Amazon is considering accepting payment from dogecoin, and more than 6.5438+0.4 million people have signed the petition.

Dogecoin is a virtual currency, and its currency symbol is Doge. In the past week, the price of the newly-added "Internet celebrity" dogecoin rose by about 450%. On April 20th, its market value exceeded 50 billion dollars, making it the fifth largest cryptocurrency. According to foreign media reports, Amazon is considering accepting dogecoin as a payment method.

It is understood that last Friday night, dogecoin soared more than 200%, and the price reached a record high of 0.47 US dollars/piece, surpassing Marriott International or Ford Motor Company. Recently, more than 6.5438+0.4 million people signed a petition calling on Amazon to use dogecoin as a payment method.

In this regard, Mike Novogratz, founder of cryptocurrency commercial bank Galaxy Digital, said that investors should be very cautious about dogecoin. Dogecoin and GameStop are very similar, because both of them make meme coins successfully enter the group of young investors. While these investors are constantly shorting, dogecoin is also developing.

Dogecoin was born out of a joke.

The opportunity for the birth and spread of dogecoin is different from that of any digital currency. It has a strong spiritual concept.

Doge was originally a popular expression pack on the Internet. In 20 13, Jackson Palmer, an Australian marketer, decided to combine cryptocurrency with Doge, registered the domain name dogecoin.com, and left a note: If you want to make Dogecoin a reality, please contact me.

Billy Markus, an IBM software engineer, has just finished the token design in the game Forest of Animals. He noticed the news and thought it was a piece of cake: "It took dogecoin about three hours from' it looked interesting' to its final realization." He copied a lot of bitcoin codes and changed all the mines (mining) to digging (digging), because dogs can't dig mines, but only dig the ground.

Then he introduced dogecoin. Palmer doesn't even know how to mine. He said, "We thought this big joke would disappear sooner or later." . Unexpectedly, this big joke turned into $50 billion.
