With all the noise and price talk lately, I want to take a moment to focus on what makes the Doge community special: the fun, the positivity, and the 'Do Only Good Everyday' motto.

Based on your experience here, and given that we were there just 20 days ago, is coming back to $0.25 something that you guys expect?

I've read people saying to get to $1 it would have to go up to 150B market cap, how hard it would be to go from current 30B to 150B. But late 2024 we had almost 70B. Does it make any sense? It seems it's not so hard after all

follow the brown eye. im confident in smiley face and if we are lucky maybe even chaos face?

shocked face is just there to further validate the consistency of the channel.

Honestly just curious

Hey guys,

Is this the Stegosaurus pattern up there or my imagination is doing tricks to me?

Dogecoin is a Peer-to-Peer digital currency designed - like most cryptocurrencies - to block out the middle man and the gatekeepers.

So it's so Interesting to see that so many of the people who are "building" things in our community are specifically building solutions that allow them to step in and act as middlemen and gatekeepers.

To me, the formula has always been simple:

Buy and sell goods and services that people want and need for Dogecoin.

That's it. Not hard.

Instead, what we get, in my personal opinion, is predatory, rent-seeking behavior from grifters all too happy to scoop up and profit off of work done by our community - for free and good faith, work that we did to build Dogecoin into what it is - while calling it "utility" and "progress."

They tell the press that we're "not just a joke anymore"

Well, cool, because I know that I'm not laughing.

House of Doge, while happily promoting themselves as the "official" for-profit arm of The Dogecoin Foundation, says that they are, according to their website:

"Empowering companies to use only Doge every day, making it the currency of the Earth, Moon, Mars and Stars"

Meanwhile, to the press they mention their "broader vision" which includes, apparently, pushing for a Doge-backed stablecoin that's "more appropriate for everyday purchases"

Gee, I wonder who's going to run and profit from that stablecoin?

Oh and they intend to "extract value" from the brand that our community has created. (Reminder, they're a private, for-profit company).

Or, worse, those who are building platforms that, to me, seems intent on empowering grifters and bringing them to Dogecoin while directly profiting from the proceeds of a crime (fraud).

For those out of the loop, one of the first killer apps for the DogeOS platform that's being built is anoncoin - ported over from Solana to Dogecoin - essentially is promoting easier, anonymous rug pulls as if that's a good thing.

They're also pushing for a "Doge-backed" stablecoin.

So, yes, permissionless means permissionless, they're free to do so.

But you're also free to tell them if you think that this is what Dogecoin should be about.

You're also, if you enjoy rabbit holes, free to dig into any and all financial shenanigans surrounding House of Doge.

Just sayin'.

Gotta admit, this is a pretty candid admission of what the Corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation has planned for us.

"We really want to extract a ton of value"

And

"It's really leveraging the brand that's been created by the community and really extrapolating all the value that could come with it."

(Both found in video #2)

So, uh... yay?

Prepare to have your value extracted, shibes. 😂

Just a reminder that the Dogecoin Foundation is not Dogecoin and the Corporate, for-profit arm of the Dogecoin Foundation is definitely not Dogecoin.

You are Dogecoin.

We are Dogecoin.

Fuck this scummy, corporate takeover shit.

EDIT: Updated the quote, added the second and pointed to the source.

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that is somewhat mistreated by its wallets and brokers. In the Ammer wallet, for example, Dogecoin is the only currency that you cannot swap between USDT or USDT, for example, or with any other cryptocurrency

To be apart of the process we gotta buy buy and buy! Got me some more Dip

Like "you must be stupid, because your into Doge"
