What’s Impacting DOGE?

Dogecoin surged over 4% in the past week, ranking among the top large-cap cryptocurrencies in this period. Bitcoin and Ethereum trailed DOGE, as shown below.

Additionally, Elon Musk confirmed that X Money, the hotly awaited payments service for his social media company X, will begin early public access next month.

And while Musk made no mention of Dogecoin—which he’s hyped in the past—the memecoin still surged on the announcement.

Dogecoin’s official X account, meanwhile, emphasized that the cryptocurrency is no longer just a speculative asset, stating, “Doges chase frisbees, not hype.”

The ‘Bitcoin Is Going To Die’ Argument

Howard cited Bitcoin’s continued dependence on fiat currency as a fatal flaw. 

“Bitcoin is still based on fiat,” Howard said, arguing that as the U.S. dollar weakens, any asset tethered to its value framework remains exposed.

“Nobody wants their money in something that can be wiped out with a push of a button somewhere,” Howard said. 

He holds less than 1% of his portfolio in Bitcoin and frames that as a ceiling, not a floor.

Howard’s framework positions dollar collapse leading to metals surge and crypto irrelevance. 

This puts him squarely against the Bitcoin-as-digital-gold crowd at a moment when both assets compete for the same…
