bitcoinexpress - BCX you there? Have you ever been on a new coin so soon? I really don't know, asking.

If a coin as new as dogecoin is can generate the excitement, news stories, exchange activity - 4 exchanges within 12 days of launch what is stopping it? The nay-sayers who say it can't succeed? I doubt it.

Maybe instead of looking in at what people at bitcointalk are saying more people should be looking out at what the rest of the world is saying.

In my experience when most people think of btc/ltc and the originating coins people think you have to be great/good with "computer type stuff".

When they see dogecoin they laugh and say "ha ha really that's a crypto-currency?", but because they already know from news outlets that crypto-currencies are on the rise they take that happy association that they had when they saw doge and associate it with the value they already know crypto has.

Psych 101 no? It's appealing, it makes you happy and smile and it has perceived value.
