Dogecoin is one of the world’s most popular “memecoins.” Launched at the end of 2013, Dogecoin was originally created as a joke, but it’s since become something seriously valuable. In 2021, the coin became one of the world’s biggest cryptocurrencies, with a peak market capitalization of $85 billion.
