC have some strong pints like market position and Devs.

Biggest Doge + is community and creative people...
Eg. some RobinHood wanted give away on reddit 14m Doges to people and he gave...
i just can't imagine such situation with LTC sry.

The simple fact that there is a thread with multiple pages debating between which digital currency (Litecoin vs. Dogecoin) is better sums everything up.

Just to put things in perspective for those blinded by emotions; let's just say we're comparing cars.

Someone creates a thread asking which car is better, a 2014 Mercedes Bens S class or a 2014 BMW 700 series.  The debate would go on for multiple pages, sort of like this thread.  You'd have lots of posters saying how Mercedes were better and why, whilst others espouse the virtues of BMW's.

But lets say we started a thread and asked if a 2014 Mercedes S class was better than a 2014 KIA (save me the semantics, you know which car most people would want). How far would that thread go? Would there even need to be anything beyond the first page?

What you have here is Litecoin (Mercedes Benz) vs. Dogecoin (BMW) and as such you have multiple pages of passionate people voicing their beliefs as to why one or the other is better.

While most other alt-coins including Dogecoin are just Litecoin clones, Dogecoin makes up for being late to the digital currency world by having a massive community that's making crypto easy for the average person. Dogecoin is the first crypto for many thousands of people and all we have to do is keep rinsing and repeating.  

The digital currency that will win out over all other digital currency will be the one that gets embraced by the main stream.

Right now there is a developing story about a relatively popular main stream website that will be implementing Dogecoin for its visitors to use. If that comes to fruition, we're just a few more steps towards main stream adoption.  Maybe it won't happen for Dogecoin, but just like Bitcoin and Litecoin, Dogecoin is paving the way for things to come.  

You can sit behind your keyboards and cast aspersions against Dogecoin all you want, but in the end, Dogecoin's success will be the success of your preferred digital currency.

LTC with so high inflation when wil hit top profit of scypt coins will go down like other script coins.
High diff and roi of ASICs will couse headake LTC miners too soon like it is with BTC miners...
In logn run LOW new points of dystrybution of LTC few datacenters like with BTC with centralize minig in same time
Doge will have 95% coins mined out and that 5% year is in real tip to maintenance network...
That makes Doge ASICs proof it was mined without ASICs mostly...
We will see diffrenece when doge will hit lat halfing ^^ and year later.

As the saying goes: buy the rumor, sell the fact.

El Dude, I hope you managed to offload your overvalued LTCs to the suckers while you were mouth-pumping it and it bounced a la dead-cat style. Too late now if you didn't Smiley

I like how you try to ramp your failed clone coin too, now with 100's of clones the most overvalued coin currently going arround  Roll Eyes. Litecoin is a complete failure. Built to combat ASICS-NOW BEING RAPED BY SCRYPT ASICS=Mega fail.


                     marketcap                                             24 hour volume
 Litecoin   $ 491,793,556   $ 18.43   26,680,054 LTC   $ 12,806,345   +7.88 %

just end your life already

my point exactly, why buy when you can get 100 of clones for a fraction of the price? r.i.p off.

wtf r you saying ? why buy a good coin that merchants will accept and has a future with a real dev team when you could buy a clone coin that will die after the next pump ?
