Yeah, and I remember in 2017, it was much much cheaper and faster to sometimes exchange your btc to doge and withdraw to an exchange, and convert back to bitcoin... for gambling sites that supported doge exchange!
I remember Litecoin was used for that
Dogecoin was good too for moving wealth to and from exchanges, but not every major exchange out there (think Bitfinex here) accepted it (for example, Bitfinex still doesn't accept it despite a lot of shitcoins that they do). It would be good to see Litecoin added to Roobet.com too as it is also widespread, relatively cheap (both in terms of price and transaction costs) and fast as far as confirmation times are concerned. Most other casinos have it as well. Not sure why they don't add more coins
Yeah, Litecoin was the proper coin to do that for sure, but there were a lot more doge players too, because people just loved giving out doges as tips or rewards (since it was either so cheap or the guys mining it were mining so much), so by virtue of lots of giving away, there were lots of owners, and they felt compelled to just exchange out to doge.
I was one of them, got a huge tip of doge more than any btc I ever owned at the time.
I didn't check the numbers myself but as it turns out the image of being a fun coin played out massively in favor of this coin in the last years. We know quite a few Bitcoin whales who are sitting on millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin (starting with Satoshi himself). But how many Dogecoin multimillionaires are out there? I don't think that many, and it is a good thing because more even wealth distribution provides more level playing ground and better starting conditions for everyone (read, there is less market manipulation and more real value in the price tag)
