Dogecoin debuted with a market price of $0.00056 in December 2013. However, the meme coin soared to a new peak of $0.0187 in January 2018 before retracing and consolidating for over two years.
Amid Elon Musk’s comments, Dogecoin skyrocketed to a new all-time high of $0.7390 in May 2021 during the bull run at the time. Following a correction in 2020 and early 2023, DOGE has now recovered some of its losses, having skyrocketed to the current price of $0.4270.
At the current price, Dogecoin has increased 76,150% since its debut in December 2013. Meanwhile, at the time, Bitcoin traded for $1,206. With the pioneering crypto asset now changing hands at $98,070, it is up 8,031% since December 2013.
This confirms DOGE has outperformed BTC within the same timeframe.
