    So fitting as DOGE is named after a literal pump and dump shitcoin.

        I remember mining it way back in 2015. The community was super fun and lighthearted. Nobody really cared about actually buying stuff with it outside of memeing about it becoming a serious currency. Apparently the creator is full MAGA now though which is sad

          I did a bit of mining, too. Not with the expectation of any great profit, just for fun and the experience with cryptocurrencies. And if it should take off, even better.

          The whole community reminded me a lot of the good old days of memes, not taking itself too seriously, being very helpful and positive. A stark contrast to all the crypto bros pushing other coins and looking down on Doge.

          Of course, then the dipshit-in-chief started promoting it …

      Yes, and perfectly named because:

      Dogecoin is an inflationary cryptocurrency, which means that its supply increases over time. New coins are regularly added to the system through minting and mining. Dogecoin’s inflationary system is unique because it adds a consistent 5 billion new coins each year.

      It’s both inflationary and a rug puller’s delight.

        I was in a band called Rug Puller’s Delight.

        The first three or four songs of every set were excellent covers of chart topping songs and the rest was a rambling and dissonant 90-minute jazz opera about navel lint.

        We never played the same venue twice for some reason… 🤔
