Dogecoin
Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency created by Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus on 8 December 2013.
It was initially created based on a joke tweet. The creators thought it was "ridiculous" and a "funny inside joke for the altcoin community" which would "fade out within a few days."
It has however stood the test of time and is still a used cryptocurrency today.
The Dogecoin logo is based on the Doge internet meme, which uses an image of a Japanese dog called a shiba Inu combined with humorous quotations written in 'broken english' txt. I.e. "wow much coin" "very currency" "much riches"
