Official United States Dollarydoos

The icon of Doug's Channel Points. It is also known as Dollarydoos, DYD, or D.

"What I have learned as a streamer is that for some reason, people care the most about Channel Point bets. The stream being entertaining, or being supportive, or having fun, literally **ANYTHING else is secondary** to gambling fake channel points for some reason.

That is so deranged to me and I continue to not understand it." -DougDoug 2023

## Description

**Doug's Channel Points** are the Channel Points used on the DougDoug Twitch Channel. They are a fictional currency that can be used to redeem a variety of things such as playing a sound effect, making fart noises, converting to Oxygen, etc.

They are extremely treasured by Twitch Chat, even though it is a fictional currency, and are very emotionally invested in the Twitch predictions as if it were real money. This has caused Chat to become **cripplingly addicted** to both Channel Points and gambling.

As with all Twitch Channel Points, there is a variety of ways to obtain them. Most notably, watching a stream, participating in a Twitch Raid, going on a Watch Streak, following a creator, and the most well-known in this community, Twitch Predictions (see below sections).

## Naming System

Currently, Doug's Channel Points are referred to as Official United States Dollarydoos, although the name has changed greatly over the years. as seen in the below sections.

### Name History

* **Official United States Dollarydoos**
* Official United States Dollars
* Jake Cakes
* Bezos Pesos

### Currency Acronym

For the sake of not having to type out "Official United States Dollarydoos" in every single reference to channel points, the wiki will be using the terms "Dollarydoos" and "DYD", which stands for DougDoug Dollarydoos, or just Dollarydoos. A letter D with a Strikethrough or "~~D~~" can also be used to denote Dollarydoos.

## Conversion to USD

There does exist a way to convert USD into DYD. The most common way to earn Channel Points is by watching a Twitch stream for a certain amount of time. The average Twitch viewer gains 220 DYD per hour. If we convert this to the Washington State minimum wage of $15.74, we get a conversion of 13.977 DYD = 1 USD, and 1 DYD = 0.072 USD.

## Predictions / Gambling

There are times where Doug will setup a Twitch Prediction. This allows Twitch viewers to essentially gamble on things such as "Will Doug beat 25 Mario Maker 2 Levels in 1 Life?" with options such as YES or NO. Viewers would be able to put Channel Points into an option, and if that option won, they would gain money, but if that option lost, they would lose money.

Over the years, Twitch Chat has gained a **crippling gambling addiction**, often erupting into Pog Emotes when Doug talks about starting a prediction. They have developed a divide of people within the Chat. These are the Believers, who believe that something will happen, regardless of the likelihood, and the Doubters, who do not think that something will happen, and are likely doubters because it is more probable that it wont actually happen.

The believers and doubters are a most prominent factor when Doug is playing an extremely hard gaming challenge, such as in the "How I beat the Hardest (and Dumbest) GTA 5 Challenge Ever Made" video, with the believers losing constantly, but still believing as they believe doubting is just solely looking for the best way to gain money, regardless of actual opinion, and that all believers must have faith in Doug.

## Current Redeemables

The following is a list of redeemable actions that you can purchase with Channel Points. They vary wildly from price and the effects given after purchasing them. They are in ascending order of cheapest to most expensive.

### General

* "Unlock a random Sub Emote" (~~D~~420) - Unlocks a random emote that would normally be locked to Twitch subscribers.
* "Choose an Emote to unlock" (~~D~~950) - Just like the earlier emote unlock, but you choose it instead of it being random.
* "Modify a single Emote" (~~D~~1,000) - Just like the second emote unlock, except you can modify it. The specifics are currently unknown.

### Misc.

* "Buy nothing. Just waste your money" (~~D~~2,500) - Literally does nothing.
* "Get access to the Minecraft Server" (~~D~~25,000) - Gives the buyer permanent access to The Minecraft Server.

### Sound Effects

* "Play Sound: TF2 Fail" (~~D~~50,000) - Plays this sound effect on stream. This is used by Chat if Doug or an opposing side has failed a task, and they want to rub it in their face.
* "Play Sound: Alarm Wee Woo" (~~D~~50,000) - Plays this sound effect on stream. This is used by Chat when they want to sound an alarm that something bad is happening, or if they just want to spam annoying sounds.
* "Play Sound: Laugh Track" (~~D~~50,000) - Plays this sound effect on stream. This is used by Chat when something hilarious just happened, and they want to emphasize how funny it is.
* "Play Sound: Congrats Doug" (~~D~~75,000) - Plays a sound effect on stream. This is used by Chat if Doug and/or somebody else had succeeded in something, and they want to emphasize their congrats.

### Substances

* "10% chance to summon Billy Mays" (~~D~~50,000) - Has a 10% chance of playing a full Zorbeez commercial which Doug cannot pause or skip.
* "Open the Fart Gates" (~~D~~250,000) - The same as the "Old Open the Fart Gates" redeemable in the Historical Redeemables, but the cost has been increased to ~~D~~250,000.

### Vladimir Lenin

* "Doug steals Vladimir Lenin's body from Moscow" (~~D~~50,000,000) - Little information is known about this, as it was added very recently, and the description for it says nothing.

What can be presumed is that Doug will attempt to break into Lenin's Mausoleum in the Russian city of Moscow, in order to steal the dead body of the famous Communist dictator, Vladimir Lenin.

How Doug will do this is unknown, as it would be difficult for him to enter Russia, given the US has deeply advised all citizens to NOT travel there, and that living there is **highly discouraged** (due to political reasons). There is also the fact that stealing Lenin's body is 100% certainly illegal, and he will be imprisoned for attempting it ... if he gets caught.

## Historical Redeemables

### Sound Effects

* "Old Farts 2-7" (~~D~~2) - There were 7 fart options in total, 6 of which are priced at ~~D~~2, labelled 2-7. They play 6 different fart sound effects. These were only redeemable every 10 Minutes. These fart versions were redeemable a short time after the Fartocracy Revolution.
* "Old Fart 1" (~~D~~3) - The only fart option that is priced at ~~D~~3. It was also only redeemable every 10 Minutes.
* "Older Farts 2-7" (~~D~~2) - This option was only redeemable in the age of the Wredenian Fartocracy, after a Fart Baron had become a Fartyr to open the Fart Gates. The difference between the old and new fart redeemables is that there was no 10 Minute time limit whatsoever.
* "Older Fart 1" (~~D~~3) - The same as the new one, except there's no 10 Minute time limit.
* "You're Lousy" (Unknown Price) - Plays this sound effect. This was used by Chat as a sort of taunt against their opponents whenever they played in a competition.

### Other

* "Old Open the Fart Gates" (~~D~~100,000) - Allows people to purchase up to 7 different Fart options, priced around ~~D~~2. The person who opened the Fart Gates would be banned for 1 million seconds (11.57 days) by the All-Farter (AKA Doug).
* "Close the Fart Gates" (~~D~~25,000) - Closes the Fart Gates, blocking off the peasant's access to cheap farts.
* "Zorbeez" (~~D~~10,000,000) - Is guaranteed to play a Zorbeez commercial.
* "Convert into Oxygen" (~~D~~500) - Converted Channel Points into Oxygen. It is no longer redeemable because the Oxygen Bank had crashed, due to too many people redeeming it and cashing in all at once.

### Declaration of Independence

* "Doug steals the Declaration of Independence" (~~D~~50,000,000) - According to Doug, he will do exactly as this redeemable says. One day, Chat will finally reach 50 million Dollarydoos and Doug will steal the United States Declaration of Independence. Doug has also said that he will finally reveal if he is a Big James or a Small James. This redeemable could cause the end of Doug's channel, if he is caught. But it will all be worth it to find out if he really is a Big James.
