    The Dogecoin community wants to help the Jamaican bobsleigh team get to Sochi, and there is a donation up! http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/1virfc/lets_send_the_jamaican_bobsled_team_to_the_winter/ I hope we will see a lot more of this in the coming years, people who have earned big on cryptocurrency and who ends up helping others with some of their earnings.

    Seriously, you people are nuts. Bitcoin was bad enough, now any half-wit with a web browser can go create "currencies".

    It's going to be hilarious seeing the inevitable fall and a bunch of dumbfounded dipshits standing around saying "whu happened?!"

    And yes, I know some people have made real money. I hear pyramid schemes often start out that way.
