Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that started as a joke but has grown into one of the most well-known digital assets in the world. Created in 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, Dogecoin was inspired by the popular "Doge" meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog. Initially, Dogecoin was intended to be a fun and lighthearted alternative to Bitcoin, with a focus on fostering a friendly and supportive community. Despite its humorous origins, Dogecoin quickly gained a following and has since been used for various purposes, including tipping content creators, charitable donations, and microtransactions.
Dogecoin operates on a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, similar to Bitcoin, but with a few key differences. Dogecoin has faster block times, allowing for quicker transaction confirmations, and an unlimited supply, meaning that new Dogecoins can continue to be mined indefinitely. This inflationary supply model contrasts with Bitcoin's capped supply of 21 million coins. Dogecoin's accessibility and low transaction fees have made it a popular choice for small transactions and online tipping, contributing to its widespread use within internet communities.
