About Dogecoin (DOGE/USD)
Dogecoin was created in December 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a parody of the speculative crypto craze, featuring the Shiba Inu "Doge" meme. Despite its satirical origins, Dogecoin developed a genuine community and real use cases in tipping content creators online. Unlike Bitcoin, Dogecoin has no supply cap, approximately 5 billion new coins are minted each year, making it permanently inflationary. The asset's most distinctive price driver is social media attention, particularly from Elon Musk, whose tweets have repeatedly caused double-digit percentage moves within hours. Dogecoin is merge-mined with Litecoin, which provides it with a well-established mining infrastructure.

FAQ
Why does Elon Musk move Dogecoin's price so much?
Musk has publicly promoted Dogecoin on multiple occasions since 2020, calling it his favorite crypto and referencing it in product launches. Because DOGE has a large retail base and no earnings, fundamentals, or dividends to anchor valuation, social influence from a high-profile figure can have an outsized effect on price relative to more utility-driven assets.
Does Dogecoin have a supply cap like Bitcoin?
No. Dogecoin is inflationary by design. Approximately 5 billion new DOGE are minted each year with no hard cap, which means its supply grows indefinitely. This contrasts directly with Bitcoin's 21 million coin limit and is one reason the two assets are valued differently.
What is merge mining, and why does it matter for DOGE?
Merge mining allows miners to simultaneously mine two compatible blockchains using the same proof-of-work computation. Dogecoin is merge-mined with Litecoin, which means Litecoin miners can secure the Dogecoin network at no additional cost. This gives DOGE access to a much larger mining pool than it could sustain independently, significantly improving network security.
Is DOGE/USD a CFD on StoicFX or do I own the coins?
