Bitcoin Forum

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

Pump, pump.....

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

Some Extra Pump  ;D

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

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?

lol, you can not compare this. ridiculous!

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.

Cute, but no it's not :)

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

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...

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.

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.

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

I dislike how much attention Apple gets.

Yahoo?

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

Agreed. Apple is even worse.

I see a lot of people claiming them as Sr Members .. lol..  ;D saying DOGECoin as joke and say only newbies are attracted to DOGECoins.
They just forgot they are newbies when bitcoin was introduced.
DOGEs are attracted by a lots of newbies. Todays newbies are tomorrow's investors, senior members. By that time, today's senior members would have been retired. I see a lot of people asking me what is a crypto currency,  just to buy DOGECoins.
Let the Sr Members aka big time investors .. lol.. laugh at newbies now. I am sure they are secretly watching the movements of DOGECoins and trying to buy a few and sell when it goes up for some little profits :P

No other coins have a lot of attention, DOGE has in a short period of time. More newbies coming in showing interest in DOGECoins. Im sure those who are laughing at it now will feel more jealous and may even burst :D in a few months and try to get in slowly lol.. Too late by that time! Today's newbies gonna be the tomorrow's winners!

Laugh at me now. See you in a few months ;)

 

I will return to this post in 3 months to laugh at you...count on it  ;D

DogeCoin will go down as one of the best executed alt-coin pump and dumps...

That's about it, though.

I said that in the post. Read it again. Yahoo ruled for some time before Google came along. Have you forgotten?

In Dogecoin I trust.

A few days ago I was driving my daughter to school. She’s aware of my interest in crypto-currencies since I’m usually rambling on about Bitcoin every now and then. I mentioned to her about a new coin called Dogecoin and when I mentioned its origins to her, the first response I got was a smile and then a “for real”. She knew about the meme and the 2013 award, but not about the coin. Her smile got me thinking and reminded me of a course I took a few years back

Just a little background:

I have always aspired to hold a specific elected office in my City (NYC) and in preparation I pursued my Master’s in Public Administration at Harvard University (Kennedy School of Government). Most of the courses that I took were extremely interesting and centered around policy and politics of course as well as a few courses on public speaking, running campaigns, organizing groups and even one called “The Making of a Politician”—which actually prepared you for office. But by far, the most interesting course I took at the Kennedy School was one that was very difficult to enroll in. This course was called “Persuasion: The Science and Art of Effective Influence” and was taught by Dr. Gary Orren. http://www.hks.harvard.edu/degrees/teaching-courses/course-listing/mld-342

Students from every Harvard school (Gov’t, Law, Education, Divinity, etc.) had to essentially use a bidding system to enroll in this course. Students from M.I.T. were also permitted to enroll in this course. I had saved my bidding points from the prior semester because I had heard that this was an exceptional course.

On my first day in class Dr. Orren gave us an overview of the course and what to expect. During his presentation he mentioned that many years back a young man named Barack Obama sat (pointed to the seat) right near the middle of the class room and took the same course. One of my classmates leaned over mentioned that President Obama had once said that this was one of his favorite courses while attending Harvard. When making speeches, President Obama often follows the models taught at the Kennedy School (his lead speech writer – Cody Keenan is also a Harvard Kennedy School graduate). I’m just trying to reveal how truly impressive this course was, but I think I’m rambling on. Let’s get to the point.

So in this course in addition to several other things, we learned that in order to persuade someone to agree with you, do it your way, follow you, move in a direction you desire, etc., (important in the politics & policy world) there needs to be three elements that form a foundation; the logos, ethos and pathos. Aristotle was the philosopher who put forward that idea. Rather than dig out my notes I’m going to cheat and cut and paste descriptions of the three elements. These descriptions were found on a webpage http://courses.durhamtech.edu/perkins/aris.html

Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author (or of the crypto in our case). We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of argumentation is to project an impression to the reader that you are someone worth listening to, in other words making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect. Crypt-currencies have established their Ethos, we know that it is legitimate. We believe in it.

Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation, and cannot be emphasized enough. Crypto-currencies are logical to user over other payment methods for a variety of reasons.

Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument. Excluding Dogecoin, all other Crypto-currencies lack Pathos.

Now finally to my point: When I speak of persuasion going forward, what I am speaking of is the ability to win over people and get them to engage in the use of a crypto-currency. And I’m not speaking of the IT person or other tech savvy individual who is most likely well aware of crypto-currencies. Instead, I’m speaking of the average person.

If we examine Bitcoin, Litecoin and the myriad of other cryptographic-currencies we can see that they definitely contain two of the three elements needed to be successful in persuading someone to “agree” with them (use them). The two elements that Bitcoin and alt-coins possess are Logos and Ethos.

Crypto-Ethos – I don’t think that I need to go too much into this. But if you understand crypto, then you’ll know crypto can be trusted. Crypto is trustworthy, you can believe it.

Crypto-Logos – if you have a basic understanding of how crypto-currencies work, then you’ll understand the logical benefits that it can offer. Credits cards weren’t meant to be used on the internet and the 21st century needs a new form of digital currency and crypto is the answer.

So to sum things up, there are logical reasons to use crypto-currencies and crypto is trustworthy.

The Crypto-Pathos is missing though. (until Dogecoin)

Most people that I know who currently use crypto-currencies aren’t drawn to it by emotions. Instead, they understand its financial utility which is based on its logos and ethos.

The IT world and entrepreneurs who understand crypto-currencies are only a very small group, so how could you engage the masses to use crypto?

The answer to that is to create a crypto-currency that has all three elements to persuade them to use it. And along came Dogecoin. Let's look at it from another perspective ---- Real Wrestling versus WWF Wrestling (now WWE Wrestling - fake on TV). Which one of these draws a larger audience? WWE Wrestling of course. We all know (well most of us) that it's fictitious, so why then does WWE Wrestling draw millions of viewers from around the world, as opposed to real wrestling that's just plain boring? Because WWE (fake wrestling) with all its drama, has the emotional appeal that can move an audience to want see it more.

Every other Crypto is like real wrestling - gets the job done but is basic and boring. Dogecoin also gets the job done, but brings a flare to the technology that a broader audience can embrace through its emotional appeal.

With Dogecoin, there is a story to tell. One that can make you smile. Excluding Bitcoin (the father of all Crypto) what coin has a story to tell the audience that is emotionally appealing (make you smile, laugh, cry, etc.) I love Litecoin but what story can it tell an audience about itself other than the technological aspects of its use?

Like Bitcoin and other crypto, Dogecoin has a burgeoning community and its acceptance is growing. It has a language all of its own. Dogecoin has the emotional appeal that can and will attract the masses.

Dogecoin is a pioneer in its use of an emotional appeal to attract a larger audience and its success won’t be specific to itself. Similar to how Bitcoin paved the way for other crypto-currencies to follow, Dogecoin is paving the way for others to follow as well. Dogecoin is Bitcoin 2.0.

There will be many other coins to follow in Dogecoin’s footstep that will utilize all 3 of the elements necessary to motivate non-tech people to embrace these types of currencies and I think that Dogecoin is off to a great start because it possess all of the technological aspects of Bitcoin but has the ability to make the average person smile. Can any other crypto-currency do that?

Dogecoin is bitcoin 2.0? Sounds Legit.....

To the moooon!!!!!!

And the hashrates! All the bashing is not making any difference to it's progress. I await the 'give it a few months' and 'I'll bump this in 3 months time' comments

It will be very interesting to see 'CLIENT DOWNLOAD COUNTS' for all altcoins
 ;D

Ridiculous how everyone pumps doge today. Yesterday and over Sunday was DUMP phase so everybody presented studies why doge has no future... Holding only few doges and thinking what will happen after peaking the doge value... Obviously dump and "crash, doge useless, sell this shit until its hot, scamcoin"...

