While I wouldn't necessarily call the Doge community retarded... I agree with the overall message here.
If I were on the outside of the crpyto-currency scene and ran across the majority of the alt coins nowadays, I'd have no confidence to invest. Even better, if my first exposure were to coins like Coinye and Doge (keep in mind I don't know anything about nothing yet), I would think it's a total joke and my entire impression on crypto would be forever tainted; bitcoins wouldn't have a shot in hell in my book.
But as I am on the inside... I'll secretly collect the alt coins I think I might make a buck or two from... but I'll be damned if I'd run around promoting them. Imagine me: I'm mining Potcoin - my colleagues' imagination would run wild. Just sayin'
You know what this is what excatly happened to me in 2011. When I first heard about 'Bitcoin', I thought "What...? Bitcoin..? a currency..? this must be a joke" along the lines of that and I can't believe how much that cost me... Same to the people who refuse to believe in Dogecoin, it's their loss... we can't do anything about it. Any currency like Dollar(crazy name for a currency), Ruble etc.. has the value community asigned to it based on it's usage. No other things matters... Doge has it's uses like Bitcoin and has a strong community who accepted it as a currency.. If someone hate a currency just because of it's name, then he is actually the retard here... The one who made this thread must has a large stash of some other coin and furious about doge stealing it's lime light or may be he is furious about Bitcoin's price drop and his hate for doge coin forced him into the conclusion that dogecoin is the reason for the drop... Anyway he is actually the jealous short sighted retard here.
So just to clarify my position a little...
'Same to the people who refuse to believe in Dogecoin, it's their loss'
Is it really about refusing to believe in the coin? The same can be said about
any coin - it's still a risk at the end of the day. If I actively mine and trade Dogecoins but I'm not soliciting it all over the internet, tell me - Do I believe in it?
'If someone hate a currency just because of it's name, then he is actually the retard here' Not sure who would hate a coin because of its name alone, but personally to see people following the crowd with all the Dogecoin memes are - well...
much elementary (did I do that right?). So I'm a professional in real life. If someone tried to introduce me to crypto with Doge; and I when consult Google all I see are people exclaiming phrases like 'much this/that' and 'Wow' to describe this coin's rationale... why would I take it
much seriously? I hope you understand that it's a little more than just the name; and hate is a rather strong descriptive term.
'The one who made this thread must has a large stash of some other coin and furious about doge stealing it's lime light or may be he is furious about Bitcoin's price drop and his hate for doge coin forced him into the conclusion that dogecoin is the reason for the drop... Anyway he is actually the jealous short sighted retard here.' That's quite of bit of inference there. Honestly I could care less of his personal motive/reasoning for making the statement. Point is, he made one.
And to ensure no focus is lost on niceli's post it's a new reply:
I agree that doge does not earn the success its having at the moment in any way. The only thing driving it is a community which consists. of 1/4 internet trolls (think 4chan), 1/4 people who are blind followers and 2/4 greedy folks who dont question anything.
Community can only take something so far. Who really thinks that people outside of above groups will take a such wow coin seriously?
