I’ve said this from the start: I would like DOGE to do well, but much more important to me is that the community is a force for good.

I don’t “own” Dogecoin. My stake is quite small for a creator.

I’m just the guy who happened to make it, who will tell you things as they are.

I’m not a crypto shill. There are cool things happening in this space, but the valuations aren’t related to that. They are just people speculating. Always have been.

It’s important to me that people understand what they are getting into. Education is important in this space.

Perhaps someday people will buy crypto for the utility and we will see the true impact of it. Since 2009 though, it has been an unregulated financial playground of psychology and sentiment. Confirmation bias, hindsight bias, anchoring bias, optimism bias, etc. all rule the space.

Either way, if you want to make a bet on crypto, that’s fine. Just be responsible for your own decisions. The information and history is all available. The space is overall more mature, but the BS has been more or less the same since 2009. Research, learn. Nothing is guaranteed.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Happy doge day. If you read all that, I will rewarded you with this gif:
