About DOGE

What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Dogecoin is an open-source digital currency based on blockchain technology that enables users to make fast and cheap payment transfers in a decentralized, peer-to-peer format. DOGE is the native cryptocurrency of the Dogecoin network.

Dogecoin uses a Shiba Inu - a Japanese breed of dog, as its mascot, which had previously shot to fame by being used in several memes shared on the internet. As a result, the Dogecoin crypto is called a meme coin, a joke-based cryptocurrency that originated from online memes.

Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer created the DOGE coin as a joke as a fork from the Litecoin blockchain network. It was envisioned as a light-hearted and humorous initiative to pull in more crowds over and above the core Bitcoin audience at the time.

Since then, Dogecoin has soared in popularity, mainly powered by its highly engaged online community and mentions of the cryptocurrency among vital social media influencers. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is one of the biggest advocates for Dogecoin and its popularity, praising it frequently for its low-cost operations and calling it a more energy-efficient alternative as a digital currency to Bitcoin. Musk’s tweets about DOGE have earned him the moniker of ‘Dogefather.’

How Does Dogecoin Work?

The Dogecoin blockchain network uses a proof of work consensus mechanism, although it uses Scrypt technology to power its mining algorithm. This makes mining for DOGE coins far less energy-intensive, cheaper, and faster than mining for Bitcoin.

The PoW consensus algorithm requires miners to solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and add new blocks to the Dogecoin network. In the process, new DOGE crypto is mined, and they receive a portion of the cryptocurrency as a reward for their efforts.

Millions of new DOGE coins are mined daily, and its high circulating supply is one of the biggest reasons why the Dogecoin price remains far lower than most of the leading cryptocurrencies in the market. The low DOGE price also gives it greater appeal as a digital currency to invest in and use for making online payments more efficient, one of the key drivers behind its creation.

Creating a new block in the Dogecoin blockchain takes just about one minute, one-tenth the time taken on the Bitcoin network. It also requires lower computing resources and complexity for mining DOGE, which is why it can offer lower transaction costs than the leading crypto by market cap.

Is Dogecoin a Good Investment?

Dogecoin has enjoyed being one of the most trending coins of 2021 through the bull run of the year. The Dogecoin price rally helped it shoot into the top league of cryptocurrencies based on market cap, powered by support from social media influencers such as Elon Musk. It has also given rise to a whole new category of meme tokens, starting with Shiba Inu (SHIB).

However, besides its meme coin status, Dogecoin offers an attractive way to power cryptocurrency adoption with a shallow barrier to entry, unlike Bitcoin. Although it originated as a joke, DOGE crypto offers a legitimate use case for empowering the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies as a payment method.

The low DOGE price and the high total supply also make it easy and relatively low risk to invest in, especially among new crypto users and traders. Bullish sentiment in the crypto market can encourage more new retail investors to start investing, which could power the DOGE price and market cap. Dogecoin crypto could be one of the most popular digital assets to buy during an upbeat mood in the crypto market.

The Dogecoin price and market cap could also see an uptrend as more businesses start accepting DOGE for payments. With its team of developers focusing on driving its adoption for online payments, this could be one of the most significant factors sending the Dogecoin price higher and making it worth buying DOGE and holding it.

History of Dogecoin

The meme-based cryptocurrency Dogecoin evolved out of a viral internet joke featuring the Shiba Inu breed of dog, which is used as the crypto’s mascot. The Dogecoin blockchain grew from a fork of a now-defunct cryptocurrency known as Luckycoin, which was initially forked from Litecoin and returned to Bitcoin.

Jackson Palmer, a co-founder of the meme coin DOGE, had tweeted that he would be willing to create a new cryptocurrency if anyone was interested. Billy Markus reached out to Palmer, and the two created Dogecoin together, launching it on 6 December 2013.

Over the years, the highly engaged online Dogecoin community has rallied support and donated to several global charitable causes in DOGE. The Dogecoin price enjoyed a steep rally through the crypto market bull run in 2017, but it gave back its gains when the market crashed the following year.

Interest in the meme coin soared through the bull run in 2020 and 2021, with several celebrities praising the DOGE crypto for its low fees, driving up its trading volume worldwide, and supporting the uptick in DOGE price. Since then, it has become one of the most widely accepted cryptocurrencies as a payment method by businesses, along with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
