How is Dogecoin different from other cryptocurrencies?

For starters, Dogecoin seems to be only cryptocurrency that was started as a joke. With a meme as its mascot and center of attention, Dogecoin is the one cryptocurrency that doesn’t take itself too seriously, unlike nearly all the others.

On the consumer front, while other cryptocurrencies charge you for transactions like spending or remittance, Dogecoin charges you significantly lesser than the other cryptocurrencies. This is due to the low value of an individual token.

Dogecoin has also built a reputation as a tipping system of sorts, with sites like Reddit using the Dogetipbot or other services via which users can tip others in Dogecoins.
