Bitcoiners who sabotaged doggie coin also sabotaged Bitcoin. Doggie coin offered later adopters a chance to profit so they wouldn't be psychologically driven away from cryptocurrency by sunk cost fallacy. A lot of Bitcoiners were like "it's fine if we drive everyone away from cryptocurrency as long as we pretend Bitcoin isn't a cryptocurrency and Satoshi Nakamoto was just wrong to call it one." I enjoy reading about Bitcoiners frustrated with Bitcoin's underperformance now
