Never watched NASCAR until... Dogecoin!
During the All Star vote I posted a way to make voting more efficient. We dominated the vote so well, they changed the vote to a limit of 50 per user per day. Later they added captcha to slow the voting down. In the end we destroyed the contest, Josh Wise won with the largest vote total in the history of the contest and beat out the former winner Danica Patrick (winner of the previous two years) with 5 million votes to her 3 million votes. This win resulted in the second race (May 4th Talladega was the first) that the number 98 car was wrapped in the dogecoin theme. amaze.
We bought over 5,000 shirts from PPR (Phil Parsons Racing) to fully sponsor the second Talladega race this year, making this the third race this year to feature Dogecoin on the number 98 car. This car was not previously sponsored and helps bring an entirely new audience to NASCAR.
Here's the Talladega video that made us all very proud, the first time a sport with 74 million fans saw the future; digital currency:
The crew shirt replicas (I have one!) that sponsored the October 19th race at Talladega.
I believe in Bitcoin just as much, but Dogecoin is simply more fun to be a part of, I promise you there is enough room on the moon for everyone. Please join us! :)

This is from that podcast by a guy who has invested 50 million in bitcoin companies.
"ANDREESSEN: One of the things ... that’s been missing on the Internet for 20 years is kind of a native concept of money...The ability to very easily pay somebody online, the ability to very easily charge for a piece of content, the ability to very easily exchange a digital title, or a digital key, or a digital contract has just been missing because you have no mechanism for establishing trust. And so Bitcoin basically holds the promise of being the first solution to establishing trust over an untrusted network."
Hey Andreessen I use paypal. Also LOL establishing trust.

Why Everybody Who Doesn’t Hate Bitcoin Loves It: A New Freakonomics Radio Podcast
"The gist: thinking of Bitcoin as just a digital currency is like thinking about the Internet as just e-mail. Its potential is much more exciting than that.
Bitcoin is often described as “virtual gold” — as well as everything from a “bubble” to a “Ponzi scheme” to “a haven for individuals to buy black market items.” But what excites some people, like Silicon Valley veteran Marc Andreessen, is Bitcoin’s potential as a new technology that could underlie any number of transactions, well beyond the simple swapping of currency."

- Found this to be a nice primer for anyone unfamiliar with the concept, tech, etc.ideaist

@ukit
I've been wanting to explore the doge subreddit, and thanks to your mention of it, I joined. They just donated $25k to 4 Paws yesterday to provide service dogs for special needs children. I made a wallet and started tipping! Next step is to join a mining pool so I can do more. Thanks for everything :D
maybe one day we can tip each other here?

High volume because each Dogecoin is worth such a small amount.
I think it's more helpful to look at the total value of money being traded than the number of coins, right?
- read above quote maybe?ZOOP
- I understand what you're saying tho, it's right there brohamZOOP
- $212M traded in 24 hours from a total of $60M loool! ever seen anything like that before, ever? :DZOOP
- Wow, that does seem crazy.ukit2

Dogecoin Is One Step Closer to Being Real Money
"generosity has led to the seven-week-old Dogecoin becoming, far and away, the most widely traded virtual currency in the world."
"Canadian electronic currency exchange Vault of Satoshi announced that it will now support Dogecoin, making it far easier to convert the currency into U.S dollars."
" According to BitInfoCharts.com, dogecoins with the equivalent of $212,500,000 USD were traded over the past 24 hours. To give a sense of how ridiculous that transaction volume is, the total value of every dogecoin in existence is only around $60,300,000."
