Dogecoin

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that was created in December 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. It started as a joke based on a popular internet meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog, but it quickly gained a following due to its fun and friendly branding, as well as its active community. Dogecoin operates on a decentralized peer-to-peer network and is built on blockchain technology. It allows users to send and receive digital currency easily and has been used for various charitable causes and microtransactions. Unlike Bitcoin, which has a capped supply, Dogecoin has no maximum limit, meaning new coins are continuously created. Its inflationary nature and low transaction fees make it accessible for tipping and smaller transactions. Over the years, Dogecoin has garnered attention for its use in fundraising efforts and endorsements from high-profile individuals, contributing to its popularity in the cryptocurrency landscape.
