When it comes to Musk, doesn't everyone think of that super boss who can not only invent rockets but also make Dogecoin soar? That's right, this 'wizard' of the tech world can always create a big stir in the crypto market with a little 'magic' on social media. It's not an exaggeration to say he is the 'god' of the crypto world. Every time he makes a slight move, the market shakes. Even those 'meme coins'—the cryptocurrencies that initially make people think 'how can this thing be worth money'—can thrive under his tweets.
Among them, the two most popular 'stars' are none other than Doge and Pepe. Let's first talk about Doge; this Shiba Inu may have initially just been an internet joke, symbolizing those 'let's just buy and see' speculators, with no special value. As a result of Musk's series of actions, this 'cute dog' was pushed from a joke to the top of the crypto world. In 2021, Musk shouted on Twitter like a street vendor: 'Let's send Dogecoin to the moon!' And indeed, Dogecoin skyrocketed. With the rise of Dogecoin, the entire crypto world was immersed in the Shiba Inu craze. Even in November 2024, Musk was appointed head of a department called 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE), and Dogecoin suddenly welcomed another wave of growth.
But don't rush, Pepe is no small fry either. As we all know, Pepe is a big internet celebrity—the ugly yet cute frog has been roaming the internet for quite some time. On December 31, 2024, Musk suddenly got excited and changed his Twitter name to 'Kekius Maximus,' and even changed his avatar to Pepe. This move instantly made Pepe the 'new darling' of the crypto world. The KEKIUS coin was born, and its price skyrocketed by 3000%, making those investors who closely followed Musk's lead feel their hearts racing, thinking they were about to break through the door to financial freedom. But what happened? As soon as Musk changed his avatar back, the market value of KEKIUS coin deflated like a balloon, plummeting by 67%. Investors said: 'It felt like riding a roller coaster.'
Speaking of which, you might ask, who does Musk really care about? Is it Pepe or Doge?
Personally, I feel: Doge is the true soulmate.
Although Pepe briefly attracted attention, its bubble is just too easy to burst. Dogecoin is different; it has weathered many storms over the years and remains standing strong under Musk's affection. Doge is no longer just a 'joke'; it has its own community and a large fan base. Moreover, the technical aspects of Dogecoin are also improving, with the EMA line appearing to be gearing up, and breaking through the $0.4 mark in the near future seems imminent. If Musk continues to support Dogecoin and even integrates it into Tesla and SpaceX's business, the future of Dogecoin is expected to continue heating up.
However, no one dares to say that the crypto market is a 'stable' place. After all, if Musk's Tesla runs into trouble or global regulatory policies become strict, Dogecoin may also face a Waterloo. Tokens like KEKIUS, which rely on celebrity effects to take off, are even less reliable; once the hype fades, they are waiting to fall from grace.
Overall, Doge is like that good friend you've known for many years—somewhat silly, but always brings surprises. And Pepe, while it was popular for a while, is more like a 'viral celebrity' that can easily fade away if you're not careful. Musk's 'true soulmate' is still Dogecoin; after all, Shiba Inus not only have cuteness but also a profound 'crypto background'!
So, if you're still struggling with which coin to invest in, remember: Doge is the 'true love'. Pepe is funny, but it's only suitable as a short-term joke; for investment, you still have to rely on the 'power of the Shiba Inu'!
