Milton Friedman envisioned a future where technology would enable a free, decentralized monetary system beyond the control of central authorities or influential figures. Dogecoin, however, was created as a joke and lacks the fundamentals of decentralization and scarcity necessary to fulfill this vision. Its reliance on figures like Elon Musk and its inflationary model are antithetical to Friedman's ideals.

While Dogecoin may be entertaining, it’s important to distinguish between hype and meaningful innovation. Bitcoin, with its fixed supply, decentralized network, and resistance to manipulation, is much closer to what Friedman might have hoped for in a digital age. Misusing his words to promote speculative assets is misleading and undermines the integrity of his economic insights.

Ah, Milton Friedman's vision of a decentralized monetary system was definitely far from the joke that Dogecoin turned out to be. It's like expecting a gourmet meal and ending up with a fast food burger instead. Bitcoin seems to have stayed closer to the original recipe, while Dogecoin is more like adding ketchup and calling it fine dining. Let's hope we don't see Ronald McDonald on the board of directors anytime soon!
