Dogecoin is Even More Popular than I Thought

[Bitcoins101]

So, the other day, I was at the San Francisco Bitcoin Meetup, which had over 250 people attending. Great, right? Yes, absolutely. However, that's not what stood out - what stood out was the tremendous support there was for Dogecoin.

I've always been a fan of Dogecoin, because I think there exists a great community for it. It's already widely being used online - so much in fact that there are more daily Dogecoin transactions than transactions of Bitcoin and Litecoin put together. Sure, in total USD value it isn't super high, but it's actually being used for micropayments - people are actually using it to tip, buy/sell/trade, etc.

Anyway, at this meetup, there were several speakers. One of the speakers we brought in ran Kraken, a mostly European cryptocurrency exchange which seems to be very promising. There was a question asked regarding adding support for altcoins-

He responded, saying that they were considering it and they have received a decent number of requests to add coins like Peercoin, Namecoin, etc. He then mentioned that they were receiving hundreds of requests per day to add Dogecoin - and I wouldn't quite believe it if I didn't see it, but there were literally two whole sections of people who cheered after he said that. Like 20-30 people in a crowd of bitcoin enthusiasts, all with some uncanny attachment and support for a coin that didn't even exist a month and a half ago.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share these two things that I found quite amazing- that a little monthly bitcoin meetup offering nothing but a place to have a beer and talk could attract 250 people and the fact that out of the 100 people who were actually paying attention to the presenters, literally a third of them were cheering for Dogecoin.

not talking about marketcap.  talking about the pump and dump like ftc.

[kalus]

sure, but what coin isn't being pumped or dumped right now

(lol trc)

even litecoin isn't big enough to avoid manipulation, or a fork.

most people are morons.

Don't expect Doge to be long term, this is what they call a fad. Like fagangam style, twerking.. etc. People will become very rich off of Doge and others will lose all their invested income.

That's the cold hard truth, Doge will not live to see it's first birthday. You heard it here first

dogecoin just passed worldcoin. 

[kalus]

From that crowd of 20-30 people or from the one third of total did you hear from some of them how much they paid for 1 DOGE?

Unfortunately you are the nube moron, the same moron that said BTC will never hit $1, the same moron that said BBQcoin is nothing but a joke, the same moron that said GDC will never top 0.00000005 ever again, etc. etc. etc. You are so moronic that you don't realize that every coin on Cryptsy will easily do 10x from present prices. BTW I don't own any DOGE. I just see DOGE as the lead indicator for the altcoins.

[galbros]

Thanks for this post.  At least this starts to explain why DOGE has run up recently.  I too am impressed with the broad support the coin has gained, things like doge-dice really aid the community and I'm guessing that reddit tipbot makes sure there is lots of activity and you can get doge by participating in the community and mining, all things needed to make the ecosystem grow.

[kalus]
