Why is encouraging people in such countries to use <some cryptocurrency> better than making the US Dollar more accessible to these people? If stability is the goal, I find it hard to accept that DogeCoin is the answer to the developing/third world's economic problems.

How is usd tho? Sure its more stable than bitcoin, but in the last months and years it relatively lost value to eur/chf when bitcoin only increased. Both solutions have issues however only one made holding money lucrative

I don't think DogeCoin is the answer to anything at all, tbh.

It was the answer to "how many people can I get in on this joke?" while playing around with litecoin.
