$50,000 for 1 minute of airtime to a demographically unsuitable audience. I get that shibes think a payment network and associated technology should turn into a clubhouse, but not all of us agree.

I smile whenever I see bitcoin mentioned positively in FT or The Economist. Shibes can have their 15 minutes in the pop culture spotlight, but that's not what we're trying to accomplish here.

The dogecoin car has been the talk of every crypto currency community the past few days. It's made the front page of reddit several times. It's made regular news. Whenever nascar tweets about dogecoin it gets 1000 retweets.

Not everyone is a financial expert but everyone uses currency. The more who know about dogecoin will result in more people using it. I don't see how $50k was wasted here.

edit:I just noticed that out of the top 5 threads on r/bitcoin 4 of them have been about dogecoin. You can't tell me that bitcoin users are out of the demographic.

Marketing inside the echo chamber of Reddit and "crypto currency communities" isn't marketing, it's circlejerking.

We're talking about the tools to help people move money with confidence and comfort. When a guy in Belarus wants to move $10,000 without getting a border guard shakedown, does a bunch of millennials squawking memes at him provide any help whatsoever? No. He doesn't care about "the community" or whatever goodwill you're generating by tipping people 69 doge ironically, he wants to be secure in the knowledge that the technology and network is going to function as advertised.

Dogecoin was never meant to be taken seriously, so why do you guys get so upset when you aren't taken seriously?

And honestly, the massive downvoting coming from shibes toward ANY dissent about dogecoin really undercuts your theme of unity and world peace. Surely if your community is as strong as you claim, you can debate without the brigades.

That's the whole point of the NASCAR sponsorship: to market beyond that echo chamber and get ordinary people involved in cryptocurrency.

Fun and dependable don't have to be mutually-exclusive, you know. The guy in Belarus doesn't have to care about the community to use dogecoin; he just has to have a wallet and an address to send to. My grandma in Idaho doesn't have to even know what reddit is, or speak in broken English, or tip people endlessly; if she wants to send money to me, she just needs to care about an easy-to-use app on her computer that happens to have a dog as its mascot.

Says who?

I actually upvoted your post, since it seems like you're trying to contribute to a constructive discussion.

You can't tell me that everyone on reddit is already aware of dogecoin and knows tons about it. People are hearing about it, it's being marketed effectively.

As I mentioned before not everyone is interested in the technical aspects. Besides moving $10k without ringing any bells sounds kinda shady to me.

Dogecoin sparked my interest of crypto-currency. They taught me the basics so I could get started. If you need help it will be given to you.

I agree dogecoin wasn't meant to be taken seriously. No one denies that it started as a joke. It will never be considered as serious as bitcoin but people are taking it more seriously everyday.

It may be possible that your post wasn't downvoted from brigades. It was probably downvoted because people disagreed that sponsoring a nascar team was a dumb idea.

FYI: I'm not trying to get into a btc vs doge fight here. I love both. I own both. Dogecoin wouldn't be here without bitcoin but you have to admit that dogecoin has turned into something big on it's own.

Besides moving $10k without ringing any bells sounds kinda shady to me.

Regardless of the intent of that movement of cash, the more relevant point is that doing so with dogecoin is just as possible and effective as doing so with Bitcoin. Fast transaction, money is safely moved, done.

My sister frequents reddit and she doesn't know what dogecoin is, so maybe your assumptions are skewed.

[–]inceptionn 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Read the first sentence of my post you replied to.

[–]morzinbo 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Hmm...read "is" as "isn't". My apologies.

[–]inceptionn 3 ポイント4 ポイント

lol np

[–]duckrageous -4 ポイント-3 ポイント

The most hateful and mean-spirited responses I've received are from Doge fans.

[–]inceptionn 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Sorry to hear that. Please accept my apology as a member of the dogecoin community.

edit: not sure if you guys thought I was being sarcastic but I wasn't.

[–]duckrageous 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I didn't think you were being sarcastic. I wasn't being sarcastic either.

[–]inceptionn 2 ポイント3 ポイント

I know, earlier that post had a bunch of downvotes so i thought maybe people misunderstood

[–]duckrageous 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Thanks. Like any group (bitcoin included) you guys have some zealots who feel the best way to build something is to tear anything similar apart.

It's just hard for me to listen to people who say how "mean" Bitcoin is when I've seen the random Doge pounce when he gets a chance.

[–]inceptionn 6 ポイント7 ポイント

Yeah exactly, and of course people only remember the rude comments. I don't think it helps that both the btc and doge communities have very high egos either lol

[–]duckrageous 3 ポイント4 ポイント

A good example is the headline for this thread. It ignores all the good bitcoin has done while presenting Doge as better because of a NASCAR sponsorship. Frankly, and this is just me, I wouldn't even think of sponsoring a car when there are so many more important (in my opinion) things to do with money.
