Nobody who is knowledgeable about crypto ever thought dogecoin was anything but a meme coin or pump and dump scheme. They would have known it offered zero benefits technologically over existing cryptos. Some may have bought it to cash in on the crazy market surrounding it, but they never thought doge was the future or anything. The people who thought that were the "i read one article and I'm a crypto expert now" crowd referenced in my original comment.

I viewed it as more of a donation to see the stupid meme on Nascar or other dumb sponsorships.
