Well, it definitely sounds very funny to try and compare doge coin to bitcoin. But, people who laughed out loud at bit coin in 2009 bit their tongues in 2017. As many people say today, doge coin is just a way to move funds and that is all to it. It is a joke they say.
I remember i read an article where some one did a forecast on doge coin reaching $78,123.00 in 2022. hahaha. I really pitied this guy for voicing out his predictions. The amount of insults and sarcasm he earned himself for this was just too much to bare by anyone. Perhaps you should take a look https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2610568.0

- has a very good community
- has the potential of becoming the digital dollar as it could be used for retail purposes and many other advantages, don't you think that these features could also propel it to success? from what i have realized, anything that can add value to humanity has the potential of becoming very valuable.
But lets look at the possibilities.
- Is there a possibility that dogecoin supply could be limited?
- what if doge coin actually becomes a digital dollar, will it's demand not sky rocket?
- Technology is making anything and everything almost possible, what if there rises a new use for doge coin?
conclusion
My conclusion is simple. I would rather throw away $63 today in the name of dogecoin, than ask my self in five or ten years why I save ONLY $63 for all these years.
My answer to the title of this post is YES it has the potential. How about you?
