I'm even more amazed that there is demand for dogecoin then. I see the value of LTC and others but what is the USP of dogecoin?

It was created as a joke altcoin, but some people actually desire it. Most likely to flip it, or just to say they own some.

The doge brand is the USP. Most LTC clones are already largely undifferentiated, so this is actually a strong contender given it's technically almost identical to the rest.
