Dogecoin is contingent on the well-known Doge meme. It was released in 2013 by the cofounders as a playful jab at the mania surrounding some of the cryptocurrencies.
The meme digital currency has risen from the depths of obscurity in its initial years to take hold of the mainstream limelight in the current year. This is in large part because of all kinds of support from Tesla Inc. and SpaceX chief Elon Musk.
The digital currency sporting the Shiba Inu scheme is, as of now, the eighth most prominent virtual currency by market capitalization according to data received from CoinMarketCap. The digital coin, however, has gone down 73.2 percent from its peak high of 0.7376 USD that it achieved in May.
The Dogecoin Foundation was established a few years ago in the form of an intermediary to examine charities endorsed by the Doge society. The sudden rise in the popularity of the cryptocurrency this year, however, and the necessity to protect the digital currency’s IP rights has resulted in the renewal of endeavors to initiate a Dogecoin Foundation.
