when a clone can compete with its parent with no conceivable advantage, this is very dangerous indeed for the idea of digital scarcity. this is very troubling.
I would not be surprised is this joke is funded by crypto enemies (like JP) and when they make it No1 will let it collapse just to prove that the whole cryptocurrencies ecosystem is a joke, just like doge...
klee, Doge may seem like a joke but it is not. It's an experiment that worked out pretty nicely so far. I remember the first two days when DOGE came out, it was very well perceived from day one and people loved to send the doges around. I remember receiving hundreds of thousands just as a joke because nobody took it seriously. Not much later it began to become huge.
It also nicely demonstrates the power of marketing and hype. PS. I don't own any DOGE atm and I am personally not much interested in it, huge numbers of other people are though.
NXT is a king when it comes to crypto innovation, yet average crowds do not care about the king, they want the fun. Doge provides it. Once Nxt has stepped up its game, providing a great multi platform client that is proven to work -- once it is easy to understand and approach the king people are going to use Nxt and find out just how great and advanced it actually is. Until then, it might just be quietly sitting on its throne in the dark.
