The history of the creation of #Dogecoin (DOGE) begins in 2013, when programmer Billy Marcus worked for some time on the creation of a new cryptocurrency. His colleague Jackson Palmer, who cheerfully looked at a Shih Tzu dog in one of the memes, jokingly suggested creating a #cryptocurrency based on this image.
Intrigued by this idea, Marcus and Palmer began working on creating a new cryptocurrency.
They chose the #blockchain technology that underpins many other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, and decided to create their own version.
✅ In December 2013, Dogecoin was launched by an initiative group including Marcus, Palmer and a large number of interested Internet users. They spread memes and promoted the new cryptocurrency through social media, including Reddit and Twitter.
The story of Dogecoin is an example of how even a joke project can become successful in the world of cryptocurrencies.
