Dogecoin (DOGE), the King of meme coins, has been surging lately. Though the Dogecoin price slumped a little today, its weekly gains remain over 100%. The main reason for this latest crypto news is the recent victory that Elon Musk has attained against Twitter. This is due to the fact that Musk has been supporting DOGE for a while now, which has impacted the Dogecoin price several times.
About Dogecoin
The official website of this meme coin states that:
“At its heart, Dogecoin is the accidental crypto movement that makes people smile! It is also an open-source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that utilises blockchain technology, a highly secure decentralised system of storing information as a public ledger that is maintained by a network of computers called nodes. More than this, though, is the ethos of Dogecoin, summarised in the Dogecoin Manifesto, and its amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you!”
The Dogecoin crypto is a result of a popular joke but still managed to gain immense popularity. In addition, many cryptos were launched subsequently taking inspiration from it, the topper in the list has to be DOGE-rival Shiba Inu (SHIB).
