Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that was created in December 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. It started as a lighthearted joke based on a popular internet meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog. Despite its origins as a parody, Dogecoin has gained a significant following and has been used for various purposes, including online tipping, charitable donations, and crowdfunding.
