Dogecoin Development over Years and Current Volume
Dogecoin is a digital currency that enables users to easily send money online. It was founded in 2013 by Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus. Even though the founders abandoned it, Dogecoin gained more recognition in 2015 because of its low prices and low transaction rates.
Over the years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has repeatedly revealed his interest in the asset, making several comments about the cryptocurrency on Twitter. In 2019, the Tesla CEO posted a tweet declaring Dogecoin as his favorite cryptocurrency. Apart from calling Dogecoin his favorite asset, Elon Musk once posted a now-deleted tweet, saying “throw a dogecoin to ur witcher.” Celebrating his 2019 birthday on the 3rd of March, the Tesla CEO tweeted a picture of a Dog with the caption “Dogs rock”, depicting the Dogecoin logo. Not long after, he posted another tweet saying, “They have the best coin.”
