- thunky 4y agoYes because we all know the only way to raise money is via shitcoins. I learned that by watching Cool Runnings.
- afarrell 4y agoAs noted elsewhere, most of the money wasn't transferred via dogecoin. But reasonable financial transaction systems don't attract the advertising attention that this was able to. Does that make it a good financial system? To the degree that a clown car is a good public transport system.
