Dogecoin (DOGE)

What is Dogecoin?

Here are five key points about Dogecoin (DOGE):

Dogecoin was launched in December 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, inspired by the popular Doge meme featuring a Shiba Inu.

It uses the Scrypt proof-of-work algorithm, making it merge-minable with Litecoin. This allows miners to earn both DOGE and LTC simultaneously.

Unlike Bitcoin, Dogecoin has no maximum supply. Around 10,000 DOGE are minted per block, with a new block produced every minute.

Transactions are fast and low-cost, making DOGE practical for microtransactions and everyday transfers.

Dogecoin is backed by a strong and active community, well-known for its humour, inclusivity, and grassroots fundraising efforts.
