Dogecoin was dreamed up by ex-IBM and Adobe software engineers Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus on 06/12/2013. What started as a joke—complete with a Shiba Inu logo—quickly became a viral dog meme and evolved into one of the friendliest decentralized cryptocurrencies around. Early adopters used DOGE for charity drives and online tipping. By 2022, it ranked #12 on CoinMarketCap with a KSh 2,952,388,044,825.5 market cap.
The team originally capped supply at 100 billion coins, but later scrapped that limit so mining could continue—keeping individual token prices super low. Perfect for microtransactions and tipping your mates. No wonder Dogecoin: a currency for Kenyans.
You’ll spot DOGE everywhere in gaming. Players spin slots or join table games at new online casinos, or HODL it as an investment. Store it in your DOGE wallet and swap it for other coins on crypto exchanges in Kenya or via peer to peer crypto exchanges. Its decentralized network powers peer-to-peer transactions without banks calling the shots.
