Dogecoin On The Web
Dogecoin Foundation Director Timothy Stebbing told his Twitter followers not to “invest” in Dogecoin as a “speculative asset.”
Please don't 'invest' in dogecoin as a speculative asset, we're building the future of currency: A decentralized form of money that can be regulated by govts (laws) but not manipulated by them (brrrr). Educate yourself before putting your hard earned into anything.
