Well, when billionaires swear by it, it’s time to start taking it seriously. It’s time to discuss how Dogecoin and how a joke can change the world.
Dogecoin’s origins
This story begins, to most people, as a joke cryptocurrency. But there’s more to it than humor.
In 2013, Jackson Palmer, an Adobe engineer, had a hobby of following the cryptocurrency craze. Take Bitcoin, for example. That year, its value went up to $266, dropped to $50, $100, $70, and, by year’s end, $140.
Around that time, a Shiba Inu became the go-to meme for mispronounced knowledge on anything and everything, earning the nickname Doge.
