Create a new orderWhat is Dogecoin?
Dogecoin (DOGE) has possibly the most unusual origin for any cryptocurrency in circulation today, beginning as a joke currency based on an internet meme. The Doge Meme consists of both pictures and videos of a Shiba Inu (柴犬) named Kabosu, with various pieces of coloured text expressing the dog’s emotions in the much-ridiculed font Comic Sans. These short phrases often use intentionally incorrect grammar, usually confusing adjectives used for either countable or uncountable nouns. The Doge meme usually reflects cute emotions or admiration but is also used when it is impossible to accurately explain what is happening in the picture. The DOGE project was conceived as a joke but surprisingly acquired a large following.

Project founders IBM programmer Billy Markus and Adobe product manager Jackson Palmer wanted to create a cryptocurrency that would not only be available for everybody (with the low value for 1 DOGE), but also stay away from the history of Bitcoin used in drug sales. Dogecoin was based on Luckycoin, which in turn was based on Bitcoin’s fork Litecoin.
Dogecoin’s launch was realized in just a couple of weeks, after online advertising exploded like a bomb. It was started as a joke for people going crazy over new digital coins but quickly turned into a serious currency. Two months after DOGE was presented to the public, its capitalization became $50 million. By mid-2015, there were already 100 billion coins in circulation.
Palmer quickly became worried about the commercialization of their joke. He never earned or stored DOGE for himself, refusing to receive money from advertising, and he also refused a $500,000 investment proposal from an Australian venture capital company. Palmer announced that he was leaving Dogecoin because he could not take his joke seriously in 2015.

How Did Dogecoin Appear On The Market?
Marketing consultant and expert Jackson Palmer along with programmer Billy Marcus created Dogecoin in 2013 as a digital currency aimed at making fun of bitcoins and the nascent ‘crypto fever.’ They used as their logo the famous Doge meme, never intending it to become anything serious. However, within just 15 days of its launch at $0.00026, its value had increased by a factor of 300.
The cryptocurrency even came to fund social work in countries like Kenya through the crowdfunding model. Its creators at the time defended betting on the fun side of the cryptocurrency phenomenon and justified the difference between their currency and bitcoin in terms of goals and development as simply: “Give value to absurd things.”

Dogecoin community
The Dogecoin community is a fun, lively place. They love to joke and exchange various memes about cryptocurrencies. The Dogecoin subreddit has over 120,000 members. You can read all Dogecoin news here. The community (they call themselves “shibes”) is usually very positive, friendly, and welcoming. They sincerely consider DOGE to be the best cryptocurrency in the world and believe that one day it will become more popular than Bitcoin. “Doge is life. Doge is love. Doge straight to the moon”.
The Dogecoin community even founded a nonprofit organization called The Dogecoin Foundation, fundraising for charity companies. The community organized fundraising of $50,000 for the Jamaican bobsleigh team that qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics but didn't have the funds to participate in the competition. After the first success, the community began collecting donations to build a well in the Tana river basin in Kenya (collaborating with Charity Water. In total, they managed to raise $30,000 for World Water Day (March 22). The community also raised some 67.8 million dogecoins (about $55,000 at the time) to fund NASCAR racer Josh Wise on March 25, 2014.
As previously mentioned, DOGE is often used as payment for goods and services. How to earn and buy DOGE Dogecoin faucets are websites that give out a small amount of DOGE for user activity; for example, performing simple actions such as passing a captcha. A typical crane works according to the following algorithm: the user is registered via e-mail on the crane website, binds the address of DOGE-wallet, passes captcha, and receives a reward.
