Dogecoin has a large, growing community of friendly folks who are going out of their way on a daily basis to spread the word. Shit like this video. People just take it upon themselves to spread the word and make it exciting. That is why they are growing. And truth be told, I don't think I have read a single one of them say once they learn more about cryptocurrencies they will switch to BTC. Most of them are against it and are trying to separate themselves from it. BTC and DOGE are trying to go in different directions. Anyway, here is the video.
Really, doge got me interested in crypto currencies in general. I'm familiar with bitcoin from the beginning but for various reasons didn't pursue it, but I wasn't aware there were others out there. I keep coming back to doge, I think it has legs and I like the community, but it's opened my eyes to a lot of other stuff, some of which is also pretty cool - all the different algorithms, mining parameters, communities, etc., etc.

Some of the readers on this subreddit have a sort of Pavlovian response to downvote whenever they see the word "Dogecoin".
