Also, in 2014, they were the first major e-retailer to accept Bitcoin for purchases which were made on the Newegg platform. Also, Newegg are among the first to make it possible for customers to pay with Dogecoin when they are shopping online.

Dogecoin recently warned:  “If someone asks you to send money before you can receive money, you’re likely dealing with a scam. Please stay safe, shibes, and carefully research sites and services you have not used before.”

Also expressed, For real though guys keep some rationality when gambling on highly volatile assets like cryptocurrency. Euphoria is a helluva drug, but y’know, at least keep paying your bills and feeding your family and have a safe rainy day fund. Stay Safe.  Be Smart.

In response one of the DOGE holders stated, My Dogecoin are now worth almost as much as my rainy day fund and I only spent about $170 on Doge. Highly volatile… e.g. +1800%?
