“Dogecoin has proven itself to be money. Here’s why. First, what is money? The short answer is that money is as money does. More specifically, money is a medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value that helps people trade for goods and services. For any money, it is important to define exactly where it is a medium of exchange. My Turkish lira have little value outside of sentiment for me here in Irvington, NY. But in Turkey, I can exchange those pieces of paper for nearly anything. So, where is Dogecoin money? Right here on the internet. DOGE (shorthand symbol for Dogecoin) has spontaneously emerged as the internet’s tipping currency.”
