Facts about Dogecoin

Dogecoin is an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that allows you to easily send money online. Dogecoin was created in December 2013 by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon, who hoped to create a fun cryptocurrency that could reach a broader demographic than Bitcoin.

 

 The coin’s underlying technology is based on the Scrypt algorithm and has an average block time of only 60 seconds.

 

 Unlike Bitcoins, which are mined through complex mathematical computations, Dogecoins can be “mined” by simply participating in the transaction validation process so they have a relatively low barrier to entry for new members of the network.

 

Dogecoin is one of the most rapidly growing cryptocurrencies, the popularity of which peaked in December 2013. The coin’s success is a result of a well-publicized campaign that raised funds for the Jamaican bobsled team to go to the 2014 Winter Olympics. 

 

The campaign was so successful that it helped increase its popularity worldwide and sparked a rise in demand, which was only natural given that it is considered a good vehicle for online tipping.

 

 In fact, Dogecoin can be used as a form of payment even on Reddit, so it’s quite popular among users who enjoy tipping others for interesting or useful comments.

 

 It also has an active community on Twitter and many Dogecoin-based applications have been created. This Crypto Circle X  blog post will give facts about dogecoin.
