DOGE creator criticizes scammy tokens, referring to them as ”shit tokens”

In a thread of tweets, the DOGE creator criticizes scammy tokens, referring to them as ”shit tokens,” which he defines as ”any ‘meme’ token. anything that has no use case. any token that people spam on threads.”
He explains why Dogecoin needs to give up its meme status, saying, “There is already endless digital speculation and digital utility tokens and chains, and useless speculation tokens are being made daily. dogecoin is in the best position. to be the most used to buy and tip.”
He highlights how proponents can contribute to the Dogecoin project: ”You can contribute directly to the core code, you can contribute to one of the many projects the dogecoin foundation is spearheading. nothing stops you from helping the thing that you want to succeed. speculation has brought attention. work brings utility.”

In his words, the Dogecoin creator said he is going to just “keep bugging Twitter” as he believes that DOGE should be used for leaving a tip on Twitter.
