Why Doge coin is bad

[nakaone]

I was on r/dogecoin - it is nothing but impressive. these guys share a common belief of generosity and probably even of humanity. I am pretty sure this project is here to stay.

Back in 2011 I worked on a scientific paper on memes, even though they are normally short living, doge and dogecoin are now even more than a meme. When you visit the channel they are more like a cultural movement formed around fun and genoristy. It is probably even more a community with common beliefs than the bitcoiners.

Disclaimer: I hold, compared to my overall cryptos, a very tiny amount of doge.

Doge has reinvested doge in marketing and charity ... I don't know about others alts.. pump-dump ? what they do ?

they're memes because it's hard to kill then ... not exactly the internet meme ... but memes in general ...

Starting with the simple tale of an ant, philosopher Dan Dennett unleashes a devastating salvo of ideas, making a powerful case for the existence of memes — concepts that are literally alive.

This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.

its a clone coin with a dog meme attached to it, advertised by bag holders all over..  fact.
if that doesn't tell ya all you need to know something is wrong with you guys..

You can pretty much say that about any alt coin, what's your point?

[samuelseidel]

Why Yes, why not?
I was mining dogecoin and I earn a lot's of BTC

There are many kids in the cryptoworld and unfortnately, it's something a business can't ignore.
The music industry makes much money with Justin Bieber and the cryptocoin industry makes muck money with doge and probably kids who support doge, aslo support Justin Bieber 

[Lauda]

There is a difference between supporting and mining the coin.

The coin is based on a meme, it can't attract intelligent professionals to it.

Don't take this to be anything personal.. But this coming from someone who runs a casino? What "intelligent professional" plays games with his money- Games that are rigged for him to lose a majority of the time? You profit off the unintelligent every day. You see- People don't need to be geniuses to make, and have money. Maybe we have a different understanding of "intelligent" and what role that plays in an economy. (Again, nothing personal, just making an observation, and perhaps a bit of commentary on the ridiculousness of the above quote).

If it attracts the 18-35 crowd- The "intelligent professionals" will quickly take notice. Hell, if it attracts people at first, and converts them all to BTC, and Doge dies.. just as well, right? Unless they are stupid (as in, pay literally zero attention to the risks, and bet more than they can), they've lost very little, and have a better understanding of what they are doing before making large BTC transactions

I just don't get why there's an argument happening at all. Doge has brought thousands of people to crypto, and will continue to. BTC owners should absolutely be thrilled about Dogecoin. Obviously, Doge could never be considered a "threat" to Bitcoin. They aren't after the same market. If you "invest" in Dogecoin- You're probably pretty stupid. It's not designed to inflate. It's designed to be spent- investing a significant amount of money hoping for inflation is silly. Doge will be lucky to ever hit a penny. Bitcoiners should praise Doge as an awesome, inexpensive way to get your feet wet in the digital currency world, and hope that those Dogecoiners eventually "graduate", if you will, and buy some Bitcoin.

If you are too "professional", or too "mature" to have a little fun on the internet (or in life, for that matter), while still pursuing your end goal.. Well, I feel bad for you.

edit: Things like Dark Wallet may bring those "intelligent professionals" to Bitcoin, et al. Darkmarkets,  Drugs, weapons, murder for hire- Now that's an image booster! The exact things that have sown such public mistrust, and skepticism to Bitcoin are now being promoted, and touted as victories. We're begging governments to view Bitcoin, and all digital currency as nothing more than drugs and money laundering.

I got involved in crypto due to dogecoin just 4 months ago after I read an article about it. I think is a good first coin, it is very cheap, quite fast and the community is helpful and friendly, was my first wallet.

Even if it is not meant to be a serious currency it serves quite well the purpose of spreading the word about crypto to outsiders, at least that is my experience.

I am a professional and I make more than 100k/year maybe there is an inverse correlation between intelligence and money, but I prefer to be dumb with a good quality of life than a broke smart ass  .

Edit: bitcoin not a clone as pointed out below, and doesn't have a meme :p.

Not a very good fix, since Bitcoin was the first, therefore not a clone.

True, my bad, fixed the post accordingly.

so what.. my points are bullet proof !

attracting irritating little brats to come into crypto and get involved with Doge so they can then run around the globe
on Non crypto sites acting like scammy idiots does not help Crypto sorry.. no matter how badly you guys want to twist reality.. is what it is is period.

want me to pick a half dozen non crypto sites and then go copy and past some vulgar and ridiculous examples ? there is many..
morons acting like idiots pushing a clone coin when there was already hundreds made and many often better
and their reactions of pure disgust in Bitcoin itself never mind the reaction to Doge itself..

