No, Doge coin is a joke, literally. It was made as a joke... Bitcoin was not... so when people say Doge coin is a joke, take it literally.
Tell me what exactly Doge coin brings to the innovate alt coin world other than making fun of how some Chinese translate English?
It brings many doge, much lel.
I believe in Dogecoin for one simple reason: Popularity always trumps all. Just look at the Xbox360. Complete trash compared to PS3, but thanks to massive Microsoft popularity, it succeeded with lower hardware quality.
