It's definitely not 128k coins. When it was first created it was notable for having such a huge supply of coins that people could have silly fun with it and not care about the 'value' of it. That hasn't remained true, but it was the initial idea behind it, a joke coin people could give tons of coins to other people to for pennies.

Too many whales in dogecoin that want to keep a lid on it. It's meant to be used for charity and community building. Sometimes you can play the run and use derivatives to short it on the way down. Easier plays than this though.

There is no way that's true because I mined and then lost 81k dogecoins because I reformatted my computer.

Total volume of dogecoin is ~128 billion coins, not 128k.

That is a heck of a decimal point error on my part. Thanks for the correction.
