If Bitcoin is digital gold and Solana is a racing car, then Dogecoin is the internet’s favorite mascot. What started as a joke ended up becoming one of the most famous and well-loved coins in the world.
Dogecoin was launched on December 6, 2013. It was created during a time when many new cryptocurrencies were popping up with big, complicated promises. Dogecoin was made to poke fun at the hype and show that crypto could be lighthearted.
It was created by two software engineers who had never even met in person when they started it:
Billy Markus: An engineer at IBM from Portland, Oregon. He wanted to create a coin that was “silly” enough to appeal to people who weren’t tech experts.
Jackson Palmer: A marketing professional at Adobe in Sydney, Australia. He came up with the idea on Twitter (now X) and bought the website domain as a joke.
The “Doge Army”: Today, the coin is mostly driven by its massive community and famous fans like Elon Musk, who often posts memes about it!
Dogecoin (DOGE) is a cryptocurrency that features the face of the Shiba Inu dog from the famous “Doge” meme.
The “Fun” Coin: Unlike some crypto projects that are super serious, Dogecoin was built to be “fun and friendly.” It doesn’t try to be a “global computer” like Ethereum—it just wants to be easy-to-use money for everyone.
Unlimited Supply: While Bitcoin is rare (only 21 million), Dogecoin has no limit. Thousands of new coins are made every minute. This keeps the price low (usually just a few cents), so it feels more like “pocket change” for the internet.
The Motto: The community lives by the phrase D.O.G.E. — which stands for “Do Only Good Everyday.”
Even though it started as a joke, people use Dogecoin for some pretty cool things:
Internet Tipping: If you see a funny video on Reddit or a great post on X, you can send the creator a few Dogecoins as a “digital high-five.”
Charity & Good Deeds: The Dogecoin community is famous for its kindness. They have raised money to:
Build clean water wells in Kenya.
Help send the Jamaican Bobsled team to the Winter Olympics.
Sponsor a NASCAR driver (Josh Wise) so he could race in a “Doge-themed” car!
Buying Real Stuff: You can use Dogecoin to buy merch at the SpaceX shop, tickets for the Dallas Mavericks (an NBA team), and even food or gift cards at some stores.
