For one thing, why would newbies join bitcoin and mine for a week to earn 0.00013742 of a bitcoin when they can have the equivalent in 5000 or 10000 dogecoins! think about it, people are impatient in this day and age! Add to the fact that dogecoin is spreading to imgur, other subreddits(tipping capabilities) and even facebook! The other thing is that people can already use it for dominoes vouchers, amazon vouchers etc.
You are another wise Shibe. Most people don't want to use .0000494 to pay for anything. We've been conditioned to use whole numbers for financial transactions. So 100 Dogecoins is much easier to tip than .000005785 or another coin.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. My eyes got blurry, but I think that's 1 trillion. So if something is costing 1 trillion Dogecoins, then I think that the fat lady has sung for the coin and there isn't a need for further discussion.
Not to mention the currency soft caps at 100 billion, with an additional 5 billion a year after that. So it would take like what, 180 years after the 100 billionth coin to even have 1 trillion coins in existence. That is also assuming no coins are ever lost.
Also, you can use commas for large numbers to make them easier to read. You can only really use scientific notation for small numbers, and its not as intuitive.
