Dogecoin vs. Bitcoin [INFOGRAPHIC]


Dogecoin vs. Bitcoin [INFOGRAPHIC]


Dogecoin vs. Bitcoin [INFOGRAPHIC]


Dogecoin vs. Bitcoin compared in a beautiful infographic for you. Dogecoin started out as a joke in 2013. Now it has become a meme and a cryptocurrency that is tearing up the altcoin charts.


The story goes that it was a partnership between a marketer in Sydney, Australia and a developer in Portland, Oregon that gave birth to Dogecoin. The meme that became a coin took off like a rocket on Reddit and spawned several subreddits too. It is currently (as of 1/28/2014) #6 by market cap on coinmarketcap.com’s “Crypto-Currency Market Capitalizations.”


There are some distinct similarities and differences when it comes to Dogecoin vs. Bitcoin. Dogecoin’s algorithm is Scrypt whereas Bitcoin’s is SHA256. Max coins ever to be mined is 100,000,000,000 DOGE vs. abpout 24,000,000 for BTC. Block time is 60 Seconds vs. Bitcoin’s 10 minutes. The current block reward for miners in 1,000,000 DOGE vs. 25 BTC for miners.


Doge is traded on Cryptsy, Vicurex, CoinedUp, and a few other exchanges, as is BTC. Not bad for a brand new currency that was only launched on December 6, 2014.

Today we compare Bitcoin vs fiat currency in a handy infographic. The dollar amounts (USD) are vastly different (for now), but the breakdowns by percent of ownership is uncanny.


47 individuals own 28.9 percent of all the bitcoin in exsistence today. Another 880 own 21.5 percent and another 1 million have 20.7 percent of BTC. an estimated 492,000 bitcoins have been lost so far. What is shocking is that a versimilar percnetage of fiat currency wealth ownership in USD exists as well. It almost mirrors bitcoin percentage-wise when you look at the top 0.001 percent, 0.01 percent and bottom 99.9 percent of the world..

Social customer care and engagement [INFOGRAPHIC]


Social customer care and engagement [INFOGRAPHIC]


Social customer care and engagement [INFOGRAPHIC]


Social customer care and engagement is the theme for today’s new infographic. It was provided by Social Sprout from their “The Social Customer: Highlights from The Sprout Social Index” report. This in-depth report looks at over 160 million inbound messages from 20,000 brand Twitter accounts and Facebook pages. Data was collected from 15 different industries. Read on for the top 7 findings and recommendations.


Top 7 Findings:



  • Customers engaging with brands is definitely on the upswing.

  • User engagement is growing nine times faster than social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

  • When it comes to engaging with consumers, both the entertainment and utility industries are growing the most.

  • Engagement performance and response times vary from industry to industry. Business services and utilities have the shortest response times. Banking/finance and utilities have the highest response rates. The real estate industries could benefit the most being second-to-last in both response time and rate.

  • Overall response rates are dropping significantly and a whopping 80 percent of all customer inquiries go unanswered. This leaves much room for improvement as many adults have social media accounts and look to social for customer care.

  • On average brands receive 3 inbound requests per month from Twitter for every 2 they get from Facebook per 1000 fans or followers respectively.

  • Average response times to customer inquiries for brands are on the rise and needs to be addressed this year.


Top 7 Recommendations:



  • Build your social team to be responsive.

  • Include your most experienced customer-facing staff on the team.

  • Use the right software tools.

  • Determine which metrics are most important to your business and use them.

  • Make sure your replies are conversational not overly promotional.

  • Enable the appropriate departments inside your business to share tools and data.

  • Be careful about prioritizing certain customers above the rest. Hire additional resources to handle the volume.
