Dogecoin founder quits cryptocurrency industry

[Q7]

This somehow comes as a surprise when I read the news. Imagine how the community will interpret or react to this message because having JP leaving is like saying there is not going to be any new development put into the coins. Seriously after the introduction of merge mining and having the reward per block capped at 10,000 coins after the 600,000th block, I really don't see the coin going to be any better. Bitcoin price has been sliding but doge scenario is even worst.

Thank goodness we still have Elephantcoin. What will we do without animal inspired coins?

Hopefully he's gone for good.

This is a huge silver-lining in this overall crypto price-slump: people and companies with bad ideas/projects can no longer survive and will go away. People are *finally* realizing (the hard way) that nearly all alts will go to zero.

He posted a video message on why he left.  Started a thread about it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1037469.0

Hmm, Dogecoin was actually planned as a pure joke coin before they realized it will really succeed. So, in my opinion he was never really interested in bringing something substantial into crypto world except a meme coin. It's not a big loss.

And then the Doge community decided to take the coin and themselves seriously.

Holy shit that squirrel's carrying a nut the size of its head

This man did HUGE damage to crypto, the shitstorm happened only after doge

Definitely an argument to be made there. At the same time Doge gave good exposure to the altcoin space so I have mixed feelings.

yeah and I as I have said to you countless times it attracted the worst possible people to this stuff and that made things yet even worse.

your argument is weak.. VERY weak.
