DOGE

Ohnoskies

This is why crypto will die painfully. We had a golden ticket to print money and get control from the feds only to have mfers complain about fraud as if the ENTIRE financial reserve and tax systems weren't already fraudulent. Take the money printer, learn the game. Don't make bad memecoins. SHIB, WIF, DOGE, BONK. Been holding up with solid communities. Don't forget that loyalty and holding go far as fuck in this space.

SuPrA_1988

I vote DOGE ! 🚀 And you ? 🫵🏻🫵🏻

Were-Cat

It will be a new household name like DOGE

lukekibs

DOT to $1000 in the super long term. Hodlers should know about the tech behind their coins. This simple concept alone holds the key to a lot of crypto’s run ups. Look at good tech coins like ETH, LINK, and even DOGE and you’ll quickly see why they’re such successful projects. DOT is soon to be in that category, just give it some time please

whitenoise2323

No. It has less transaction activity than many chains. BTC is number 8 in daily transactions coming in below TRX, ALGO, XLM, EOS, XRP, ETH, and DOGE https://www.tradingview.com/markets/cryptocurrencies/prices-most-transactions/

ImmediateShape4204

I hope you guys filled your bags of DOGE and SHIB during the bear. These puppy are hot tamales. DOGE back to 0.50 on the next push, SHIB to ATH.

Were-Cat

Will BONK become a household name like DOGE?

KilgoreThunfisch

I'm considering doing something I never thought I would even humor doing... I might actually buy DOGE.

KingCruzerr

DOGE to the moon 🚀

_lonedog_

WIF has shown to have big money behind them but DOGE is my favorite

Da_Wild_West

XRP, DOGE, WIF, BONK, SOL & ETH. Just remember, don’t put all your eggs in one basket

need-help7166

I hold ADA, UNI, GRT, FIL, DOGE out of these.

Long_Preparation_227

The coins with the highest trading volume could be one way to choose a "nice" coin. BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, XRP are some possibilities.

Mystclick

Don't think I've seen a more stable community than this one and I've been in loads of rugpulls. This feels like the new DOGE. Get in early

ConsistentClimate877

LUNA's problem is that it didn't have the reserves to keep UST stable. The real solution, I think, is to require that each stablecoin be backed by something of equivalent value to the coin it represents. For example, each $1 stable coin could be backed by (using current market prices) 1 USD, 0.000016 BTC, 6.68 DOGE, etc.

clit_or_us

Ok, hear me out. I've read everywhere about the BTC halving having no real impact on the pricing and I understand that is an educational response by logical people using historical data. One thing that is different this time around, besides the growing popularity, is it's happening on 4/20 (or 4/19 but it doesn't matter). Why is that significant? Cause memes play a huge role in this market and that date is nothing more than people getting hyped over a meme. Look at what happens on Twitter and with Elon. He says anything meme related and DOGE shoots up briefly. We've had a halving in November 2012, July 2016, and May 2020. Now we have this meme date that people are getting hyped about. The simple minded HODLers will go nuts over this. It's a stupid theory, but it's mine.

Solana or bitcoin. For more gamble DOGE.

DOGE

Shot-Crew-8383

I'm already an OG Shib and DOGE investor. Nothing brings me more happiness to watch Bitcoin be dethrone and Litecoin take top position in Bitpay. It's amazing to see Litecoin grow over the years. You can do what you want I'm perfectly content. 

apstl88

Good memes are saviours. I am satisfied with my DOGE position as well. DIA made me some money in the past few days, I can imagine what will hapen after the new tokenomics. Waiting for ROCK to explode, maybe after Tokio2049. There are things that are not going down that easily. It just take some time to find em. Is token migration over on CRO, btw?

