I've been a fan of DOGE & use it more than any other crypto, and have been since 2014. The main reasons are:

• strong community worldwide
• 1-minute block times
• $0.01 tx fees (or less if you're stingy)
• merge-mining with LTC makes network more robust
• plentiful supply makes it easier to use as a currency

I was into it way before Elon, but let's face it, without any action from Elon its doomed to fall back into the single-digits price-wise. So yeah its a great crypto to use but a risky long-term investment.

Having said that, I'm currently nearly all-in on $DOGE.
