Why can't people do all that with Bitcoin?
I think dogecoin's real advantage is that it really has the potential to bring in a range of casual users who haven't ventured into cryptocurrencies before. Everyone can send their friends dogecoins, wear dogecoin t-shirts, tip in doge freely and so forth. It's approachable and funny (at least to those who haven't been seeing the doge meme endlessly).
If dogecoin grows the bitcoin market, that's only a net benefit for everyone already in there. And if the hype train keeps up, it *will* grow the market and boost bitcoin - just like it's gotten me to purchase BTC for the first time, so I can buy doge.

Mined like 50k and bought 100K and been excancing them to bitcoin for a better price,and buying back.Well see it in mid january if itll hit the moon.
If not it will just die out.Needs lot of promoting and something to do with the coin.If buy/sell is the only option,it wont survive.

So far I mine it with my GPU, but Dogecoin will fade away once mining Doges becomes unprofitable. The Dogecoin will be still alive, but more popular and fresh altcoin starts later
@Ch1bi sure because you can still laughed at the Catcoin also 
Every DogE have a day so lets wait I Hope Doge will not only be a joke.
When I first heard about it I laughed at the name, but I personally don't think it'll be more than what it is now as there are many other alt coins out there.
in my opinion the coin will be around for some time, some good reasons were already posted:
1) Quantity - People just like to have coins... many coins. I don't know why, but for many people 1000 cents just sounds more than 10 $/€
2) Easy to mine - The difficulty is still very low in comparison to other cryptocurrencies. another point is you get a ridiculous amount of revenue for solving one block (see pt 1)
3) The meme factor - Many doges, so much known, very interest, wow

You have to add to this the infrastructure the coin has attracted. Lots of faucets, doge-dice, and it's on what, three exchanges? I agree the joke is already old, but the coin never took itself seriously and there has got to be something to say for that. Having lots of nothing is fun!

I have faith in it because people said the joke is old already a few days after it came up. The annoyance is a big part of the meme. There is always somebody having fun at annoying people.
DogeCoin is merely a spectacle. I believe it will fade in due time.
heresy,heresy I say!
the almighty doge will never fade away, he's always around us, since the begging of doge and until Earth explodes the doge will be here!

It will stay around for a while, a little while at least...how many coins has it already passed up, quickly! Too many coins that should be dead...but just wont die, like bad zombies. Doge will stick it out for a bit.
I still mine Doge, I trade it on an exchange for Bitcoin.
Doge is a lot of coins in a lot of hands! I think it could have some potential for micropayments on the web in the future...
I refuse to spend any real money (or trade it for other crypto-currency) though. Just casually mine a few thousand here and there.

People seem to be forgetting that a lot of people don't work or go to school during December and the holidays. We will see in January, if the flow of newbs is as high as now.
It doesn't matter, as long as we all have some fun. But to be honest, "Doge" sounds a bit strange. I'm new here and i saw "Dime" coin. I'm more interested in that one.
Anyway, Merry X-Mas

it will die when the joke gets old.
The joke already got old.
It really did. But there's a lot of other shitcoins that have absolutely no additional benefits, are without the 'hook' and should have died long ago, yet they're still traded.
For some reason, there has been a huge influx of registered users here for Doge ..they're gonna hold the demand up some. ...or they're sock puppets trying to pump price and it'll crash in a glorious avalanche all at once.im actually quite surprised at the success its already had.... but if i were to guess it is going to fade away but i could be wrong
Maybe it's a joke.
Its already so much more. But how long will it even be semi-relevant?
