BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Anyone DOGEing? I started in at .02, and went up to .08 the same day haha, before dumping back down... now on a steady clip back through .08. Feels sustainable this time with all the press. I get the lack of declared cap makes it different than bitcoin, and I'm sure it will only value out at a low % of btc, but so far I just can not complain.

I looked into it last year on Coinbase (which doesn't support it) and read in the description that it was created as a joke, so I stayed away. Earlier this year my son said he bought some and I said to him "you realize it was created as a joke, right?" He replied "yeah, but dad, if young people like me start to adopt it, it can become like another Bitcoin." I couldn't argue with that logic and bought a ton at .0084. I saw that Elon Musk tweeted about it being the people's coin several days ago, heard that Gene Simmons bought a ton over this past weekend and there was supposed to be a commercial for it during the SB. 4 hours ago, TBBills said: The only thing about these is they are being manipulated by tweets... Scary thing. The bump yesterday was apparently because Tesla invested in and soon will be accepting Bitcoin. That could be a game-changer for it.

It was started as a joke, literally. It has no use case. No one it accepts it as payment and it has never been considered a store of value. Like all crypto currencies it is subject to pump and dumps on unregulated markets. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it all comes back to Doc's son... (mostly) figuratively. Does the upcoming generation believe in this as a future form of currency, and with its cheap initial price, does the potential of that belief raise the 'coin' to self-fulfilling prophecy status? The dollar is backed by faith in the US gov't- can this be backed by faith in something different- maybe a belief in an agreeable, global, easily bartered online currency... In an odd way, it's not too much of a stretch to see a future currency which will be more stable than the dollar. I don't really care if the logo is cat's hairball or a 7-legged spider, btw.

Clearly, you are not too familiar with the volatility of even the most stable crypto currencies. Why would DOGE ever get the nod over BTC, BCH, LTC, XRP or any of the dozens of others that were designed to be actual forms of currency as opposed to say a joke?

Beyond a doubt I am not familiar with this form of enchilada- that's why my first sentence in this thread was a question. I have no idea why it could rise to prominence vs. the others, but main plusses I see on it are affordability per whole coin, saturation of awareness, and the possibility of faith en masse.

You can buy fractions of BTC, BCH, ETH and most other ones. Few people are buying whole Bitcoin at $45k a pop. You can buy in whatever increment is worth it to you assuming it covers transaction fees which are increasingly steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know squat about this. Full disclosure....nothing. I was surprised to hear that my wife’s employer (a YUGE financial institution) is investing in and building around this stuff. When you are handling estates worth hundreds of millions, and cryptocurrency is a significant holding, you’d better get up to speed. You have no other choice! I admit I never took it too seriously, but what the heck do I know? . Edited March 23, 2021 by Augie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At its peak value it might reach a dollar or 1.50 Intrinsically it has no value, and there's an unlimited supply of coins. So I would be happy every 5 cents it runs I had about 12,000 at .0007 Edited March 20, 2021 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People getting in under one cent is in a good position If you dropped $2,000 at 8 cents.. you might go on a nice ride of volatility.. there are only x amount of Bitcoin.. that's why it's so valuable Millions of dogecoin are created everyday creating a constant influx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Bitcoin casinos provide big bonuses to attract more Bitcoin players such as the US player. On the site https://crypto.professorslot.com/casinos/ I found a very interesting overview of supported cryptocurrencies in crypto casinos (more extensive than that of crypto gamblers). One of my clear favorites is Bitstarz Casino, a mobile Bitcoin casino with 24/7 live chat. Edited March 29, 2021 by Knox Bell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
