Dogecoin is an altcoin that was designed to reach a much broader demographic than Bitcoin. The developer, Markus, wanted to keep this cryptocurrency fresh and fun so that it was far off and separated from the controversial past of Bitcoin and other similar digital currencies. Hence, Dogecoin was introduced in December 2013, as a ‘joke currency’ featuring a likeness of Shiba Inu Dog from the ‘DOGE’ meme. However, it grew in value and created a whole online community with thousands of users sharing the currency and posting memes about it online. In 72 hours, from the time it was introduced into the market, Dogecoin jumped nearly 300% in value, bouncing from $0.00026 USD to $0.00095 USD, with a volume of billions of Dogecoins per day.
The coin reached a capitalization of $60 million USD in January 2014, pushing the currency amidst the top cryptocurrencies in the market. In comparison to other significant cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin had a fast initial production schedule, with 100 billion coins in circulation by mid-2015 and an additional 5.256 billion coins every year. China’s decision to forbid Chinese banks from investing in the Bitcoin economy boosted the growth of this currency many folds. After its comeback from the online hacking, in January 2015, the trading volume of Dogecoin briefly surpassed Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies combined. At the beginning of 2018, Dogecoin reached a $2 billion market cap.