The data speaks for itself:

https://www.multipool.us/stats.php (https://www.multipool.us/stats.php)

I say again, it will be interesting to see 'CLIENT DOWNLOAD COUNTS' for all altcoins. I betcha dogecoin client downloads will make a lot of people on this forum very jealous, and also very angry!

 ;D such jealous much sad so annoyed to see a fun coin with lotsa attention?
Don't get burst out lol. I have to catch you again in 3 months. Im holding 10M doges bought at 0.00000020/btc. I wanna show you my profits before I sell them :D

Much Profit. Back to the moon!

I wonder what the negative posters are going to be saying when Doge Road is released within the next 2 weeks...

I'm not sure I understood the success of Dogecoin before reading this post, but now it is perfectly clear.

See, I was a pretty big fan of Obama at the beginning of his campaign and after hearing a few speeches from him and what not, but after looking into him and his voting records more, I realized he was pretty much the same as the rest (the rest meaning any major republican or democratic plan... both of these parties are a joke and are just working to see the biggest paycheck and popularity possible).

So basically, the democratic party won the last 2 elections... they got a popular little dude in office that has no idea what he is doing (as it has going for decades now, regardless of party) and figured out how to win the votes. Give the public a decent speaker and decent speaches, and guess who they vote for? that's right, fuck the details... let's go with this guy that seems alright. It may be a republican in a few years... just depends on who wins the marketing campaign. Point is, neither one side gives any fucks at all, it's all business. So they will put whoever they think will win at the head of their campaign.

So, dogecoin, and any derivatives of it, will continue to run crypto currency to the ground. Just as the last few U.S. presidents have continued to run the U.S. to the ground.

Example 1: Republican president Bush: Oh, hey guyzzz!!111! :D Here's a bunch of awesome tax credits!!!11!  :D Also, we're going to war with EVERYBODY!!!!11! :D But we haz the oilz!!! Yay! Vote for me againz!!1!!

Result: Oh, ya know... just a few more trillions of USD debt. And fuck other countries. US #1!!!11!!

Example 2: Democratic president Obama: Oh, hey guyzzz!!111!! I haz phonez for you! Haha! :D Oh, and awesome insurance planz, 2! :D Oh, I captured O sama too! :) Vote for me againz!!1!!

Result: Oh, ya know.... fuck debt reduction, we foundz more trillionz of debt. And fuck other countries. US #1!!!11!!

So anyway... Doge is the sh1t!!!111!!! :D

But, here's the bright side. There are a few guys out there that want good shit to happen. So hopefully one day, we will get more and more people around the world that actually give a fuck about what happens in this world and something good will happen.

In the meantime, enjoy the nice pump and dump profits, and live long and prosper and what not.

+1. They shouldn't have based it on a meme.

Probably the same as what the 2 posts above this one just said!
 :D

i'll check back in 3 months i think.  8)

doge the peoples cryptocurrency to the moon!

What an extremely elaborate post just to highlight that Dogecoin is nothing more than a Hipstercoin.

Your application of the three elements with regards to Dogecoin is highly flawed in my opinion.

Also just because something is popular, doesn't mean it is inherently good.

This whole "Internet" thing is a giant pump and dump.

Dogecoin on the other hand, it's here to stay!

yeah, and whos stock is worth more now?

Show up, mine your Dogecoin, cash out, move on.  That is how this needs to be done.  I am sorry but there will never be a serious currency catch on that is based on memes and "many silly" "much goofy".

Yea.

3 weeks later and doge is flying.  :D

Anybody out there still laughing at DogeCoin?
 ;D

No shit. How wrong these people were.

