44: Dogecoin, Meme Culture, and Intrinsic Value

We've had more questions on Dogecoin in the last week, than about Bitcoin in the last 4 years of our life. It was inevitable that we needed to cover this topic on the podcast. Fundamentally, we think the value of Dogecoin is driven by meme culture, the same forces that took GME (GameStop) to astronomical heights. So what, if any is the intrinsic value of Dogecoin, and what does that even mean anyway? These questions and more are explored in this episode.
