DEFINITION of Dogecoin

Dogecoin is another example of peer-to-peer cryptocurrency in the long list of Altcoins. It was invented by US-based IBM software developers Bill Markus and Jackson Palmer in December 2013. This Altcoin originally was considered as a joke currency, featuring a likeness of the Shiba Inu dog from the “Doge” internet meme as its logo. But one month later, when the currency has been released globally, it immediately became third of the most valuable Altcoin having a market cap equivalent to 53 million USD.
