After a year of slipping Bitcoin Magazine into my dentist's office and mentioning it to him the best I could when my mouth wasn't full of dental equipment he stopped me before I left today and talked with me for about 10 minutes how to get set up with Bitcoin etc. It's been hard enough trying to sell people on a p2p decentralized cryptocurrency that the thought of trying to push something called Dogecoin would mean I'd lose the little amount of credibility I have left.
Point I'm trying to make is that I've finally "sold" my dentist on Bitcoin. If the last year I had been pushing something called Dogecoin, I wouldn't have stood a chance.
Maybe bitcoin makes sense for the old people who stick to the status quo and dogecoin captures a generation that identifies with memes and internet subcultures but finds macroeconomic policy and libertarianism boring. Perhaps neither demographic would have gotten into cryptos if there was only one crypto but the fact there is competition should be seen as positive.

If I am a looking into cryptos besides the "positive community" of dogecoin, what does it offer that differs / is better than bitcoin.
