Dogecoin is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency launched on December 6, 2013, by software engineers Billy Markus (IBM) and Jackson Palmer (Adobe). Initially conceived as a lighthearted parody of Bitcoin and the hype surrounding digital currencies, Dogecoin gained its distinctive identity by adopting the viral "Doge" meme - featuring a Shiba Inu dog with humorous, broken English captions. This playful branding infused the coin with a unique blend of entertainment value and community-driven appeal, setting it apart from more serious cryptocurrencies. Over time, its meme-inspired origins and active online following have contributed to its enduring popularity as both a digital currency and an internet culture phenomenon.
