Besides the amount of rekt, scams and craziness that the ICO madness got us, there is one little bright light that will keep investors smiling during the hard times
THE MEME COINS.Jesus Coin, FitVitalik and others are just too funny to ignore and on top of that, some of them collected a lot of money and are around to this day, not like so-called "Bitcoin killers" that failed already
Check out the article if you are interestedI'm not interested in reading offsite articles, if its not written right here, i just won't read it. If you are bothered to put a link to it, you could have also copy pasted it, or at least write a summary of it.
It is true that Dogecoin is the meme coin. Dogecoin is simply Litecoin (before segwit) modified for infinite production, it is absolutely unprofitable to mine, and yet it lives (somehow). As a running experiment its quite interesting. Of course it loses value like fiat. I guess what little merge mining its getting from others keeps it alive, well that and the reminder of miners that do it for fun and don't care about profits.
Since its just Litecoin you could say its quite close to bitcoin. Of course it uses the scrypt algo just like Litecoin does.
Too bad Dogecoin's happy face was tainted by the dark scamming scandal of a certain individual that took money from investors for an alleged ATM business that never was. Of course that's not the coin's fault.
