Popular cryptocurrency meme token Dogecoin ($DOGE) recorded record 25% gains in the last week as Twitter CEO continued to update his followers on what the future might have in store for the popular social media platform.
As well as the distinct possibility of Dogecoin being used for micropayments on the site, Musk was quick to remind his followers that all being well, lunar satellite DOGE-1 will be going in to orbit in the first part of the new year.
Alongside other lunar payload IM-1/NOVA-C, DOGE-1 is to catch a ride with the SpaceX Falcon 9 which is set to take off from the Kennedy Space Centre, Florida on January 14th 2023.
The Doge moon mission was first announced by Elon Musk in May 2021 but delays related to the IM-1 lunar lander have mean that the project has been pushed back. The renewed interest seems to be behind last week’s surge in the price of Dogecoin.
The price of Dogecoin currently stands at $0.094 which with a market cap of $12.5 billion makes the coin the 8th most popular cryptocurrency in the world today. Despite a recent drop of 4.5% over the last 24 hours the price action for Dogecoin over the last 7 days makes the coin one of the top movers in the past week.
Elon Musk’s relationship with Dogecoin is well documented with previous tweets by the newly installed Twitter boss having a profound and immediate impact on the token price. As recently as 25th November Dogecoin rose over 8% in as little as 24 hours after popular cryptocurrency podcast host David Gokhshtein told his 700,000 followers that he believed that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin would soon be working alongside Elon Musk to improve the efficiency of Dogecoin.
Interestingly, Mr Buterin commented that Dogecoin developers ought to think of transforming to a Proof of Stake based blockchain in September 2021 stating that the current Ethereum code can be easily used for such a transition.
How the future pans out is anyone’s guess but given recent events it may be safe to say that the future looks bright for DOGE. If the launch of the Doge-1 lunar satellite goes according to plan together with the much discussed possibility of DOGE being accepted as a micropayment option on Twitter then we may begin to see Dogecoin exceeding its record highs of $0.68 which were recorded in May 2021.
Of course, any price rise must take into account macro economic factors and the rising rates of global inflation but safe to say, Dogecoin is one of the most funny projects in cryptocurrency right now.

Wallet addresses are one of the most aggressive barriers to the mass adoption of digital currency. Trying to explain these lengthy, case sensitive, intimidating strings of numbers and letters to the uninitiated is a daunting task. Much of the general population values simplicity over function, and in this regard wallet addresses seem scary and overly complex.

Back in May, the Dogecoin community decided to take advantage of a competition McDonalds was hosting and tried to add a Dogecoin themed burger to the McDonalds menu. The competition is simple: design a burger online, pick the ingredients, and name it. The top voted burgers would be selected for judging and the winning burgers would sold in McDonalds restaurants for a week.
Early Troubles
Initially, multiple variations of the “Dogecoin” burger were submitted for entry. Examples include the McDogecoin, the McDoge, and the Doge Burger. Despite having been voted to the top, McDonalds had to remove most of these entries due to the name. In hindsight, this decision makes a lot of sense. Some customers (especially those who aren’t aware of the Doge meme) would find it very strange if McDonalds started selling “Doge” burgers all of a sudden.
Redemption
Of all the entries, the McShibe burger was the most tame and an announcement earlier today disclosed that McDonalds had selected the burger and invited the contestant to the kitchen.
Details
The judging will be held on June 29th and 11 other finalists will be invited. Of these 11, judges will select the top 5. These top 5 burgers will be made available on the UK McDonalds menu for a period of one week each.
Conclusion
Well — I guess we can add this to the eternal list of amazing things Dogecoin has done. It remains to be seen whether or not the judges will actually select the burger (or how good it actually tastes). Hopefully one of the judges is secretly a Shibe.
