Dogecoin Hits Record Gain Without Elon Musks Tweets!

Dogecoin Hits Record Gain Without Elon Musks Tweets!

Dogecoin and Elon Musk are a thing for sure! Everybody knows it for a fact. Since the coin caught fire on social media, you hardly hear any news about it without the mention of the world’s second-richest dude.

Musk’s Complicated Affair with DOGE

Ironically, despite being the face of it, Musk isn’t even the brains behind DOGE. Dogecoin was created 8 years ago by two gentlemen, Jackson Palmer, and US entrepreneur, Billy Markus. In essence, it was forked from another crypto known as Litecoin.

Since the coin went public, Musk’s Tweets have influenced its performance until recently when Dogecoin went up 28.29 percent, to touch a record high, without his social media influence.

Crypto assets like dogecoin are decentralized. They simplify P2P transactions making online money transfers painless. DOGE is the 7th most valuable asset on the FTX exchange trade at $0.273208 with a per-day trading volume of $9.2 billion.

While Musk has enjoyed being at the vanguard of a seemingly exploding coin, he’s also faced criticism for his Dogecoin Tweets. In particular, critics say Dogecoin was a high-risk investment because of its dramatically volatile nature which only benefited a few investors.

Making Dogecoin Mainstream

Also, in a bid to make it mainstream, Doge investors have entered a partnership with Oscar Mayer, a food manufacturing firm. Hopefully, this deal will encourage customers to pay for items via Dogecoin and influence the coin positively. Nevertheless, it’s still too early to tell whether or not this move will increase the adoption of crypto payments.

But this doesn’t render the coin incompetent. In fact, Dogecoin keeps attracting the attention of crypto-friendly brands and might stand a better chance as more businesses embrace it.

Final Words

Dogecoin is the crypto symbolized by the now-popular dog emblem. You’ll notice myriad dog-related representations on social media memes. Hopefully, the coin will continue gaining and stabilize as a market staple.
