About

Dogecoin (DOGE) is based on the popular internet meme "doge" and features a Shiba Inu logo. The open-source digital currency was created by Billy Markus of Portland, Oregon and Jackson Palmer of Sydney, Australia, a fork of Litecoin that took place in December 2013. The creators of Dogecoin envisioned it as a fun, laid-back cryptocurrency that would have wider appeal, going beyond Bitcoin's target audience as it was based on a dog meme.
