High-risk, high-reward: Dogecoin and Bitcoin

[dataispower]

In my opinion it is more probable for Dogecoin to gain $1 billion market cap, than for bitcoin to show the same amount of growth in the same period of time.

For $5000 you could buy around 20 BTC today, and for 20 BTC you could buy around 25 Million doge. If dogecoin market cap goes to $1 billion, then you would have around $250,000. To see the same kind of return from bitcoin, the bitcoin market cap has to get to around $175,000,000,000. The price of one btc will have to be around $12,500.

Ask yourself, which is more probable to happen sooner, for 1 dogecoin to be valued $1 cent, to gain a market cap of $1 billion, or for bitcoin to get to $175,000,000,000 market cap.

Considering that litecoin already got to $1 billion market cap in the past, I don't see any reason why dogecoin wouldn't achieve the same result and more.

Don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.

What's with the dogecoin pumpers lately?  Keep this crap in the alt section.

So do you agree that, it is more probable for Dogecoin to gain $1 billion market cap, than for bitcoin to show the same amount of growth in the same period of time or not?

I think this is an important discussion to have.

This is Bitcoin speculation, we don't give a damn about dogecoin.

B. There is a discussion going on about Litecoin in this section in relation to Bitcoin, why not make the same about Dogecoin?

Yes, a joke with a $20+ million market cap, with more active users than all altcoins combined (including litecoin).

be so kind and educate yourself little bit before posting such non-sense like this..they had strong community, many funded projects, mobile/light wallets, active development. imho they are in better position than litecoin now..

Exactly.

Anyway, I wanted to have a discussion about dogecoin growth potential in comparison to bitcoin.

[Xialla]

Anyway, I wanted to have a discussion about dogecoin growth potential in comparison to bitcoin.

I think, that dogecoin (like any other crypto) heavily depends on bitcoin adoption to public. I think, that dogecoin had space here, anyway it will not happened, if bitcoin will somehow stuck or fail because of anything.

Hopefully Dogecoin and Bitcoin will hit mainstream. I do prefer Dogecoin to tell you the truth.

I also like the idea of tipping via social media, twitch or other channels. What I don't like is, that creator of dogecoin left community, Ben Doernberg also left and there was this scam with moolah.

Ofcourse it is more likely for a coin with a lowish market cap to gain 50x value than for something with a 4 billion marketcap to gain the same 50x value... Not really a very interesting discussion...

[vlad12]

As much as I like dogecoin, I think it has already reached most if not all of it's intended demographic: young crypto enthusiasts hyped by a meme. How much more beyond that can it go? No serious institutional investor would even consider something like this.

All it is is a joke-ish copy of bitcoin... a pretty cool one, but definitely something which will slowly disappear.

[TaunSew]

Ofcourse it is more likely for a coin with a lowish market cap to gain 50x value than for something with a 4 billion marketcap to gain the same 50x value... Not really a very interesting discussion...

I beg to differ.   Doge was always the most publicized alternate, even more publicized than Litecoin, and it failed harder than BTC in the acquisition of new users.  In many ways Doge was also reaching people who had also never heard of Bitcoin either.

 One of my acquittance is the man who is often regarded as creating the first Doge ATM, in the whole world, and he had to shut it down (lack of sales) but meanwhile he has since had probably dozens of successful BTC machines.

Reality is Doge creates a lot of noise, has a lot of 'tards and kids following it on Reddit, it got its' 5 minutes of fame in the media (Olympics, Nascar, a lot of coverage on TV news) and a lot of publicity but when it came to the mass public it performed worse than BTC in attracting users.   If people are skeptical about BTC, when they had learned about Doge they literally saw it as some Pokemon / Cabbage Patch kid thing and were less interested in that.  

Doge, admittedly, could had been more successful if they had followed up and made cartoons or products for it aimed at preteens with parent's credit cards but decentralized communities are chaotic and many of the Doge early adopters were more interested in cashing out than working on the capitalization (see the infamous god PDF)

IMHO - if any alternate had as much publicity as Doge did, heck even LTC, they would be giving BTC a run for their money.

