Review on Dogecoin by MUHAMMAD ARDI FERDIANSYAH
History of Dogecoin and experience
History of Dogecoin
Dogecoin was launched on December 6, 2013. Dogecoin uses a mascot derived from the popular meme of Shiba Inu's dog. What started as a small joke has now become a large crypto community. Dogecoin is also often known as a "friendly" digital currency for good reason. After its success, Dogecoin also became known for charitable donations and various positive activities.
Fans of Dogecoin call themselves Shibes! They even have their own Shibe language. The language is arranged based on broken English terms and phrases such as "such amazing", "much grateful", and "many work".
How is Dogecoin Used?
Now you know a little about what Dogecoin is, now we will discuss how to use it. The Dogecoin community has used the influence they have to carry out positive activities throughout the world.
In 2014, the Dogecoin community raised as much as 50,000 USD to help the Jamaican Bobsled team take part in the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
On World Water Day (March 22 2014), Shibes raised USD 30,000 to build a clean water well in Tana Valley, Kenya.
Shibes has also raised USD 55,000 to sponsor a NASCAR (North-American Stock Car Auto Racing) racer named Josh Wise. Wise is racing in a Dogecoin-themed car!
Dogecoin also has a large following on social media. Reddit facilitates a Shibe community that can give each other tips to members who post good content. They also use Reddit to raise charity funds. Dogecoin charity activities on Reddit are like SocksForTheHomeless and DogePizza.
