you don't buy or sell based on what the general populace thinks. The fact that there was a reddit dedicated to trying to get doge to a dollar was the cue for everyone to start buying.
It's not only Elon that's causing these shifts. There was a point before any of this shyt that doge was a sub-cent commodity
Doge has always been a meme breh and pump and dumpers have always used Doge. It wouldn't have gotten to where it is without it being mentioned by Cuban and Elon. Lets not try and rewrite what happen, Doge is still a meme, and it isn't gaining in value because it all of a sudden has some kind of use case. If Elon goes on SNL and calls for everyone to sell Doge guess what is going to happen.
