Since entering the market in September last year, it has been a roller coaster ride. The mindset back then was very simple—rather than waiting for a rebound and regretting not bottoming out, it’s better to buy in batches to lower the average cost. After two rounds of adjustments, the current average holding price is stuck at 1.8.

Although it has risen a bit recently and provides some relief, it still feels like the oppressive heat before the weather clears up. But from another perspective, Dogecoin, as one of the most popular projects in the digital currency market, indeed has strong resilience.

What’s most frustrating is that over the years, too many "dog-themed" derivative projects have emerged, with various variant coins constantly appearing, dispersing the popularity and capital flow of the original DOGE. How much of this is genuine innovation, and how much is just followers jumping on the bandwagon? Just thinking about it is quite regretful.

In my opinion, the authentic is authentic. The consensus and community foundation that DOGE has built over more than ten years are not easily replicable by newcomers. As long as you believe in this logic, there’s no reason to give up halfway. Keep holding what you have and let time prove it.

DOGE-1.39%

1. Holding onto the cost of 1.8 without letting go, I just like this momentum. Anyway, DOGE has already been a bloody lesson, and this time isn't different. 2. Those dog-themed derivative coins are really disgusting. One wave gets cut, and another follows, with funds flowing wastefully into trash projects. What a pity. 3. To be honest, the consensus of over ten years is indeed different. Although I complain and criticize, the resilience of established coins is still there. 4. Instead of fussing over these derivative trash coins, it's better to focus your energy on projects with real vitality. DOGE is just DOGE. 5. I understand the feeling of stuffiness; it's always uncomfortable before a rebound. But getting through this wave will bring gains. Believe it or not. 6. Orthodoxy will always defeat followers. The market will prove this in the end; time will tell.

The cost is 1.8, brother, your guts are really big, spreading it out like this... But to be honest, DOGE's ten-plus years of foundation truly can't be compared to those junk brands. Those dog-themed variant coins are just riding the hype. Hold on, hold on, time will tell.

1. The cost of 1.8 is indeed a bit painful, but this wave really relies on time to settle down. 2. Dog-themed coins are flying everywhere, really diluting doge. I should have just bought the original fundamentalist approach early on. 3. The guys still holding tightly now are either full of faith or have no choice because the cost is too high. 4. That's right, a consensus built over more than ten years can't be copied by a bunch of clone coins, but the premise is that doge needs to be taken seriously by the market again. 5. The most annoying are those shib, floki, and similar coins riding the hype, truly splitting the native liquidity. 6. Just getting some air and it rises a little? This feels worse than a drop, like being hung in the air without landing. 7. Just hold on if you have to, anyway it’s already fallen so much, the biggest regret is during the rebound. 8. Orthodoxy is orthodoxy, but the market doesn’t necessarily think so, and that’s the most heartbreaking part. 9. Two rounds of lowering the price, now it’s like putting all hopes on a rebound, a bit of a gamble. 10. The popularity of doge is there, but the heat is dispersed like this, doubling it up seems like a distant dream.

1. The cost of 1.8 has indeed been a bit of a hassle until now, but I have to say—faith is the most valuable thing in the crypto world. 2. That bunch of dog-themed derivative coins is really disgusting, they’ve completely siphoned off DOGE’s traffic, and it feels like the orthodox ones are being pushed into the corner. 3. Over ten years of consensus is not something to joke about, I agree on this point—time will tell. 4. At the 1.8 level, a small increase now would feel much better, much better than the initial agony. 5. Holding on is definitely the right move, anyway DOGE isn’t going to die, it’s just a matter of whether it can return to its rightful position. 6. The most annoying thing is really those copycat coins, they’ve made the market a mess. 7. Honestly, dollar-cost averaging is the smartest strategy in this market. 8. DOGE’s vitality is indeed resilient, much more reliable than those flashy projects. 9. Just hold tight, DOGE is supported by faith, unlike those air coins. 10. When the orthodox coins wake up, those copycat dog coins will be long forgotten.

1.8 spread out is still quite uncomfortable, but we are much better than those brothers chasing the high. Anyway, DOGE is just like that, whether it rises or not, we can survive. 2. To be honest, those dog-themed derivative coins are really annoying. The true consensus is only DOGE; others are just to cut leeks. 3. Just hold on tight, don't overthink it. Time will prove who persists until the end. 4. What else can we do with 1.8? Keep holding, anyway, it's already like this. 5. This feels like groping in the dark, but at least we are still here, unlike the group chasing the hot trend. 6. That bunch of derivative coins is really annoying, they have distracted the heat, DOGE should have been even more explosive. 7. The orthodox is orthodox, I agree with that. Things that have been around for more than ten years are indeed different. 8. It's just a bet on community consensus, betting that DOGE can survive until the end. If you don't believe it, what else can you do?

1. The 1.8 cost really got stuck, I’m also averaging at this level, now just waiting for time to redeem. 2. That bunch of dog coins is really disgusting, too many trash riding the hype, distracting all the attention. 3. Doge is just Doge, everything else is imitation, nothing to compare. 4. Tinkering back and forth has this result, might as well have just held a heavy position from the start. 5. Agree that the orthodox is the strongest, community consensus is something newcomers really can't learn. 6. Hold tight to what you have... no other way, anyway I’ve already jumped in. 7. It’s comfortable when it rises a bit now, but I’m afraid of another round of plunge. 8. Too many derivative coins riding the hype, the original vitality is instead being consumed. 9. Stick to the end, if you don’t believe in evil, you can still get your money back. 10. A cost of 1.8, how much psychological pressure, I admire your willpower.

The 1.8 cost is indeed a bit painful, but to be honest, these miscellaneous dog coins are really annoying, like vampires. Just stick with Doge, I don't touch any of those other things. Hold on to it, anyway, it's not like losing a few months makes a difference. A bunch of shitcoins popping up to ride the hype, it's really ridiculous. I get the idea of a 1.8 bottom, let's see if it can turn a profit later.

Hold on to the cost of 1.8 and don't let go. This is the true test of faith. That bunch of dog-themed miscellaneous armies is indeed annoying, draining traffic like vampires. DOGE's ten-year heritage is right there, everything else is just illusions. Let's wait and see, time will tell.

1. The 1.8 cost is still okay, and this price has long since recouped the investment. It's just disgusting to be annoyed by that group of dog-themed miscellaneous armies. 2. Dogecoin is just Dogecoin. Forcing it to spawn a bunch of trivial projects is really annoying. 3. Honestly, consensus is not that easy to replicate. DOGE has the confidence to do so. 4. The idea of spreading out costs is not wrong, but the waiting process is indeed quite tough. 5. Being distracted by heat is the most annoying. Super Dog, Rocket Dog, and a bunch of trash coins riding the hype are disgusting. 6. If you entered at 1.8, it should have already taken off by now. By the way, are you still holding? 7. This feels like hitting the bottom. Although it's recovering now, it's still not satisfying enough. 8. There's a real reason why Dogecoin has been popular for so many years. Unlike those trend-following coins that die in two months. 9. Hold on tight to what you have; anyway, time is on the side of long-term holders. 10. The matter of derivative coins is really hard to describe. They have diluted the original authentic stuff.
