Title: Dogecoin on the brink
Post by: DieJohnny on April 10, 2014, 05:28:17 PM
I took a look at the Cryptsy order book today and I have no idea what is keeping the price up at all. There are so many sell orders above current strike price and so few buy orders all the way down, down, down. There just really is no buy order resistance. It seems one big miner that decides to get btc and cash out the price would crash to oblivion.

is Dogecoin about to enter the ranks of Franko and other well meaning coins that are now worthless 1s and 0s on a stupid hard drive?

I sure hope not! Cause if 1 DOGE were to fall to the price of 1 FRK, the world economy might just collapse.

Regardless of how "amazing" the technology is or how loud the 'dev' is, all the alts are all worthless in the long run.

They have been worth less today then yesterday, wonder if that bitcoin uptrend is going to slow down today.

Actually they are worth what someone will pay for them so each is worth something many a significant something. I already made a post on the hows and whys and included it for reference.


Quote
Had an opportunity to preach on alt coins quite a bit at the Inside Bitcoin convention in NY City. Met lots of Bitcoin purists who just had no taste for alternative coins and plenty of alt coin lovers all with great and unique ideas.

A few altcoins were well represented at the conference eMunie had a booth on the floor, DOGE coin (of course), Bitshares folks, Florincoin just to name a couple of them.
Figured I would share why I think Altcoins are important to Bitcoin. Altcoins are a grand experiment a giant lab where tweaks and changes to the blockchain give live (mostly) working examples of how a blockchain can work under different conditions.

Why this is good is it shows us ways Bitcoin can if needed adapt and change. Let’s take the androidtokens 2.0 or the protoshares snapshot for example. Both are unique ways to completely abandon a chain and begin on a new algorithm new chain while users retain their holdings. Now whether or not you agree with how it was done the fact that they accomplished it shows that Bitcoin itself could if needed do something similar.

DOGE coin is an amazing example of a coin that I for one discounted early on but now find very intriguing. Not because of its innovation but its community. DOGE has made crypto hip. I think many see Bitcoin as a computer nerd or investors game right now and it is hard to get folks interested unless you talk numbers. While DOGE many in that community only know about crypto because of the coin name and meme. Pretty soon we will have a NASCAR driving around the track at Talladega http://gas2.org/2014/04/09/dogecoin-nascar-livery-chosen-much-black . Like it or not this is VERY powerful. The Bitcoin community could learn from this example.

See the auto industry pre-WW2 in the US for why. Some produced arguably better cars than their counterparts, but as the market decided, only a handful emerged on top.

If you think that any currency that requires technical know-how, GPUs, and a cheerleading 'developer' to keep it afloat will ever replace real-world currency you're either mislead or overly pragmatic. Yes, there is a market for additional coins rather than just Bitcoin--but if the primary use of the coin is to convert it to Bitcoin (which is then generally converted to cash) then there is no real point.

"Franko" is a great example of this exact paradox. It has an active group behind it pushing for its adoption and a very loud and respected 'dev' who continually works to maintain its image, yet in the end its just another version of something we already have. The crypto currencies that will survive and be adopted need to lower the bar for entry and in addition need to have enough usage (read, mining) that their networks are secure. Sticking with my example, Franko has a great vision, a great 'dev,' and is sort of useful for things--but its network could fairly easily be overtaken by a GPU farm and there in lies the crux of the problem--as markm is always pointing out, if you put your money in to something for the long-term, it should be secure. At this time, I'd say only BTC/DVC/NMC and the other merge-mined coins have an edge and its because ASIC devices are permeating the marketplace (even though the primary reason for them is Bitcoin).

Hey, take what I say with a grain of salt--I know you'll all cry, "this is only the beginning for crypto," I disagree.

I do agree with you though. The market (people with money) get to decide what floats and what sinks.

Again I totally disagree at the inside Bitcoins conference in NY I heard and saw many great examples of why Crypto works.

First worldwide smartphone adoption http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Smartphone-Users-Worldwide-Will-Total-175-Billion-2014/1010536 people might not have computers but they will have smartphones and all you need is a phone to trade any currency.

