BREAKDOWN: Is Dogecoin at $0.58 a Triump...

COINDESK
About this episode

As doge soars 45% in a day, the question of how to interpret its success is more pertinent than ever.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, NEAR.org and Genesis Trading.

NLW asked his Twitter followers about what the success of dogecoin meant to the crypto industry. He got an extremely diverse set of takes. Some see it as a triumph of crypto’s uncontrollability. Some see it as a triumph of the underlying bitcoin tech working on a forked chain that hasn’t had much maintenance in years. 

Others see it as a damning indictment of the market as a whole; something that shows what a joke the whole industry is. 

Which is it? Can it be both?
