Dogecoin
Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that was created in December 2013 as a fun and lighthearted alternative to Bitcoin. It features the Shiba Inu dog from the popular "Doge" meme as its logo. Originally intended as a joke, Dogecoin gained popularity due to its active community, charitable contributions, and use in tipping online content creators. Unlike Bitcoin, which has a capped supply, Dogecoin has an unlimited supply, which facilitates its use in small transactions and tipping. Its blockchain operates on a proof-of-work model, similar to Bitcoin, but with quicker transaction times. Over time, Dogecoin has evolved from a meme-based currency to a recognized digital asset in the cryptocurrency market.