If that was the basis for success then Monero would already be a $Trillion in capitalization, the monerorons are spamming this forum like everyday.  

"Fact is" is the only coins that ever had real world publicity was Bitcoin and Dogecoin and both sucked, Bitcoin 100,000 users over 6 years (according to FRB) and Doge couldn't even keep ATMs running (despite it having a monopoly on being the "only other alternate that people on mainstreet knew about").

[futureofbitcoin]

Dataispower, I actually have an altcoin I just made right now, and it's marketcap is currently at about $0.00001 US Dollars.

Do you agree that my coin has a higher chance of increasing its price by 1 million-fold than dogecoin does?

It's not even a competition! my coin is clearly MUCH better than dogecoin! You should put all your money in my coin! Don't miss out on such a great opportunity!

No analysis, just opinion.  Far too many people talk about just 1c meaning that a coins is worth x billion, just one problem, it isn't and won't be worth 1c!
Markets don't look and think, ahh Doge could easily be 1c, lets just pump it to 50x its actual value to meet this stupid idea!

You could make more with Doge, or lose it all.  Bitcoin is much safer.

High-risk, high-reward.

I base the probability of dogecoin reaching $1 billion on the popularity of it, and the past performance of litecoin. I'm not an expert, and this is an opinion, which I've said. Your reply however does not contain any reference to anything.

Read the post before saying things like: "Markets don't look and think, ahh Doge could easily be 1c, lets just pump it to 50x its actual value to meet this stupid idea!".

[dataispower]

I don't think Doge will reach that amount of market cap
because Doge keep inflating and price will drop because of that

Currency supply:

Dogecoin and bitcoin estimated inflation rate for the next 10 years.

2015: Bitcoin: 10.00% | Dogecoin: 5.20%
2016: Bitcoin: 9.09%   | Dogecoin: 4.94%
2017: Bitcoin: 4.17%   | Dogecoin: 4.71%
2018: Bitcoin: 4.00%   | Dogecoin: 4.50%
2019: Bitcoin: 3.85%   | Dogecoin: 4.30%
2020: Bitcoin: 3.70%   | Dogecoin: 4.13%
2021: Bitcoin: 1.79%   | Dogecoin: 3.96%
2022: Bitcoin: 1.75%   | Dogecoin: 3.81%
2023: Bitcoin: 1.72%   | Dogecoin: 3.67%
2024: Bitcoin: 1.69%   | Dogecoin: 3.54%

“The goal for the currency is to keep approximately 100 billion coins in circulation - thus after 100 billion Dogecoins are created, rewards will continue at 10k each block. This will help maintain mining and stabilize the number of coins in circulation (considering lost wallets and various other ways coins may be destroyed) at 100 billion.”

u dont understand branding, people accept much easier a mild little blue bird than an animated stupid dog, thats why it is a meme dude. you cant change a meme in something serious, its a joke. and most importantly twitter has a real world usecase, doge doesnt offer anything innovative or something with a real world purpose that bitcoin couldn't offer, its a shit copy of ltc/btc.

The doge is #2.. forget this silly Market cap bs.

I think it is an important discussion to have.

I think so as well.  Most people that have heard of bitcoin have heard of dogecoin and not litecoin.

Doge's minimum payout allows for very small sending fees thus making it more of a spending currency IMO while bitcoin is like gold a holding currency.

Right it has had way more publicity and exposure to the real world than the next 300 alternates put together and yet where is Doge today?  I feel like if any other alternate had Doge's reach than they would be #2 and probably $500+ million capitalization (and not from premine fake capitalization).

$20,000 USD for 1 BTC is going to happen within 6 years!


There's no need to go all in on any one coin. By your same argument, you shouldn't be buying DOGE coin either. It's possible that some low marketcap coins right now like THC or DOPE will go from a $5,000 marketcap to a $5,000,000,000 marketcap. Turning your $5,000 into $5,000,000,000.


If you have $5,000 to invest, it would probably be best to invest in some sort of person or company who manages your funds for you. This way you sit back and relax while they research coins and buy into them for you.

I wouldn't put more than 10% of my total investment funds into any one coin.

With so many amazing cryptocoins, many of them only get like 1% of my total investment funds.
