And my response.A. \u201cIt started out as a joke. Therefore, we can\u2019t take it seriously now.\u201dThis is actually a fallacy known as the \u201cgenetic fallacy.\u201d You can\u2019t discredit or invalidate something merely because of its origins. For example, if I discover a scientific theory in my dreams, that doesn\u2019t by itself mean that the discovery is false or not useful.And just because something started out as a mere joke, that doesn\u2019t mean it remains a mere joke.B. \u201c There\u2019s an infinite supply of Dogecoin!\u201dWell, first off, it depends on what you mean by \u201cinfinite.\u201d If by \u201cinfinite,\u201d you mean over an infinite time frame, then you\u2019d be right. But then the objection loses its force. If you mean over a finite time, you\u2019re just wrong.Also, Dogecoin being slightly inflationary\/disinflationary would seem to be an argument in its favor, because that\u2019s what you want with a medium of exchange. Because that\u2019s what it is: disinflationary. The inflation rate of Doge goes down over time. So, it\u2019s not like Zimbabwe\u2019s currency.C. \u201cThere\u2019s no cap on the limit of Dogecoins!\u201dAgain, there\u2019s a difference between no cap and something like Zimbabwe. While there\u2019s no cap, which would make it more deflationary like Bitcoin, that doesn\u2019t mean anything goes. There\u2019s only a certain amount of Dogecoins that can be introduced in any given year, even though there\u2019s no lifetime cap.D. \u201cDogecoin paints a bad picture of other, more serious cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin\u201dThis is a question-begging (a.k.a. \u201ccircular\u201d) argument. It assumes, rather than demonstrates, that Dogecoin is not worth our time.E. \u201cEven one of the founders of Dogecoin is perplexed by what is going on with Dogecoin\u2019s price!\u201dThis is like a 2 for 1 logical fallacy deal. Someone not understanding something is not an argument against something. That\u2019s a fallacious argument from ignorance or incredulity.