Alts have all this technology, utility and fundamentals that should drive token demand but **the only hope of price appreciation for shitcoins is that BTC lifts the entire market with a post halvning bull run.** Sure sign that you have been scammed with bullshit narratives, meme tech, fictional utility and scammers who used their reputation for easy money grab through crypto - banks will use our token and buy your bags, load up while it is still cheap, it's going to be The Standard, no point in a stablecoin - peer-reviewed, scientific principles from associate degree holder form Front Range Community College who has never worked a day in his life but learned lessons creating multiple failed crypto projects - Turing Award winner, not a scammer, dumps tokens on you to buy sponsorship endorsements, only gifted 20% of the supply to himself - 10 Million, 20 Million, 50 Million, 100 Millions users downloaded the browser, demand for the token go through the roof, founder invented Javascript, look at the size of his head, he's genius and not a scammer - para-chains will drive demand for token will go through the roof, no the founder is not a pedo, it was just fiction - subnets coming, Snowball protocol, a Cornell professor but poses under subway signs saying "We're all going to make it" is not a moneygrab scammer - decentralized oracles. CCIP ultra-security, only thing the protocol does is centralized shitcoin price feeds but you know in the future crypto can't operate without decentralized oracles - fortune favors the brave, so lock up $40K to get one of our VIP credit cards while we rugpull you, no our founder isn't a scammer, he's only bankrupted like a half a dozen companies - trillions of transactions are coming, carbon-banking will be a reality for billions,Jinping and Macron will taste Blockchain-Verified Beef..ok none of this happened but we did pay $100 Million to verify UFC gloves on the blockchain, so it's not a scam gweilo ...paper hands, you're being too bearish, we're going to go up scammers and bagholders will tell you. The reality is 99% of Alts slowly bleed to death over the long run fooling your with their scam pumps giving the desperate dosages of needed hopium. - Only 2 coins from the top 25 from January 2018 are in profit (BTC, ETH) - Only 6 coins out of 1,500+ coins from January 2018 are in profit (BTC, ETH, BNB, DOGE, LINK, AAVE)

So, $DOGE has a better chance than $SHIB?

you_cant_see_me2050

It's true, most memecoins are a gamble. But sometimes you gotta take a chance. DOGE, SHIB and WIF are classics, ROCK actually has a pretty cool community and some interesting project ideas. POPCAT and LMEOW is good once cat memecoins picks up the steam. Memecoins can be fun, but let's be honest, most are long shots. Don't fall for the hype too much. That being said, a little memecoin fun never hurt anyone as long as you keep it reasonable.

you_cant_see_me2050

Maybe we can focus on both sides. The halving is bullish news, but it's also okay to acknowledge the current market jitters. Investors have different risk tolerances, so some might be taking profits or waiting for a better entry point. China's stance on crypto can be unpredictable, so their economic growth might not directly translate to a crypto pump. Everything's a gamble these days. Who knows, maybe those memecoins (DOGE, WIF, ROCK) will moon again, but wouldn't hold your breath. Chainlink, DIA, these oracle projects are building real stuff. BRC20 is getting the real hype these days. Acknowledge the upcoming halving as bullish news, but also recognize the factors causing fear in the market.

SmokeAndSkate

I bought ETH, ALGO, ADA, and even some fucking DOGE before coming to the realization that if we’re going the have a global digital money, we only need one, and everything else just crowds out the space.

DOGE ☝️☝️☝️

cr__ked

I hold ADA DOGE and Shib. I hope all 3 stays in the top 10 😛

uthillygooth

That's a fair point and I give you credit for the insight. IMO the perspective should be it's possible but is it probable? What is going to make SUI,SEI an outlier that aligns with Solana's unique rise versus the vast majority fate of VC coins. It's a bit of apples and oranges, but it's a bit like buying a promising shitcoin and thinking it's going to be the next DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, etc. Yes, the chance is there you'll hit but more than likely going big into those promising shitcoins leaves you broke. Like I said, a bit apples and oranges. I thought about going and looking at the full unlock solana schedule since it launched 4/2020 but I didn't delve too much into the details. It looks like 2021 is when the majority unlocked? 3 years ago. Not to mention the massive dump that you have had to hold through in late 2022 when it got down to 5-7 dollars. The market at the time and the FTX debacle contributing of course.

Am I about to buy like 5k worth of DOGE?

