I can see where you're coming from and kind of agree, but I'm cool with all the new altcoins popping up. I think it helps to legitimise the whole concept and shift it from a fringe movement to a more mainstream idea.

While I understand your frustration with Dogecoin, I think it's power (other than not taking itself too seriously) is that it's extremely liquid. It means you see it move around a lot more and can be generally used in place of karma/upvotes (which aren't really worth anything).

Ultimately I encourage all of this experimentation. I feel that entirely new economic paradigms will emerge from all of this if we let it.

Who knows where it's all going to end up, hopefully somewhere none of us can predict.
