There was definitely a point where it was fun and accessible. I played with it a few years ago, back when you could mine with a single GTX 660 and earn a dollar or two worth of coins a day. Then someone made a scheme where you could buy Doge via Reddit PM, or give it as tips on posts. This is much less intimidating than the contemporary Bitcoin story of "the cost of admission is hundreds of dollars and you have to go find someone sketchy local or a weirdly explained ATM thing to get coins". Yeah, there was some discussion of "when it gets to USD1", but it was mostly memes and "how do I get (favoured merchant) to take Doge?" I recall there was a fair degree of talk that it was a good 'instructional' platform-- learn the tools and concepts of cryptocurrency, but you're playing with trivial amounts of money.
