And you can actually purchase stuff with it. Cheap translation services, pictures, haikus, you name it.

I purchased 2 nonsensical stories, 1 completely useless and yet awesome doodle and a re-sizing service for a picture.

However the best part in Dogecoin is that it makes certain kind of cryptocurrency evangelists have a twitch in their eye. The amount of "Dogecoin ruins the reputation of serious cryptocurrencies!" posts makes it rather awesome.

The best quote "Dogecoin? Are you kidding me? I'm all for altcoins, but this is just making a mockery of what we're all trying so hard to turn into a respectable enterprise." This quote was actually the one that made me play around with Dogecoin a bit.

I have a hunch that this is part of the reason why dogecoin is somewhat popular. People use dogecoin because they can. And they intentionally ignore any cries on how it's not going to hold value etc. It's not supposed to. It works fine for what it already is. Tipping and nonsensical internet services.



All right, you convinced me to get in on this. This is hilarious.
