Top places to buy Dogecoin now

What is Dogecoin?

Dogecoin was created as the friendlier and more approachable analog to Bitcoin. That isn’t the only difference; it also differs from Bitcoin's proof-of-work protocol in its use of Scrypt technology.

Dogecoin has a block time of 1 minute and the total supply is uncapped, which means that there is no limit to the number of Dogecoin that can be mined. You can mine Dogecoin either solo or by joining a mining pool.

A Doge miner can mine the digital currency on Windows, Mac or Linux, or with a GPU. As of 2014, you can also mine Litecoin in the same process of mining Dogecoin, as the processes were merged.

Should I buy Dogecoin today?

Dogecoin is the most valuable meme coin, but still a meme coin and prone to extreme price fluctuations as such. A simple tweet from a crypto meme lord like Musk can impact its value. Before you decide to invest in it, study the market and be prepared for the unexpected.
