A worrying success for investors
Since the beginning of 2021, the Dogecoin digital currency has been the subject of a lot of controversy and media coverage, as the currency is nothing more than a joke that began in 2013 to ridicule the fact that new digital currencies appear from everywhere and without a new reason or technology.
It is reported that the value and popularity of cryptocurrencies rose in popularity last year as a result of the economic fluctuations caused by the Corona pandemic and the promotion of these currencies by some institutions.
There is no good reason why Dogecoin is a currency of real value. Dogecoin has no apparent commercial or investment use, except for nerds speculating on it, and some of them trying to make money from it.
Much of Dogecoin's appeal is that it is very cheap to buy and sell when compared to other cryptocurrencies, which makes it more attractive to individual traders, who dream of making big profits from it.
It is difficult to take Dogecoin seriously, but the reality of the market imposes itself.
