So it's because it looks better? You could always say "here, have 500 Satoshis". https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi
Here's 5400 Satoshi, actually. There's a dust limit to prevent micro cent spamming.
so here in my hand I have a $100 bill. How do I turn it into Dogecoin??

Well, if you literally mean cash in hand, you're going to have to do a bit of work. Much like with other crypto coins, you can sometimes find a local person who will do an in-person exchange[1]. Otherwise, you can use something like the dogemarket subreddit[2] to do an exchange using Paypal, Google Wallet, etc. Another option is to link a bank account to a service like Vault of Satoshi[3] and make a USD/Doge trade th…
Edit: the most challenging part would be going to a bank to deposit the physical Franklin, if the end user didn't have a fiat in an account already.

Curious as to why you didn't jut say "you can directly buy Dogecoin for $100 USD on a website called Vault of Satoshi." Instead, you opened up your longwinded response with "doing a bit of work" and other mumbo jumbo, leaving the direct answer as a marginal note at the end (just "another option" in your words.)

All that having been said, _I'm_ a bit curious why you felt the need to bitch about someone giving a detailed answer. I wonder at the intellect that labels four sentences as long-winded.

The thing I don't understand, though... why not just use bitcoin to do it? It was BTC that found a way "to send really small amounts of money through the internet". No need to invent a niche. To me it looks like the ones using dogecoin don't want to think of it as money, but just some other form of internet points like karma.
You can't send really small amount of Bitcoin, there is a cutoff to stop you "spamming" the network unless you also send a fee. Also the mission statement of Bitcoin and Dogecoin are different. Bitcoin is looking to replace world currency transactions by a secure peer-to-peer distributed network resistant to external attack through utilization of blah blah blah snooze. Dogecoin is going to the moon.
Right, and Dogecoin is very quickly going to run up against the problems associated with a many-gigabyte blockchain.

Bitcoin is terrifying to someone who has read stories of hacks and theft for a few years as an outsider, so "The one that no one takes seriously yet" is comforting.

Both are using Bootstrap with what appears to be a theme similar to the Bootstrap's own site. Looks like less of a case of one copying the other, and more of both copying the default bootstrap site.
They both use the same 'Flatty' free bootstrap theme http://www.blacktie.co/demo/flatty/
Look at the CSS, it's ridiculous.

If you are being sarcastic, I am missing it. If in the end of the day both can buy the same thing, why should I care how big or how small the numbers are?
Because you're human, and humans are irrationally attracted to larger numbers through anchoring and other effects.

Cryptocurrency is not in a state ready for mainstream adoption.
