What is the maximum amount of dogcoins there will ever be?
It's unlimited which means it's no different than your traditional fiat money which is inflationary
I see what your saying and I definitely do think that time is coming. But alas, I want to keep this conversation focused on Dogecoin and bitcoin to avoid getting too off topic.
dodge is no different than any other altcoins, be it sha2/scrypt/custom-coded, it that it is still and will forever be an altcoin. In the world of cryptocurrency, it's just Bitcoin (the first, the one that created the term cryptocurrency) and altcoins (the rest, cryptocurrency clones that will always be based back to Bitcoin). Unless someone can come up with a form of decentralized money that is not categorized as cryptocurrency, then there is a difference and a distinction. Any other coins that uses the Bitcoin solution of trust (the blockchain, the public ledger solution) is just copycats of Bitcoin.
