DOGE coin is easy to mine then Bitcoin Due to nature of Algorithm and Difficulty. And Dogecoin per block value is still 250000 but Bitcoin is 25, Usually people brain is working on more instead of value. That is why u can see Quality always suffer in front of Quantity.

As per calculations and team of Dogecoin there estimate is atleast $1 / coin , with that calculation whoever have more will get more.

that makes as much sense as using admin-controlled click bots to 'chew up' ad impressions that advertisers paid admins' real money for in order to have 'real' people click on ads. and admins wonder why they cannot attract legitimate advertisers instead of the incestous practice of hawking their own referral links at other PTC sites.

or to rent admin-controlled bots as "human" referrals when few if any would either; 1.) click all the ads available which could be expected of real people trying to earn as much as possible in order to to cash out or build capital to also rent referrals, or 2.) click the minimum number ads every day needed to at least meet the qualifications to earn on all the clicks made by their referrals -- who would normally be following behaviour #1. Surely to (whichever higher authority you subscribe to) real human participants at least would be intelligent enough to understand either one of those behavior parameters, if not both... it is not that many steps above remembering to breath.

And before someone spouts off about rented referrals getting discouraged about the paltry earnings they receive by clicking... yest that could and does happen but  their behaviour should be predictable up to that point (either #1 or #2) and the vast majority would simply leave... never to return... not log in 10 days later and only click 1 ad.

Blatantly deceptive, if not outright fraudulent behaviour at the very least, on the part of some PTC administrators ...those that their members trust with their money and in some cases entire financial future.
