This is an absolutely unfounded assumption but one could think a large part of those transactions might be some sort of tips. I can confess I'm happy to have some supply of a very cheap currency that I can give to people for fun. I have no use for DOGE other than this, but my friends and I are enjoying it.
Pollution created through the mining of relatively worthless items can be an issue though.
- dangero 13y agoThis is absolutely the source of the transactions. When you consider that no other crypto currency has a mass appeal use at this point, it makes sense that the transactions would be higher for DOGE than any other. Conversely, The primary use of Bitcoin is value storage.
- Blahah 13y agoAn alternative source of the transactions is dust (people sending tiny transactions as a way to increase the size of the blockchain - an attack on the currency).
