Coinme Learn: What is Dogecoin (DOGE)? A chat with Jens Wiechers, Doge Foundation Board Member

What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?
In December 2013, Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, created Dogecoin not looking to outdo Bitcoin or reinvent the wheel, but to simply try to expand crypto’s audience through a unique method: Link a popular internet Shiba Inu meme with cryptocurrency.

Both Markus and Palmer believed that humor and a little fun could help clean up crypto’s tarnished image. They also thought a currency based on a popular meme would make for a great satire of the abundant emerging altcoins.

While Dogecoin, or Doge for short, may have started as a joke, it has since amassed serious enthusiasts, including some big-name celebrities.
