Analysis

  • Dogecoin was initially created as a faster but “fun” alternative to Bitcoin by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer and was never meant to be a successful cryptocurrency.
  • Unlike Bitcoins, whose maximum possible number is fixed at 21 million (a figure that is estimated to be reached by 2040), Dogecoin numbers do not have an upper limit, and there are already more than 100 billion in existence.
  • Dogecoin can be exchanged for goods and services at platforms where it is accepted.
  • It can also be traded for fiat currencies like the US dollar.
  • The value of Dogecoin is volatile like other cryptocurrencies as it is not backed by any government.

Why some are concerned?