#Litecoin Pro-Arguments Below is a Litecoin pro-argument written by metnavman. > *Full Disclosure* > > *I sold my position in LTC this year during the last run-up to the ~$300s. Prior to that, I'd held a triple-digit position in LTC since ~2013. I did make money from this coin. That is only because of my time in the market, and not any particular strength of the coin in question. Truth be told, I'd have made more money being in other positions, so it is irrelevant. Perhaps I'll regret it one day. Perhaps not.* > >   > > * LTC is one of the "OG" coins. [As a fork of the Bitcoin protocol, it's been around almost as long.](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/litecoin.asp) It is a very secure coin, and utilizes [Proof of Work](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/proof-work.asp) through Scrypt to maintain that security. > > * This "early mover" advantage has allowed LTC to catapult into some very strong positions and use cases. I'd personally put it's [uses on the Paypal platform](https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/what-do-i-need-to-know-about-litecoin-faq4401) as one of it's strongest positions in the current financial zeitgeist. [There are certainly lots of others.](https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/csfixo/1100_companies_and_stores_accepting_litecoin_as/). > > * LTC is arguably the strongest PoW coin available. It is faster than BTC, cheaper to use, and available for use basically everywhere relevant that BTC is. As far as trading platforms and "on-ramps" for converting fiat currency into cryptocurrency, LTC will get you where you want to go. While it is not worth as much as BTC, it's far more capable for doing what a cryptocurrency is "supposed" to do. Ya know, be a currency that doesn't cost silly amounts of fees to use and take forever to confirm. > > * LTC's development team is currently working on implementing [Mimblewimble](https://www.mycryptopedia.com/mimblewimble-explained/) capabilities to the coin. The quick and dirty for that is adding a "privacy feature" to LTC, as well as potentially solving scalability issues that could crop up one day if usage of the coin were to exponentially increase. Development is ongoing in 2021, and viability/efficacy is not fully determined as of this writing. > > * LTC follows the same [halving](https://stormgain.com/blog/litecoin-ltc-halving) protocol as BTC. This has correlated to price increases for the coin in a similar fashion to BTC after each of these "cycles". It stands to reason that LTC should see another price increase in the 2024-2025 time-frame, coinciding with the next halving [set to occur in Q3 2023](https://litecoinblockhalf.com/). There's math and wrinkly-brain reasons for why it takes some time for the halving process to reflect in the market price. You'd have to go searching; I don't really understand it. There's a shiny graph on that link I put. Have fun. > >   > > ==*The rest of this will lean in the opposite direction of the guidelines set forth for this argument. Past this point, you're entirely in the realm of my opinion/experience as a crypto holder/trader since the early 2010s. Do your own research.*== > >   > > * I would stress that you proceed to [the LTC "Cons" portion of these arguments](https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/n5vbyk/pro_contest_litecoin_conarguments/) after finishing here and read what I've written there as well. My goal is to remain as unbiased as possible for these write-ups, and I will speak only to the positives of LTC in this thread. I encourage you, the reader, to view both sides and make an educated decision before investing in *any* crypto asset. > > * LTC offers a "tried and trusted" investment platform. If there was a stock to compare LTC to, it's the massive ETF or mutual fund that people put money into year after year and reliably draw a profit from. You will not see the insane fireworks of a DOGE pump, or the rug-pull of a [BITCONNEEEEECT](https://thenextweb.com/news/bitconnect-bitcoin-scam-cryptocurrency) when you put your money into LTC. You will get an investment that "should" make you money in the long run, and potentially set you up for some really solid gains in the future. > > * LTC is not the behemoth that BTC is within the crypto space. The intimidation that comes from the price-tag that BTC sometimes wields ($37K to own one coin at the time of this writing, 60K+ attained) can be a turn-off for the smaller investor still interested in owning a "full coin". While this mindset is considered by veterans within the space to be somewhat naive and counterproductive, it is a psychological aspect that affects many projects within crypto. LTC's ability to allow someone to jump in at a much lower price point and still feel like their investment is "effective" is certainly a strength. > > * LTC has been picked up in the 2021 bull-run by [large institutional entities](https://news.bitcoin.com/grayscale-adds-174000-ltc-to-its-litecoin-holdings-price-of-the-altcoin-unresponsive/), signalling some confidence in it's ability to generate income in some fashion for shareholders/investors. It remains to be seen how this action will play out, as the events are too closely aligned with the large correction in late May 2021 before the coin could pick up steam. [It briefly touched a high-300s price-tag](https://currency.com/litecoin-price-prediction-2021), and many of LTC's supporters believe that it was aiming to go higher before the entire market dropped. > >   > > LTC has carved out a solid niche for itself over the years, and a loyal base that wants to see it succeed. As with any investment into a volatile market like crypto, there's a good chance you could lose some money. That said, I would put the chances of it happening with LTC over the long run at a smaller percentage than some of the more risky or "unreliable" projects in the space. If you have patience and are looking for a low-stress coin with some realistic use cases and a good track record for ease-of-use and operability within the crypto-world, LTC may be the coin for you! ***** Would you like to learn more?

