Dogecoin (DOGE) is a decentralized and open source peer-to-peer digital currency, favoured by Shiba Inus Worldwide. Dogecoin (DOGE) was created as a joke about cryptocurrencies in 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. In 2020, DOGE soared over 800% after it gained attention of the Reddit community, WallStreetBets.
Dogecoin cryptocurrency is not run by any individual company or person. It operates according to rules agreed by consensus, rather than decided upon by some founding or owning entity. The developers can release new software, but the community have to choose to use that software.
It has a loyal community of supporters who trade it and use it primarily for online purchases and tips. That community includes not just the end-users, but miners, exchanges, payment processors, etc.
