Doge is having outstanding success in Price and utility usage increases. Some believe this is due to the facts Doge has Greater Onchain Transaction Capacity than Bitcoin Transferring the same $100 fiat value in Doge & Bitcoin Doge only ~50 cents Bitcoin costs ~ $23
Blockspeed Doge 1 Minute BTC 10 Minutes
Question is , What will it take for bitcoiners to make blockstream quit limiting bitcoin onchain capacity in favor of blockstream offchain shenanigans such as LN and Liquid?
Or
Should we all just bite the bullet and recognize that bitcoin use as a digital currency is dead, and it only has investment value verses fiat, but too expensive for the normal guy to transact onchain.
FYI: I do believe BTC price will increase forever verses fiat, but I also believe that altcoins such as doge will be the choice for the masses due to the transaction fee differences.
So What do you think?

I can't call it a success. It's going to probably turn into the largest pump and dump in crypto history.
I barely got my Doge on an exchange a while ago. Some exchanges require 250 confirmations. Hell, other exchanges require even 500 to deposit your coins. That's between 250 and 500 minutes.. By the time your tx is confirmed 500 times, price will fluctuate so much it's useless. If this is "success" and "utility", then no thanks.
I hate the fact that Bitcoin has so strict and annoying tx limits. The mempool has been clogged ever since 2020 and that is a very big problem we don't seem to care about. Obviously, as time goes on and people look for ways to invest in crypto, they might prioritize alts over BTC since the average person will not afford spending $20-100 per transaction just in fees.
By the time Bitcoin will improve, I think it might be too late and Bitcoin will remain the preference of the wealthy while the average Joes will move towards cheaper alts (cheap as in fees)

If the world will buy and sell with a coin named after a dog, pumped by a billionaire guy and which has 100 addresses owning > 67% of its supply then this world has serious issues. Dogecoin is nothing more than a joke coin and people fail to admit it. I've been a huge Dogecoin supporter myself but I've never seen it as something greater than BTC because these are 2 different worlds.

I remember just a few years ago, where everyone in finance thought Bitcoin was a joke. Increase in price verses fiat has a way of destroying that thought process. I have no doubt , that Doge will follow that same route as BTC. @20kevin20 You might want to look for some different exchanges to handle doge for you. The ones I use , confirmations are like 10 instead of the hundreds that you are saddled with. PM me if you want the name of a lower confirmation exchange.

Bitcoin as a pioneer cryptocurrency and is not influenced by other coins, but works at its own pace. There are lots going on on the Bitcoin chain, a number of Bitcoin improvement proposals aimed at improving scalability have been implemented, the latest being Taproot. The current state of Bitcoin transactions may not be the most appealing to small and medium investors, but it's constantly being improved upon, for now using startegies at reducing the fees paid on txs is the best option.

I had some doge and did exactly that when Bitcoin dumped a week ago while doge remained at ATH. Doge is fine as a joke coin but it will never be a top market cap coin. OP said that Bitcoin started the same way because finance people thought it was a joke. The difference here is that everybody think doge is a joke, even its supporters and the crypto community. You think people will dump bitcoin and pay with doge just because of transaction time and cost? If this was the most important factor they'd be using BCH not BTC since 2018 and we wouldn't be talking about Doge at all.

Why should Bitcoin care about Doge's bubble? Dogecoin's "success" comes from hype around Elon Musk's tweets, nothing more. It didn't have any updates in the last 3 years, and no one is using it as a currency in real life, and you'd be crazy to do it now because of this insane volatility.
The only succesful coins is actually Bitcoin, because it's being adopted as a store of value by both private individuals and institutions. When will Doge be used as a reserve asset? Or even Ethereum, that promises to flip Bitcoin soon?

I used to see Doge as a funny meme coin, but after Elon Musk got involved, it's nothing but a pump and dump coin. At this point, I honestly wouldn't touch Doge with a ten-foot pole. So no, I don't think that Doge will force or bring any kind of improvement to either BTC or crypto market in general. If anything, it's one step backward.

