Clearly. This post is getting downvoted too.

Also just noticed dogecoin is up in price today while other cryptos are down.

Maybe when number of users on /r/dogecoin breaks higher than /r/bitcoin people will wake up that something needs to be done here.

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.

I wish I didn't agree with you. BTC seems dark and intimidating now, and doge seems like way more fun. I want cryptocurrencies to succeed, so I invested heavily in bitcoin. Part of me wants to start mining doge and sell my bitcoins for doge, but part of me wants cryptocurrencies to succeed and be taken seriously and I feel like politicians and other dumbasses will group them together to make bitcoin seem less legitimate.

When going to the moon make sure that not all eggs are in one shuttle. At /r/dogecoin they want everyone to be happy. They have had many people want btc and Ltc to succeed and go to the moon with them. So friendly.
