Well...ok doge offers no "technical inovations" and i understand that for oldfags this question is important - indeed it is! And yes, the barking is sometimes too loud and childish...but on the other hand doges community on reddit also does a lot of charity...that not just helps people, its also a very good promotion for cryptos in general.

well, did you once thought about this important point that for the mainstream-user technical inovation is not the key question? its usability instead! ...and if you would check out what grows on reddit and how cryptos are getting more and more a mainstream feature there you could imagine that apps and tipbots maybe not might be the most complex inovation but the most needed.

as far as i know that wave has begun with doge...doge will find his place and areas where people like it and for sure there will be more decent alternatives for other opportunities. the key point is: how can normal people easy and fast use cryptos without having to get an expert.

maybe the first generation is more than enough for that need...the second generation is coming anyway...but i dont think it makes sense to complain about something just because its not the highest scale of development posible...

if people understand it and can use it, its an important step!

FINALLY! An intelligent argument. Thank you! I was beginning to believe what OP said about Dogecoiners. Wink

You definitely made a few good/valid points. No doubt Doge's popularity is promoting cryptos. But I suppose another part of that equation is the user base its attracting and the type of publicity its receiving. Is this truly very good promotion for crypto currency in general? Is excessive promotion inadvertently overshadowing other crypto coins? In the long run, is helping or hurting the scene? These are just questions to spark additional thoughts is all. I own several types of crypto coins - bitcoin is the only one I'll actively promote. For now that is.

any other coin can perform this task..

no not ANY ...but a certain one...check my signature and you know which coin will make the race...
