Software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer created Dogecoin in December of 2013 and branded the cryptocurrency’s logo using a meme popular at the time, a Shiba Inu dog.

Despite starting as a joke, Dogecoin actually sponsored a NASCAR driver back in the 2014 Olympics as seen below.

Dogecoin arose in early 2021, Dogecoin gained cult status on Reddit’s WallStreetBets message board. Today Dogecoin gave exploded in value and gained more than 5,000% in 2021.

Among its backers is SpaceX and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, who called Dogecoin his favorite cryptocurrency, Mark Cuban, and modern banks like Revolut and Coinbase also support it.

Musk also named Dogecoin the “people’s crypto” and promised to plant a physical Dogecoin token on the moon, and Cuban also now allowed Dogecoin as a payment of method for his NBA team, Dallas Mavericks.
