Dogecoin (DOGE) is one of the major cryptocurrencies of contemporary time as it deals with transactions based on online social media specific contents. It was created after being taken out of Litecoin in 2013. The major features of this crypto include complete anonymity of the users and swift transactions. This has been able to provide a substitute payment and settlement ecosystem for social media content creators and clients specific to Twitter and Reddit. The theme and logo of Dogecoin (DOGE) are based on “Doge“- a popular internet meme of a Shiba Inu dog. The creators of the coin are Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia- they aim to take the market leading place of Bitcoin.
Elon Musk’s Joke –
The starting of April was really positive for Dogecoin (DOGE). On April 1st, Dogecoin posted an April fool’s Day Poll asking who should be the next CEO of Dogecoin. People voted highest for automobile major Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk. In response to that poll, Elon Musk tweeted light-heartedly that Dogecoin (DOGE) is the best crypto coin in the market. Soon, the statement traveled like fire finally pushing the price of the coin to a very high level. The almost 100% growth in the value left many experts and crypto enthusiasts in shock. The whole crypto market has inflated after April 1st, but near 100% growth was not according to the market.
We have listened to your concerns. We have decided that Dogecoin does need a CEO. Someone who can lead us into the future while maintaining the core values of what we are.
Below are the candidates, vote wisely.@VitalikButerin @SatoshiLite @elonmusk @MarshallHayner

Now the fire seems to have dozed off. The coin has been stable for the past week. But it is now being traded with more price than before the April fool episode. It has gained almost 40% on the previous price. All thanks to market interruption by Elon Musk with one joke. It should be noted that Elon Musk was recently penalized by the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission) for interrupting market trend of Tesla’s share by making false statements on Twitter. This cost Elon Musk $20 million and Chairmanship over Tesla’s board.
