I am getting tired of all this dogecoin hype. This altcoin is not innovative, does not solve a problem that bitcoin has and was in fact created to mock all the altcoins. Yes it's funny (for the first 5 minutes) but tell me the added value? You think it's good for tipping because it's almost worthless?

The beauty of bitcoin is that you CAN type out long decimals. The beauty is that you can USE bitcoin to pay for goods and services. Bitcoin was like Dogecoin 5 years ago, why are you trying to repeat this proces?

If you look at the site of Tippercoin, you see that it is also possible to send for example a beer ($4) in bitcoin. Seems pretty easy to type, not?

The way I see it is that most of the altcoins are created by and for people who think they have missed the Bitcoin-boat and are stuck with their old mining hardware. Hoping that their altcoin will take off, by pumping and hyping it everywhere including Hacker News, so they can make some easy money.

Not really. People like dogs and people like large nominal amounts. It's not rocket science.

Dogecoin is the small man's answer to banks to shove it, think about it.

And Bitcoin isn't? And what stops banks from entering, like some (say that they) are planning to do with bitcoin?

[wellboy]

Yeah, but Bitcoin is the seasoned second-time founder taking on the banks, Dogecoin is the young 21y old kid giving them the middle finger.

It's fun to see bitcoiners get mad about it.
