This is more a mania with dogecoin. Of course set off by robinhood traders and elon musk tweets.

blame musk all you want, he knows doge is a joke and treated it as such. same for doge creator. there's simply so much money looking to be put to work that people throw it around to see what sticks.

i don't believe that anyone trading doge isn't aware this is a ponzi. the only question may be if it's by design or by accident.

or maybe memes have value after all...
