Title: Even as the Founder of AppleByte, I admit this little toy Doge car is way cool!

Congrats to my friends at Doge, this is just cool, and will introduce more of the public to cryptos!

Come on all you cynics, you have to give them credit, Doge gets a high five for this!

how much are they paying you for all this ? (those two famous guys)
and what other coins are you behind before ?

somebody should be asking..

i think you should be on the record with what coins you made or helped make and then list them.

who thinks this is the OP's first and only coin ?
and who thinks that question is not extremely valuable info for investors ?

ball is in your court..

Just NEAT!

98 Satoshis actually is a high notation for Doge, but the car idea is just neat. Really, coins are in need of representation. Not gambling/hookers/ripoff-investment stuff. Representation as in "we do exist"

I seldom answer fud, unless I think it raises a legitimate question. This comment is a fair question.


First as to why, as founder of Applebyte, I would make this positive post about Doge.

I was certainly not paid, Doge doesn't need me. But I respect their community immensely. AppleByte is not in competition with Doge, we serve two different niches. I have even ridiculed the car sponsorship in more than one post here, compared AppleByte to Doge, and had fun with our recent race to 200 Sat, etc. In every case the Doge community has been respectful and spread no fud. I respect them for that.

But this toy car is a brilliant marketing strategy. It will build brand loyalty for them, and help all cryptos by bringing new users into the industry. They deserve praise for this.

Second, for the record, here is my full crypto background:

I have only been involved in developing one coin, AppleByte. A simple search of my posts will show that.
And as most of us who discovered Bitcoin before the mass release of altcoins, I initially traded Bitcoin, Litecoin & Peercoin. Later I traded Doge, NXT & Dark.
The only coins I hold longterm are AppleByte & Bitcoin. And of course I mine AppleByte; I would never follow any Dev who doesn't invest in his own coin.