Second in many countries around the world you can see great examples of why Bitcoins/crypto is needed and being adopted. Blockchain CEO Nic Cary gave some great global examples you can read here http://www.coindesk.com/blockchain-ceo-nic-cary-global-stories-highlight-bitcoins-value/ anyhow crypto will continue to grow evolve and explode.

and has helped make them as he admitted for example with the coin called CASH on another topic
i have no doubt at all had his hand in others lol
which is not a crime ! ..i am no way saying anything other than it *could maybe be a potential position of advantage.
consider BJ's position with Cryptsy. is there any evidence against saying he done anything wrong with the exchange ? not that i am aware of
but that does not change the reality that people in special positions are in special positions.. it is what it is.

over all i am leaning to agreeing with who i think is iGotSpots's puppet account or something
the guy that randomly pops up when iGotSpots disappears after Trolling on me coincidentally.
usually the only time this guy talks actualy is to pop up out of no where with some slanderous attack on me over my posting of my crypto opinions
which is funny because he just posted what i always post lol
who is is though i don't know all i can do is speculate.. i guarantee i know the guy here with other account names though that much i am sure about..
but its not WHO that matters it's what they say.. and i can't deny Mr Aids here has made rock solid points
echo'ing my views i have even argued with BJ about on Cryptsy chat a few time way back last year lol
BUT
There is merit to what BJ is saying but overall i think iGotAIDS trumps his arguments and wins lol

haha I do miss our debates. Though saying he trumped me "meh" I tend to fight with facts saw nothing in return beyond the fact that its proven that I love altcoins.... Guilty. On that note I also love BTC.... Yes I supported the CASH coin folks (loved the idea) I supported Bottlecaps (made in cryptsy chat), I support Franko love the community and I love DOGE (example of how to focus a community).

Hey guys give this a try support the experiment that is altcoins throw the anti alt efforts into some positive for a coin you like. For you Spoetnik maybe just maybe there will be a troll box again.... You never know.

Jackson was on facebook today bashing bitcoin...  I'd say DOGE is done.

The same people who own hundreds of millions of DOGE own hundreds and thousands of Bitcoins.  

Why would you take shots at the coin that made your coin popular.... We may never know... Fuckin redditors! :D


I'd say DOGE is a STRONG sell at this point.

AUR got forked by some monster miner who has enough power to fork DOGE too.

Doge is clearly on a downward path.  Just too many coins.  Kinda sad given its community.  I still think doge may be a survivor from this round of alt coins, it's held up better and longer than many expected, but I don't see any catalyst for a rally despite ongoing stunts and the reduction of the block reward later this month.

I was on my cell phone.  I wrote 3 comments and removed him.  He has done nothing but fuck up since the start.  You can add him on FB and see for yourself.

https://www.facebook.com/jacksonpalmer

He "doesn't care about the price". In other words he knows it is a turd.... Frustrates the fuck out of me because I was a DOGE supporter at the start.

Then once they released the fact that there was no cap Billy said Jackson described telling people the truth like "ripping off a Band-Aid"....
grrrr  


I don't understand why you would bash the foundation of your coin.  I told him he should stick to marketing Pump n Dumps rather than economics or investing advise. (this is not word for word... hopefully someone can post a screen shot here.)

Edit:

My post may have removed off his page when I removed him as a friend. Not sure how that works because I can't see what I wrote on his wall in my history.

Hey Jackson, things are going well!  I've taken a look at the wallet above and I do not believe that is doge-dice. I will do a little more block crawling and see if I can locate the owner for you.  Fucking things a monster hu?! Have you ever heard of "merge mining"?
____

Jackson doesn't feel any responsibility to the coin holders and doesn't give a fuck about the price.  Probably not the best dev to buy into. When I bought DOGE I spoke to Billy mostly, but Jackson has taken over for the most part. Billy was wonderful to deal with. Jackson is a bit of a "redditor".

There is a person with enough scrypt power right now to fuck DOGE all to hell like they did AUR.  I've just come to terms that 99% of redditors are fucktards. (no offense)

k sock puppet.  

People are using Bitcoin too and always have. I don't know what rock you've been living under for the past few years.  Look at the price of Bitcoin today. It is down because people are "using them".  The market doesn't just magically move up and down idiot.

DOGE did well at first because it was Bitcoin friendly and trying to bring people into digital currency.  Jacksons wet dream is for the government to regulate his shit... mark my words.

Well I agree that Dogecoin gets used more than other coins, but uhhhh don't jump off a bridge if you look at the chart...... yikes!

I think Dogecoin proves one thing and one thing only, what gives crypto coins ANY real dollar value is cold-blooded, greedy ass, speculation. Plain and simple.

Um... no.  BTC had plenty of actual uses..

Here is how it worked for you reddit fags.

1.  Buy BTC.
2.  Buy cheap drugs.
3.  Sell the drugs for 3x profit or more.
4.  Buy more BTC to re-up.

The best part of this was that the same people you were buying the BTC from were the drug dealers selling them back to you! (obviously!)

Fucking beautiful circle jerk. As a investor, I saw the potential and so did a number of other investors obviously.

