So why is doge coin still a thing. Does it have any value proposition? any real world use case? I like the donation/charity concept it had when it started, it doesn't seem that's the route for the coin anymore, so what's its purpose?
I'm here for the memes, myself.
Okay serious answer; the pitch is it's like Bitcoin, but 10x faster, several times the maximum number of transactions (will be 10x if/when we adopt SegWit), a fraction of the cost to use, has an adorable mascot, newbie friendly and the price is less volatile than Bitcoin so it's vaguely possible to price stuff in it. Heck, stores might even be able to keep it and be confident they can pay suppliers with it at the end of the month without it having gained or lost 50% of its value depending on the weather.