People have ALWAYS stated publicly they thought Bitcoin was a Ponzi scheme.. Doge does not help this myth in any way !
Doge is a cancer on crypto and it's a useless CLONE coin that provides nothing tangible but a so called community that is more destructive than anything.
Doge does not help fight of this misconception about Bitcoin.. it makes it look worse and makes us ALL look like scammy assholes !

Doge is a pile of shit joke and i can't see how any normal rational logical thinking person could deny my assertions i have repeated endlessly.
bottom line is we have here shape shifting / name changing bag holders desperate to pump up popularity for any coin they hold.. spouting bag holders verbal diarrhea !

i critique coins fairly EVEN if i own them and i lose money ragging on them.. i have shot myself in the foot lots doing it ..but i sleep well at night
knowing i am not a manipulative delusional morally bankrupt sleazy bag holder desperate to sucker in fresh blood to a pyramid scheme,
and THAT is all these endless scrypt clones are.. they are the same damb thing copied and pasted with yet another gimmick attached..
and spare me the dunmb excuses for them.. there is not legit reason to keep making them and don't tell me your scrypt clone is better than another scrypt clone lol
Doge is no better than the half dozen color coin clones and actually all of those are more innovative and useful that Doge is.. or ever will be !

Doge coin.. a scrypt algo clone coin pyramid scheme wrapped in a doge meme Period.

and we don't need it.. check when it was posted.. we already had plenty of scrypt clones that came out before hand
and many had serious dev teams who worked hard and Doge under cuts all their hard work and all the support coders and supporters gave
so a scam coin could be pumped for greedy reasons.. there was no reason to make Doge coin, it served no useful purpose at all !
And when you screw over and then ignore the legit devs doing honest hard work coding to pump up a masked anon copy and paste cloner then your not helping Crypto.
All the fucking Nascar ad's won't change that.. reality is what it is .

--> ?
Why didn't you guys use Prime coin or Grid coin to get new users etc ? hmmmmm ?
oh wait i know...... you didn't show up at the right time to FLASH MINE those   ....ahhh i see now
--> $

All you Doge fanboys show your true colors regularly.. you care about one thing and that is MONEY.

If i was an investor in the stock market i would choose a stock that i believe in and that had something to offer.
I would NOT buy Microsoft's stock because of their "community" only lol
So saying the Doge coin community is THE big main attraction is a joke ! ..it's pure speculator and bag holder propaganda pushing a USELESS coin bs.
It was started as a joke so how can i take it seriously ? and why should i ?
When all you guys care about nothing but how much money you make on it then it tells me all i need to know really.

Most of you admit regularly (the so called community) that you say it's a shitty scam coin but you got involved for the money..
and those people, your big "community", don't give shit about the coin at all and will dump on people and walk any time.
because they invested to pump and dump and make money period.

I am sick and tired of you guys bullshitting people to sucker them in to clone coin pyramid schemes.
It is is what it is.. come to terms with it

and no, i have NO respect for people who hear about Doge then came here and did their research then decided YES i want too get involved with it.
the writing was on the wall and the facts were laid out for all to see, so if you got involved you knew better and should be ashamed of yourselves.
And i said that when Doge was released on the ANN topic too !

You people are hypocrits when you whine about scrypt clones.. but, but, but.. Doge coin is different.. uhhh .....no it's not, don't be dumb  

I can respect guys who got involved to make money on it and that did not run around the net on non crypto sites saying it's the "Bitcoin killer".
The other guys i think are misleading or out right lying and spamming the general public for their own financial gain.
cut the crap Cheerleaders and million dollar bag holders

I don't know anyone who wants to kill Bitcoin.

WTF?

I do not own many dogecoins, I have around 10 in my wallet that I cpu mined myself that is something impossible with bitcoin, I never posted about it on any site, this was my first post about the subject sharing my experience with doge, I never said that it was a good long term investment or that it will kill bitcoin.

I didn't know about the other dozen of better coins before coming here, Doge guys were friendly, they answer stupid questions about how to set up properly a mining rig and how things work, and a quick google search using the doge keywords usually have the best tutorials, while some bitcoin guys act like snobs to all of us that come from the outside.

The other day I went to a bitcoin meetup and paid my beers with bitcoins, was quite good experience that I would have missed if it is not for the doge guys running around acting like "idiots" and posting everywhere, the fact that you think that doge is a scam doesn't change the fact that I am now involved with bitcoin thanks to it, and I was able to test the technology with a lot less investment required otherwise.

Now I don't think that bitcoin or doge are scams, but I am failing to understand your point abut how is doge a scam and bitcoin is not, to me if one is a scam the other probably is too, can you clarify that point for a dumb person like me?

Cheers!.
