>>> DOGE team is no longer active
This. No/little development hurts the price. Bagholders should motivate someone to increase the value of their investment.
Says the person pumping a scam ICO in his signature . Did you know Bill Heilmann doesn't even exist? That's probably name of a deceased person with a photo from modeling agency.
You should not comment on a coin that is well established and running
Are you serious? Many people have some ICO in the signature, if you have a problem with that you must be very upset at Bitcointalk
Do not know BH, feel free to pass me a link so I can read more on your theory.
I own a few hundred thousands worth of DOGE and I keep holding most of it for the last four years. Unlike my other coins it did not really appreciate and do you know why? Because there has been very little development.
Merge-mining with LTC was a great achievement but I am desperately missing further accomplishment. Yes, of course it is running but the market is moving faster than this coin.
BH is one of the so called team in the vice coin you are promoting in your signature. The team (I bet all but maybe two) are fake people with fake images and fake names. Just like almost all ICOs with team member images cropped in circle form coming from ICO factories in Russia and China. Stop pumping ICO scams. Your friends and family won't trust you ever again.
Now back to DOGE. It has achieved anything a crypto currency has achieve:
Massive widespread adoption. Most exchanges use it as their main currency to trade against like BTC and LTC.
Secure network not hacked in 5 years (ETH cannot claim that
Fast transactions (only few coins such as BTCZ can claim that).
Cheap transactions.
Crazy cult like followers. Just check Reddit. They are nuts.
Proper denomination to be used as currency. A coffee could cost 1.50 DOGE not 0.0000000000000150 BTC.
Most used currency for value transfer between exchanges.
Easiest coin to store away with so many wallets available.
The VICE rant is what I expected. No links, just general allegations anyone can make about anything and some emotional stuff. No facts = no interest.
I am not saying it is perfectly legit but I have no facts proving otherwise.
Anyway, let's talk about Doge because this is Doge thread:
Massive widespread adoption. Most exchanges use it as their main currency to trade against like BTC and LTC.
>>> Which bigger merchant natively accepts Doge? Also, the largets exchanges do not eve offer Doge as a trading pair.
I am talking about Bitfinex, Coinbase, Bitstamp or Korean exchanges. Yes, Kraken has it with extremely low volume and
bittrex/poloniex have it but trade volume is in millions of USD, not billions.
Secure network not hacked in 5 years (ETH cannot claim that) - Few coins were hacked. The long history of Doge is obviously a plus.
Fast transactions (only few coins such as BTCZ can claim that). - True.
Cheap transactions. - True
Crazy cult like followers. Just check Reddit. They are nuts. -
>>> True but they are not so crazy about putting their funds in. Also, when I ask if I get my transaction regularly into the
next block when paying 0.1 Doge no one is able to respond. Very few of Doge fans are actually technical.
Proper denomination to be used as currency. A coffee could cost 1.50 DOGE not 0.0000000000000150 BTC.
>>> COULD but does not until adoption happens. I bought a beer or coffee at a lot of places with BTC, occasionally with LTC.
None with DOGE. Shapeshift does not count.
Most used currency for value transfer between exchanges.
>>> Show me a proof. Oh, you do not have it, how convenient. Doge is not even in the top 30 most traded currencies by volume. It *could* be used
as such but it is not. Stop making claims that are completely false.
Easiest coin to store away with so many wallets available.
>>> So the higher number of wallets the easiest is to store it? The main wallet I checked looked relatively basic and poor. I can not even store Doge on my Trezor, where
I keep 6 different cryptocurrencies.
Yes, I still like Doge. It has cheap transactions and it is a relatively stable coin due to merge mining you somehow omitted to mention.
But that does not mean I am crazy nut follower - I still want to see development and there was not so much of it in the last few years.
