What is Dogecoin?
The wonderfully wacky history of the World's favourite crypto
Created by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in 2013, Dogecoin went from a fun little joke to "the people's currency" within a few years. Inspired by an internet meme of a Shiba Inu dog, it quickly gained popularity due to its low transaction fees and fast block times.
In the past few years it has experienced tremendous growth, reaching an all-time-high(ATH) price of $0.7376 in May of 2021 and market cap surging from around $20 million at the beginning of 2017 to over $85 billion at its peak.
