When ideas and community purpose matter more than the last fin-tech innovation.
Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency, a form of digital money that like bitcoin, enables peer-to-peer transactions across a decentralized network.
If you’ve spent any time on the internet during the last decade, you shall have heard of the Doge meme: the iconic Shibe, barking comic sans quote like, “so scare,” “much noble,” “wow.”
At the peak of the meme’s popularity near the tail end of 2013, Palmer, an Australian marketer for one of the world’s largest tech companies, made a joke combining two of the internet’s most talked-about topics: cryptocurrency and Doge.
It was a joke taking aim at the bizarre world of crypto and at the recent coin-naming hype.
“Investing in Dogecoin,” Palmer tweeted, “pretty sure it’s the next big thing.”
And the tweet got a lot of attention.
So the joke became a true play.
He bought the Dogecoin.com domain and uploaded a photoshopped Shibe on a coin. Adding a note on the site: If you want to make Dogecoin a reality, get in touch.
And this is just the tip. So, If you are interested in knowing the greatest detail of Dogecoin history, we bet you’ll like this article by Alex Moskov published at CoinCentral.com

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.
