DogeCoin To the Moon Via a Google Lunar X PRIZE Team 35
anzha (138288) writes "After sponsoring a NASCAR racer, DogeCoin's community has wondered, 'What next?' The answer is literally 'To The Moon!' RevUp Render is sponsoring a DogeCoin promoting micro rover challenge, the Lunar Iditarod. The micro rovers, called DogeSleds, are the size of an smart phone and will be first qualified and then raced here on Earth. The top three competitors will be placed on a Google Lunar X PRIZE team's lunar lander to conduct a short, nine meter race on the moon itself. Registration opens on May 21st and closes July 31st for the first race. The first quarterly race will take place September 5th through September 7th. The event will be public and in the San Francisco Bay Area. All teams, international and American, are welcome, but be forewarned, all fees are in...dogecoin!"

Dogecoiners know their Internet Fux Bux are dumb but they revel in that and have fun with them. And frankly that attitude of fun and looking for weird shit to do with them means the community isnt abunch of unbearable idiots either - right here is how you build a community and also a future. I can actually see Dogecoin becomming much bigger just simply because of the attitudes of the users. Hey lets fuck around with our Fun Bux goes a long way in making their crypocurrency acceptible. It's not a misguided political statement, they completely realize how absurd Bitcoin actually but they dont care - and even use pointing out how absurd it is as a strong point.
Good on them.

As ridiculous as the meme is, I feel Dogecoin has done more for cryprocurrency acceptance and awareness in the last 5 months than Bitcoin has done in the last 5 years.
