Lots of hype for #dogetothemoon / #DogeSNL / #SHIB day with Elon Musk tonight but also a lot of skepticism from the folks who were burned from #Doge420 day. Will it be another bust?
Despite the disappointment, #420dogeday may have actually worked, in retrospect. Here's why:
A lot of #crypto fans know how to buy coins and they often take that for granted. For the non-technical person out there, setting up an account (especially since Coinbase doesn't support DOGE yet) isn't that easy. There's a learning curve involved with this stuff.
People also don't change their habits easily -- seeing the hype might get them interested but people have things to do and they're not going to jump in right away.
I'm thinking about my mom who bought a sizable amount of DOGE because she thought "it was cute" (is a better reason than most investors tbh -- at least she likes the product) but it took her a few weeks of thinking and trying before finally making the decision to put money in.
The short story is that these marketing blitzes take time, and you need a while for people to digest the information, especially when it comes to a complex product like crypto. If you were part of 420 Doge Day, don't feel bad about it -- you did your part. A little patience is all that's really needed, here. 🙂
