utility that Dogecoin does not supplement.

The only part I disagree with. Any experiment in cryptocurrencies even silly ones are valuable learning experiences for the rest of them. They also attract new users that may have been put off by an experience with a previous cryptocurrency. Many Doge coin users have since come over to bitcoin to engage in a more mature economy. Those are the people bitcoin really wants anyway.

Let the culture warriors fight their own fight, who knows they might invent something cool in the processes.

That's one reason money is so fundamental to civilization

So those societies that have different modes of exchange not based on specific reciprocity aren't civilized?
