If you're bored and want to see receipts for a decent number of them, check out https://old.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/

Current favorite whipping targets are Safemoon and Doge.



/r/Buttcoin has been about as bad smelling their own farts over the years as the Bitcoin subreddit has.

The occasional blog post by long-time critics (Gerard et al) is the only thing of value you can find there.


Safemoon I'd say could definitely qualify (although I could see this one coming back with a vengeance eventually), but Doge is a perennial favorite with a long history and I think it's perfectly reasonable to invest in that one with the expectation that you'll most likely make some decent returns in ~5 years.

I'm also a dog parent to a Shiba Inu so I feel like I must own some Doge, so I might be a bit biased.


We can argue about "reasonable to invest" but it's certainly true that Doge is perhaps the original memecoin and it's unlikely there can be a rug-pull the way other coins do.

It's likely that selling at .70 was the way to go (give those bags to someone else) however, could be a long time until it returns there.


I agree it's probably not getting back up to .70 anytime soon, and we might not see the insane price increases it had earlier this year again, but I do expect long-term it could be good to get (and I do have some myself), despite the only thing it really has going for it is Elon tweets and the meme factor.


Don't forget Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), which tries to replace the Internet but is also based on it.


The price of ICP immediately following the listing on Coinbase should have been the signal to exit the current market cycle for anyone paying attention.