Got some more SOL 🌞 Considering DOGE, TRAC and JUP. If DOT falls below $5 I'm tempted to average down there as well. I'm a firm believer that the real bull is ahead of us still

Zelanor

I had no job had to sell in 2017. If I didn’t have to it would prob be worth 900k now. Had a ton of coins like LINK DOGE ADA

FourthStreetx

Odd, I also don't see the ones that did well here. Where is BNB? Sol? DOGE? Is this also cherrypicked some?

Backieotamy

Not true at all, more likely youll be victim of a rug pull or a scam but plent of DOGE, Shib, bonk and fliki have made a lot of people a lot of money. In 2021, I made 5k on Doge in that run and couldve been much more but I cashed out at .33 because I needed the money to buy a travel trailer. Had I waited till it hit .73 it would've been great. Im currently up like 5k in Shib without any risk, just threw some money at it randomly when "down" the last 2 years. You can make a killing with alt-coins but also end up wanting to kill yourself so be mindful of what shitcoins you invest.

whodisguy32

Not sure why you find the need to shit on alts, i've been consistently making 30-100% on positions I've open and closed since 1/1 of this year. Best performers GALA (+100%), ENJ (+70%), DOGE (+70%) ALU (+50%) Are you just jelly? :3

Davinter30

No ? DOGE got 300% up from february recently, SOL been like 800% up since last october.. AVAX got 300% up.. NEAR and RNDR even more.. and many more

Villain4Advice

I'm new but my strategy is just DCA the top 3 (BTC, ETH, SOL) and throw spare change at more volatile coins (DOGE, SHIB, or whatever) and staking JUP (I try to also "pay" myself whenever I decide to ~~gamble~~ invest in crypto by putting some money in a high apy savings account.)

ImmediateShape4204

Who'd have thought DOGE would be the strongest ALT of them all, still over 17 cents.

not_wadud92

There are certain numbers it is harder to break because people sell. 69 is one of those numbers because lol. BTC I think will likely get past that and stay there, but it's gonna take a lot, like it being harder to mine after a halving event. So err.. looking good for that. DOGE is actually a good example of these, I don't know what it would be called, a take profit barrier? It got pumped to 0.001 and stuck there for a while, Elon Musk made a tweet and it got to 0.01 and stuck there a while. Then some redditor said let's pump because lol and in about four hours it went to 0.069 and then corrected. If I'm not mistaken it also corrected at 0.420 and it's ATH was around 0.69 The more people actually plan out their off ramps the harder it is to have a continuous climb. It's a good thing imo, people are actually taking profit instead of being excited by numbers.

Icy_Patient_3667

>i don't think so. just have a look at $TON, #10 market cap, but 90% of its supply is hold by less than 10 wallets. if that isn't a sign of "no power to the people" i don't know. or $DOGE, where 250 whale wallets hold more coins than the sum of an average of 2.5 million retail wallets. You've named two, there are literally thousand, if not hundreds of thousands of coins out there. But people are buying and selling them. >the "people's coins" of the past, say $SAFEMOON or 99% of solo-dev tokens are either rugpulled sooner or later or simply a huge bubble, because why would you just randomly give anything a value? it's either hype or a community – but both barely survive long enough to make it a wise financial invest. People do give random values to things. Diamonds are a manipulated high value item, as is a lot of art, property, etc >i feel like this isn't true, either – most of the over-the-years-successful coins have actual teams, an actual product with fixed costs and huge financial backings. they pay salaries for community managers, aws server costs and have marketing budgets. all the traditional company stuff. in return, projects that fail or are misfunctioning, fail and are miserably left behind on the market. A lot of those didn't start with teams until they started to get popular. You said "why would you just randomly give anything a value", well why (and how) would you create a number of teams for something unless you knew it would be popular. You'd create it first, market it, and then create the teams. Unless you already had a shed load of money, or you were scamming people without having a product (coin). I can't remember which one it was, but one coin didn't exist, didn't have a blockchain, and had only a few people involved. It still managed to get quite popular, until they then tried to create a blockchain for it. >oh, no no.. quite the opposite. the rich people are loving crypto, since they can influence it way easier than traditional assets. the higher the volatility, the more your influence is worth. I didn't say they don't love it, I said they crap all, over it, as in public statements of the like. Of course rich people love it, they can manipulate people more and become even richer from it. And it's much easier than with physical or digital goods. But most will still tell you it's a scam, pyramid scheme or whatever, and then later tell you (or have someone tell you) how great it is.

