Isn’t that the point of dogecoin? A literal parody?
A parody isn't a scam.
A well-done parody would look much like a scam without digging into it and recognizing it as a parody.
It's a parody of a scam wherein you actually lose your money. It's a scam with a winky-face emoji.
By my standards everything including bitcoin is... They do not provide any meaningful solution. Or their value proposition is not real.
Maybe some might offer a valid case like anonymity, but very limited pool.
Dogecoin does do something different - it has ongoing tail inflation. Whether that is a good idea or not is debatable. But it does operate differently then btc.
