The key moment of bubble insanity for me was overheating the security screeners at Heathrow talking about how they just signed up for “this new app called CoinBase” which was going to make them all rich.

Yeah I knew it was time to get out when my neighbor's dog started telling me about this hot new ICO.

I was suprised to hear someone mention DOGE's market cap was over 500 million.

Compared to a lot of other coins, DOGE has been around for a long time and basically counts as an established, respectable institution. It had a very active community, it sponsored a racecar. And unlike most coins, it has a very concise and transparent value proposition of why it's different than the million other coins on the market. That value proposition being "lol memes," which... isn't a scam, at least.
