Dogecoin being a type of meme coin has made a massive change in the crypto world. By investing in it, people have made a whole lot of money from it.
What is a meme coin?
Meme coins are Cryptocurrency that became popular in a short period of time. This popularity is as a result of investors and influencers promoting them in the digital space. Dogecoin is the original meme coin created in 2013 as a joke based on a meme back then. It became popular because Elon Musk began tweeting about the Cryptocurrency and retail investors are making judicious use of the opportunity to buy the coin.
Due to the fact that anyone can create a new Cryptocurrency, developers have released a lot more meme coins after Dogecoin. As of writing this, there are more than 5,000 meme coins in existence.
The major difference between Meme coins and other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum is the utility. Meme coins serve no real-world purpose and it is created for investors to make fast money. Some of these meme coins gained popularity due to the fact that celebrities and retail investors promote them and this has resulted in its surging price over the months.
Investing in meme coins is quite unpredictable and as such it is similar to gambling than true investment. Making profits when you invest your money isn’t so certain because you could gain or lose in the process.

Due to the surge in the prices and popularity of cryptocurrency in 2013, investors and people took Cryptocurrency seriously. Bitcoin being the most popular cryptocurrency then surged from $1 to $1000. Triggered by the success of Bitcoin, so many cryptocurrencies were created. Palmer, being the creator of Doge meme, decided to create a cryptocurrency with the Doge meme as its logo.
Earlier this year, Dogecoin developed its dedicated community on Reddit and it also went viral on Twitter. Its wide popularity on Twitter was caused by tweets from Elon Musk that went viral. In some of the tweets, Elon Musk tagged himself as the father of Dogecoin. He further reiterated that people shouldn’t invest their life savings in this widely surging cryptocurrency. Dogecoin increased from a market valuation of $3 billion to $45 billion within weeks.
Over the last few days, the prices of Dogecoin have increased by more than 10% and the market capitalization of both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu has increased to over $40 billion. Many people in the Bitcoin and crypto community expected the prices of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu to give up their gains but influencers like Elon Musk could control the market with his tweets.
Elon Musk promised in the tweet that he’s going to upgrade Dogecoin to beat Bitcoin hands down. This year, Elon Musk has adopted Dogecoin as a pet project that can easily soar Bitcoin. Shib Inu on the other hand doesn’t have the might of Dogecoin and it is clearly known as the gamblers favorite. In actuality, the Shiba inu is more of gambling rather than being an investment or trading.
The Shiba Inu’s Case

Shiba Inu is regarded as an altcoin because it belongs to the category of other Cryptocurrency aside Bitcoin. Although Shiba Inu is cheap and tempting to buy, experts say that investors should do their in-depth research before investing in it.
