Buy Dogecoin (DOGE) in an Easy Way

What is Dogecoin?

Dogecoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency that takes its name from a popular online meme featuring a shiba-inu dog. This cryptocurrency has an active and extensive user community, allowing P2P transactions like other cryptocurrencies using blockchain technology.

One of the key differences between Dogecoin and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin is that there is no limit on the maximum supply of coins. As of November 2022, there were approximately 132 billion DOGE in circulation, with about 5 billion DOGE added each year. Meanwhile, the inflation rate is expected to be around 4% annually.

How does Dogecoin work?

Dogecoin technology is blockchain-based, and as with other cryptocurrencies, the entire system is managed by decentralized nodes (nodes). These nodes perform the process of confirming and registering transactions on the blockchain. However, this task requires significant computing power and energy to solve complex mathematical problems.

In the case of Dogecoin, the nodes that perform this work are rewarded in the form of Dogecoin for their efforts, which offsets the cost of mining. These nodes, known as Dogecoin miners, verify and confirm transactions on the network. Once a transaction is approved, a "block" of information is added to the Dogecoin blockchain, and then other nodes verify this information. This mechanism, known as proof-of-work (PoW), is widely used in cryptocurrencies, including BTC.

For example, if someone wants to send you 50 Dogecoin, nodes in the network compete to solve a complex math problem to verify that transaction. Once one of the nodes or the mining pool confirms the transaction, the remaining nodes verify its validity. If more than 50% of the nodes agree that the transaction is valid, the recipient receives 50 DOGE. The process is fully decentralized, and no intermediaries require additional fees.

Who created DOGE?

Dogecoin saw the light of day thanks to Jackson Palmer, an Australian resident and employee of Adobe Systems, who decided to make a joke amid the explosive growth of cryptocurrencies. In November 2013, he posted a statement on his Twitter page announcing his intention to invest in a new digital currency, Dogecoin. This statement generated a lot of interest in the community. One of his followers, a Front Range Community College student, suggested that the idea should become a reality.

This response prompted Palmer to buy the Dogecoin.com domain and develop an essential website. He posted an image of a Dogecoin coin, with the famous "doge" meme on the homepage, and appealed to the community, "If you want Dogecoin to become a reality, join."

However, the Dogecoin story doesn't end there. American programmer Billy Marcus contacted Palmer and offered his help in creating the cryptocurrency. He shared a desire to make a joke in the cryptocurrency world that would surpass Bitcoin in popularity and be associated with cheerful and bright moments.
 

Palmer and Marcus teamed up to create Dogecoin on the Bitcoin blockchain. This led to the launch of Dogecoin on December 6, 2013, and the cryptocurrency was officially announced on December 8. Within a few hours of the cryptocurrency's release, the first mining pool was created, and the first block was formed.

Although the project still has fun and banter spirit, Jackson Palmer exited it in 2015. Currently, the lead developer of Dogecoin is Max Keller, with Ross Nicoll and Patrick Lodder rounding out the team.

How Does Dogecoin Work?

Dogecoin is based on principles similar to other cryptocurrencies, especially those initially developed for making payments, such as Bitcoin.
 

Dogecoin is based on blockchain technology, a computer networking method that allows cryptocurrencies to function without a central authority like a bank. Dogecoin uses a proof-of-work mechanism to verify transactions, meaning that mining validates transactions. In exchange for their work, miners receive additional Dogecoin as a reward.

However, Dogecoin (like many other cryptocurrencies) has been criticized because of the large amount of energy miners consume in the proof-of-work system. In comparison, cryptocurrencies that use a proof of stake system require much less energy and have a much smaller carbon footprint.

Where to Store Your Dogecoins?

Storing your cryptocurrency safely is an essential step for every investor. When it comes to Dogecoin, you have several options to choose from.

Regardless of your storage method, remember the importance of security and back up your keys regularly. Dogecoins are your investment future, and keeping them in a safe place is critical to success.

Who owns Dogecoin?

The presence of decentralization in the cryptocurrency world makes it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to determine who owns the most significant amount of Dogecoin. Nevertheless, we can extract some information from publicly available data.

The largest Dogecoin wallet is believed to be owned by an investor associated with the Robinhood platform. This wallet holds approximately 29 billion Dogecoin, estimated to be roughly $1.8 billion. However, it is essential to note that this information is based on speculation and cannot be confirmed.