Tsupaero

by retail i meant "retail investors", aka you and me. > All it really depends on is if people think it's worth the investment and make it popular by buying it. i feel like this isn't true, either – most of the over-the-years-successful coins have actual teams, an actual product with fixed costs and huge financial backings. just have a look at $TON, #10 market cap, but 90% of its supply is hold by less than 10 wallets. if that isn't a sign of "no power to the people" i don't know. or $DOGE, where 250 wallets hold more coins than the sum of an average of 2.5 million retail wallets. the "people's coins" of the past, say $SAFEMOON or 99% of solo-dev tokens are either rugpulled sooner or later or simply a huge bubble, because why would you just randomly give _anything_ a value? it's either hype or a community – but both barely survive long enough to make it a wise financial invest.

DOGE not nearly as good of a SOV bechae it doesn't undergo halvings and is infinitely inflationary

tldr; Market analysts predict Dogecoin (DOGE) could become a major player in the cryptocurrency market, potentially evolving into a form of currency comparable to fiat in various sectors. Bill Noble, Director of Research at Emerging Assets, suggests DOGE could become the official currency of X (formerly Twitter) and might even achieve legal tender status in Austin, Texas, influenced by Elon Musk's support and potential integration of DOGE payments on X. The rise of meme coins like DOGE, Shiba Inu, and WIF has been notable, with Dogecoin positioned to leverage this growth for practical utility, potentially becoming a 'blue chip' in the meme coin sector. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

* Bitcoin: You can't calculate this since Bitcoin doesn't have accounts, and each transaction creates new UTXOs * Ethereum: 57% * BNB: 82% * DOGE: 65% Note that the true percent is probably higher since people can create multiple accounts. Source: https://www.coincarp.com rich list

I think it will last and eventually rise up. I think at the end of it all, the store of value will be what crypto is all about, and so the chains with clear single functionality (per say) such as BTC, LTC, DOGE? BCH? will stick around. ........... maybe....

GoodShibe

Dogecoin has been essentially securing the LTC/DOGE network for a while now.

Master_Ad_9083

It’s time will come, many mentions here of it being the next ETF but it’s way ‘underpriced’ given it’s utility. Check this POW chart out for active addresses. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/activeaddresses-btc-doge-ltc-bch.html#3m LTC has 36% of BTC trading addresses LTC has 670% more than DOGE LTC has 864% more than BCH Given these metrics LTC mkt cap should be Vs BTC $500b Vs DOGE $189b Vs BCH $103b And yet it’s at $7.2b, so to get into a fair place given this value metric vs BTC/DOGE you’re looking perhaps at a 30-70x making a LTC worth $6,790 Add to this that in places like Bitpay LTC is the most used for transactions with nearly double the amount spent than BTC, LTC makes up 40% of transactions https://bitpay.com/stats/ if you took this metric vs the whole crypto space LTC market cap would be $1T making a LTC worth $11,904… You see predictions online, people drawing charts saying LTC is headed for $6-12k and whilst this seems like madness these are exactly the numbers that the active address (therefore network effect) seem to be pointing to. I can’t find any other crypto that has better investable metrics and I sit here HODLing my LTC disappointed so far but hoping it’s utility will get it noticed.

I'm saying that it seems to have more or less reached the limits of it's capabilities as a PoW coin, from a technical standpoint and an investment standpoint. Specifically as a less-valuable version of BTC, and more recently, left in the dirt by DOGE. It unclear whether or not it will recover.

The problem with this conversation is that it stops being about the technology behind the coin, and that makes it difficult to speak to the Pros and Cons without talking to the other aspects, which is discouraged within the guidelines of this case study.

