The co-creator of Dogecoin sold his coins to buy a Honda Civic. Now Dogecoin has a market capitalization that is higher than Honda.

Why? it doesn't matter. People decided to speculate over the money of Dogecoin, that's it. It doesn't matter that it is a cryptocurrency or that it is based on doge. People will speculate over anything if it's profitable. Frozen concentrated orange juice? Gamestop? Whatever, it doesn't matter.

Hah, frozen concentrated OJ? Someone's taking ideas from the 80's.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sENssnI9CGc&t=52

Actually, looking for a good clip from the movie it's depressing how many people are actually referencing that movie in context of this bubble.

> Frozen concentrated orange juice

Is this a movie reference? It reminds me of something, but I can’t say exactly what.
