Just made a purchase on cryptsy thinking I was buying doge.
Weren't you concerned about the high price?
Doge's dirt cheap. Fast growing community on reddit. Markets itself through tipping. If I sent you a tip right now, would you say no? A bit like a dog coming up to be patted. It's sitting on 12 mil market cap, and that's pretty small for a tipping coin. How does digitalcoin differentiate from litecoin? Doge seems to be a mental onramp for the untech savvy into crypto. That's worth a lot.
I wanted people to tip artists for music over 10 years ago. Now it might happen.
DGC is much faster than ltc, more attractive for gpu-miners due to its lower difficulty and much less centralized/manipulated than ltc. It has high potential for future gains due to actual services (Point of Sale due to its speed) and not only speculation, whereas Doge is a pure pump and dump with bazillions of coins (not rare at all vs only 144 million coins DGC). At the same time it has all the advantages of POW scrypt coins being secured by a growing but already large network. DGC community is larger these days than LTC community. Good luck with Doge, don't forget to jump off the bandwagon BEFORE it'll go over the edge.
