I recently came across a piece of data that was quite shocking—the circulating supply of Dogecoin increased by 16 billion coins this week. No typo, I mean "billion."
This guy's design architecture is just like that, infinite issuance. Every year, billions of new coins are mined and dumped into the market. I’ve been pondering this, and it’s a bit frightening: if something can be created almost infinitely, doesn’t your share always get diluted?
Let me give an analogy: it’s like guarding a water tank with a hole at the bottom. No matter how hard you pour water in, the water level won’t rise—because it’s leaking wildly from the other end. In the long run, this kind of design is a negative-sum game for coin holders.
Thinking of this, I suddenly feel fortunate. I’ve long moved assets that aim for "value preservation" and "steady growth" into something with a completely opposite operational logic: over-collateralized stablecoins.
Products like USDDA operate on the core mechanism of "over-collateralization + anchoring." Every circulating coin is backed by higher-value assets (like BTC, TRX), with the collateral ratio publicly on-chain. It’s not just printing money out of thin air, but tied to real collateral.
In simple terms, while Dogecoin’s infinite issuance dilutes your rights, these stablecoins are backed by real assets with actual gold or other tangible guarantees. One is a "fiat" style continuous devaluation, the other is a "gold" style value anchoring.
There are too many assets in the market with clever designs but flawed mechanisms. Instead of passively accepting dilution, it’s better to actively choose a more robust underlying logic. That’s the approach I’m taking now.

16 billion tokens? That's freaking outrageous, feels like racing against time.
Dogecoin should have figured it out long ago—no matter how clever the infinite issuance trick is, it's just digging a hole for itself.
Collateralized stablecoins are indeed stable, but they lack explosive growth. At least you can sleep peacefully.

Dogecoin's unlimited issuance is truly incredible; holders are being exploited to the fullest.
160 billion in a week? This must be to harvest the retail investors.
The pool with a bottom opening is a perfect analogy; such a damn design.
Fortunately, I got out early. Now I only watch for over-collateralization and similar issues.
Stablecoins are the real king; having asset backing makes a huge difference.
A printing press versus real gold and silver—it's obvious which one to choose.
I will never touch this kind of unlimited issuance again.

16 billion tokens? Who can handle that? It feels like a suicidal issuance.

The unlimited issuance of Dogecoin is really outrageous. Who can withstand it?
---
160 billion coins dumped in a week. How much dilution does that cause for people's holdings?
---
The analogy of water leaking from the bottom is spot on. It made me a bit anxious.
---
We should have recognized the reality long ago. This kind of coin can't really hold its value.
---
So in the end, you still need to find something with real backing; otherwise, it's just playing around.
---
The comparison between paper money and gold is truly eye-opening. I'm waking up to it later and later.
---
It seems I need to switch to stablecoins, which is definitely more comfortable than constant dilution.
---
There are so many pitfalls in the market; you still need to stay sharp when choosing assets.
---
The fate of holding coins is to be constantly diluted unless you change your approach.
---
This logic makes sense, but the problem is most people simply can't react in time.

Dogecoin is really just a faucet, constantly flowing out. Some people are still dreaming.
