Will Dogecoin ever be more than a joke?

[suptoshi]

For something that started out as a tongue-in-cheek jab at cryptocurrencies, it's become surprisingly popular.  Do you think Dogecoin will ever become on of the "big" altcoins, or will it fade like so many of the rest?

I think it'll always be a joke and will fade away once mining becomes unprofitable and people get tired of the joke.

possibly, its going to see if catcoin gets hot like doge but i highly doubt it.  just have to do your research as with anything.

Why would catcoin get any attention? What does it have behind it?

Catcoin is already hot despite its disastrous launch

I think that with the community that has sprung up around it along with the volume of coins. Dogecoin has a good chance at becoming a very widely use coin. It solves the problem many people have with wanting to send low amount of bitcoin and not pay more then it is worth in fees. Since alot can be gained cheaply i think people would be more inclined to spend them or gift them thus raising it's useablity. The biggest thing going for it, it is alot more fun to send 10 coins to someone rather than send 0.0000101 of a bitcoin even if both have the same "value".

dogecoin will stay a joke because of the crazy amount of coins. It is a hype and will eventually die off. when? i don't know

[bitfood]

it will always be a joke !!

[abstractednerve]

it will die when the joke gets old.

I think it's mostly hype that is driving it. Easy to obtain. Cheap. Based off a meme so it is more 'fun.' You never know though ..there's a place for everything. Not sure what exactly it offers from a functional standpoint, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have one.

Isstini makes a good point; can't underplay the psychological factors people will find in it.

I imagine it will stick around for quite a while yet.

The joke already got old.

There's already a catcoin.

It really did. But there's a lot of other shitcoins that have absolutely no additional benefits, are without the 'hook' and should have died long ago, yet they're still traded.   For some reason, there has been a huge influx of registered users here for Doge ..they're gonna hold the demand up some. ...or they're sock puppets trying to pump price and it'll crash in a glorious avalanche all at once.

catcoin / kittehcoin are absolute shitcoins... even worse than doge... that last kittehcoin doesnt even have a windows wallet yet...

There's a kittehcoin?  I shed a tear for cryptos.

@OP Not exactly because the really joke is over now everyone should pay attention at 'Catcoin'

[DariusIII]

Its already so much more. But how long will it even be semi-relevant?

[lvtdcns2014]

Maybe it's a joke.

im actually quite surprised at the success its already had.... but if i were to guess it is going to fade away but i could be wrong