Replace Justin Bieber with Dogecoin in this video.  :D

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=972_1390528564

And we shall know them by their silence.
;D

It's 2 months and dogecoin is going strong. In fact facebook and tweeter are working on tipping systems with dogecoins. Once those go live like or hate it dogecoin will be a fact of life for a very long time. It as a currency actually has a RL use beside cash or wealth holding/hiding. Every tipbot software being make has said that the #1 requested feature thet requested by their clients have with their service/software is that include dogecoin as a coin option. This scruffy joke coin is in fact going to be around every bite as much as bitecoin or litecoin. Bitecoin and other coin owners need worry about dogecoins so mcuh as Zerocoin. It will do what bitecoin does for most of its owners but a whole lot better. Hide money and make damn near impossible to trace transaction with its "zeroknowladgeproof algos" built in to it. All those "silkroad" type places will flock to it when it launches in May.

FYI I own bitecoins (a few), litecoins(more), and dogecoins(a lot) and smartcoins(just started). I will most definintly own Zerocoin when it launches. I put my money where my mouth is.

Hahaha! Hilarious!
 :D :D

its just people wrapped up in their own coin that dont understand if something is popular it can be successful, i sometimes think newbies understand more about the economics of cryptos than older members.  ::)

I started believing in Dogecoin a couple of weeks ago when I sold some PCIe risers to someone off of Craigslist.

When I met him he said that he kinda followed Bitcoin but never really got into it.  Then he said he was so pumped about Dogecoin that he just had to go out and buy a mining rig so he could get his hands on some DOGE.  He bought 8 risers from me, and had a car full of equipment... for Dogecoin.  Not Bitcoin or Litecoin, but Dogecoin.

Personally, I still don't get it but it clearly has much wow and such appeal.

wow never noticed the date while reading

Who is the Yahoo Serious to Dogecoin's Yahoo?

1 month gone already. Wish everyone here gonna laugh at you big time in 2 months time :P
Hope you counting it right!

Doge denniers = missed the train.

I think I get it. There's been a large influx of people in December who think (or know?) that they've kinda missed the bitcoin bus. No point getting excited about bitcoin if you're new. Dogecoin was a chance to be in on the ground level of something that could be big.

And also, there were enough coins to go round for even the smallest of miners. Owning 1,000,000 DOGE is a LOT more exciting than owning 1.59 BTC. That's probably also why kittehcoin and mooncoin are doing so well right about now. People like to have lots! It's not just about the $ value, it's also about feeling good about what you're doing (IMHO).

yahoo was actually doing something for people, thats why it lasts, dogecoin does something just for bunch of pumpers.

This is no fud, but simple facts that Doge is the worst investment. Every trader and investor needs to read this and take this into account when buying.

http://cryptosource.org/good-buys-and-coins-to-avoid-how-daily-coin-maintenance-costs-should-factor-into-your-investment-decisions/

doge has brought the world of cryptocurrencies to 1000's and 1000's of people who had never heard of it before, not many coins can say that.

That is a very silly way to base a coin's potential value, transaction fees handle that cost automatically more transactions higher cost, but more transactions higher coin usage if anything you just point out with it that doge is used more often and by more people than all other coins combined. How is this a bad thing?

Read the article again

Price goes down, mining goes down, coins generated goes down, usage goes down. That big and scary maintenance cost boogey man shrinks. I understand it very well. That number looks big and scary to the author of that article and to you because of how many coins and how much usage doge has. There is a balance to it all.

That article is all well and good aside from the fact they then say

"Mind you, you will find all the big guns in this section (BTC, LTC). We consider Bitcoin and Litecoin to be “safe bets”. Their value and community have proven themselves, and their prices should remain fairly stable."

So the LTC community is more valid than Doges faster growing community? Doges community has already proven itself with the mass of services rolling out every day.

Don't forget charities - SaveDogemas and fund for Jamaican Bobsled team. Those are just the really big ones. There are smaller ones every day. Which coin has that? Noble is on a good path.

Most important part - they are bringing new people to cryptocurrency. One way or another, Dogecoin has done only good to crypto community

That article is just an opinion. It's like me telling you that dinosaurs never existed because I can dig up an article that says so.

