Anyone else in dogecoin

Serious question: Can someone explain to me *why* someone would want to invest in cryptocurrency (any crypto) vs putting the same money into a traditional investment product?

I recall someone saying that crypto pricing isn't really tied to any particular financial data, but is solely based on supply/demand/what someone else will pay for it.  Which isn't really an "investment" as much as it is shuffling deck chairs around / a glorified eBay.

Using dogecoin as an example, as others have said here earlier, the fact that its price seems connected to Elon's tweets isn't exactly a good or predictable business model.

I think some for blockchain stuff is interesting and I would assume some aspects of the crypto world will bleed over.  Especially as the world gets smaller, we continue to move online and seek to move faster.   I think there are some legit projects trying to do some good big picture things.  

I don’t call it investing.  I think it is worthwhile to speculate in it if you have money you don’t care about.  Most of it will go away.   

But I still don’t get Bitcoin at this point.  Seems already outdated and old vs the field (and we are still in the speculation era) ….and IMO it’s now being pimped as digital gold because everyone knows it won’t serve a functional purpose in this space down the road vs what others are doing. 

A lot of it IMO is just digital beanie babies and garbage.  Most of it.  You aren’t going to want to be sitting their at the end with them.  But you can defiantly make some short term cash doing that.

Depending on the coin (not dogecoin, which is flawed), most cryptocurrency is deflationary whereas the US dollar infinity inflates. That's why Bitcoin is big even though it's ancient, there's only ever going to be 21,000,000 bitcoin and an estimated 25% of those are already lost into the void. It's also shaping up to be a world currency that holds the same value for anyone in the world, and more and more merchants are accepting it as payment.

In my opinion, we have yet to discover what the worldwide mass adopted cryptocurrency is that we use for everyday payments, and when that coin is discovered, its going to make some people an assload of money. Like billions and billions of dollars worth of value. Bitcoin is not sustainable and Ethereum has problems too. Dogecoin is mined too easily.

It's easy to explain. The stock market is slow moving and there isn't really a feeling of being able to change your entire life based on it. In crypto people are constantly talking about their investments x100, x1000, etc. 

 

A lot of people want to say differently, but its a casino that can make you filthy rich if you play it correctly.

Had three coin holdings go over a million dollars and I sold early for 2-5K gains. 

It hurts, but I've learned a lot this year. I think Crypto is here to stay too.

hey, at least you didn't invent dogecoin and then sell it all for a busted up and used Honda Civic.  No matter how bad you do....someone always does it worse.

True. But to happen three times with three different coins is horrible!

Had 1 billion HOGE...sold for $2K a month later it was $990K

A shitload of FEG...sold for $2K two months later $1.2M

350B Elongate....sold for $5k a month later was on the JIMMY KIMMEL Show and was ~$800k

I feel good about my holdings now though, if stupid Elon Musk shuts up and China gets their act together

I bought 5k worth of Ethereum at 10 bucks a coin...... sold at 40 dollars lol. I haven't done the math.  No thanks.

    • I agree with you in that I think we can take one on the road, two against this opponent would be a tall order.  Not impossible, but we'd be making it awfully hard on ourselves.
    • Dylan Larkin has requested a trade from the Red Wings: https://thescore.com/nhl/news/3550045 Trade Aho for Larkin. Work it out. Whatever it takes. I've always liked Larkin's game and I think he'd be a great fit alongside Jarvy and Svech.
    • This is a how I recall it as well. It was one "this year" 2nd and two future 1sts. Very few are able to predict the future, but I feel you had to label those 1st as late 20s. The true blunder was what you stated, before you turn down that massive offer, its a 100% must you sign Burns cause that value is still elite QB level offer. As we know either happened and Dan was a first time GM needing to fix this blunder of blunders. He or the group made the choice about not giving BB 30 per, I get it since he had holes in his game.  The issue here is the issue since 2018= tepper. Sometime either during the hiring process or with the two years, Im fairly certain trepper demanded a QB on the roster with a capable roster to compete. Fittererererererer job was on the line and he gassed up trepper into believing BY and the roster were ready to win..................... That roster of 2023 in hindsight was awful, I was wrong....... I thought even with a rookie BY they could have challenged for the NFC south, not a chance with that dogshit team and coaching staff.......whom I was also fooled about. Now you have the worst team 2-14 without 1st overall pick, DJ Moore, and no Brian Burns.  I don't know what or why or ____ just the panthers and finding good WRs with long careers is just cursed. You got Smitty and moose, that's about it for 25 years until they drafted DJ Moore.....so 3 dudes in 26+ years AND you trade one for a QB whom needs a team that doesn't struggle to find WRs......... Fittererererere was just like Morgan, he was a rookie GM and this team even back to 2020 just has failed at adding talent, young talent, or difference makers. Even look at the roster- Dbrown is about the only great player drafted in what feels like 10 years(horn struggles and tmac only 1 year)..... Treppers pressure is legend and him bringing in people with such little exp to fix the team was the main reason for 2 win 5 win seasons. He should have hired a old gray haired guy, but I know treppers ego would not allow someone else to have the answer.  I've work with teppers type and still do...... Smart people observing them know "if its not their idea, they want nothing to do with cause weird human reasons" Doesnt matter if my idea can solve the issues with 24 hours and it 100% corrects the problem, nah his plan is for 3 weeks with different Appaloosa Strategies.......... I do think he finally took a few steps back and allowed Dan and Daves staff to learn on the job, he had no choice given the league refused his money.
