How to lie with statistics 101: hide the zero of your y-axis. Dogecoin has gone from .077 to 0.089, about a 17% gain. Not the moon.

The "sigh" in the title makes it pretty clear that "to the moon" isn't meant seriously and just reference to often mentioned phrase "dogecoin to the moon"

If you invest $10000 in something, and it has increase of 20%, that's $2000 profit. It doesn't matter if it was .077 to .089 or 77k to 89k.

At risk of sounding like one of those people who do nothing but complain about Elon Musk, I can see a scenario in which Elon wanted a bit of extra wiggle room, wanted to sell his DOGE, but inflate the price a bit beforehand.

I just don't see the "for the lulz" approach, but then again, I don't understand a lot of what he does.