I have no doubt , that Doge will follow that same route as BTC. This is also true. Watching them talk about finance in their interviews, BTC was once just a joke to them. It becomes serious when the price goes high that they couldn't ignore it anymore. Jaime Dimon of JPmorgan had been trolling BTC before. So yes Doge could really become a serious coin to be adopted by the mass and BTC could just be for the institutions. Its all manipulation still but it still a win for the cryptocurrency.

Yes good healthy stats but the reason behind DOGE's "success" are two fold. 1.] Elon Musk/Tesla 2.] The error of FOMO There is one comparison stat which the OP overlooked, supply Bitcoin Block reward: 10 minutes = 12.5 BTC - supply limited to 21,000,000Dogecoin Block reward: 1 minute = 10,000 DOGE - supply unlimitedThe DOGE craze is fueled by newbies falling into FOMO and is simply unsustainable and will result in a lot of pain, When the bubble bursts the virtual "egg timer" will do a 180degree turn and funds which left Bitcoin for DOGE will pour back.

I don’t think you could call DOGE a success yet, but it’s growing acceptance has been amazing to watch. I was against investing in DOGE, but now it looks like it may be this cycle’s Bitconnect. I was amazed Bitconnect lasted as long as it did and I would have thought DOGE’s peak would be when it hit $0.07. I feel like we’ve now been introduced to the catalyst that will crash this cycle’s bubble and whether we are watchers or participants, it may be wise to consider abandoning the boat with the rats when the time comes. Until then, dance away you wishful bastards.

Dogecoin didn't gain it's value due to its utility nor does it utility come anywhere close to Bitcoin. The volatility makes it unsuitable for anything more than a speculative asset. Utility doesn't mean how fast you get a confirmation and I'll argue that 1min confirmation are less secure than 10 min ones.
Dogecoin's transaction volume isn't anything as compared to Bitcoin. Perhaps if more people begin to use Dogecoin and having to wait for several more confirmation in the meantime or if people stops pumping it, then we can revisit this topic.

Doge is being pumped without purpose and is mainly reliant in the opinions of Elon Musk. So if he some day decided to quit shilling on DOGE and FUD on it, he will single-handedly plummet the price of DOGE and may even force people to lose hope on crypto in the process. That being said, it is very unlikely, but an indication that DOGE won't be enough to force bitcoin to improve unfortunately since it also has its own shortcomings that it has trouble solving by itself.

I doubt that any coins right now, not even Doge or Ethereum, I would say take it or leave it with bitcoin. BTC has been in existence for the last 10 years or so, we have seen a lot of issues, but still being the prime mover, it remains on top even if other altcoins such as Doge has a massive pump, bitcoin is still comfortable and I don't think that it will force the hands of devs to improved it.

gemini added dogecoin recently so it could be one reason that made investors in that platform buying doge.
i don't know what success is if a coin to have a price of more than $0.50 is not a success. whether it's a pump or not, you got to be one of the dumbest billionaire to really give away money that much because you just want to pump a coin. if it's just elon then he is up to bring the dumbest investors to the moon.

FYI: I do believe BTC price will increase forever verses fiat, but I also believe that altcoins such as doge will be the choice for the masses due to the transaction fee differences. take note that it is not forever cause bitcoin has a limited supply. But going back to the dogecoin's good price movement. Yes it is good when it comes to the price performance with lowest fees and fastest transactions. But then let us look with the most important thing to consider. And that is the contribution and the significant use of particular coin in crypto industry. As we all know though it was started as a meme coin and has a potential now, bitcoin still has an important role in blockchain purposes and wouldnt surpass any altcoins out there because of its success use.

I am wondering, what was that DOGE success.. and it came to my senses, DOGE had been very successful in being pumped and dumped. As what the earlier reply stated, DOGE price doesn't increase because of the utility it brings but rather because of the influential people behind it. Please be reminded of what happen way back 2014. Many investors were burn because of DOGE's pump and dump scheme and I think it is happening again right before our eyes.