I never thought that DOGE was going this far. Who knows where people will take it. It may be the next Litecoin. I mean after all, the coins are pretty much the same. The only thing that differentiates them is the amount of hash power on their network, community and their name. Now I'm not saying that DOGE will be worth $25.00 each. I think there is no way in hell. Maybe 1cent each. Then it will be close to the marketcap of LTC.

How is the fact that the amount of money needed per day to keep the coin at it’s current value an opinion?

This makes no sense at all. Do you remember many, many other things that started as a joke? No? Well nobody does.

It is a fact, however it is ALSO A FACT that doge has one of the biggest communities hence a lot more pull to attract new funds.

When the block rewards get chopped a few more times....doge will go up again, you can count on it.  Yeah it just went from 20's to 200's  so that is a pump and is settling back to a reasonable level...however in the future if you think 200 is the top you will be wrong.

It's an opinion that it's not a good investment. Are you saying that it is a fact that Dogecoin is not a good investment? Cos many will disagree with you!

Also, goto the Cryptosource website MENU > COINS > OTHER COINS. Do you see DogeCoin listed there? I think their stance on DogeCoin is very obvious!
:D

You really have to break that one down for me dude. I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean.

And the other points out that you need to invest in dying coins...

Right. 

It's kind of like the penny-stock player mentality that it is more exciting to have 1,000,000 shares of SHITQ than 2 shares of AAPL

I might end up buying a small amount of DOGE to hold long, but I'm not a penny-stock player anymore.  Gonna hold onto the big ones and might diversify in some alt-coins, but I think BTC/LTC is diversified enough :D

There's no need for that! You're barred!!

Dogecoin has made lots of money (and other coins) for a lot of people. It's also raised the profile of cryptos in general (and it's not seen as a black market or money laundering vehicle by the public! wink wink). IT DEMANDS RESPECT!
:D

notice the people slagging off doge thinking they new about cryptocurrencies arnt saying anything now.  >:(

Let's be honest: No one cares about cryptocurrencies beyond Doge in terms of the general, non-nerd public. Thats why Doge will be massive.

hah!  I was just making up some bullshit ticker, but even the worst stocks make lots of money for a lot of people.   All pump and dumps have winners and losers.  

Dogecoin has obviously done more than most alt-coins as far as bringing in new types of miners and crypto traders/users.  I just can't take it seriously as something that will be viable in the future.  I don't even know how to say the damn name of the coin correctly.  I know it's some hip meme thing that I should be more familiar with, but I'm just an old man (turned 29 last year) who doesn't quite get it.

I still believe it's time will be up soon, but it has already surprised me once!

This is what I don't get... why isn't there a Facebook Coin or a Lolcat Coin?  If all you have to do is slap a coin on some popular meme as a recipe for success then why isn't it being replicated many times over? Dogecoin doesn't seem special to me, but I have sold risers to more than a few people who were buying them simply because they were interested in mining the Dogecoin.

One of my friends heard about Dogecoin and then started asking me about Bitcoin since he knew I was borderline obsessed with it...

I dunno.  I guess I will put a biscuit into the doggy and see if it barks.

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.

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!  ;D ;D

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

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2014/01/14/dogecoin-transactions-outpacing-those-in-bitcoin-heres-why-thats-not-surprising/

be interesting to see what happens to doge when the winter olympics start.

http://www.nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/dogsled-625x312.jpg

what kind of respectable business is going to use a crypto called dogecoin..................this isn't the 90's any more KIDS, shit about to get serious, the dollar is fucked people don't have money to just throw around, and waste on another fad equivalent to beaniebaby's, only serious crypto will survive and doge is a JOKE, and not Evan a funny one, it's something down syndrome children find funny, not to mention is just another crypto currency how many do we need, doge ain't nothing special who gives a fuck if the community is strong, people about to be standing in bread lines, you think they gonna find your child antics funny when shit hits the fan....NO they are not....there are already plenty of good cryptocurrency's, what we need now is crypto "commoditys" the digital equivlant of gold and silver, not something to trade we have them already much better then DOGE the next big things are CRYPTOGENIC BULLION, PROTOSHARES, DIAMOND, BITGEMS, BITBARS, we have trading coins what people need is a place to store there wealth and this is where cryptocommoditys come into play, doge is a fad, needs to be taken out the back, shot, and buried, oh don't evan try to say im butt hurt because i didn't buy any, i have probably made more money then 80% of this forum on crypto's so don't start, doge make's the whole crypto community look dumb....period  

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.