That said, what it **does** do, it's pretty good at. Not great, but good *enough*. For some institutions and use-cases, that's perfectly fine. > > * You will consistently hear people who are in favor of LTC tell you that the age is a "feature" and that institutional money wants "stability" in their investments. While I disagree with those arguments, institutional money should be meaningless when trying to create a truly decentralized currency that anyone can use for anything, I understand where those folks are coming from. They're in this game to make money, which is what most everyone is in this game for, and likely what folks reading these arguments are looking for. > > * At the time of this writing, LTC has slipped to #15 for total market cap. I mention that because it once held the #3 spot [(#2 lost and never regained to ETH shortly after ETH arrived on-scene)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BCadb6SPNQ). It's slowly decayed from those top positions as time has gone on. That's not *inherently* a problem, as many coins far lower on the list have great use-cases and bear markets always shuffle things up. However, it creates a very serious problem: negative perception. > > * Remember what I said earlier: psychological. People don't like betting on the loser. People like to see their choices succeed, and again, at the end of the day, the vast majority of people in this space are lookin' to make some scratch. LTC is a hard sell for that. This past 2021 run, [you had a brief 7-day window](https://ycharts.com/indicators/litecoin_price) to potentially cash out your position around $350-$380. 11 days above $300. A nice 10x if you'd been betting on LTC [since it was ~$20-$30 back in 2017 or Dec 2018-Jan 2019](https://cointelegraph.com/ltc-price-index), but nothing like the gains that many other projects have seen since then (and only if you sold and didn't "hodl").

It's actually a meme on some of the LTC-specific subreddits that LTC is always "2 weeks away" from that next big break. In my humble opinion, that break has come and gone. Those of us who put money into the coin at $3 have seen 100x on our returns. The coin has been in the media since 2017, and is one of the few coins that has been shown in major news outlets alongside BTC and ETH. This isn't **new** news though.

I'd challenge someone interested in becoming a new investor in LTC to ask other holders when they entered. Good money says the vast majority are still holding from the 2017-2018 hype, just hoping for a chance to either get back to green, or maybe see some new gains. Sure, there's whales and "old money", but they're the ones with the vested interest in keeping LTC afloat. No one wants to see their nest egg dry up, and like I said, there *are* uses for the coin...

Doge fundamentals= It's a memecoin, there are no fundamentals. The biggest thing it has going for it is that twat Elon musk talking about it. No thanks. Doge technicals= Infinite supply. I have a minor in math, I don't care for your highschool understanding of what infinity is. Don't forget DOGE still has a lot of bag holders from last cycle, probably holding since Elon went on SNL and the price plummeted. During the bull run: Yea, Doge will go up, because *everything* goes up. The problem is, it's a shit investment compared to other crypto in the top10. It will simply be out performed by better investments. If you want real money, look at lowcaps (under 100M market cap). If you're looking at large caps, you do so for their fundamentals and DOGE is simply a memecoin without any.

Coininator

Usually a price difference means that arbitrage is not possible, because otherwise some people would already have taken advantage of it… Most common reason an arb opportunity exists is because withdrawals are not possible in the „cheaper“ exchange. Best arb opportunity right now would be buying DOGE on HitBTC for a theoretical 17x profit. But… you cannot currently withdraw them!

R3dFiveStandingBye

I hold it just for this reason, I mean DOGE was created as a joke, 28 billion market cap get outta here, buy SOL if you like money

Electrical-Type-6150

For every WIF theres a hundred BLBY. For every DOGE theres a hundred HOGE. You go with your bets, my man.

vinsanity_07

Probably BTC AVAX DOGE SOL QNT SHIB

PurposeMission9355

DOGE was used to transfer value to various exchanges and didn't want to wait or pay for the fees. That is the actual reason why it became "famous", while simultaneously as "worthless" as btc

dreampsi

BTC, ETH, ADA, prolly DOGE, too.

gitbashpow

BTC, DOGE and maybe ETH.

DankShibe

DOGE has proven itself during multiple crypto winters. I'd take if over any other crypto sans BTC and ETH.

