This cryptocurrency was intended to be a satirical coin mocking Bitcoin. However, over time, it gained the support of a loyal community. The cryptocurrency was inspired by the iconic Doge meme featuring Kabosu, a Shiba Inu dog. One of the first uses of the coin was as a tipping bot on Reddit. The price of Dogecoin rose from $0.0002 to $0.002 within two weeks, providing significant returns for early investors. Although there have been ups and downs, DOGE reached all-time highs in 2021, a movement supported by Musk's appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Retailers and websites began accepting Dogecoin as a form of payment due to its popularity. Cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase and eToro added Dogecoin to their platforms due to customer demand.
