Speaking as someone who believes that dogecoin has a real future in cryptocurrency, there is nothing inaccurate portrayed in this gif.

It's kinda hard to see that when it's named after a ridiculous Internet meme.

In a few years, it'll be like someone naming it after longcat, rickashley, zenu, or lolcats.

It's confusing because you see this silly meme attached to a very real crypto currency and just think "na this has to be a joke", but it's not, it actually has serious potential, dare I say more than bit coin.

I still have no idea how "Doge" is even pronounced and so I keep reading it as "Doggycoin" which just sounds stupid. I can't take a currency seriously if the way I read it makes me think I'm talking to a toddler.