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

...I don't think you really need Doge to look dumb...your doing just fine all by your lonesome :)

:D

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 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?

 :o

It was hilarious to see the people mocking doge when it first came out and was getting randomly tipped everywhere. It's even funnier now to see people so upset by it when it actually has value.

http://www.straight.com/life/588421/worlds-first-dogecoin-atm-launches-vancouver :D

LOL... still waiting for my Dogecoin CD in the mail....

Just felt like laughing at Scooby903  :P
Doge was like 30 Satoshis when you were laughing at me. Ok.. forget the rates.. Look at the popularity!
Hope you aren't crying right now being a doge hater. I can feed you some doge  ::)
DOGE Rocks all over internet!
This is just enough for me as an early adopter.
No wonder there are many DOGE haters = missed the train big time :D

Agreed ;-).. Eveyone was a newbie when bitcoin was introduced, but now they have bitcoins and mining with high speeds they are suddenly better then everyone?.
I think Dogecoin will grow like bitcoin did, no need to justify this coin by the name, as Bitcoin sounded very weird at introduction.

And then mining bitcoin is not smart, it's difficulty is to much, price is dropping fast, making profit is only when you invest huge amounts of money in clouds or big mining rigs.
Advice.. mine dogecoins, make it work.. and the bitoin story repeats.. if you still believe in the difficuly and hard to get bitcoin.. good luck seeking gold.. ;-)

Oh wow, somebody made bitcoins as well.. look at the man!!!..
Come on.. look at yourself, you werent even into bitcoin from the start, that why you brag about it..

Anywayzzzzz..

I think your wrong, the bitoin is going to die soon, we all know that.. it was fun, it was the first one, but not the last. It opened the door for sure, but it will not rule the crypto world forever.
Dogecoin has the most change of getting big, and you know that too ;-). i made my bitcoins as well, but it is time to leave the bitcoin RIP and make money using a new one, and trust me.. it will!.

BTC came before Doge.
Does that mean Doggie will be bigger?   :D

Why DOGE will be bigger? and why not?  ???
We respect bitcoin and all Shibes want Bitcoin to rule the crypto world without disrespecting DOGE! The new budding WARRIOR :D

We have seen Dogecoin before... It's name is Yahoo!

So....
Doge could either be Yahoo! or Pets.com
The difference is worth Billions of $$$$$$$$$$$'s
I currently have no doggie in this race.

Which side are you on?

Dogecoins are too funny to be taken seriously!
I mean meme thats a coin?
You can just imagine the failure that will occur

I keep hearing about Yahoo and Google but ever since altavista broke, I can't find out anything.
When will altavista be back up?

I keep keep getting a redirect, but my mosaic doesn't handle those very well.

Don't be hating on Alta Vista!

Hmmm... Is Doge headed for the moon? Will it soon be the new 'Yahoo'?

Doge haters must be apoplectic with rage right about now. Spill some bile on me boys! Spill some bile...

;D

Google INVENTED the internet.

Get your facts straight.

when I looked,  51 million sitting around 100 sat to be sold

Doge is just a clone of LTC with a dog head on it.

There is one Killer feature about Doge that is actually the hardest to develop.


People like it, use it, support it.

Doge has an active following. That's what's keeping it afloat. It has nothing to do with the features. In fact, merge mining and a constantly inflating cap were both bad decisions, and dog is hanging on despite of them.

Hmm. I wonder if they'll bite?
