What is Dogecoin? All about DOGE Token

What is Dogecoin?

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency created in 2013 based on Litecoin. The original intention of DOGE’s creator was to create a currency that is transparent, non-disputed and free from the hassles of conventional fiat money (like Bitcoin).

The logo of the DOGE coin is an image of a Shiba Inu dog.

Even the name of one of the founding members is called Shibetoshi Nakamoto. This is an unreal person, and was probably inspired by Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. However, since its inception, the coin has been enjoyed by many people and formed a loyal community that always follows the development of Dogecoin (DOGE).

Dogecoin features

Here are some salient features of DOGE coin:

• Unlimited quantity:  Anyone who owns computers with relatively little configuration can install software and mine DOGE. In other words, Dogecoin (DOGE) is increasingly inflationary.
• Simple Structure: Dogecoin (DOGE) is built on top of Litecoin. Its purpose is to be a decentralized currency. There are no other complicated purposes.
• Dogecoin (DOGE) is based on Litecoin's Scrypt algorithm: But its speed reaches 1 minute per block.
• Can be mined: Due to a simple algorithmic structure (Scrypt Proof of Work), to mine DOGE, you do not need to use highly configurable computers like ASICs, but can mine DOGE with a personal computer. Initially, block rewards for miners are random. However, by 2015, this reward was changed to 10,000 DOGE for each block mined.

Dogecoin’s Background

Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia in 2013. In a 2019 interview, Palmer said the idea for the project came from two internet tabs he opened on his computer at the time, including a tab with a meme featuring a picture of a Japanese dog Shiba Inu.

Palmer jokingly coined the phrase "Dogecoin" for himself and posted on his Twitter account: "Investing in Dogecoin, pretty sure it's the next big thing". It immediately attracted interest from the meme-fueled crypto community. Dogecoin officially launched in December 2013 and became a hit within the community.

In 2015, Palmer and Markus left Dogecoin and the project was entrusted to volunteer developers from the DOGE community.

Up to now, Dogecoin has developed very quickly and has become a meme coin associated with the name of the billionaire Elon Musk - who really really loves Dogecoin.
