Exactly. Doge started as a joke and as every joke/meme it had huge support from the community, people like fun stuff.
After the initial euphoria passed people still think it is fun to own DOGE and tip each other, but his coin has no future.
Infinite supply killed it IMO.

I dulls the mind only for a brief time, as for the negative thought and emotions it is arbitrary.
People behave differently after use of alcohol, it is true that some can exhibit aggressive or negative behavior but that is not a norm.
As for the waste of money - a I guess expensive, luxury food or entertainment is a waste of money for you as well.

Predicting future price of bitcoin was always speculation and nothing more, even facts or news won't guarantee you that we reach certain price level.

I like the term "educated guessing" a bit more.

And that is what will most likely happen. See here: Russia's Finance Ministry Cryptocurrencies may be recognized in 2018 -

I talked to my friends many times, some of them were more willing to listen about Bitcoin than others.
Conversation usually goes like this: I told them that Bitcoin is probably the best investment of our generation. In the end they all always ask me:
"Can you guarantee me that if I buy Bitcoin now it will be worth more tomorrow/next year".
When I reply that no one can 'guarantee' something like that, because bitcoin is not backed by central bank, my friends usually lose interest.

Also, it is still to complicated to buy BTC, to use standard exchange you need to be verified, it is troublesome, considered bad reputation bitcoin exchanges have.

Fiat money and cryptocurrency are not the same. Infinite amount of tokens of Dogecreated and quantitative easing are basically the same thing, and it is not good idea for crypto.

Litecoin was overshadowed by Bitcoin and it will be in the future too. Once Bitcoin will accept SegWit. I expect it to happen when people realize how good SegWit for LTC was.

Then the situation will be the same as before, traders and community will forget about LTC.

No it won't.

They only viable way for ETH to catch up with bitcoin would be situation where bitcoin development would be halted, scaling issues never addressed.
In short: if current idiocy of supporting Bitcoin Unlimited will continue for years then ETH will have chance.
But in the moment we will have SegWit and Lightning Network operational, BTC will be complete.

Price increased only because Japan accepted BTC as legal tender. BTC hype in Japan has its limits.
We are not ready for growing adoption without proper scaling solution, without SegWit activated Bitcoin will be looked down by everyone.
If you want bigger money and quicker invest in alts. Bitcoin is investment only if can wait years for it to bloom.

Ethereum is still more riskier that BTC. It is arguable that ETH's price is that low, considered that value of ETH was around $13 in March and now it is $100.
You base your assumption on hope that ETH will follow bitcoin path and grow to +$1000 and more while bitcoin will be only $5000 - this it is hard to predict.

My stance is: ETH should be your short trading position and Bitcoin long.

PoS discussion apart. Guys, it seems ETH has reached another new ATH (oh so many lately) and it is not the end for price gains.
I wonder if that enormous pump linked to bolstered altcoin market confidence (all top altcoins gaining!) is reflected on vDice platform?
It should be the best time to gamble, use lower amount of ETH, collect big wins, right?

Bitcoin can be upgraded. I expect that we will reach scaling consensus when there will an absolute need for it.
If we talk about global economic network which is already established a better tech is not enough to kill BTC.
Another property of Bitcoin is IMO great initial distribution, all coins created after BTC were made to follow bitcoin price path.

Define 'being popular'. Marketcap and token price or trading volume are obviously not the best indicators of popularity.
I would rather say that popular coins are projects which are known to wider group of people.
Popular Coin has media attention, we can read news about it in popular mainstream services.

Pump is now over Ark token dropped from $1.33 to $0.274206 Don't be lured by every pump which is going on right now.

It is easy to forget that most altcoins are still nothing more but pump and dump schemes and will never become anything more than that.   

Maybe it is time we should use Japanese yen to determine 'correct' Bitcoin's price? After all yens are top volume currency of bitcoin trading ATM.
Current Bitcoin's price in Yen = 171,700

Unless some new BTC regulations and laws will be introduced, ETF won't be introduced in our present legal framework. It will denied over and over again.

Altcoin market is crazy right now, basically every major coin is being pumped. That never happened before. It was alwys either BTC or altcoins, never both.
There is a possibility of reverse trend at some point: traders will sell BTC to purchase LTC or other altcoin because overwhelming good altcoin news.
ETF will be declined over and over again, nothing will change and only miracle will cause BTC to update its protocol.

Don't create a new coin, don't start an ICO. Definitely not with the current plan you have. Agriculture and cryptocurrency won't mix.  
Definitely not when you only have rather vague idea what your plan is. Coins backed by real life assets had rough history.
Also I would avoid using term 'guaranteed' I've seen many coins which guaranteed something, usually it is a Repurchase Agreement.
They failed.

I have never seen something like that. I monitor coinmarketcap.com and it it insane what is going on.
In top 50 coins there is only like 4 coins which registered a loss during last 24 hours.
ETH will soon reach $100, Litecoin is on its way to $30. Global fiat economic crisis is coming?

These horror stories are usually told by newbies, or users completely unaware of how bitcoin transaction works.
They use old version of wallet or manually decrease fee to the lowest possible amount and as result we have massive number of underpaid transactions.
I am not saying that current high fees are OK, they certainly aren't but with proper fee your transaction will be confirmed very fast.

Litecoin was in dormant state for years. Remember guys, all this recent restoration happened because of SegWit hype.
We have only 4282 blocks left until SegWit will be finally active. I can't wait to see how high price will be in a week.

PS. Imagine what will happen to price of BTC if miners would ever want to activate it for bitcoin? Mind blown...

Well, does it matter how many exchanges are in Japan? As long as there are reputable and secure exchanges available I would be glad.
I know that Japanese version of BitLicense is kinda harsh, so at this point it is safe to assume that every new/existing Japanese exchange will be similar to Gemini.

Interesting fact: Recently more than 50% of trading has taken place in Japanese yen, and only 28% in USD.

Really? Do you want to use escrow for 10k satoshi deal and job so simple like liking something on Facebook? Be reasonable.
If you are not interested in this offer or scared that you wont receive your just $0.14 then move along.