Comicksands

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are better holds than most coins this subs has shilled. Last 6M performance vs BTC/USD: SOL: +338% SHIB: +54% DOGE: +20% ADA: -20% ALGO: -25% LTC: -50% XMR: -64% XRP: -71% This trend has been going on for 8 years. The best memes outperform your bags. Second point would be just buy BTC if you don't know shit

Kants_Paradigm

**Token Information** DOGE20 tokenomics include smart staking rewards, meaning you can earn right away. * 25% of supply sold in presale * 25% allocated to marketing * 25% for the project treasury * 15% used for staking rewards * 10% for exchange liquidity This is old information: current status: (total supply 140b tokens) * 25% of supply sold in presale (35b) (sold out) * 25% allocated to marketing -> moved to presale and sold out (35b) * 25% for the project treasury (35b) moved partially to staking rewards and presale. * 15% used for staking rewards, pool increase by reducing % treasury * 10% for exchange liquidity -> moved to presale and sold out (14b) As you can see there is a big shifting around due to the huge succes. Right now there are more than 87.7 billion tokens sold and even with moving the tokens around there is scarcity when we look at the demand and time remaining for pre-sale. This is a moonshot for sure.

Skyobliwind

BTC, ETH, ADA, DOGE at least. Some stables ofc (not sure if those that exist today tho).

drunk_phish

Some of us made money on DOGE. If you bought at 6 cents last year, you're up significantly. Just depends on how hard you went in.

zangor

DOGE is going to have some weird situation where its inflationary properties make it the world currency and DOGE is the first non-person thing to win the Nobel prize.

M4NOOB

I remember when you could tip with DOGE on reddit comments.

DOGE is the difference!!

I just bought a bag of DOGE, what have I become lol

It's interesting to look back at DOGE trading 10 years ago, when there were no exchanges. This shows how fast the crypto world is developing. 🚀🐕

jcpham

Bitcoin started the same, MTGox rebranded to suit bitcoin and there’s was always peer to peer OTC trading on IRC Same goes for DOGE if you wanted BTC for DOGE XRP started as a Bitcointalk giveaway and I myself amassed millions of XRP when it launched via p2p IRC trades We don’t actually need the exchanges. The rest of world,especially the financial world needs the exchanges for indices and price discovery

I remember holding my DOGE in a wallet on my computer and the program had to download the entire blockchain to see transactions. That was annoying.

I’d invest $4000 in DOGE - $12000 in ETH - $14000 in XRP - $20000 in BTC. Cheers mate ✌️

ImmediateShape4204

DOGE already back near 20 cents. Next stop 35!

DOGE_lunatic

I probably will get downvoted but f it. SHIB. Why? - I never thought that a meme like DOGE could reach 1 cent when I first see it in the first bull and now look at it, it will probably reach a dollar. - based on the retail investors, they are way more emotional and don’t care about technology, we saw how good projects create and disappear, so it’s not about “tech”, it’s just about greed and money making. - New generations are “stup*d”. They prefer to have a million of “tokens” with a dream that in some future it will hit a dollar so they will become a millionaire, rather than get idk 10 random tokens of the top 50 crypto. TLDR the believe that 1M tokens will reach a dollar is more plausible than 10 tokens hitting 100k$ per token. We can add in the mix that really 99% of this sub don’t care about tech and even not know what was the initial idea behind BTC creation, at the end of the day we all want money so we can buy a house or a fancy car, there is no sense of “investment” per se. If you really want to invest long term you will go to the stocks market. Let’s the downvotes begin

ChingChingLing

My honest opinion, DOGE will hit at least $1 this cycle

Haunting-Student-756

LTC? Why? Developer sold his bags long time ago. LTC is not DOGE. What does LTC do better than?

Cryptix001

What purpose does DOGE have?

Cryptix001

I get your point. I just think it's one of those purist, "can't see the forest for the trees" points. The Netherlands is still world-renowned for their tulips and people flok there every year to buy bulbs for their gardens or to see the fields. DOGE is still at 17¢.

