A reader comments on the latest Word of the Day, Cheems:
And then some fool invented a cryptocurrency based on that meme, Doge Coin.
It’s the sort of thing that sounds like an extended, distributed joke, doesn’t it? Algorithms then exaggerate the entire joke, giving someone quite the profit:
Someone held a lot of Dogecoin, no doubt, and waited patiently for the credulous “crypto-investing community” to discover or remember them. They sold out at or near the top of that peak.
I am glad I was on neither side of those trades.
