In 2013, Dogecoin was born as a joke by IBM and Adobe engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. From a joke, it suddenly turned into a crypto star with a market capitalization in the billions of dollars. This happened, of course, not without the help of Elon Musk — a loyal ally of all meme coins, who actively wrote about Dogecoin on Twitter in the first half of 2021. This coin was created as a fork of two already existing cryptocurrencies — Litecoin and Luckycoin, and it did not have any significant capital at launch. Well, today DOGE benefits not only from its meme status, but the token has also found other uses — it is used as tips on Reddit and Twitter.$DOGE