Cryptix001

Oh I'm sure you are. Just like the people who think BTC is a scam are laughing at you just the same. Memecoins are a proven concept. Look at DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, WIF, and a bunch of others. It's like people who think Travis Scott makes dogshit music and classic rock is *real* music. I don't disagree with that sentiment, but as fucking dumb as I might think it is, there's no denying it appeals to enough people and it prints money for the guy and those who got behind him early on.

lhash12345

boring but DOGE

recessiontime

A bunch of TA regards are saying similar for DOGE as well. It's not really the price that is absurd, it's the timeframe. I think $10 can happen but if you are saying it happens in the next 9 months it is unlikely. Also, step outside the confines of looking at a coin in the vacuum of TA. XRP is a tired coin with no more speculative excitement behind it, everyone knows what it is about now - this isn't 2017 anymore. There are so many more coins now that will be competing with xrp and eating up its market share. Combine that with Ripple dumping their coins on retail it won't get there in 2024.

wonderingdev

If "pumping it" is an indicator of a great project and "better tech," in your view, then $WIF, $DOGE, and $PEPE are truly remarkable projects.

SummerVast3384

ETH used to be the ultimate shitcoin generator, now that title goes to SOL. If you want to invest in memecoins, stick to DOGE… there’s at least some good fundamentals behind that one. The rest of these memecoins are gambles

natefrogg1

All my homies think BSC is weak, DOGE on its own chain is what’s up

ImmediateShape4204

DOGE with higher lows, maintaning crazy high trading volume by weekly standards, while BTC holding gains just 10% under its all time high... Next leg up could be fun. Go doggy go!

biba8163

> Any fool can make an Alt, and any fool will buy it. —Henry David Thoreau - Only 2 coins from the top 25 from January 2018 are in profit (BTC, ETH) - Only 6 coins out of 1,500+ coins from January 2018 are in profit (BTC, ETH, BNB, DOGE, LINK, AAVE) - Now you have 7,500+ coins and people think diversifying your portfolio with Alts that almost always lose money will somehow make them money

ImmediateShape4204

The point to buy DOGE was a few weeks ago at 8 cents when everyone here said it was dumb to buy DOGE. I think DOGE can still 4-8x on the next push, so I guess yeah it is not too late. Volume still very high.

bananastand512

This is just anecdotal, but recently at Easter my brother in laws (who were heavy into things like DOGE, ADA, DOT, etc) were chatting with me about crypto. Both of them said they felt too burned to buy anything during this past bear market but might consider getting back in during the next bear market. They felt now is too late since Bitcoin passed its ATH, and said they didn't want to lose money at the top again. Now, to us, we might be saying "it's not the top yet, we haven't even had the halving." But others don't care. They see the DOGE and SHIB they bought during May 2021 lose 80-90% value and sold it all at a loss. They had their wives tell them "no more risky shit" and instead doubled their 401k contributions and are saving for vacations to Mexico with their family. People are scared this time and I can't blame them.

Norbit__Gates

I’m considering buying a big bag of DOGE right now. What have I become?

DrXaos

But so what? That's true for everything except BTC and ETH and DOGE. Shouldn't stop other people using the network effectively, and people do. Why not use the one that hums along effectively? Someone has to pay for all that software development which is not free.

chud304

just stack up on ETC and DOGE. an LTC

theonepercent65536

There’s a coin called DOGE based on an internet meme of a Shiba Inu that has a $25B market cap. It is not a blockchain, just a token on the Ethereum blockchain. I mention this because it interests me that people get confused about Solana, which is at least its own (albeit very shitty) blockchain, but no one bats an eye about DOGE. Or DOGWIFHAT. Or BONK. Just want to make sure everyone is aware of these. May help clear up how people make decisions as to where they put their money.

recessiontime

I am convinced they are going after ETH and ethereum foundations. If you look at my posts from my history I predicted ADA and ETH eventually being labelled a security over 1 year ago I predict that unless congress intervenes most of the US exchanges will have to severely limit their offerings, close down or move overseas. After being delisted from US exchanges the upside potential for security labelled cryptos will be diminished greatly. Just look at how XRP performance was stifled in the 2021 bullrun. I predict that if the SEC succeeds in labeling ETH a security the market would simply move to BTC and POW coins to make money since they would be a safe haven from SEC scrutiny. Crypto would survive overseas outside the USA but all the capital would be limited to a limited selection of POW coins like DOGE or LTC. The good news is that I think we will get to enjoy the profits of the 2024 bullrun before the SEC does the bulk of their damage to the market. The Coinbase/Kraken/Binance lawsuits are more than 1-2 years away from being settled. The SEC will not hand down their Wells notices to Ethereum companies until the end of the year.