People lost the Silk Road on OCT 2 and lost a trusted place to spend their coins, so they held.  Now we are getting more and more places to spend BTC which is cool.

Nothing like DOGE.

Ok BitJohn but i want it called in bold letters at the top of the scroll window.. "Spoetnik Box" LOL
and you can even put in a chat-user context menu that has a menu item that says specifically "Ignore Spoetnik"
and mods can have their own dedicated "BAN Spoetnik" buttons too hahaa
or maybe a module for chat that can auto-translate into a readable form one of my infamous poorly spelled horrible grammar Spoetnik Rants™ ?

offtopic:
most people don't realize i use color mods on my browser and all over my OS (everything is black) and with sometimes colors that don't have a good contrast and small font sizes
combined with my poor hunt and peck keyboard skills and.. the fact i sit in a lazy boy recliner while typing at a distance in the dark makes typing pretty damn hard for me LOL

But seriously i don't think we're going to get anywhere we simply have opposite opinions on some of this stuff.. fair enough lol

I have often been conflicted on my opinions and have had to evolve how i perceive the scene and what i will or won't do..
It's a thing that is fluid to me and i take it all one day at a time and all i ever usaually aim to highlight is the worst case examples in crypto
which a lot of people refuse to admit they even exist.. scam coin devs do EXIST what do we consider one ? i guess that depends on who you ask
and maybe my opinion will change too ? i hope and try to understand what other people's views are even it never seems like it.. i do hear people and listen.

lastly, i will ask again later if Cryptsy has done any work about adding the chatbox back (like i asked Vern for a check all button at Cryptsy's coin options page lol)
BUT.. i already know what the response will be when i ask ;)

Vern's workin' on it™

Because you are talking to a USD bagholder that's why.

All USD bagholders only love BTC because it's so centralized that it's basically a representative of a big bag if USD lol .

And anything that isn't that big bag of USD is worthless of course,I mean, everyone knows that right?

I don't think Doge had any appeal the mainstream.  Even the name itself was initially confusing as I mistook it for some kind of Italian or Venetian coin.  Throw on the jokes and the Bitclone and it was a miracle it even went so far.

Having said that everyone should respect the original creators of the protocol, which was designed more than likely in its modern state by the various contributors in the NSA white paper.

Proof the NSA was looking after it's nation.

Unfortunately BTC was flawed and needs a hard fork . Which the political environment of which will probably come about when we are all talking about SDRs.

Then the USD bagholders will likely be SDR bagholders ha ha.

At the end of the day, Dogecoin brought me and thousands of other new users to this website and to cryptocurrency.

It doesn't matter if it's a stupid coin.

Awareness is good for adoption which is good for all of Cryptocurrency.

Whether you used it, hated it, profited, burned your house down for it.....the coin has done a lot for all of cryptocurrency and you can't argue that.

The problem with doge is it was started as a joke so there wasn't really much thought given to economic principles. The distribution model and cap and random block rewards (which were not "Random" and led to massive abuse) have done a lot of damage to the coin's value.

What is really scary is how many new coins are still coming out that use 100 billion as their market cap. Uhhhh do we ever learn anything? News flash: 100 billion friggin coins is too much. Don't make more coins with such large caps.

Don't really care what Dogecoin decides to do but if they don't merge they're screwed.

Dogecoin - the greatest pump and dump in the history of crypto.
I still feel that distinction belongs to Bitcoin.  :D
read my post on page 2 num nuts :)
It's even less impressive the second time around.   ::)

I guess you don't get it. I would tell you to sell your Btc, but you probably don't even have .01 to sell anyways :)

Their community is dying too - check their subreddit. It's active, not like before, but they just bicker now and tip 1/2 cent

Litecoin founder suggests Dogecoin makes a code change and support "merged" mining with Litecoin. This would allow miners to simultaneously mine Litecoin and Dogecoin. The idea is that the more miners you have the more secure and stable your coin is.

Dogecoin merge mining with Litecoin is probably a good idea. I think Dogecoin is at a very real turning point right now, like a company the developers need to get strategic or watch their coin become worthless over the next three months.

I say merge just to keep miners interest for as long as possible and hope to buy time to keep this coin alive.

That might not be a bad idea. Many multipools seem to alternate between mining litecoin and dogecoin a large chunk of the time anyways.

Doge is starting to creep under the 100 satoshi mark, which is really really bad. I think if it stays under 100 for much longer it will start to freefall until it's virtually worthless.

Here is the poll on the issue I asked Charlie Lee over Twitter if it was going ahead he said it's up to the Doge camp so obviously he is still keen I guess it makes sense.


Keep it bumped.

It's more important an issue than forking LTC for ASICs.
