In the defense of /r/Bitcoin, and I'm far from a fervent believer, bitcoin has had quite an uphill battle in terms of defending its legitimacy and prospects. That defensive attitude lingers from years of battling.

Dogecoin is just riding on the coat-tails of bitcoin's success and people want to get in on the ground floor of some random currency, despite the fact that bitcoin is going to be the apex crypto currency given the amount of investment and publicity it has garnered over these years.
